@mott-the-hoople saidWhere do you come up with this BS?
China didnt want it destroyed. the biden admin was keeping it covered up until a weather service spotted it.
Homeland security didnt even know about it.
NORAD, not "a weather service" spotted it. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/timeline-a-chinese-spy-balloon-s-7-day-trip-across-the-united-states/ar-AA1785Rf
Well, little Mott the big, bad balloon is gone now, so you can change your man diaper and carry on.
@no1marauder saidyes norad knew of the balloon 4 days prior to citizens actually SEEING it...Norad didnt notify anyone, not even homeland security. the cover up was over when the public could see it for themselves...

@mott-the-hoople saidNo, it's senseless talking to an idiot like yourself.

There was no "cover up" and one Republican politician on the Homeland Security Committee isn't the Department of Homeland Security.
@no1marauder saidMarauder, did anyone consider shooting it down immediately as would have Trump? Yes they did, but under the compromised situation Biden will forever be in, he had to call China and ask their permission to shoot it down, it takes a while to get Xi on the phone
No, it's senseless talking to an idiot like yourself.

@no1marauder saidYou and son house always seem to know the inside scoop. He too probably says that there was no cover-up. How do y’all know that? Do you know any horses that will win at the race track on Saturday?
No, it's senseless talking to an idiot like yourself.

@no1marauder saidthere is no sense in lying to me I get the news too.

The one politician you refer to is the HEAD of homeland security, he was not notified at any time, no governors were notified.
you sound like a chinese sympathizer.

Three similar balloons crossed into US airspace when Trump was President; none were shot down "immediately" or otherwise. And China, far from giving permission to shoot this one down, bitterly protested.
@no1marauder saidthat is not true, it has been debunked

@no1marauder saidmayorkas answers to the committee
He's the head of the Committee, not of the Department of Homeland Security.
@mott-the-hoople saidDebunked by whom? It's from an official DoD statement:
that is not true, it has been debunked
"The official said Chinese balloons briefly transited the continental United States at least three times during the prior administration. "

@no1marauder saidThe first clear lie that I have seen you put on the Forum. I am watching, as I sit here, John Ratcliffe, Former Director of National Intelligence, who says uncategorically that there has never been any such device from any country ever over our country. No record, no evidence, pure speculation.

Google his interview by Maria Bartiromo today, Sunday, 10AM. Do you know more than he does, or, is he lying and putting his reputation on the line?
@averagejoe1 saidRatcliffe's "reputation" doesn't exist. He briefly held the DNI job after being a far right Congressman and used that position solely to try to enhance Trump's re-election chances.
