Over this? Show me my butthurt posts defending him

It's okay, several of you get upset over the biggest racist politician in our lifetime. Seriously makes me wonder though, why you guys get upset over him be criticized. Is it his racism that inspires you, or his attention to kids?

the Republicans should bring in helium tanks to Congress and hand out balloons to their members just prior to the State of the Union Speech

From CNN:

A plan to shoot down the balloon was once again presented to Biden on Friday night while he was in Wilmington, where he approved the execution plan for Saturday.

“We’re gonna take care of it,” Biden said later on the frigid tarmac Saturday in Syracuse, New York, where he was paying a brief visit to visit family.

Government officials were told Friday night “decisions would be made (Saturday) morning” on when to close down airspace, and FAA officials were told to “be by the phone” early Saturday morning and “ready to roll.”

And blacks are good at sports because of the extra tendon in their knees.

It’s the Achilles that is lengthened not an extra tendon in the knee.

Obviously you don’t know yourself.

What's funny is when the truth is so amazingly obvious and the majority realize it, the are called a hive mind. However, when the liberal progressives on here are unified in the defense of something so obviously wrong, they aren't. His posts are like the final twitches of something dying. He finally gives up and starts jerking around with his shots.

Even the master troll septic knows when trolling just makes you look like an idiot.

Wait wut? Septic is a master troll?

GOP this morning: It should be shot down right away! Let the military do its job!

Biden, 4 days ago to the military: Shoot it down as soon as you can.

GOP tonight: Biden should have MADE the military do it sooner!


It's just painful to watch you contort yourselves to find a way to bash him for this.

Do you enjoy making yourself look stupid on a football rival's message board? Seriously, this is a dumb statement. Do you honestly believe NORAD wasn't tracking this balloon when it was still over the Pacific? Do you honestly believe that the Commander-in-Chief wasn't advised of this balloon shortly after they began tracking it? Do you think our air defenses are completely inept? Biden knew about this well before it was reported. There were chances to shoot this thing down over the Pacific. It's common sense.

is it the tendon that is lengthened or the actual bone structure of the heel?

To LGs defense, Jill might have kept this from Joe because it would have interrupted his ice cream time.

Well, I feel pretty confident that the Commander-in-Chief, whoever that might really be, was informed of this balloon well in advance.

I'll be honest, when I'm 80 I'll eat an ice cream cone any damn time I want.

I’ll bet you won’t be responsible for the security of the entire country when your 80.

Per the CNN link from earlier -

Biden himself would be updated regularly over the course of the week, with his national security team providing updates on their conversations with Chinese counterparts and military officials presenting updated military options.

Either is Joe. Some puppeteer is pulling his strings and telling him what to say.

Might be an upgrade over recent occupants

So what? In two years?

 

[DC_Vol]

Lets’s see, what excuses have we been fed so far. Please add if I am missing any.
1. We had to wait until it was in a safe area before it was shot down. The Pacific Ocean, wilds of Alaska or Montana wasn’t safe enough.
2. The President wasn’t told about a major national security event until it was too late.
3. It might have made the Chinese mad if we shot it down.

You forgot this one:
4. How is this any different than what we do with satellites??

 

[VolStrom]

I don't wait. I regularly stock nutty buddies in the warmer months. The grandkids love them, and so do I.

Nope. You're completely capable of reading your own stuff. It's funny, you claim to know yourself, but apparently not so well. Everyone else can see what you're doing, but you want to deny it? What are you afraid of? At least own what you're posting, instead of trying to flip flop. Still disappointed you didn't answer what you admire about Biden so much, I'm curious.

 

[OrangeTsar]

Exactly. “Wreckage was unrecoverable”.

I expect it contained a self destruct charge to avoid giving too much away. You make sure that sort of thing is irrecoverable Anything less would be very poor tradecraft

That’s a really good consideration. You are probably correct.
