In his customarily subtle way, where ‘subtle’ is like a brick through a window, President Trump delivers advice to Joe Biden about how to deal with Chinese Chairman Xi Jinping’s spy balloon:
“SHOOT DOWN THE BALLOON!”
Personally, I like the added emphasis with the exclamation point. However, now that President Trump has recommended this approach, the Biden team have to take shooting down the balloon off the table – or else they will look like they are following Trump’s advice. lolol
Some days I just miss the way he says, Chy-na.

SHOOT DOWN THE BALLOON!
Ok, that video was funny but geez, SHOOT DOWN THE BALLOON already Joe.
That guy sounds JUST like DJT! Amazing! And the words could be more Trump like. 🙂
Shawn Farash has organized some awesome Trump rallies (as well as peaceful protests) in my neck of the woods! What a great guy! I hope he gets to meet President Trump one day!
That guy has a gift!
The balloon is a test run to see how we respond. Taiwan is next.
There’s NOTHING funny about the the fraud in the wh ALLOWING china to take over. You WON’T be laughing as your starving to death. Wake up!!
Lighten up Karen. We all need to laugh sometimes. Comedy can reach people that wouldn’t normally be paying attention.

Ridicule…maybe the most powerful no violent weapon.
The fraudsters..here in Canada, the U.S.A. and in much of the free world are being mocked.
Laugh at these F**kers..and laugh often.
Cheers!
If it keeps what seems like an eastern trajectory maybe it will make Chicago for the weekly 9mm Festa and… ‘dey can practis wit dey ninez… before turning them against each other and random innocents. Brok and Moosh won’t be there as they’re usually at thier HI estate or out ‘n about the Kalorama cocktail party circuit speaking about “Keeve” and all their edgy narratives.
They probably paid him not to shoot it down.
Now, that’s a thought.
Joe can’t shoot down the balloon. This is the weakness and capitulation the CCP paid for.
And that hits the nail on the head…..
Oh, Kathryn, please don’t bring up the Pelosis!
Just kidding!
Yeah, that whole story sure disappeared, didn’t it? That bizarre video brought up way more questions then San Fran Nan was interested in answering… strongly suspecting someone’s going to cut a plea deal and the whole thing is just going to go “poof”
The Chinese spy is in the WH….. this is a setup to see if he is loyal to them or not.
You are right about who is in the white house, but they know exactly what he will do in situations like this.
Doubt will only be introduced if Beijing and Moscow break up.
The total garbage about not shooting it down is such bullshit. Montana has more non-populated space than 98% of the nation
As I recall, they do have missile silos as well.
..
..
Ya know, some off the radar private plane could handle this, right?
Afterall, we really don’t need an EMP Pulse to add to our troubles, or do we????

“It is balooooon!”
Gutfeld made funny comment to the effect of:
It is racist to call this a Chinese Balloon.
It is obviously a White Privilege balloon.
It does leave a very large question mark as to why they haven’t done it.
The “real” reason
COBRA 47 JUST LEFT a TRACK LINE around the CCP Balloon Area and Now Headed back to Offutt
https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=ae01d4
Interesting, I’m in NW Missouri. Had trouble with websites loading for most of afternoon. 🤷♀️
Likely they were listening on as many systems as they have and recording any emissions coming from the balloon in order to determine just what it is. Odds are it is a weather balloon and just what China has said it is. But Cobra 47 was sent to determine if the Chinese were telling the truth. The RCs were in the other squadron when I was flying out of Offutt years ago.
Did they intercept it? I think it was just Chinese take-out. New Hub Grub experiment. Top Secret recipe.
It’s on its way to the White House to deliver 10% to the Big Guy.
After that mission is complete they can shoot it down and take credit for defending the home front.
Too funny. I just love our Very Stable Genius!
🤣🤣🤣
“…now that President Trump has recommended this approach, the Biden team have to take shooting down the balloon off the table…”
Completely true and absolutely ridiculous. Made possible because we have emotional toddlers in charge of the gov.
Don’t insult toddlers!
Sounds like reverse psychology! Now someone should go tell FJ Biden to invade Russia! /s
If shot down, then any useful intel would be lost. Better to poke some holes in it, let the helium escape slowly, and capture the thing as it slowly descends to earth. Our earth. Then again, it could be carrying something that China HOPES we’d shoot down. One never knows.
