  He waited until it was over the ocean so it wouldn't fall on people? And the ones wanting to shoot it down were the ones living beneath it supposedly shooting handguns, Imagine wanting a balloon to fall on you to own the libs
context: CNN is reporting that Biden gave the order on Wednesday to shoot it down as soon as it could be done safely. >
  
  What if it had some kind of bomb or chemicals they didn’t want to shoot it down over civilians >
  
  It's also the fact that it's still a balloon with a bunch of stuff attached to it at 60,000 ft, that falling to Earth is going to cause a pretty significant impact. I can't imagine at that height it make much of a difference, but maybe the water would damage it less so we can analyze it? Although at that height again I'm assuming that water is essentially as hard as concrete so who knows >
  
  Article said debris field was 4 nautical miles. Hard to not hit anyone on the ground within a 4 mile radius >
  
  I mean… Wyoming is a place >
  
  Is it, though? >
  
  Ya, been there. It's just open space and wind. Constant wind. >
  
  I thought it was a state of mind >
  
  I don’t know. Maybe it was Utah. >
  
  White smoke means new Pope right? >
  
  No, it means the GQP will complain that Biden shot it down.  
  Also, they would complain if he didn’t shoot it down. 
  Also, fuck them… >
  
  I am think in this case the complaint will be why did it take him so long. >
  
  They waited until it was over the water, like they said they would do multiple times. They closed the air space and made sure there were no boats. Ya know, responsibly >
  
  And it was the advice of the military to wait to shoot it down.
  Can’t wait to see how republicans spin this into “Biden is old and weak and won’t even let our military do its job when America is threatened” when he was actually taking the expert advice FROM THE MILITARY to wait. >
  
  Dude listens to his advisors and he surrounds himself w qualified ppl.  Part of the reason why Ukraine is still Ukraine and not Russia. >
  
  To be fair, the Russian military sucks. Ukrainian farmers were stealing Russian tanks before they got our weapons. >
  
  Yeah, other part is Ukrainians giving their all to protect their homeland. >
  
  No better motivation than survival. >
  
  While I agree.....I have no clue how that aides in solving the issue at hand. A communist country flying spy balloons over the country, regardless of who is president, is bad. I think it is perfectly logical to question the motives of both gentlemen....since the evidence seems to support that they are both corrupt, greedy whores. It's OK to say it. >
  
  The GOP gave Biden a fucking layup here.
  “Biden doesn’t have the BALLS to shoot it down! Trump would have shot it down because he’s a REAL man!”
  Lmao okay well Biden shot it down so you can shut the fuck up now >
  
  Except now they’re saying he waited too long. 🙄
