Congress Says the Aliens are Coming

On the bright side, the extra-terrestrials are younger than our current representatives

In the latest distraction from our government doing anything at all to actually help Americans, Congress has a new shocking testimony from 36-year-old former intelligence officer-turned-whistleblower David Grusch. And the distraction is working.

But could it be true? Could our government actually be allowing a whistleblower to testify classified information in front of Congress? Could the CIA have suddenly changed their decades-long policy of throwing any truthful whistleblower in prison for years without trial? Who’s to say?

And while among Katie, Aaron, and Wilson opinions on the possibility of alien life vary drastically (recurring viewers may be able to guess who stands where), the veritability of this fun little distraction has the Useful Idiots in agreement.

But let us know in the comments: do you believe in the existence of extra-terrestrial life? And if so, is Mr. Grusch a real whistleblower or just a government prop?

Plus, Rep’s Marjorie Taylor Greene and Gerry Connolly fight out minor Ukraine funding changes on the House floor, and the White House tries harder than ever to make you look away from the building pile of evidence against Hunter Biden. If only there was something to distract you from that…

There’s a whole lot to throw down, and Katie and Aaron are warmed up. It’s our Thursday bonus episode. Let us know in the comments what corporate media monologues, interviews, or anything else you want to see on the next Thursday Throwdown.