If I had to bet, based on what I’ve seen so far, I’d say this balloon is just a standard weather balloon and that this story was planted in the news by Neocons who are now trying to pivot away from “Russia bad” and their failing war in Ukraine to a “China bad” propaganda campaign to get the American public ready for the next pointless, costly, possibly catastrophic guaranteed-to-end-in-failure war they’re planning to drag us into.
Hey Chamberlain. China is bad.
China, Russia and Ukraine are all bad
Escaping helium might cause global climate change, though.
/s
This apparently happens all the time and the major nations all do it. Testing radar capabilities. There won’t be anything useful in the balloon. Interesting that they’ve decided to make it a story, though.
US military routinely captures weather balloons and other similar things by putting a hook on a cable attached to a C-130. Even heavy loads can be picked up from the ground this way with a good crew.
It would be better to capture this thing intact and be able to inspect it on the ground wearing hazmat suits then to have it scattered across somebody’s cornfield. For one thing, we really would like to know exactly what was in it.
OFFSHORE Now. Let the Squids get it.
The ” powers THAT Be ” ALLOWED this thing to get into the Lower 48
Apparently Canada believes there’s yet another inbound.
Sounds like the sort of skyhook program run by the IC during the Cold War.
.
That doesn’t work well; it would be transmitting back to China in real time. It should have been shot down over U.S. waters at the left coast.
.
It came from the north, initially across Alaska.
You know, where one can see Russia?
That might have been a bad place to launch a missile.
Not that I’m crediting the Regime with wisdom or strategic sense.
They’re skeeeeerd to shoot it down because of “unknown consequences “. WTH…..
Question for the day: “What gets accomplished when operating with a fear of unknown consequences?”
Let’s Go brandon FJB
😉🇺🇸
JOE, JUST TELL JILL TO GO GET THE SHOTGUN AND SHOOT IT UP IN AIR! SHOOT DOWN THAT BALOON JOE!
That’s “DR” Jill to you!
/s
If the administration was going to shoot the balloon down, it would not have announced the discovery beforehand. Such an action was never in the cards.
I understand the national security risks of a Chinese “spy balloon” floating across the US, and am not dismissing them, but the media coverage reeks of propaganda to me. The warmongers in the US State Department clearly have an agenda in the Pacific, and it involves turning Taiwan into the next Ukraine.
In my opinion, this is narrative is a means to that end. It is an attempt to raise the temperature in the West Pacific.
It might be a timely distraction from some stories coming out, nonetheless, what we should do is capture the thing intact.
Even in Vietnam we sometimes did that, you put a hook on a long cable with some stretch in it, attach it to the back of a C-130 and snag the balloon with the hook. We have even picked up fairly heavy loads from the ground by doing that. It isn’t even an experimental or new technique.
The military knows all about how to do that, and so we are being deliberately lied to by the military and the Biden Administration. They have never been faced with the need to scatter wreckage all over the landscape. If they let the thing keep flying across the United States, it’s because they want it to.
Seems like a PSYOP.
LoL! Right on clue:
“White House: Biden chose not to shoot down Chinese spy balloon, but keeping ‘all options on table’
The White House says they are keeping ‘all options on the table’ regarding the Chinese balloon
Brooke Singman By Brooke Singman | Fox News
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/white-house-biden-chose-not-shoot-down-chinese-spy-balloon-keeping-options-table
Most favored option: Prostration.
We need to see what is inside the balloon before we shoot down the balloon. Unlike Healthcare bills…
Don’t hear of an American anything appearing over Chy-na.
Anthony blinking was supposed to be flying to China today I think, for some kind of talks. He should probably reschedule the trip for later today, but go in a B-52. He can reassure Beijing with a phone call that it is only carrying weather-monitoring equipment, just like the balloon.
He cancelled the trip today.
Pay off money is in the balloon. No need to go.
Later this afternoon they corrected the message from cancellation, to a “postponement”, of Winken, Blinken, & Nod’s excursion to Chy-na.
So he blinked?
Like I said, it’s just chinese air mail returning some documents.
Joe asked for the originals back and Chairman Xi is returning them. Now that they can’t shoot it down (because Trump said to do so), they have to let it drift off to wherever lost messenger balloons go when nobody wants them.
Island of misfit balloons
Or just trying to sell us extension car warranty.
I have followed some serious discussion about this today on other websites. For one thing, it is not clear how it could be shot down. It’s too high for any plane to do it and a missile won’t likely be able to home in on it. And laser shot is doubtful too. The other thing is that there is no agreed international law agreement on where the line is between a country’s legitimate air space and where “space” beings–where it is ok to place satellites. In fact, some satellites are in orbits not all that much higher than this thing. If we shot it down, assuming we could actually do that, this could well give China the pretext to take out one of our satellites down the road. I love it.
