"The catastrophic Chinese Spy Balloon spectacle clearly threatened American families from Alaska to my home community in South Carolina and confirms President Biden and Vice President Harris should resign," Wilson said in a tweet. "My call for their resignation was valid in August 2021 due to the surrender and disastrous withdrawal in Afghanistan, creating a safe haven for terrorists to attack American families."

"It is clear that standard protocol for defense of U.S. airspace was ignored," said Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Miss., the top Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee. "If press reports are correct, the Biden Administration hoped to hide this incident from the American people from the start. The White House owes Congress and the American people answers about this failure, and I intend to get those answers without delay."
So.... How exactly does a spy-cam threaten your lives?

(16,876 posts)Take their actual shortcomings and blame it on Biden (or whatever Dem they seem to be hating on that day). We see this over and over again, just recently it was with regards to handling of classified documents & now it's "the balloon". "Biden tried to hide this from us"...Oh really asshole? How about the THREE time Trump actually did hid it from the public??!

(20,006 posts)Imagine the screaming and wailing of the GQP banshees if it had been shot down over land and fallen on someone or something of value. The banshees are reckless and impulsive enough to do that just to show their suckers how "tough" they are...and then blame somebody else for the damage.
The incident was handled perfectly--by adults.
