So we spent $800,000 (missed the first shot) to shoot down a $12 balloon on sight without knowing what it was about but allowed what we knew was a Chinese Spy Balloon to cross over waters off Alaska, the Alaskan tundra, parts of Canada and Montana all the way through S Carolina  (completing its mission) before taking it down. And some people think this is an example of a successful military/governmental action? Equal parts hilarious and sad.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!  "Completing its mission." I guess you didn't read the article stating that we knew exactly what the Chinese were doing with the spy balloon and tracked it accordingly the entire time.

Buffoon had a hell of a presser today. His eyes moved meticulously across the teleprompter and read the transcript just as it was written for him.
Unfortunately, exited promptly stage left upon the conclusion of his monologue, only to return to the podium, nervously laughed, and called a reporter, " Man, you're crazy." Not a good look or shining moment for the POTUS, hey?

I’ll sleep well regardless of what the government says, aina?  Unless the MS-13 caravan carrying Chinese spy balloons and books teaching CRT break into my house

BWAHAHAHA!! You believe everything these idiots who spent $800,000 to bring down a $12 Hobby project! You’re convinced people that stupid are way ahead of the Chinese on their balloons capabilities and mission. You can’t be that stupid….wait….you are!!!

That's the equivalent of our dottering president taking corn pop out back and teaching him a lesson.

If you think for one second that I am comparing the USA to China you have bumped your hard.

It didn't matter the tiniest bit what path Biden took, Faux News was going to declare it the wrong one and the dentists were going to gulp down the pravda and beg for more.

If only one could have known ahead of time this was how they would have reacted and how he would have been treated after speaking...

Biden is the first president to ever read off a teleprompter I see. Next you’re going to tell me he doesn’t even write his own speeches.

Always enjoyable when litigation forces the Faux crowd to produce their emails and we find out what they really think.

Just heard that an Illinois man tracked a mysterious balloon for 200 miles by car. Turned out to be bird sh*t on the windshield.

Not bad.   Feels like a 'Florida man' style joke, but I do appreciate the humor.
Luke 6:45   ...A good man produces goodness from the good in his heart; an evil man produces evil out of his store of evil.   Each man speaks from his heart's abundance...

It is better to be fearless and cheerful than cheerless and fearful.

If only he was driving a diesel F-150 !

He would’ve had 50 or  so more  mile in that tank ! Aina?

Couldn't have been me. The sight of a mysterious balloon sends me straight down to the bunker.
