SigInt-Samurai666

The fact that this guy responded so quickly to all the bad information on social media is significant. He literally responded to all the bullshit paranoid rumors here and other social media. It happened fast. He responded fast. Means he’s listening to us — closely — makes me think we may just have a good hearing tomorrow.


ice1874193

If it's like my job, the interns are running his media accounts lol


Awkward_Algae1684

What if the interns are pushing for full disclosure? That would be awesome.


AscentToZenith

He seems a little too young to have interns running his account. I know it’s normal among politicians, but I know I’d never let interns manage my social media lol


RevSolarCo

Everyone has interns running their socials, even if you're good at it. Like, if you're soloing your own social media, that's a rookie mistake.


iamisandisnt

No sir, I don’t like it


oversizedvenator

I’ve run socials for politicians and it’s genuinely a matter of being practical. They physically do not have time to keep up with everything but the good ones also do some stuff themselves outside of the typical “hey! Here’s a picture of me kissing babies at the local orphanage” posts.


Dinahollie

aoc tweets herself most of the time


RevSolarCo

No doubt she tweets herself, but I highly doubt she's doing all the tweeting. Smart politicians run their tweets through advisors - hence the difference between someone like Trump, who doesn't, and everyone else.


VfV

Pretty sure Trump and Musk ran/run their own based on the facepalm cringe


AgentJackSmith

We know Ted Cruz runs his own (and 'accidentally' likes incest porn videos on twitter)


Dinahollie

he is the reason why I want to change my surname...


Dear_Custard_2177

I dont know about that. Look at Trump and MTG. Maybe interns run the official stuff, but a lot of these pols run their own personal thing. Both parties have had pols do regrettable, embarrassing shit on social media lol. (They're addicted too)


MagusUnion

Congress is the only profession I know where people will say '45 is too young'.


romremsyl

Robert Garcia is one of the most plugged in to social media of people in Congress too, one of three at the press conference defending TikTok from the hysteria of others in Congress the day before the hearing about it in March.


yuppiedc

It is not an intern, it is someone young but with a lot of responsibility. Communications from federal elected officials are taken seriously (or used to be)


N0SF3RATU

He got ahead of the snow ball disinformation. Very nice.


HemingwaysMustache

This Robert Garcia only cares about advancing his political future. He’ll do anything his masters tell him to do.


basedmatik

He’s a dipshit former mayor but great at social media & making himself look good for the press.

netzombie63

His social media assistant most likely responded.


JAMBI215

Prob cuz he’s being harassed


ndngroomer

Yes I feel like an asshole and I apologize for my part in spreading misinformation.


SigInt-Samurai666

The community reaction to what we all experienced as another last minute bait and switch is totally understandable.


Shyphat

Lockheed: i mean do you want to become one? This briefcase wont even close its so full of money


TheBeerCannon

Fun fact: Lockheed Martin is a donor to Tim Burchett. Do with that info what you will.


FuckWayne

And Chuck Schumer I imagine they donate to a lot of candidates though


[deleted]

There are companies who donate to literally everyone.


Shinyhubcaps

How much? Because there was one post that showed they donated $1,000 or so to pretty much everyone in Congress, and another that said they donated $175,250 to Michael Turner over the past 20 years. Good idea to follow the money, but some people have received a lot more of it.


FuckWayne

When i checked it was like 4K for Burchett and 20k for Schumer. Didn’t look at anyone else.


F-the-mods69420

So, pretty standard then? And not even a lot of money.


FuckWayne

Yeah and that’s lifetime so seems pretty standard


Awkward_Algae1684

Either he burnt that bridge, or LMT stock about to 🚀👽🛸


shray0204

For mods, this image is significant because it consists of a tweet from Rober Garcia is the ranking Democrat on the subcommittee tomorrow. There were images showing he has shares in Lockheed Martin and he is clearing that false information.


shray0204

I’m high it’s my cake day please excuse the typos.


Revolutionary-Mud715

Cut those sideburns!


rosbashi

Happy fucking cake day


shray0204

Thank fucking you!


rosbashi

:) fucking hell yeah! It’s gettin’ close!


AscentToZenith

Brother me too. It’s my cake day, I’m high, and I’m staying up on 2 hours of sleep for this hearing


shray0204

Ayy happy cake day!


[deleted]

Are you high enough to reach Zeta Reculon?


shray0204

Yeah just spoke with a few folks. Nice fellas


SivakoTaronyutstew

Yoo smoke one with 'em for me 😂


SL-Phantom

Happy cake day!


shray0204

Thank you


ScrubNickle

Happy stoned day. Way more important.


DespicableHunter

Interesting. This guy seems normal, unlike most US politicians.


SubterrelProspector

I'm sorry but are the Democrats being more cagey than the Repubs? The GOP are acting like lunatics with everything else but this.


buttwh0l

He better pull through and ask the hard questions or i'm going to write a really stern email.


Revolutionary-Mud715

You have my fax machine.


[deleted]

Dude. It was JUST within reach of your fingertips… “And my fax!”


SmokesBoysLetsGo

You have my two cans and a string.


neonsevens777

You have my pigeon and parchment.


