I generally feel like Biden being the nominee is borderline a guarantee of a Republican president provided their nominee isn't Trump. And even then I think it would be at best 50/50.

shame on an IGA posted:

I'm surprised the US acknowledged it, seems like it would be easier to feed disinfo if we pretend we can't see it

As someone whose work day is currently revolving around the balloon and reports about the balloon, there wasn't going to be much pretending we couldn't see it. It's very, very obvious.

A slow moving, very obvious balloon that we’ve supposedly been tracking for days isn’t going to catch anything sitting outside a hanger either though.

I posted the balloon thing as a "lol look at this dumb thing" type of item.

I really should've known it would consume about 100% of the newsmedia oxygen with every dumbass with access to a television saying I THINK WE SHOULD SHOOT IT DOWN and now it's a full national security/diplomatic incident.

I couldn't give less of a gently caress. Call me when some idiot tries to shoot it and the tumbling bullet puts a hole in something.

I’d be absolutely shocked if it’s not getting shot at by idiots on the ground

Complex pattern… of a straight line?

The amount of people I've seen talk about it "maneuvering" or "loitering over sensitive areas" is insane.

Not sure if that story has it, but there’s a video from someone’s doorbell and it just straight up falls out of the sky.
