I love the implications of getting to shoot uncle Glenn with a laser again on his way to meet his maker
I’m surprised they didn’t just lie and call it a drug lord spy balloon.
They would have, but it was a standard white birthday boy. If it had been a Latino kid, watch out!
A white kid? In El Paso? I have my doubts.
Maybe the family that propped the balloon was too rich to silence using ICE?
So the narrative the other day was drug cartels were swarming the airport with drones and that's why they had to shut it down.
Was that a total fabrication to cover for this obvious false positive?
Also answers my question for "How come nobody has drone bombed you-know-who yet?"
Yes, this administration produces wild lies constantly.
Just about everyone dislikes bureaucracy even if it is honest and trustworthy.
On the other hand, everyone hates a lying and corrupt bureaucracy. I guess making everyone hate the government is code for MAGA.
Make the government fail and then triumphantly point out you said it would fail. Yeah, because you fucking made it fail you dimwit.

Orange McRapepedo can only chase the latest shiny trophy or bribe that gets dangled in front of pig eyes, but don't mistake him for the incompetence of everyone. JD Couchfucker and the scum like him would absolutely continue dismantling the government, not out of stupidity but so they can sell off the broken scraps to the tech sociopath oligarchs.
"Oh damn, looks like government healthcare doesn't work, guess we should put Tim Apple in charge of iHealth. Looks like social security money isn't being distributed efficiently, let's set everyone up in Sauron Thiel's Palantir database so things work more smoothly. Education results continue to decline after a pedo protector from the WWE couldn't run things? Obviously Cuckerberg already has the infrastructure to get everyone into a controlled virtual learning environment, and recess can be spent playing games with loot boxes."
The Department of Misinformation wants to hear more about your Loot Box Learning program. After they merge with Roblox and Grok AI they are going to need visionaries like you. People who are not afraid to ask the tough question our children deserve to hear like was the Holocaust even real?
“~~Chinese~~ ~~Spy~~ ~~Weather~~ Birthday Balloon”
Soooooo should counter protesters just release a bunch of mylar balloons to cause disruption? Publicly admitting that their tech/operators can't discern between balloons and drones is..... A choice.

Yes.

Also yes. 😄
Balloons are sky trash, bad for the environment. But they could be good camouflage for drones now, I guess.
Edit: maybe release a hundred of these:

Is there a source on the material of the balloon? Like did it have a radar cross section and that's what caused the confusion?
Because if so, you're gonna want to attach something like aluminum foil as it doesn't look like those would actually be able to confuse optics.
a bunch of these
but tastefully edited
Good point about the sky trash, forgot about that!
As for using biodegradable pride balloons to distract fascist weaponry? That's the ultimate poetic justice! 😘👌😄
Grrreeeat. CBP casually out here committing terrorism. Imagine if they accidentally shot at a commercial aircraft o.o
A commercial aircraft has ads-b and a radar signature larger than a basketball.
Well to me it just sounds like they were doing target practice on random stuff lol

Funny they need such an advanced piece of war defense equipment deployed against their own citizens
If it was a fair fight they would lose
Ehh. I'm not seeing evidence that was in any way pointed at people. In the aftermath of the Ukrainian strikes on Russia's strategic bombers it became quite apparent that leaving your air force out unprotected in your own country is a shortcut to losing a lot of it at once. The US Air Force has the same problem the Russian VKS had: lots of expensive planes out in the open scattered over a massive country that anyone can get drones or explosives into.
Hello? Nena? You're not gonna believe this... 🎈
Legendary reference pull
the administration when it comes to birthday celebrations:
fuck them kids
the administration when it comes to abducting children from schools because they're not white:
fuck them kids
the administration when they see a child
fuck them kids
How fucking cartoon villainous do you have to be to shoot down a fucking birthday ballon with a multi-million dollar laser - JFC I want off Mr toads wild ride
If I had one of those lasers, trying it out on some balloons is probably the first thing I'd do XD
You monster
They would be bought for the purpose, not someone else's =)
That’s what a monster would say! Jk
There’s a song about that!
🔊🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶 Hast du etwas Zeit für mich Dann singe ich ein Lied für dich Von neunundneunzig Luftballons Auf ihrem Weg zum Horizont Denkst du vielleicht grad an mich Dann singe ich ein Lied für dich Von neunundneunzig Luftballons Und, dass so was von so was kommt
You and I in a little toy shop Buy a bag of balloons with the money we've got Set them free at the break of dawn 'Til one by one they were gone Back at base bugs in the software Flash the message: "something's out there!" Floating in the summer sky Ninety-nine red balloons go by
"It's all over and I'm standin' pretty In this dust that was a city If I could find a souvenir Just to prove the world was here And here is a red balloon I think of you, and let it go"....
Such a surprisingly depressing song if you've only heard the original and you don't speak German
Are we possibly actually entering into a Gilead situation with DHS scooping up military assets?
Possibly, actually, and other adverbs.
DoD tackles air pollution
We need no longer fear the birthday balloon. (With apologies to Seth)
I'm surprised Faux "news" didn't claim it was in the posession of the same jewish group that uses space lasers to start forest fires.
Lol. Reflective balloons can defeat that multi million dollar piece of shit. Wonder how it does in the rain
NinjaKiwi better take notes for a new Bloons tower lmao
These guys been watching too much IT, thinking balloons are the enemy.
