Maybe you missed it. He's running again.

So is Biden. Although he has no idea if he is.

Oh my God, they even kept those spy balloons during the Trump administration secret from the Chinese government. That's top secret, man.

Didn't know about Esper denying knowledge. Interesting.
Guess the Defense Department just made shit up in their press release.

On the other hand, if the military didn't see the need to shoot it down until over international waters, and then have it land is relatively shallow (47 feet) waters off the coast of South Carolina...I think that might turn out to be a good move. Can recover valuable intelligence through whatever equipment they salvage. Could have lost that if it crashed into the land.

What’s. “interesting” is that, per usual, Paul only researches the side of the story that fits his “gain points” attempt rather than researching further/waiting for more info to come out. He “didn’t know” about Esper’s denial. And, yeah. I think the DoD makes shit up all the time. It’s clearly established that entrenched government departments are biased against Trump and also cover up crap all the time with the help of a willing press. Why do you think it took two months for it to be released that classified documents were found related to Biden.
Believing what the government tells you all the time sure does sound like the brainwashing that happens in oppressive, regimes.
By the way. There are nuclear silos all over Montana, and that balloon had free rein flying over it. That data was transmitted. Makes no difference now if anything is discovered in the balloon wreckage. That ship sailed.
Would have been a good idea to catch it early?

Like I said a couple of days ago, somehow this is going to be about Trump. So predictable.

This Trump thing is all over the board. From Trumps administration didn’t find out about the 3 balloons until after he left to where those balloons actually flew. Gives you a great confidence in our government/pentagon! Good grief, help us all.

I hope I don’t die before I get old, (thank you God so far, blessing).

No one owes anything but big pile of shit.

What are you going to other than throwing shade…And a huge pile of shit.

Edit: I’m leaving this as it is.

Be better.

I still believe in Muskie men.

That wasn't directed at you Eggs.

I didn't see Esper's comment, and I don't believe it was up when I first posted.
I agree that the government often is evasive, but not sure they are particularly biased against Trump. That's your take.
But looking at his behavior, I can imagine that some of the departments might be. If you're in the Armed Services and he calls you "losers" (and you think you're honorable defending our country), you might be biased against him...especially since he was suppose to be your commander-in-chief.

Meanwhile, this Republican guys says the DOD briefed them on earlier balloon instances under Trump. So maybe you'll believe him that they happened.

Rep. Michael Waltz (R-Fla.), a member of the House Armed Services Committee, said in an interview that defense officials identified the locations in a discussion with lawmakers and staff on Saturday, disclosing for the first time that similar surveillance balloons had been spotted in U.S. airspace near the continental United States before.

Then again, maybe he's a deep-state planted actor in the Republican party. Who knows.

“Near the Continental US” not over the continental US- for 6 days.
Kind of a big difference me thinks.
Nice attempt at cute language again and all of us on here are sick and tired of your Trump obsession.

[Smails]

Maybe you missed it. He's running again.

Well there you have it!

Since he's said he's running again, let's not look at this current administration with a critical lens. We'll just keep saying Trump Trump Trump whenever our current feckless, compromised leader fucks something up. Get ready for a lot of Trump conversation because Biden screws shit up all the time. Good times ahead. Good lord

[paulxu]

You bring up all this nonsense about Trump this, Trump that, Trump would have shot it down, he even said it didn't happen.

And can't handle the truth, even from your own party.
