Congressman warns about undersea "entities"

[misanthrope]

Did Congressman Tim Burchett (R-TN) really say this? All I see referenced is a video making the rounds on social media and in this current era of technology, I'm unsure how well we can trust that.

"What if, these are entities that are here on this earth, that have been on this earth for who knows how long, and we think they're coming from way out," he says while strolling along the streets of DC, the Capital rotunda glowing in the distance. "Maybe they did a millennia ago, but they're here, and they're in these deep water areas."

"Like we say, we know more about the face of the Moon than we know what's going on there [the ocean]," Burchett continues. "We have a higher propensity of sightings around these five or six — I believe — deep water areas. It creates a question there."

I am thinking a certain U.S. Representative has been out in the sun too long.

4. Cthulhu?

[Coldwater]

17. Correct

The deep ones are ocean dwelling humanoids or human/alien hybrids who live under the sea and worship a deity named 'Dagon' of the Cthulhu mythos.

Either that or the congressmen is in need of immediate psychiatric help

8. I'm so tired of having dumbshits whose reasoning goes like "I don't understand something,

therefore it must be XYZ/have ABC characteristics" in charge of important stuff. So very, very tired of that.

9. He's from my state of Tennessee. Not the brightest bulb.

Multi-maga.

11. Recommended.

A little context may be important here. While I am not suggesting -- nor do I believe -- that Burchett is as intelligent as the average garden slug, he was referencing information provided by "experts" at a recent congressional task force meeting on UFOs.

[misanthrope]

35. And?

And he jumped to the conclusion there are entities living under the ocean, including allusions to mysterious intelligences?

[H2O Man]

36. Good question.

I hesitate to venture a guess, as he is a pathological liar.

[Lovie777]

12. 1955 - "It came from beneath the sea"....................................

[Buns_of_Fire]

15. Or "The Creature from the Black Lagoon" (1954)

Can't discriminate against fresh-water entities.

Maybe he's thinking of an amorphous blob that absorbs everything around it. Oh, wait, we already have one of those in the White House.

22. GMTA. The guy's been watching 2a.m. creature-features when he should be watching for tweets...

…from his greasy orange god.

[Duncan Grant]

13. I'm telling you, it's Santa Claus - and he has an army.

It’s the only logical explanation.

14. I suspect this is beneath the seeming craziness.