We have shot down satellites with air
Planes . A balloon shouldn’t be too hard.
If the US government doesn’t get going on this, I think Elon Musk is going to capture the thing. US military routinely recovers weather balloons and other such things by putting a hook on a stretchy cable and attaching it to the back of a C-130. You then hook the weather balloon itself, haul it into the the aircraft or spaceship, and wearing a hazmat suit inspect it at your leisure.
We really need to know what is in that thing. Letting it go is not an option, for all we know it is carrying biological weapons or Putin’s long-promised nuke.
The possibility of a biological weapon threat is frightening. I remember Bill Gates smirking when he said the next pandemic WOULD get our attention.
Lasers
Haha, our family still gets giggles when we say chi-na
DJT, subtle as teargas
I think it’s safe to say that Joe The Sniffer is a verifiable Chinese Communist Party asset.
It occurred to me this afternoon, that allowing the balloon to drift across America’s Heartland is just another piece of the terror campaign this Administration has rolled out. J6 attendees rot in jail with no justice. Ashli Babbett murdered in cold blood at the Capitol. Stolen midterms. Promoting dangerous gene therapy injections and silencing honest critics along with the opposing literature. Destroying our military to the point that no one wants to volunteer any more. It’s one hot mess.
let’s go brandon is an understatement
Better than shooting it down, our military routinely recovers or captures weather balloons and other things by putting a hook on a cable attached to the back of a C-130 and snagging the balloon. Pretty heavy payloads are even picked up from the ground this way.
It is a disgrace that this balloon has gotten this far, but capturing it might turn this humiliation into a small victory. Whatever is on that balloon, we would be better off for being able to examine it intact, wearing hazmat suits, then having it spread out over some wide area.
Maximum altitude for a C-130 is just under 5 miles. This thing is much higher. Not plane can fly that high.
To bad we retired the Sr -71 max ceiling 85k’
Dad used to tell me years ago that they retired it cause they had something better. Aurora something or other.
That was the rumor back in the day when I was involved in the program.
I saw some stories about Aurora being an air launched and recovered platform, but that was a good ways back and I’ve heard nothing since.
I think the autonomous Global Hawk is the mainstay high altitude platform now.
Then there’s the X-37B. But that has a different sort of mission.
SR’s are unarmed.
Kinda pokey though.
85k’ that you know of…
Thank you for saying this Stringy theory. Gm Burns has posted the same thing many times. No civilian aircraft flies that high and a C-130 is a propeller-driven plane with a ceiling way below the balloon.
whatever…..do what we have to do to get the darn thing out of our air space!
We are the United States of America!!!!
Well, we used to be.
Dear American Military Leaders,
Put down the soy and do your freaking jobs.
Signed,
One pissed off American
I’m beginning to think their job is to poison and depopulate.
Signed ALL pissed off Americans.
Thank you for allowing us to join you.
I am just wondering how the balloon was allowed into our American air space?
Did Joe just give them the “OK come on in” response?
Don’t we monitor our country’s air space?
So very many questions, no real answers…….sigh
To Joe, it is just one more illegal immigrant
It crossed the border just like everyone else..
Well played
that is an excellent question -“don’t we monitor our country’s air space?”
🍻
S H O O T DOWN THE
F-ING BALLOON YOU FLIPPING COMMUNIST!!!
COURT MARSHALL THIS POTATO HEAD OCCUPYING THE WH!!!
THIS IS BEYOND RIDICULOUS! WHAT THE F IS GOING ON!!!!!!!!!
Is that YOU, Kevin?? Gotta get a VHS of that film down at Hollywood video.
Just teasing. I LOVE reading your tweets Kevin. Very funny and spot on
We do need more heros don’t we?
Many, many points or upvotes for this. Unfortunately the Administration’s reaction shows us as totally ineffective. Impeach the impotent geezer.
Trump pushed Space Force for the future of defense.
Biden pushes climate change with China as a partner
Trump trolling X2 Biden & Xi. LMAO
Give it 10 days and we’ll have another killer virus breaking out across the entire US.
Right. But first CONgress needs to vote on that bill subverting our God-given freedoms to the whims of the tyrannical World Health Organization. Our biggest ‘health emergency’ is those genocidal maniacs creating transhuman robots!
