    What makes you think Cocaine Don was referring to anybody using a gun?

    MTG along with trumps retarded son and other dipshit reds stated that residents should shoot it down. I don't know many reds that own a Howitzer. LOL

    And your left wing media told you to make excuses as it floated across the entire nation and we were aware of it

    Actually, common sense told us the administration would take care of it appropriately, which is what we elected them to do...

    Without all the panty twisting you seem to require...

    What excuses am I making? Why risk hurting someone? Is your partisan programming so complete that you don't care anymore?....OK, silly question. We know the answer already.

    Here is a question for you. If it was being tracked across America why was it any bigger a threat than a satellite?

    They should have just let it continue eastward; let NATO handle it.

    Surely you’re not new to how this (cartoon version of politics) “works”, right?
    We’re fighting so much we can’t see the parody we’re making of the political process.
    “Popeye” had more political depth, “Pogo” in leagues!

    I hear ya. I'm pretty sure some folks here haven't posted a single original opinion (outside personal anecdotes). It is all just regurgitation of whatever 'shock, horror, outrage' source they read that day in line wiht their partisan views. Puddles have more depth.

    it does matter, one is an accident, the other is not

    America is not being malicious if some American doing some scientific test loses control of his balloon, neither is China

    At the risk of being accused of invoking, er, ah, ‘channeling Sir Terry Pratchett’,
    “You call these scandals!?, back in my day we had proper scandals! Yes! They lasted weeks!”

    Wasn't Trump the one who said if he were still POTUS, the Chinese not only wouldn't have launched the balloon, they would have paid him to use the balloon technology he invented?

    Or was that "If I were still POTUS" stuff just good for the Putin war?

    Do you think reds actually believe in the horseshit Trump says? Or do you think reds just like him cause he's their type of troll they want to "own the libs" that he fails miserably at?

    As it turns out it was shot down over water less than 50’ deep so no excuses not to get it.

    It is. A decent percentage of our strategic nuclear triad is based there along with other sensitive military equipment.

    Work with a Republican? They think it’s better to let it fly across all of America than to do that. They hate us far more than the CCP.
