The General of NORAD (you know the folks who detect that stuff) said that they never detected them... these are visible to the naked eye from the ground, pilots were afraid to hit them. They closed airspace down. People were taking pictures of them...
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.
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

Have investigations begun to reveal who blew up the balloons?
Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel. Samuel Johnson, 1775
Religion....is the opiate of the people. Karl Marx, 1848
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose. Kris Kristofferson, 1969
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?
Isaiah 6:5
“Woe to me!” I cried. “I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the Lord Almighty.”
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.

Isaiah 6:5
“Woe to me!” I cried. “I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the Lord Almighty.”
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.
Judge Juan M. Merchan wrote that Trump “appears to take the position that his situation and this case are unique and that the pre-trial publicity will never subside. However, this view does not align with reality.”
