You're just now figuring out that Dr Oz is grossly incompetent‽

Do you think Trump ever appoints competent people‽ He picks people based on loyalty and how much they appear on TV!

Yet another really good reason to work from home.

old timey propaganda poster similar to the "when you ride alone you ride with hitler" poster except it says "when you work in the office you work for Iran. Work from home today!"

If Oracle was on the list, they'd tell their employees to come into the office anyway.

If extraterrestrial, sapient alien life has been discovered here on Earth by the US government it was probably uncovered via signals intelligence gathering. Not via any sort of physical interaction or visual observation.

Everyone thinks that to find aliens you need to search the skies, looking for visual evidence or radio patterns. No one bothers to think that a mass surveillance network across the globe would pick it up first—from local sources. Meaning: They're already here and could have been for hundreds of thousands of years (or longer).

There's probably an autonomous alien monitoring station broadcasting information about Earth on the regular. Probably more than one.

Exactly the type of thing that would be investigated by signals intelligence analysts who spend their days trying to figure out, "WTF was that?" Looking at data gathered from all over the world (for spying reasons).

That's why Obama would laugh at the question of, "where are the aliens?" Because he wouldn't know! He'd just know that they're here... Somewhere. Probably just super advanced machines, connected to a quantum-level universe-wide network.

The real question to ask is, "are they enjoying our memes?"

Where I come from we call these, "up only" stairs. Kind of like how Perl is a write-only language.

The conspicuously missing area under the oval office is the president's evacuation/bomb shelter area with underground connections to the various tunnels used by the Secret Service to move around in secret (or just in a hurry).

Supposedly the tunnels under there connect pretty damned far. It's like... The forbidden tour haha.

If Massachusetts declares that parents strict adherence to Catholicism constitutes child abuse... They're not wrong.
