Speak for yourself. You haven't said anything good about Biden since I started reading your posts. [ad hominem removed]

I have, but to be honest, there's not a lot of great things to say about him. He would have been a much better president in a time of peace and prosperity, and probably when he was 12 years younger.

I'm not interested in throwing poo with you. I'm hear for reasoned discussion. There are other posters here who might accomodate you.

you guys were stamping your feet that the border was closed during Trump...it wasn't.

I never said that

in fact, I've said repeatedly that if Democrats would have let Trump, he'd have tried to seal the border but every week Democrats put new lawsuits and road blocks to anything Trump did

Democrats LOVE illegals, they desperately want that cheap, unskilled, uneducated work force so they can have their cheap veggies and landscape workers

Biden finally understands national security a bit and the USA is now showing strength in defending our air space - doesn't make us forget how weak he's already been that's for sure though
 
"Defending" air space against what, exactly? A deadly balloon?

He wants to diss Biden so badly, he's throwing everything but the kitchen sink against the wall hoping something will stick. It's so pathetic and obvious.

Indeed. He has retreated to Tucker Carlson mode.

"I'm just asking questions. So why did Biden have to order the shootdwn? Could it that he didn't, and Biden is actually dead and Obama is wearing a Biden mask? I'm just asking. "

I believe it's from foreign surveillance. Unless you would like to propose a different reason they sent balloons over foreign countries. Just a hobby? To drop valentines on the foreigners they love?

Ah, the foreign surveillance that China has been undertaking using sophisticated satellite technology since 1974, and you're concerned about a balloon?

No. Because their satellites are not sophisticated. I covered that.

Once it crosses our borders without permission, it's our balloon. And we choose to pop them.

And naturally, with your extensive knowledge of satellite and computer surveillance technology, you have examined them to establish how unsophisticated they are. I'm so relieved.

No, you confuse yourself. Of the two of us, only one of us has deluded himself into thinking he has outsmarted the US military. That would be you. I defer to experts and what they have to say.

So, since everyone is lying, and we are blessed to have you here to tell us what's what...

What are the balloons? Hobby gone astray? Candygrams? Let's hear it.
 
How about weather balloons, maybe? You don't know, I don't know, and the government will tell you whatever they want you to hear anyway.

Haha, you are trying to rig the game. So you are saying none of us will ever know. Unless the mitary confirms your fetish narrative and says "weather balloon". THEN they are to be trusted. Othwrwise: lying.

What a luxury it must be to live in an alternate reality where you are always right.

And if turns out to be simply a weather balloon, how embarrassing would that be, given all the naughty spy rhetoric being thrown around.

We won't care, really. Certainly won't be embarrassed.

No, it's what the governments of Canada and the US told us. Duh. I don't think you understand how media works.

I understand how propaganda works, and this has been an ideal opportunity to paint China in the worst light possible. Neither you nor anyone unconnected with this will ever know exactly what the balloon carried. But to condemn it out of hand because a government which has routinely supplied you with misinformation and blatant lies is informing you that it had nefarious intent? You trust them to be honest? Remember Saddam's 'WMD' pretext for invading Iraq? Found any yet? The government assured you he had them almost every night on the TV news.