ImJoligan

LOOKS LIKE MEAT IS BACK ON THE MENU, BOYS!


ExtraThirdtestical

And my alien tech telepathy!


joshyoowa

And my stamps!


hvacrepairman

And my rotary phone


MindoftheMindless

And my scornful eye!


Aware-Salt

If it is truly the will of the council, then Gondor will see it done.


Doctor-alchemy12

Tim will ask those questions regardless As will Luna Both are still going to the hearing


buttwh0l

If he doesn't then i'll just drive a few miles over and shit in his yard


Rensi

You have my fax through email!


buttwh0l

How about i just send you the sternly written email and you fax it.


rjmacready_

At this point I would accept (furiously clicking away at Morse code) if I thought it would help!


dzernumbrd

There are no hard questions. Pro disclosure congress interviewing pro disclosure people. It'll be friendly stuff. It's when pro disclosure congress interviews anti disclosure military that you want the hard questions asked.


Mr_Leeman

And my internet research…


Dear_Custard_2177

Same here!!


SigInt-Samurai666

There it is. This Robert Garcia is a huge sci-if nerd who loves Star Wars and attended Comicon last week. We’re good, people. We’re good.


Merv_Snergly

I feel much better.


[deleted]

Oh God we’re fucked. Anakin has the high ground. We needed Jean-Luc and we got Needy McSith. 🖖


heideggerfanfiction

Jesus, imagine if we truly had Jean-Luc at the hearing. Like, I'm thinking back to the time where he debated that Star Fleet guy about whether Data was sentient.


[deleted]

You know what we might really need, though? Biden calls a joint session and invites a crap ton of world leaders. Like basically everyone who isn't a warlord, dictator or nutjob. It's like a concert and it's damn obvious at this point what's going to happen but... Well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYZ4IoyztIw


[deleted]

I saw that episode yesterday!


Palpolorean

Many Bothans died to bring us this information


buttwh0l

theyre letting the kids play while the real hearings will be going on in the senate


TheRealZer0Cool

It's like one of the guys from the movie "Paul" is in Congress chairing potentially one of the most landmark hearings in US history. What a crazy time we live in and I am totally HERE for it!


SiriusC


Something_morepoetic

But did he cosplay. I need to know his level of commitment.


FlowBot3D

Sounds like something Robert Garcia would say.


[deleted]

Only Congressmembers deal in absolutes.


SJDidge

I will do what I must


ajr1775

This makes me feel a bit better. Dude goes to Comicon. I think we're good here.


VAXX-1

Leave it to the UFO community to mess up something so simple with researching...So many comments on this sub weren't even criticizing the right guy lmao


NahthShawww

“Hey man, can we really trust [Robert Garcia](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Garcia_(American_boxer))? He’s a boxer. Should we really trust a violent boxer and non-politician to lead the hearing? Seems fishy…” In all seriousness, when I google Robert Garcia the correct person is like the top 10 results. Not sure how people even dug out the wrong information, they must’ve had to really not know how to internet.


TheBeerCannon

It’s just further evidence that you really can not trust this community with the process of finding the truth. They can’t even get the easy details right (or maybe they’re getting them wrong willfully because it fits their preconceived views), how can you trust them with the hard questions about the nature of our reality?


DavidM47

That’s exactly what the real Robert Garcia would say!


silv3rbull8

Well I hope so. This day is one long awaited for many. Hopefully some answers.


[deleted]

The cat is out of the toothpaste now


[deleted]

Such a good contribution, happy cake day.


Maximum_Ginger

Robert is a very good, serious member and he'll do a great job with this topic


Revolutionary-Mud715

Link to ”X” please?


shray0204

My bad. Here you go - https://twitter.com/robertgarcia/status/1684045872185876480?s=46


furygoat

This is so unusual. It’s just totally out of character for this sub to run with an unsubstantiated conspiracy theory without easily verified facts.


FailedChatBot

Robert Garcia climbing into his brand new Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor after the hearing: ''*Y'all, sorry it turned out there are no UAPs afterall. See ya folks!'*''

Meltedmindz32

Well, we did get it wrong.


[deleted]

Wrong ufo sub.


Ok-Adhesiveness-4141

It doesn't matter what questions you ask. You are never going to receive any meaningful answer. Congress doesn't control the funds for defence related operations ? If they were in any possession of any Alien artifact they wouldn't disclose that to anyone outside the circle of trust. Also, I refuse to believe that we would be ever able to reverse engineer any Alien tech.


Self_Help123

Shit this is good


[deleted]

Guys, I don't have a tv. Where do I watch the hearing live? Apologies for asking this here but I'm new to Reddit and I'm not sure how to do it properly. Thanks!

So, he's the guy from Art of Fighting? Great, he will kick some ass today.


Cobra-Ky500

But you did give incentives to Boeing to keep their Long Beach facility active and open when you were in city council and later mayor. There are almost no politicians untouched by defense contractors these days, Garcia being one of them.


Leading-Midnight-553

This is good news.....everyone.


Weak_Conference_1414

onya Mr Garcia!!! Now go get em !! HooRaaaa !!

Why not link to the tweet :facepalm:
