Oh so improperly handling classified information is a bad thing now because the black guy did it? What a fucking loser

[-] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 114 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

"I don’t know if they’re real or not… I can tell you he gave classified information."

If he doesn't know if they are real or not, how does he know if Obama gave out classified information?

Ohh right. Common sense and logic don't apply here. I forgot.

Edit: fixed a typo.

[-] Nay@feddit.nl 26 points 3 weeks ago

"Someone told me Obama did it, and I don't care to verify the information because it fits my worldview."

I would guess that his logic essentially amounts to “Obama is black and I don’t like him, so he’s in trouble, and I don’t really care what sort of trouble it is, only that I can somehow make it stick”

WHERE ARE THE FUCKING EPSTEIN FILES? WHEN THE FUCK ARE PEOPLE IN THE EPSTEIN FILES GONNA GO TO FUCKING JAIL???

[-] dogslayeggs@lemmy.world 46 points 3 weeks ago

So either Trump is correct that Obama revealed classified information, which: Awesome! Aliens are real, man!

Or Trump is a lying piece of shit who believes that revealing classified information is a crime, which: Awesome! Prosecute yourself, asshole!

[-] Safetyshaft@lemmy.world 11 points 3 weeks ago

Trump is a child raping Nazi pedo, nothing more.

[-] Glytch@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

He's a few other things too, but none of those things is "good honest person".

[-] cknight@fedinsfw.app 10 points 3 weeks ago

Statistically its highly unlikely we're the only intelligent life in the universe. He believes the numbers.

But has any intelligent life visited Earth? Obama doesn't know, but there are no aliens at Area 51.

You can't classify a non-fact.

Trump huffs martian paint!

[-] monkeyslikebananas2@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Of course they aren’t at Area 51! Their bodies and space crafts are actually at S-4!

I don’t actually think they are there

[-] Duke_Nukem_1990@feddit.org 1 points 3 weeks ago

Is it that unlikely? The universe isn't just really big it's also fucking old. We might have missed the party or we might be the first. I'd be hard pressed to put a statistical number on that.

[-] dogslayeggs@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

There are a billion stars in our galaxy.

There are between 100 billion and 2 trillion galaxies in the observable universe.

That's roughly 10^24 stars, each of which might have (at some point in time) contained life on one of their many planets. Even if our Earth is a one in a trillion statistical anomaly, that still leaves like a billion or so Earths that could have life. Whether they are intelligent and whether they achieved intelligence at the same time as us is a whole different story.

Like you said: that doesn't mean they've visited us.

Trump revealed classified information by confirming Obamas statement.

[-] lka1988@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 weeks ago

Fascism 101: The enemy is both weak and powerful.

[-] W3dd1e@lemmy.zip 40 points 3 weeks ago

I know the US Government doesn’t have proof of aliens. Trump would have already used it to distract from the Epstein files.

[-] Entertainmeonly@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 3 weeks ago

Thats what this is.

[-] Patrikvo@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 weeks ago

If they had any, ICE would allready be on route to Area 51.

[-] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Right?

This pedo dipshit has zero control over himself. If aliens have visited Earth he would have spilled the beans in 2016.

[-] Linktank@lemmy.today 39 points 3 weeks ago
[-] CobraChicken3000@lemmy.ca 39 points 3 weeks ago

How do you know it's classified if you don't even know if it's real, you insufferable pedo!?

[-] RandAlThor@lemmy.ca 32 points 3 weeks ago

This is interesting. Trump is indirectly validating Obama.

[-] redsand@infosec.pub 4 points 3 weeks ago

Or he's really really hurt that no one told him and doesn't know for sure

[-] Wilco@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 weeks ago

They didn't tell him because he is classified as a hidden security risk ... he would scream it out at random.

[-] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 21 points 3 weeks ago

Whether he’s right, wrong, or a hypocrite, he’s going to use this to try and throw Obama in jail. 

[-] village604@adultswim.fan 6 points 3 weeks ago

I doubt even he wants to set the precedent of arresting former presidents.

[-] N0t_5ure@lemmy.world 17 points 3 weeks ago

Considering that he's never leaving office, I doubt he cares about president precedents.

I don't think he thinks of anyone else or consequences.

[-] FaceDeer@fedia.io 5 points 3 weeks ago

But he wants Obama in prison now! What does the future have to do with that?

[-] baronvonj@piefed.social 5 points 3 weeks ago

Perhaps you forgot he already posted an AI video of Obama being shoved to the floor in the oval office and arrested by the FBI.

He intends never to be a "former" president again.

[-] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 20 points 3 weeks ago

Sounds exactly like a playground snitch...

He gave classified information. He’s not supposed to be doing that. I don’t know if they’re real or not… I can tell you he gave classified information. He made a big mistake,” the president told Fox News’ Peter Doocy aboard Air Force One.

[-] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 20 points 3 weeks ago

My question here is, why the fuck would aliens initiate contact with the USA when the rest of the world is right there.

[-] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 8 points 3 weeks ago

Because we need an excuse for all those sexually molested cattle.

[-] NatakuNox@lemmy.world 19 points 3 weeks ago

How I imagine every press conference ends with Dementia Don

[-] ironhydroxide@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 weeks ago

Should be "sure Donny, but it's time to change your diaper"

[-] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 19 points 3 weeks ago

I remember seeing Obama in a recent you tube vid a few days ago speaking about aliens. Now trump is shouting about aliens. Trump's ODS is in full swing at all times. (Obama Derangement Syndrome).

[-] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 16 points 3 weeks ago

Trump is married to an alien, technically…

[-] Lemminary@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Wouldn't surprise me if she could peel her skin off her face

Picture taken from the white house before she puts on her makeup.

It's the same picture.

[-] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 13 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah so about the Epstein files.

[-] NutWrench@lemmy.ml 11 points 3 weeks ago

So anyway, how about those Epstein files?

[-] Wilco@lemmy.zip 10 points 3 weeks ago

The Obama administration responded to a petition and gave a vague answer about aliens.

[-] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago

"I raped kids and this seems like a great distraction."

[-] ChaoticEntropy@feddit.uk 5 points 3 weeks ago

Was the fact that they're not holding aliens in cold storage classified...?

[-] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 weeks ago

Distraction.

[-] SouthFresh@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

What a sucker.

[-] unnamed1@feddit.org 3 points 3 weeks ago

I don’t even know what they mean with Aliens. This country has alienated itself from me.

[-] Lembot_0006@programming.dev 2 points 3 weeks ago

Trump: If I were a president there wouldn't be any aliens!
