Still too much power for her.

Spoiler alert! I was planning to read the article but now you ruined the suspense for me. I prefer articles to be a thrilling mystery. >

The only mystery to be had is discovering whether or not the article is paywalled, ad-spammed or full of partisan clickbait.
Reddit comments are just a (often times partisan) filter. >

As a rule, I try and read articles before commenting. Newsweek is one of the exceptions to that rule. For one, the site is awful. They also don't do fact-checking and play a little fast and lose with what is "news" >

ya, I remember an article a while back about a "Jewish man who survived the holocaust and explains watching the rise of Hitler". The man was born in PA,.. in 1939.... Never saw Europe during that period, obviously missed the entire rise of Hitler... .. but he was Jewish and survived the holocaust... so atleast Newsweek got that right. >

I’m a Jewish American who was born in 1965 and watched a show about the rise of Hitler on TV.
I’m here, Newsweek. Let’s do this. >

I’m a Korean man who read a Reddit post one time, I think I got this >

But the Maga assholes just yesterday told us, China would have never sent a balloon under Trump? >

Man, the ignorant pro trumps at my work all claim that Trump shot all the balloons down as soon as they were discovered and I had to explain to them that to perform such an action would reveal sensitive defense information for no useful reason, but they only see the act of invasion as weakness and violence as brave. Of course they ignore reality in order to continue their narrative. >

The dumb MAGAs of my locale are simply claiming it never happened. >

I know reading is hard for you guys but did you even read the article?
"Every day as a NORAD commander, it's my responsibility to detect threats to North America. I will tell you that we did not detect those threats," he added, stating that intelligence agencies were able to identify them post hoc "from additional means." >

Let me guess: donnie dipshit “doesn’t take responsibility at all.” >

From the article:
"Every day as a NORAD commander, it's my responsibility to detect threats to North America. I will tell you that we did not detect those threats," he added, stating that intelligence agencies were able to identify them post hoc "from additional means." >

So, NORAD is now more capable under Biden than under Trump? Good on Biden for getting that accomplished. >

I guess my being a little facetious was lost on some now deleted replies.
I don't think the fact that it was allowed to drift over the country until it was over the ocean before it was shot down is the scary part. This 200+ foot tall balloon carrying a payload that weighed a couple of thousand pounds went undetected multiple times in the past by one of, if not the most, advanced surveillance systems in the world is the scary part to me.

I mean WTF, they can track Santa but not a Chinese weather balloon? >

Can we stop pretending this guy was even a bit presidential?  What a dark period in American history >

We're still in it, today we've got MTG presiding over Congress! >

One chamber of Congress that can't pass laws by itself, as a token gesture. Settle down, Beavis.
