    there’s no reason for Americans to panic.

    “Professor, without knowing precisely what the danger is, would you say it’s time for our viewers to crack each other’s heads open… and feast on the goo inside?”

    “Yes, I would, Kent.”

    Two sources familiar with the issue said Turner’s statement was related to Russia and operations in space, without providing further details on what was described as a highly-classified matter.

    Maybe they finally found the Moon Nazis from Iron Sky

    There’s a serious National Security threat, all right. It’s currently leading the race for the Republican Presidential Nomination.

    Oh, I know what the threat to America is! It’s everybody with an R next to their name in our government. They say that the R stands for republican, but it really means Russian.

      Uhhhm, the article was mostly Republican congressmen urging the President to declassify the briefings and they all said the threat originates from Russia. So this is one of those rare times where Republicans seem to be genuine in their concern

        Never, ever, ever assume a Republican is being genuine in any way, for any reason, at any time, especially when it is regarding Russia.

        One of two things is happening; Putin has either told them what to say in an effort to stir up some nonsense controversy, or he has lied to them about something to make them useful idiots.

      Yeah, why not. This season is getting kind of humdrum. Let’s throw some space aliens in.
