Nor I, nor have I forgotten Ivanka’s gmails, which, after alllll the bullshit around Hillary’s emails, Ivanka damn well knew what she was doing was probably illegal. And in light of the hundreds of stolen classified documents that her former boss stole and obstructed the return of, Ivanka’s emails should be seriously investigated.
Conservatives in today's Daily Mail comment section: "That was just China doing a trial run. They were waiting until a weaker president was in office to send a proper balloon all the way over the US." Utter, utter morons. So by their own logic, the "trial run" with Trump told them that America would do jack shit about spy balloons. Do they have even the slightest inkling of how stupid they are? >

The Daily Mail is such a joke. >

Unfortunately it's the most widely read conservative newspaper in the world. People need to understand that it's every bit as damaging as Fox News. >

There will always be a news ‘org’ for bigots. >

Republicans said nothing when it happened under Trump, but now they're pretending to be outraged. >

I don't think they noticed and I don't think they noticed when the same thing happened earlier during the Biden term.
They have access to classified intelligence briefings (at least the leaders do) so they have no excuse for not knowing how nonserious all five incidents were. >

It's still a serious incident but not because of anything Biden did.  It's serious because China violated our airspace. >

I mean, I guess, but I just can't bring myself to be scared of a balloon.  What is this?  1865?  It's not like there's a bomb in there.  Chinese tech is not a danger to anyone.
China sucks and all.  They put people in camps and torcher and kill them.  I'm just not scared of their "air force." >

Japan tried a trick with balloons on WWII. Didn't work, only a few people died (after stumbling upon them after the war sadly), but with 21st century tech it may be as feasible as any other disposable drone aircraft to bomb the US. Imagine 1,000 balloons at once with small guided bombs. Imagine the utility if during a war, China and the US darken the skies and shoot down all the satellites in orbit. >

You're kidding right?  a squadron of F-22s would love to shoot down 100,000 balloons.  It would be like a video game for them.  
They probably train for it.  They certainly made short work of the first one. >

I mean there is a reason those f-22’s waited till it was over the coast. 
Yes it is plausible to put things like gases or bombs in something like that in hops people shot it down for it to cause more damage…. Which is clearly what the military also came to that conclusion because they waited to shoot it down. 
Meanwhile I see so many people acting like they are military experts all the sudden. I’m not one I’m just thinking critically and everything adds up. 
If what you are saying adds up those f-22’s would have handled that balloon before it was a viral internet craze. >

Well they let the other ones just float by so it doesn't seem too dangerous. >

well ‘they’ was a different administration >

None got shot down probably because Ivanka needed those trademarks >

How many people have forgotten about those trademarks? >

not me.
