GOP Oversight Member Suggests Smithsonian Hiding Bones of Giants (meidasnews.com)

In June, Rep. Eric Burlison, a Missouri Republican serving on the House Oversight Committee, appeared on BlazeTV’s Prime Time with Alex Stein, where he discussed his belief that giants once existed. Burlison told Stein he was scheduled to be at “NephCon 2025,” a conference focused on fringe topics including the biblical Nephilim —figures in Genesis that some interpret as the giant offspring of angels and human women.

He credited Timothy Alberino’s podcast with sending him “far down the rabbit hole,” eventually reaching claims that the Smithsonian Institution is hiding evidence, the bones of past giants that lived on the Earth. Burlison suggested that, as a member of the Oversight Committee, he could investigate the Smithsonian.

No dingus, its your abject dismissal of the possibility that there could be something you don't know in the universe, "sky daddy" is just your way to be a snarky douch about it and feel superior and smart for stealing it from a meme (you're not creative, I've seen it before.) You are so upset about the fact that I'm an agnostic about the possibility that there is something to all the countless reports of UAPs over the literal centuries, by all means don't let me shake your faith, but you're not going to shake my lack of one either, and have even less of a chance to do so the more you try to act like a smug dick.

This would be the perfect time to end this tiresome "you missing the point" contest.

I never claimed this, that's you making up a narrative.

I’ve seen it before

Lol, literally got me chuckling

You are so upset about the fact that I’m an agnostic about the possibility

No, another weird narrative made up by someone who appears to be a vulnerable narcissist

countless reports of UAPs over the literal centuries

No, I was saying that Rep Luna is a liar as well as the GOP and should not be trusted, especially with their narratives that aliens will save us or whatever. Read again, kiddo

you’re not going to shake my lack of one either, and have even less of a chance to do so the more you try to act like a smug dick.

Lmfao omg, I don't care about your opinion of aliens but of the MAGA people lying and claiming aliens will come save us - it is a lie. All other alien stuff is irrelevant to this. I fear this is obvious but you are fullly enthralled in covert narcissistic delusions about this topic, inventing narratives to make yourself into a victom to stroke your ego - when it wasn't about any of this in the first place. Cmon kiddo, stick with reality and what's being said, not weird narrarives and delusions you're making up, you can do it! You got this!

You literally told me to "stop believing in the sky daddy" in reference to "who knows, the government isn't even denying it anymore, there could be something out there." I literally copied/pasted it in a previous comment because it seemed like you forgot, but now I'm thinking this is just a sad attempt at gaslighting.

Dude. The thread is all there above, it's not like you can say "nuh uh I never said that" when there's a written record of you having said that, right there, and all you have to do is scroll up.

You read again. I never once was talking about her specific whatever and I clarified as much, your refusal to accept that isn't my problem (well, aside from it being connected to your continuing to try and be a smug dick about something I never claimed and refuse to go away.)

I've invented no narratives. YOU did. You're the one who has ascribed meaning to my comments and refuse to accept the truth that I was talking about the phenomenon at large not some specific lady's claims.

No, and get checked for a gas leak. I told you there was no sky daddy in reference to REP LUNA and MAGA, which the PARENT COMMENT was about and thread was about - GOP lies. The govt officials pushing this that are GOP aren't trustworthy. "The government isn't denying it anymore," only SOME of them and it's people like Gaetz and Luna lol. The government part is key here lol.

But stick to your victim narrative, it's obviously helping you think clearly

Then reply to the parent, not the comment that says, literally "Now does she 'have proof' of any of that beyond what the pentagon has already admitted? Likely not, but someone probably does have some more info than we know, she just ain't in the club. "

Only SOME of them like The Pentagon not denying the tic tac video which is the literal thing I said. Jesus fucking christ you absolute muppet.

Your "incorrect smug dick" routine is annoying, but not much else. 0/10.
