I’ll bet the lie about ‘balloons under Trump’ was put out by the ‘51 Intelligence Goons’ who said Hunter’s laptop was Russian disinformation.

But the sheeple buy the story.

That’s why we’re sunk as a country.

Stephen Neukam needs to reveal his “Senior Defense Dept” source immediately.

Partner, we agree with your answer.

Obama is running the show since he could destroy the USA but he did pretty good job.

All you have to do is look at this Balloon.

It could have been destroyed in Alaska for crying out loud.

The sheep swallowed it hook, line, and sinker. Like they did the line that if you wore the mask[face diaper] the universe would be saved.

Former spy chief John Ratcliffe denies reports that China
sent three balloons under Trump

It doesn't matter how strongly denied by those in the know,
the ignorant masses swallow hook, line, and sinker.

Firm in their belief of democrat spewed propaganda.

Say what you will of Trump—BUT he would never have permitted a spy balloon, aircraft or Drone to fly over the USA.

Doesn’t matter. The Left lies again, gets a soundbite out to protect a Democrat and it will probably work as people are ignorant.

It never happened.

Perhaps they did and perhaps they didn't. The only way we will ever know know is for congress to demand that the DOD explain why they failed to notify the previous administration of the incursions.

Who was responsible for the non disclosure of critical real time national security information being disclosed to the appropriate chain of command?

Something tells me their story will change. The only way to play this game is to see who's standing when the music stops. Its time to turn off the music.

” Biden regime has no compunction about releasing false information”
They said 3 balloon because the bigger the lie the more readily it will be believed.

The lie makes it halfway around the world before the truth can pull up its pants.

The lie is all that matters and will be the only thing people hear. It will be spread widely while the refutation will be buried.

I would bet everything I own the story was made up by the Lame Stream Media to give Biden cover. Shades of the fake Russia memo.

Implies the plural, as in more than one official, but doesn’t name a single one.

Does say there were intrusions over the continental US during the Trump admin, but says never for this length of time. What is left unsaid was if those intrusions were reported outside the immediate command or commands that detected them or were dismissed as accidental, etc.
