The no vote is me. Real talk is that if we were shooting it down we should have shot it down over Montana, it wouldn't have hit jack crap. If we're being real real, they should have shot it down when it crossed into our airspace off the Pacific coast, the government knew it was there.

Same.  Shoot that rough rider down.

Surprised some patriot didn’t shoot that sucker down tbh.
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

Are all the first world nations out there just floating balloons everywhere in the name of science?  If this is the case and we have all previously agreed to this and allowed this, then I think we should have let it alone.  If not, that thing should have been shot down as soon as it crossed into our boarders.

The Biden's DOD waiting until they were  :blush: :blush: :blush: to foist the "it happened under Trump" spiel on us is just 1000% on brand.   :thumbsup:

So far it's
Answers -
1.  Balloon's came close while Trump was in office
2.  Balloon's sorta kinda crossed into the U.S. while Trump was in office
3.  Balloon's crossed the U.S. while Trump was in office

But Pubs are hypocrites . . . because of something that they didn't know about until a hot minute ago.  I mean  :lol: :lol:

So in the last 6 years that's approximately $5.7 trillion in defense expenditures and apparently Chinese balloons can come and go as they please.  Oh wait, we'll shoot them down after we're sufficiently  :blush: :blush:

1. I've already recognized that multiple times (I know #blueanongE who is absolute  :Yuck: at reading comprehension will purposely miss that)

2. If you actually think they're going to come right out and say that it was laced with sophisticated sensors etc. etc. and we let it cross the entire country, then just  :lol: :lol: :lol: at  you

VanHerck is also quoted as saying they never detected any Chinese balloons while Trump was in office, and apparently they were just invisible.  Nobody saw them, nobody on the ground, nobody flying in airplanes.

Chinese Cloaking Capable Balloons . . . Mr. President we cannot allow a Chinese Cloaking Balloon Gap!

As I see more videos it’s just amazing to think about the apologist simps who bought and repeatedly parroted the debris field narrative. Like they were bringing down a 747 traveling at 550 knots.

The DOD allegedly knew about the balloon for days, they allegedly didn't tell Biden until Montana citizen reported it.  Allegedly it's  happened before, and allegedly the DOD didn't tell anybody about those times, and now the story is that system was transmitting data back to China.

It just seems super weird that hyper conspiratorial #blueanon/#blueanonneocon who was convinced (via the Clinton campaign and Vlad Putin's favorite oligarch through a 3rd party foreign intel asset) that Vlad Putin installed Don Trump.  The same group that wants to bomb the bejezzus belt out of the Russians and many points in between. 

Is pretty calm cool and collected in the face of a trillion dollar military complex that's presenting to the Chinese and apparently not wanting to tell anybody about it unless they absolutely have to (while knowing the CJOS was having back channel conversation with the Chinese on his own accord). 

#blueanon:  Losing their crap over lunatic conspiracies, wanting to bomb the world . . . fairly quiet about the factual spying of the Chinese Communists as assisted by the U.S. DOD.  #onbrand  :thumbsup:
