@newsguyusa but he hasnt seen them.

Just like the invisible pink unicorn.

Tbh i prefer that kind of cheeky answer. Can you imagine what the orange clown would say?

Yes we have the best aliens of the world and I want to make great deals with them.

@newsguyusa A President with real humor, rather than insults disguised as "jokes". How I miss that guy!

@newsguyusa He’s right. The mars attacks aliens are in the white house, not area 51

@newsguyusa guess Blue MAGA have finally discovered their Toe Rogan to do podcasts for the brain dead.

@newsguyusa
The possibilty, that there is some kind of alien life in this big universe is not low.
Think about alien micro-organismsn.

But all we could do in our lifetime would be to find out if lightyears away and long ago were indications of alien life somewhere.

@newsguyusa he's basically saying he cannot make an epistemologgical statement about it. Which does not unwarrant the statement that aliens are real by the way. Although not very Socratic of him this basically falls in the category 'move on folks nothing to see here'...

@newsguyusa

"Aliens are real" has more than one possible meaning, the most disappointing of which is only:

" 'Foreigners' are 'a thing'. "

Interpreting it:

"It is true that there exists extraterrestrial life forms from (an) advanced civilization(s) somewhere in the cosmos light years away from Earth"

is how many would read that, though, and, knowing this, so-called "disclosure" is often done sharing no important information at all.

Just let the uneducated public fill in the blanks with their poorly educated assumptions, let their imagination run wild, and if you do this skillfully, you can pretend to expose something while keeping them in the dark about it.

It's like BRAWNDO.

BRAWNDO's got what plants crave, it's got electrolytes.

@newsguyusa That is what I thought he meant about "aliens". Not what to 'popular press wrote.
After all, he is not an orange nincompoop, he engages his brain before speaking.
