1. Heard a hilarious point

On Stephanie Miller this AM. Alison Gill texted this weekend,
Hershel Walker was right. “Jina is dumping their bad air into our good air, via balloons”.
Damnit, we let a Genius get away, such a lose for the Senate.

2. Fox News right now: "Duh... Trump would have handled it better!!!"

No, he wouldn't have.

5. Oh of course the idiot ass pickle babbles on about fake news.

I just wish they would stop quoting the lies.

6. Had this admin shot it down as soon as it was spotted

The republicans would be complaining about that too. Probably talking about wasting resources on a balloon, not waiting to observe and collect Intel on it, or something about Biden being a warmonger. The last one seems far fetched, but these people were saying similar things when Pelosi visited Taiwan. They will always find a way to take issue with anything.

8. Agreed.

People are approaching this as if it was a "good faith" but maybe hypocritical attack on President Biden. Nothing that Conservatives, and their political vehicle, the Republican Party, do is in good faith.

All the people who are outraged, know very well that this happened during the Trump administration, and likely other administrations as well. It is nothing more than the latest attempt to smear President Biden.

The bigger problem is how the media handles these things. Instead of confronting Republicans and calling out their blatant bad faith arguments, they treat it as a debate. There is no debate here. Republicans do anything, including lie, to score partisan points.

10. I can't wait until our Government

after finding the pieces of this balloon and analyzing them come out and state "IT WAS A WEATHER BALLOON"
What will MSM report then? "Biden owes China $$$$$$ for balloon"? Will they recap how they got the
public in an uproar over "SPY BALLOON-SPY BALLOON-SPY BALLOON-SPY BALLOON"?