China now knows exactly how to hit us with an airborne pathogen, just release it from a balloon
AH HA!!
If you retrace the path of the balloon back to China and then play it forwards, it spells out “Biden is an idiot”.
Those crafty Orientals, always up to something.
O my! Joe & whole Biden family is so compromised. Xi did a test “trial Balloon” to see if Joe is still loyal to CCP. OMG!! Of course he cannot shoot the spy balloon down.
Saturday evening or Sunday morning the balloon will be over the Atlantic off the coast of N.C., that would be the best place to shoot it down and have the Navy or Coast Guard recover it.
Being a RETIRED Coastie – NO COAST GUARD
( NOT UNLESS a Keg is Involved for PROPER MISSION COMPLETION )
BEST LEFT for the DoD and the Spooks that ” PLAY Cards ” with Them
“NOT UNLESS a Keg is Involved for PROPER MISSION COMPLETION”
Or 2-3 empty staterooms loaded to the overhead with cases of non-formaldehyde beer. Those were the days…(sigh)
If we shoot it down, the Chicoms will hold back this month’s payment to Hunter and the Big Guy. C’mon man! We can’t allow that.
Pfizer is about to announce a vaccine against the balloon.
May as well call those that take that shot, airheads.
Hahaha. This balloon is just looking for Hunter’s laptop.
SUM TING WONG!
Outstanding impression! More importantly, OUTSTANDING ADVICE!
Beavis & Butthead
The balloon needs a name. How bout Wu Flue Too

TV news reader says the barroon is over Cape Girardeau. That was Rush Limbaugh’s home town. I wish we could hear him talk about that.
Just went out and looked since it’s just twilight but couldn’t spot it. Thought maybe the sunset would light it up a bit.
People would be pulling off the road in fits of laughter!

The most appropriate Zeppelin tune I could come up with …
Yeah, yeah, too low energy for President Trump …
Each day devolves into more stupid stuff.
Oh! Oh! seeeeeee ! Donald Drumpth would have gotten US into WWIII with Chyyyynauhhhh !! Ohhhhhhhhh Mommmmmaaaaaa …
/sarc.
The admin’s response to the balloon-Tony Blinken crying that he can’t go to Chy-na cuz they won’t play nice. I can’t believe this is our country.
This is our country on Commies.
JoeBama, the CIA, Norad, our satellites have been tracking this thing long before Montana. This is another planned crisis. Makes me think the government is more out of control than I thought. Everyone dig a deep bunker.
They certainly tried to keep it a secret, until they couldn’t any more.
‘The only thing that concerns me is that it was allowed to enter US airspace.
And that means it came across Canada. So much for NORAD: apparently the Alaska portion is too worried about polar ice melting; Canada too worried about tracking BC bud; and we have no apparent interest in maintaining air sovereignty. Disgusting is too soft a word to describe NORAD’s response.
🤣 🤣 🤣
I can just HEAR … MY President Trump … in a news conference explaining how he ordered the “Chyyynahh” balloon to be shot down. A balloon sent from “Chyynahhh” to spy (or worse) on Americans in this great country. That we cannot allow “Chyyynahhhh” to invade our air space. And thanking the fine men and women serving in our military for keeping America safe from … “Chyyyyyynahhhhh-ese” aggression.
Meanwhile … Gen. Milley is studying his “white rage” handbook for how to avoid feeding-into AAPI hate.
Oh!
And our fine, fine, Sec. of State Antony Blinken Winken etc. has “postponed his trip to China … indefinitely” … ohhhhhhhh mommmmaaaaa … that’ll teach the ChiComs to fool around in our air space!!
The ridiculous thing is that who knows whether this balloon is a “spy balloon” or a “weather balloon”? This could be something totally innocuous and the media has been given the narrative – it’s a Chinese spy balloon over US military bases….
I don’t trust any Pentagon spokesman, but truth is, they don’t seem too worried about it if they can say with a straight face for people to look up in the air and see if they see it.
Doesn’t matter what it is. Shoot it down.
The fact that it’s in the mainstream discussion/news should tell you all you need to know
about how dangerous this balloon is.
If this balloon was, in fact, a thing; we wouldn’t even know about it.
That general’s response really hammer-hacked me. Citizens pay good money for the military to be the eyes, ears and arms that protect this country. Is it too much to ask for an update, General ? Many citizens are concerned.
Maybe they are not shooting it down yet is because Hunter was paid for a certain time period minimum
