Chinese Balloon

[Timberridge]

Is Wooley in there?

We may need an exhumation.

[The AD]

How the heck did we get on the subject of train wrecks?

[I Skied Bandini Mountain]

LOL first they criticize for not shooting something down (even though its insides were fried), to we're shooting too many things down too fast.

Faux news is a poison.

Well, it all started with trashing on Pete Buttigieg and balloons and then sort of wandered.

- Wow these ufo balloons are a weird new development

"Hey! I demand you call them Chinese Balloons! From China! Cause that's where they're from - say it! Why won't anyone call them what they really are - Chinese!!!"

- Hey some of these UFO balloons might not be spy balloons - huh

"Hahaha you guys are all morons for thinking these came from China! Gosh you guys will believe anything! Aw man I'm awesome."

[Cono Este]

I guess it’s never a time to express concern that we’re a little trigger happy these days? That the rest of the world might be a little concerned that most powerful nation on earth is firing missiles at $200 nerd club ballon’s? That the same nerd balloon over flew China itself?

Nah, dis information.

[heckacali]

We are playing into China's hands,
they loaded up the "China spy balloons" with the newest "China Flu" so it is released over our land when we pop them.

Only geniuses can figure this out.

I am the laughing stock of the internet world.

Imagine what they're saying in China:

Inner-Circle Advisor to Chairman Xi:
Comrade Chairman, the balloon was a brilliant idea and it was successful! We got the agitators in their Politboro to sow doubt and spread false information! An added bonus the agitators improved their bonafides within their party!

Chairman Xi:
Yes. It was well done.

Advisor:
Even in their great leader's annual address to their parliament the agitators were spreading dissent! The one in the fake white fur was being a loudmouth and seeking media attention as usual. Should we have our agents blackmail her?

Chairman Xi:
No, don't bother, one of our agents, secret code name Billy Ray Jim Bob, has already made contact and taken pictures of her in the usual blackmail compromising positions. He reports the ride was like a trip in old chinese made limousine with broken suspension riding down Stretch Marks Boulevard.

Advisor:
Ah, um, what does that last transmission mean?

Chairman Xi:
Our intelligence directorate is still trying to figure that out.

In my talks over the secret hotline with their Prime Minister Biden he said he "wouldn't touch that even with Putin's penis on the end of a ten meter long communist-make steel pipe, after heavy drinking on a Saturday night in a Scranton trailer park."

Chairman Xi, after a pause:
We're also trying to figure out what that means.

Xi is pouring a Languedoc, lighting a Zhongnonhai, putting Xingjiang torture on tv and diving into some Ying-Yang fish

I’m pretty sure who gave the green light for the fighter jockey to destroy the nerds ballon. And if it was the skank in the fury white coat who convinced him, I’m a lot more worried than I’ve ever been.

[Bunion 2020]

That figures cause every day you get more and more worried.

[bennymac]

DefCono 1 here thinks he can become even more worried. Not possible.

[BmillsSkier]

DefCono 1 lol.

All I know is if I was in a nerd balloon club and had my club balloon shot down by a fucking sidewinder off an F-16, I’d think that was rad as shit and I’d tell anyone who’d listen.

[JimmyCarter]

As the number of posts on any TRG thread increases the probability of it becoming a train wreck approaches 1.

Update #2

A hobby club in illinois is looking for its balloon.

We are the laughing stock of the world.

From the link:
“I tried contacting our military and the FBI—and just got the runaround—to try to enlighten them on what a lot of these things probably are. And they’re going to look not too intelligent to be shooting them down,” says Ron Meadows, the founder of Scientific Balloon Solutions (SBS), a Silicon Valley company that makes purpose-built pico balloons for hobbyists, educators and scientists.

You've got this wrong. She exhibits fury, but her coat was furry.

[Timberridge]

So nobody is concerned that Wooley's family cemetery is being reclaimed by the wilderness?

[SumJongGuy]

Agree with BMIlls.. Only thing better than having your science project blown up by an F16 is having your science project blow up an F16..

I hope they ultimately get full credit. They deserve it.

So let me get this straight

guy representing people who fly untracked balloons with no control thru commercial airspace, where the payload may plummet to earth in a populated area, thinks US Govt is not very smart for shooting them down?

Wait till the FAA comes over for a chat about requirements for tracking and notification regarding descent

I know, right? That's all-time.

"We call him Blimpie
that's Hindenburg
Barney is over there
and of course, Chuck FUCKING YEAGER!"

[BmillsSkier]

I promise you it’s only gonna get better from here on out

And by better, I mean confusing and hilarious.

I hope Bender is there.

you just want to jerk your scottyb to the thought of an underage raccoon gangbang
