How am I bending reality? I happen to believe that China is our greatest threat as country and think this was a big deal. As I mentioned, CNN has spent a lot of time on the balloon and possibly it is a bigger deal than some on here believe.

Cable news covers a controversial story to create viewership? 

Color me shocked!

I hope the Mopes are upset by the waste of money and risking casualties by shooting down the weather balloon.

It really is surprising that the media is covering such a non event.

They waited until it was over the ocean to shoot it down, doofus.

So, just to be clear, do you think this was an event or a non event?

Non event.  As I mentioned earlier in the thread these type of things happen all the time.  Civilians spotted the balloon and media picked up on it. 

The US military doesn't tell us every time they're tested.

Not trying to be argumentative, but I just heard on CNN that Biden wanted to shot it down on Wednesday. Why would he have wanted to do that?

I believe the national security knew of the balloon over 48 hours before “civilians “ spotted the balloon.

Because that's when it became political.  He was afraid of exactly what happened.  Free agitprop for the GOP.

Oh, also, Biden is a dumbass.  His only strength is that he does have the ability to acknowledge this and listen to experts.

I'm confused Goose.  There are reports he gave the go ahead to shoot it down on Wednesday?  What on earth is going on here?

Do you ever watch Tucker Carlson.  Because I already know the answer.  You've admitted as much.

The outrage from the right wing lunatics is precisely what you're saying.  They were handed the talking points, and you're simply regurgitating them.


I almost never watch Tucker. You obviously are one of his regulars.

Susan Collins was just quoted saying almost verbatim what I said earlier. While she is a Republican, she’s also elected in Maine. Referring to her as a right wing lunatic is something only your basic, every day, run of the mill lunatic would do. Congrats.

Ask the experts on here. There are plenty of guys that are national security experts.

I’m with you and confused why the POTUS wanted to shoot down a weather balloon. Thankfully, national security did not allow Biden to create a national disaster or international incident.

So, do you dismiss China as a threat to the USA?
