Republicans in Congress are still worried about balloons like it's the 1900 freakin hundreds

After watching Republicans feeble attempt at grilling Mark Zuckerberg a few yrs back I realized there's no one at the helm in Washington when it comes to our national defense. These clueless cocksplats are freaking out about a balloon being a possible threat when every country on the planet including Russia, China, India has satellites in orbit that can read the license plates on people's cars from outer space in real time??? These imbeciles are clueless to cyber security (THE REAL FREAKIN THREAT) which was made abundantly obvious when Zuckerberg talked to them like they were mental defectives who didn't even realize he was making a total mockery of them. No wonder Putin supports having Republicans in complete control of our country. Atleast Democrats in Congress are intelligent enough to realize they don't know shit as lawmakers when it comes to the advanced technologies needed to protect us.

the bird feeder in my back yard and the little blue spruce about 18" high. Then there is the street view from every major street or highway.

out if it was just hot air and a bit of Chinese humor or it was spying on us and transmitting in real time. It could have been filled with fentanyl. I just thought of that now
