I’ve been saying that since his dumb ass was elected lol
Are people really just now figuring this out?
Some haven’t figured it out yet.
The same Trump who didn’t read intelligence briefings? They probably handed him one on day one that explained aliens and Area 51 are all real and he used it to wipe burger grease off his mouth while he was writing a Tweet with his other hand in all caps.
I mean Area 51 definitely exists, it’s in Nevada, they test experimental aircraft there.
Worst comic I ever read
It was above his security level.
Correct, Truman was not allowed to know about the Manhattan project until it was already viable and needed to be known.
Truman became president on April,12 1945. He was given a full briefing on the Manhattan project on April 24,1945. That doesn’t seem like he was being kept in the dark.
It was one of the most important and costly projects of the war, 12 days is a lifetime during a war quite literally. That’s also ignoring the fact that the vice president was kept in the dark until after FDR died and Truman took office.
That was the full briefing and Truman had been told about it earlier. And him not being told while he was vice president is irrelevant to information being withheld from a president.
That’s dated April 24.
It’s not, the administration by in large knew FDR was dying and would likely die before leaving office. Truman effectively was a president in waiting rather than a vice president.
“I mentioned it to you shortly after you took office …”
Yes that he needed to speak about something important. Draw your own implication but it doesn’t actually say what your implying it says.
This I can absolutely believe. You really think the entrenched MICC is going to give him access?

There never were aliens at Area 51.
It was all just a ruse to cover up even more dark shit.
Think of things banned by the Geneva convention, like biological weapons, torture techniques, war crimes, …
Making people think it is aliens makes it seem innocent by comparison.
torture techniques, war crimes,
Wouldn’t that be Guantanamo Bay?
The reason that people belived it was aliens is that people are stupid. Area 51 was a secret but not so much anymore. Now we know it was useful for secret projects like A-12. It’s a convenient place to do test flights of secret shit.
I mean anyone with a brain knew the area 51 alien story was bullshit. But I guess liberals need trump instead.

Agreed. One should always make fun of feckless fascists.
Well - didn’t he try? If I am not wrong - the latest string of UFO / UAP reports started during the Trump presidency. I wouldn’t be surprised if Trump was the one who asked the Pentagon to “show the people the aliens” - in hopes that it will change the nations focus from his own mental or moral disabilities. And the Pentagon has obliged - and showed people the aliens in all their glory. 👽
The result is that now we know much more about various optical illusions that happen in military binoculars, telescopes and such - than we did ever before.
Wait, so you’re attributing things that were seen on scanners and with the naked eye of military pilots were optical illusions? Has this been confirmed with any credibility? Or are you using your “common sense”
Well - the videos don’t look very persuasive to me, I am not an expert though. But judging from the same wikipedia article experts weren’t impressed either… I mean even Pentagon itself comments that
“UAP probably lack a single explanation”, and proposed five possible categories of explanation: airborne clutter, natural atmospheric phenomena, US government or industry development technology, foreign craft, and an “Other” category
When you say aliens - I am thinking something like the “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” - and all I got was learning about bokeh and paralax 😇
Bros, this is really easy: The US Air Force was developing all sorts of secret stuff during the Cold War, to keep it secret from, you know, the Russians.
When a secret spy balloon crashed in a public place in Roswell, the Air Force didn’t answer any direct questions and when someone asked if it could be aliens, their reply was, “it can be whatever you want!”
Part 2: Everyone forgot all about the whole event for 30 years, because it was completely unremarkable. Then, after the Watergate scandal, everyone was super suspicious of the government, because one conspiracy had just turned out to be true. And one guy got on the radio and was like, “yeah well the government even has aliens, remember Roswell?” And nobody did, so then they retold the story in the most suspicious way possible and he sold a ton of books.
And that’s where aliens come from.
The aliens were using an inflatable probe to monitor Earth’s weather conditions.
