    You have definitely not seen the hearing and it is beyond weird that you’d pretend otherwise on the internet.

      I’m being very honest here when I say I want to be wrong. Can you tell me what to revisit? What seemed revelatory or important to you?

        The evidence and witness info provided have the committee members calling for a select committee with subpoena powers.

        When Grusch said “I can’t say that here” that was never going to be the end of that discussion

          That’s literally every house committee by default.

          That tells us a literally nothing other than he was unwilling to do it or unable because of a myriad of potential reasons.

          In that entire hearing those are literally the only two things that made you think this is credible?

            A select committee is not “every committee by default.” A select committee is a specific committee.

            Also you may want to revisit the last sentence of paragraph 1.

            And no, the entire hearing was credible.

            Frankly if it’s nothing, you don’t have to give a shit. The members of Congress think it’s something, and I agree with them.

              The members of Congress who participated in this should be embarrassed they paraded this nonsense around. Nothing new was learned. I promise you we have heard nothing of value and we won’t later. If there is real info about it this is not the pipeline that information is flowing down.

                Ohhh you wanna bet? What can we bet?

                Loser posts a pic of them eating a pie! We can call it a “humble pie” bet.

                Does Lemmy have remindmebot?

                Fair warning tho: I’ll consider “Congress uncovers public/private embezzlement scheme” as a win too.

                  I’d believe that over Grusch having anything meaningful to say about aliens.
