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.

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.”

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.
