POLITICAL THREAD

Blinken didn't cancel his trip to China to make a point, he cancelled the trip because he doesn't have the backbone to go over there and call them out.

What the hell are we doing? The USA is crumbling because an 80 year old man so badly wanted his name in the history books as POTUS.

I’ll fart in it’s general direction

 

[Wildcats1st]

yes we did. I guess you skipped the part of the DoDs statements where this happens every year and we do the same in China. The MAGA morons just needed something new and stupid to freak out over. and they chose Balloons because they are clowns

So maga owns cnn who has been with this balloon from the get go and still try to get clicks as it’s front headline material for cnn? If this happens every year why are your leftist outlets having an orgasm over the balloon???

You’re outta touch man!

We are facing ww3 largely on the lie that Trump colluded with Russia. WW3 seems like a much bigger cause and effect than some freshman congressman lying about his background because our very own president has done the same thing dozens of times.

Good to know you now blame Schiff for WW3 over the support for Ukraine.

I think it depends on how you tally them up. Christianity is extremely fractured. There are multiple different translations of the Christian Bible, additional scriptures not recognized by most Christians, and religions like Catholicism are frowned upon by a lot of modern day Christians. Catholics make up about 50% of the worldwide Christian population. If you include all religions professing to be Christian, it's definitely the largest. There are nearly as many Catholics as there are Muslims. This goes back to Sawnee Cat's post about having a relationship with Jesus Christ. How many of the 2+ billion Christians in the world actually have this? No way to say for sure, but in terms of who identifies as what, Jesus Christ is absolutely the most popular figure when it comes to belief in a deity.

Muslims are pretty fractured too. See Iraq-Iran war.

Duke's Lawson says men's ball used in FSU game

Duke coach Kara Lawson said the teams played with a men's basketball for the first half of a loss to Florida State on Sunday.

How did she know it’s a men’s ball?

Is she a biologist?

Maybe stated later, but they are different sizes - women's smaller diameter. Helps gin up shooting percentages.

Anybody wanna rent a Felix Baumgartner type rocket balloon and go up and take that thing out with a glock?

Impeachment is a bad look and its' all for show. It was bad with Trump and it would be bad for Biden.

Don't recall you saying that about Trump in 2020 & 2021. Show us.

That's a several million dollar lawsuit. And what the hell is DeSantis going to do about this BS?

 

[yes_takeaside]

Ya but they already know most anything of interest. They own a massive chunk of Telecom industry in this country, have their own satellites, gather unfathomable amounts of data from TikTok, and own most every politician.

Can't imagine there is anything about that installation they wouldn't already know or be able to get by much more clandestine means. Floating a giant, reflective, easily visible balloon is the opposite.

It just doesn't make sense

Just deflects from something else they don’t want talked about.

25 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them.

26 But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister;

27 And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant:

28 Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

Matthew 20

yea, chinas new top secret weapon is uncontrollable weather balloons. They just have to pray the wind bends to their will. ****ing sensational morons.

Aren't you the same ppl who believed a president got peed on in a hotel room? I think we know who the sensational moron is

This is why DT wants as many candidates as possible for the Pub primaries:

"Among Republican voters, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis continues to perform well in many polls, while former President Donald Trump has seen mixed results. President Biden has received modest support among Democrats, though a healthy portion of left-leaning voters still express interest in someone else entirely.

According to a recent Marquette University national poll, 64% of registered Republicans would pick DeSantis over Trump as the 2024 nominee, if the choice came down to the pair. The same poll found that registered voters favored DeSantis over Biden, 45% to 38% in a hypothetical 2024 matchup. In a head-to-head match up between Trump and Biden, the duo tied at 40%.

In both hypothetical matchups, Biden's share of support has steadily declined since last summer, while support for DeSantis and Trump has increased in the past year. The Marquette poll was conducted from Jan. 19-20."

Do you idiots not understand what a weather balloon is? It operates at 80-120,000 feet. F22's top ceiling is 50,000 ft. One like this willl be 300-500 ft in diameter with a solar array and instrument panel hanging from it. You cannot directly control its flight path. You have a valve that releases helium to change its altitude and insert it into different wind streams to try and kind of direct its path if the wind cooperates. Normally a weather ballon will hit its top ceiling and then a zipper on the balloon releases and the balloon very slowly falls to earth. you cannot hit it with the 20mm cannons and you don't waste a million dollar missile on a worthless balloon. The AMRAAM-ER technical max ceiling is 80,000 feet, you certainly don't want to fire one at a weather balloon and let china see what it is actaully capable of. You send a U2 to monitor its communications, if it has any, and learn capabilites.

I knew Platindork had some sort of hidden talent. Dude is a weather balloon expert/aficionado.

Yeah we can put a missile up a camels ass from space but we can’t drop a balloon flying over the country for a week. Total joke.

A. Biden does what China says

Or

B. It’s ours

Nothing else makes any sense.

 

[JLoad22]

All roads lead back to scum Pelosi and her need to make post-politic connections. China said they’d respond.

 

[Kaizer Sosay]

I understand that's your opinion, but it isn't the law. Businesses cannot refuse service based on sex or race or a handful of other identity attributes.

We did this last time and the thread went nuts because it was theoretical and not the specifics of this case but the easy correlation being race. If a person's religion preached it was a sin to mix races, including in economic activity, and they refused to sell to black people because of that, is that legal or not? Opinion of the thread?

The guy isn’t refusing service based on the person being trans. There are 5 billion different types of cakes that the guy would bake for any trans person that walked through his bakery door. Just not that particular type of cake.

This may be the first time I’ve ever sort of agreed with platinum on something. If China wanted to get top secret information they could use to cripple the country, they wouldn’t send a ****ing weather balloon. They’d just call Biden and ask for a status update. Or survey their spy network and assets throughout the democrat party.

I see what you did there...

But dragon queen proved himself to be a complete moron again. Just like the clown he is, he thinks these are animal balloons at the circus. An emp could easily be emitted from a balloon effectively bringing our strategic deterrence to a stop. Also, in many S American locations, balloons are used in lieu cell phone towers because of their low cost and movement.

US just became less secure today. This was different. They staged out of US lands. What is next? Stage bombers at these "farm lands"? The moronic left would cheer

But muh immutable traits!

Canada has complete control of its agriculture market to protect its farmers. Its very smart of them. They keep the market from being flooded or running out of supply. Because of this smaller farms can still exist and thrive. In the US about 80% of small farmers have been eradicated and adsorbed by corporate farming. The dairy industry is completely dead for small farmers because they spend about 2 bucks per gallon and sell it for a buck. The only thing farmers can make money on anymore is baling hay. Dems have tried for decades to push stronger agri tariffs and the GOP screamed we have to keep a free market.

I'm not sure about his presidential history track record, though, tbh.
