Do you consider Chuck Schumer to be "batshit crazy"?
https://www.democrats.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/schumer-rounds-introduce-new-legislation-to-declassify-government-records-related-to-unidentified-anomalous-phenomena-and-ufos_modeled-after-jfk-assassination-records-collection-act--as-an-amendment-to-ndaa
This guy?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuck_Schumer#Political_style
The guy most known for being willing to do absolutely anything to get the media talking about him?
He asked if you considered Chuck Schumer to be "batshit crazy", not whether Chuck Schumer loves media attention. I think we can all agree that most politicians love media attention, and Chuck Schumer is certainly one of them.
Are you going to dismiss every piece of legislation Chuck Schumer puts his name on simply because he loves media attention?
Chuck Schumer is the moderate leader in the Dem majority Senate, and instead of trying to pass any of the Dem party platform, he's working with Republicans on this bullshit...
I guess I should have said this
But yes, if Schumer says aliens are visiting Earth, then he's batshit crazy. Which explains a lot actually, I thought he was a sellout, but he's probably also crazy
If you actually read about this it really has nothing to do with aliens and everything to do with black money and aerial safety for our pilots. It's crazy that finally when we a bipartisan problem everyone freaks out about that instead of the actually issue it wants to address
Where in the legislation does it say 'alien'?
What?!
I said:
And people started asking me if I thought Schumer was crazy...
So I said:
And your response is to say Schumer never said aliens...
Like, seriously, do you understand how there is absolutely zero logic in the questions I'm getting here?
If he never said it, why the fuck are all of you bringing him up like some kind of gotcha?
The bar was really low to begin with, but do you honestly not see the flaw in your argument? Because if so, this is less funny than sad, and I'm legitimately starting to feel bad at this point.
You could just not pay attention to this issue? We are here to discuss it. Calling people "crazy" isn't really persuasive.
You could present an argument that they don't really believe and of this, for example.
In Schumer's case, his mentor was "batshit crazy" Harry Reid, who was in favour of researching the phenomenon and he is basically carrying on this legacy. I don't think he would do that if he didn't believe there was something there. Aliens? Maybe. Let's do actual scientific research and find out?
Either he said they were aliens or he didn't.
If he didn't, why is everyone bringing him up?
Lol ok
Just realized you were one of the people who brought up Schumer...
No wonder you took it personal, and now can't defend it.
I'm sorry if I'm replying to the wrong comment, but I'm just going to respond to this most recent one.
Chuck Schumer was originally mentioned because in your initial comment, it seemed as though you were only linking 'crazy' Republicans to the topic. We were pointing out that this is the most bipartisan issue to date.
I'm not sure what there is to defend on our end. Are you implying that anyone who believes E.T. is behind UAP is crazy? Do you have a specific reason for thinking that those who believe in this hypothesis are irrational? It's just one of many hypotheses, and perhaps not even the most 'crazy' one by your definition.
Have you checked any links in the sidebar such as uap.guide and some of the cases listed here? I'm curious as to what you think is behind the Phenomenon?
Edit: Corrected some punctuation.
Edit edit: A more comprehensive post that lays out a lot of cases for skeptics such as yourself to look at.
