    Even Pepperidge Farm can't remember the press (who hated Trump) talking about these balloons and everyone taking pictures of them....

    Do you know why Pepperidge Farm can't remember? It's because it didn't happen.

    You are too dumb to comprehend the meaning of my question. The point, retard, is that wither or not Trump was aware of the three balloons has no bearing on Biden administration's response to the balloon. It is down, is it not? Deflecting to Trump is a sign of TDS.

    Now... do you understand?

    Ridiculous argument that it is somehow to Trump's credit or discredit whether Chinese balloons entered U.S. airspace accidentally or on purpose during his four years.

    The other ridiculous aspects are China's outrage we shot it down, when if the thing were reversed we would expect them to shoot ours down, and Republicans' outrage we waited until it could be done without putting people on the ground in danger.

    This was confirmed. As usual, volsrock looks like an idiot. Probably because he is one.

    Also, much easier to recover the debris intact over the ocean. The balloon posed no threat, we were certainly jamming any signal that was coming from the balloon. Much ado about nothing, but of course, Trumpers had to claim their guy would have shot it down. Unfortunately for them, facts and stuff.