Why can’t they use an inflatable probe to monitor my prostate?
And that’s where aliens come from.
When a mommy alien and a daddy alien love each other,
And if we’re being really honest, the government probably doesn’t mind the alien conspiracy theories at all because by having a fake reason to hate the government you’re distracted from the real reasons to hate them. People that focus on the fact that the government might be withholding information about aliens from them have a higher chance of forgetting about the government withholding things like healthcare, food security, student debt relief, public transportation, consumer rights, survivable minimum wages, etc etc.
Lol no one would’ve told Trump any of that even after he was elected
Yeah I’d be pretty sure the team around him would have been very careful about what information they gave him.
They went through all this in Independence Day. “Plausible deniability.”
They probably gave him documents on it, but he’s borderline illiterate so he wouldn’t have touched them.
If the documents didn’t say his name in the first couple of sentences, he wouldn’t read them.
That’s why he still had classified documents after he left office. He couldn’t figure out what the big red letters “Top Secret” meant.
He probably got it confused with “Pop Secret” and thought he stole the national popcorn reserve.
In order to learn anything about it, Trump would have had to have been curious about it, and since the subject is Area 51 and not Donald Trump you can be certain that it didn’t cross his mind even once.
Aliens are glad to see you upvoting this meme.
Presidents don’t get that information. It’s on a need-to-know proprietary basis only. I was in the Army in military intelligence and there was indeed a portal in our computer system regarding UFOs and aliens but I did not have access to it because it was not part of my job. The closest we’ve heard of Presidents knowing about aliens is when Bill Clinton pontificated about it on some late-night talk show.
Yes he could, for money.
If any of it is true, he sold that information to the highest bidder.
Trump is not a good (if at all) businessman.
Woah, I forgot about least I could do. I used to read that all the time In high school.
I stopped reading it (and a few other web comics) when Google Reader went away.
Penny arcade is apparently also around, I saw something about them a couple months ago. And questionable content. Can’t say I like the way any of their art styles developed but I’m impressed they kept any sort of readership for this long.
Of course Penny Arcade is still around. They host some of the biggest video game expos that still run: PAX.
What “questionable content”? I mean, they’ve always had that, I’m just curious what specifically you’re talking about.
As for the art style, yes, Mike has purposely refused to stick to any specific style and just kind of does what he wants. Which has resulted in some art a lot of people aren’t fond of (myself included) but at least he’s still trying new things. I mean, in a world where most comics that gain notoriety are deliberately bad or simplistic art that often isn’t even colored, it’s nice that PA is still trucking along actually drawing real art.
Honestly, Penny Arcade has kind of just become like any comic strip: you read it every now and again, you aren’t checking in regularly. And it’s only partially the comics, the other half are Jerry’s attached blog posts which are usually worth a read.
I keep coming back to it because it’s interesting seeing these guys grow up. There was one recently where Gabe tells the reader “if you were reading early Penny Arcade in college, it’s time to get your prostate checked”.
As someone else said, questionable content was another welcoming from the same time period as the other two which I also learned recently is still publishing.
What “questionable content”? I mean, they’ve always had that, I’m just curious what specifically you’re talking about.
Pretty sure they mean Questionable Content, the webcomic.
I had the exact same response. Rayne has a girlfriend now? (Wait do I even remember his name correctly?)
Yes, it’s Rayne. And he’s been with Julie for years (I still read it daily).
Really? What’s the gimmick (By lack of beter word) of Rayne now he’s not a slut anymore?
Trying to raise his niece (who lives with him), navigating his relationship, some silly hijinks and adventures still.
“Why the hell wasn’t I told about this place?”
"Two words Mr. President, ‘plausible deniability.’"
First thing I thought of too. Love that movie.
I recognize the quote but I need help, what’s the movie?
Independence Day
That’s it! Thanks
It’s just so…entertainy
Possible what?
Plossible deny ability
Flossable? These things have teeth?
