As usual, every failure this administration experiences they blame on Trump. 

A tale as old as time itself.
He learned from obama blaming GWB for 8 years. The progressives accepted it then, they will now and will well into the future.

This isn’t believable at all. Our “intelligence” would have leaked it to many of the MSM and it would have been a non-stop news cycle.

It would have been fodder for yet another Trump impeachment. Absolutely no way the swamp didnt seek this out and capitalize on it for their un-American agenda.

My TDS tells me it makes perfect sense if you don’t think about it.

Trump blamed previous admins (D and R) for not protecting our border, kowtowing to China. That's hardly in the same league as what's happening here.


Don't be that guy.

Geee. I wonder what was that idiot Trump doing while he was president??

Oh yeah. He was busy leading a country losing its collective mind over the worst pandemic IN HISTORY all while being impeached several times over. Meanwhile his own intelligence community was spying on him while the military was talking to China behind his back!

But, yes. Orange Man didn’t see big China balloons. Shame on him.

It was operating during the previous administration, but they did not detect it. We detected it. We tracked it. And we have been carefully studying it to learn as much as we can," he added.

I wonder why they are shooting missiles at these things. Poke some fricking holes in it and bring it down mostly intact. Seems like that is the tact one would take if you were serious about gathering intelligence.

Blowing the damn thing to hell is basically destroying evidence.

Sooooo you knew they had this program in place early on, and yet created no plan on what to do when they deployed it? Sounds like they left out how letting them succeed with traversing the entire nation and collecting data was a part of the Biden admins "learn as much as we can about their plan" plan. These people are seriously ridiculously stupid.

We need some receipts on this early Biden command and work or didn't happen.

You aren't physically hitting it. Just detonate close enough for the energy of the explosion to tear up the balloon.
