He asked if you considered Chuck Schumer to be "batshit crazy", not whether Chuck Schumer loves media attention. I think we can all agree that most politicians love media attention, and Chuck Schumer is certainly one of them.
Are you going to dismiss every piece of legislation Chuck Schumer puts his name on simply because he loves media attention?
If you actually read about this it really has nothing to do with aliens and everything to do with black money and aerial safety for our pilots. It's crazy that finally when we a bipartisan problem everyone freaks out about that instead of the actually issue it wants to address
Where in the legislation does it say 'alien'?
You could just not pay attention to this issue? We are here to discuss it. Calling people "crazy" isn't really persuasive.
You could present an argument that they don't really believe and of this, for example.
In Schumer's case, his mentor was "batshit crazy" Harry Reid, who was in favour of researching the phenomenon and he is basically carrying on this legacy. I don't think he would do that if he didn't believe there was something there. Aliens? Maybe. Let's do actual scientific research and find out?
Lol ok
I'm sorry if I'm replying to the wrong comment, but I'm just going to respond to this most recent one.
Chuck Schumer was originally mentioned because in your initial comment, it seemed as though you were only linking 'crazy' Republicans to the topic. We were pointing out that this is the most bipartisan issue to date.
I'm not sure what there is to defend on our end. Are you implying that anyone who believes E.T. is behind UAP is crazy? Do you have a specific reason for thinking that those who believe in this hypothesis are irrational? It's just one of many hypotheses, and perhaps not even the most 'crazy' one by your definition.
Have you checked any links in the sidebar such as uap.guide and some of the cases listed here? I'm curious as to what you think is behind the Phenomenon?
Edit: Corrected some punctuation.
Edit edit: A more comprehensive post that lays out a lot of cases for skeptics such as yourself to look at.
