trump junior tweeted out that those people in Montana should shoot the thing down. And never mind that it's several miles high. But when you consider that junior's dad suggested blasting hurricanes with nuclear weapons and injecting bleach to cure a virus, it makes perfect sense. After junior tweeted his stupid, both he and his idiot dad made several "perfect" phone calls. (A "perfect" call in trumpy land just means the correct number was called). I said shoot it down too. And of course I knew, like others that saying that did not mean to do it with your shotgun. It was shot down correctly. A lot later than it could have been. Much intelligence that was wanted by China was most likely radioed to them before the shoot down. But with the intelligent political party in charge now, better late than never.

I can't believe it wasn't shot down over Alaska. But I really can't believe they shut down some airports just because it passed over. I don't know what this one is at, but weather balloons typically fly at 60,000 feet. So why stop airplanes? It's not like commercial flights are national secrets. It's pathetic. Probably something to do with air to air missiles in the vicinity. 🤔🙄 My brother has been to Alaska. There is a lot of empty space in Alaska. Not many people live there. We could be digging in the snow and ice for its parts now instead of the ocean. But that controllable balloon just seemed to fly by everything it wanted to.

It’s not distracting us from the economy and the border. Nice try. It’s been noted this is a common occurrence. As the pentagon said a non threat. Strange how the mind of the low IQ PissPot works. First you whine,m and cry, that Biden should have shot the balloon down over Alaska, or even Canada, when it was not seen until it got to Montana. Now that it has been shown your cowardly lying gawd ignored the same balloons when they crossed over during his tenure everything is okay.
And later you will whine again about how Biden should have shot it down.
Pathetic little hypocrite you are.
Then too, your gawd is a "stable genius" like you.
You are a dumb ass. Here is a timeline of where the balloon was spotted in the U.S.: Jan. 28 The balloon entered U.S. airspace on Jan. 28 north of the Aleutian Islands in Alaska, according to a senior military official. Jan. 30 It then entered Canadian airspace over the Northwest Territories on Jan. 30, the senior military official said. Jan. 31 The balloon then traveled south and reentered U.S. airspace over northern Idaho on Jan. 31, according to a senior military official. Feb. 1 4:21 p.m. ET: One of the earliest sightings confirmed by ABC News was Wednesday in Reed Point, Montana. 6:46 p.m. ET: More than two hours later, it was filmed east of Reed Point, in Billings, Montana. Other footage captured it over Billings over the next hour, as civilians wondered what the object was. From Montana, the balloon traveled southeast through South Dakota and Nebraska, according to U.S. officials. Feb. 3 9:41 a.m. ET: Social media sightings popped up as the balloon moved southeastwardly across the continental U.S. ABC News confirmed another sighting of the balloon around 9:41 a.m. ET on Friday, when it was filmed over Sabetha, Kansas. 11 a.m. ET: Over an hour later, it appeared farther east over Saint Joseph, Missouri, where it was filmed. Between 11:56 a.m. and 12:28 p.m. ETL Video footage captured the balloon farther east, over Cameron, Missouri. About 30 minutes later: It was seen farther south within the Kansas City metro area, in Lee's Summit, Missouri. The balloon appeared to be heading toward North Carolina, according to a senior U.S. official familiar with the situation. I guess you missed your lesson.

Wow, real windy now. I think I will take the dogs for a ride. We can go for a walk, I bet we have the whole woods to ourselves today.

What Archie really needs is an intelligent balloon attached to his head.

Here's an interesting perspective on all the alleged "spy balloons" we're shooting down these days....

I think it was stupid to shoot it with a missile. Should have just used the guns. Also would have been cheaper. And I sure hope China doesn't have about ten thousand of these things ready to go. Hell, I bet half of them are different shades of blue.....be hard to spot.

I was just thinking that one of those rotary cannon that some of the Air Force planes have would be able to pretty much shred it to pieces. But I guess that a big bang is better than a bunch of little ones after all.

My goodness Go back a week and look at how many times the biden admin has changed its story. LOL.. Instead.. let's go back and look at how many times you thought that the Biden admin changed the story .. Wonder why ABC news is making the same argument as petep?
What are you missing?
Or is the flaw in petep's approach just ... paying attention to the news?

Thank you for posting this. Most often I don’t have the patience to respond to their comebacks. It’s as if they think we all get amnesia and forget how many times the biden Harris admin change their story. But I suppose ideologues and cultists will never concede a point. But this balloon thing has become a joke. And has highlighted the incompetence of the feds.

Turns out the last three shot down might all be recreational balloons...
