Wow, what a massive POS, and misusing "UFO" to boot. Yeah, everyone has seen something flying that they couldn't identify at some point or another. "UFO" does not automatically mean "extraterrestrial spacecraft."
Yeah that analogy is a pretty shitty one. There are legitimate reasons to be skeptical about UFOs/UAPs/Flying Saucers, or whatever you want to call them, even if I do not believe in batshit crazy conspiracies related to them. There are no reasons to believe that Santa Claus or the Tooth Fairy can be real, that is just folklore.
Shocking that someone like him, would do such a ill-conceived analogy, even if anyone considers that in modern society, alien shit can be considered folklore, it is still very much within the realm of possibility.
It really was notable. I agree with another commenter who said King's substance abuse past seems to be catching up with him. He sounds like a snarky right-wing asshole, and he used to be better than that.
What claim is he even trying to make here? "Everyone knows someone who's seen [the Epstein files]"? Nobody's seen them, and nobody knows anyone who has, and that's the whole issue.
He's acting strangely compared to the way he's been in the past. Did he have a Fetterman stroke or something?
He's a former coke addict and an alcoholic. That shit really catches up with you as you age. My father was a cocaine addict and drunk for decades before he cleaned up. He's already had multiple strokes, a double bypass, and a severe bladder infection and he's barely cracked 60. Conversations with him are hard because the strokes left him with difficulties formulating a sentence let alone holding a coherent opinion on any topic deeper than the weather.
I know he's had substance abuse issues in the past, and that does make a lot of sense. It's sad.
Yeah... All dude had to say was, "Yeah, I meant of course that a literal list of clients with the big fat title "Client List" doesn't exist." Instead he doubles down? Why is everyone suddenly just a balls to the wall massive troll and douche? Man, fuck these people so hard they can never rape children or protect those that do again.
