After this incident, everyone in MAGA will vow to only give their kids Chinese spy balloons and pop any happy birthday balloons they come across, just to make the libs cry.

I still maintain Trump saw Steve Carell's show, asked about our space force and was told we didn't have one.

They apparently couldn't knock down all the party balloons.

oh boy At this point cant tell difference from the gaslighting or the level of their stupidity

they are a clown show

FAFO, balloon. Mission accomplished!

OMG - This incompetence is going to get us all killed!

Frankly, I'm shocked by your post. The Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Clown College is attacking our country with balloon drones, and you're making jokes about it. 😐

Release the Trump-Epstein Files. Trump is an insane, racist, malignant narcissist and a disgusting pedophile. Stop the cover-up!

Well, at least there weren’t 99 of them, and they weren’t red.

How much did this shooting down of a party balloon cost, with the additional costs of closure of air space etc? #PamBondi

These fucking grifting fascists

Talk about a buzz-kill.

Are we sure there isn't a Venezuelan drug runner that was inside the balloon they shut down? Was the balloon launched from a fishing boat? Important questions!

That’s right Mexico, party time is OVER for your cartels!

🤣

Starboard bow, starboard bow, starrrrrrrr trekkkkkkkinnnnnnn LMAO

I feel safer every day.

KABOOO... pop. Well, it's nice when the usual GOP evil is replaced by basic incompetence. That's an improvement of sorts.

Chinese spay balloon🤣 It’s like they don’t realize there are satellites….

Save us from the balloons!🇺🇸

Bondi freaking out about a party balloon to distract from her full-bore Epstein/Trump coverup Anything to get her through this moment

She makes up every excuse in the world to protect a fucking child rapist. She is pathetic, and she needs to lose her fucking law license. She needs to be impeached and she needs to go to fucking prison for protecting a fucking child rapist and protecting fucking child predators!!!

So, what’s that got to be: a million bucks a pop?

What we witnessed today was institutional deconstruction in real time. Bondi refused to answer questions about murdered Americans and exploited victims. When called to account, she insulted the questioner. One side demolishes norms. The other negotiates their preservation. That asymmetry wins wars.

“Hear me out, though…”

no one's ever invited her to a party so she is unfamiliar with their accoutrements

Jesus Christ

Irony is dead, metaphor is dead, thus I am rendered practically mute. El Paso and New Orleans faced a ten-day no-fly order for something that "turned out to be a party balloon".

This tracks, considering the current clown show at the White House.

Even more ridiculous and outrageous than we thought. And that’s a high bar.

Underrated post. ^^^

The PENTAGON used military-grade weaponry on PARTY SUPPLIES and then everyone was too embarrassed to tell each other what happened so they just... stopped communicating entirely? That sadly tracks. 🤡

99 Luftballons anyone?

Yeah, but if it was...

Sadly hilarious.

We should feel grateful our skies are safe from invasion.

How do we know it wasn’t a “cartel balloon” that they kept from “rejoining the fight” hmmmmmmm??? (God this is embarrassing)

Army air defense…. Masters of Fratricide turn their Death Rays on party balloons. In public airspace. No wonder the FAA shut it down. Any situation where Air Defense is weapons free is hazardous to any airborne object, friend, foe, unknown or none of the above.

Why didn’t someone respond to Bondi with, “We are protecting America from you corrupt failed AG Bondi and your corrupt failed boss.”? STOP LETTING THEM SAY SUCH BS WITH NO COUNTER!!

Pardon me Ms Bondi, your incompetence is showing!

I hope every survivor starts naming names. How dare she try and minimize this!!!!

they don’t care about facts. “If I have to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people, then that’s what I’m gonna do,” vance

“We should be focusing On shooting down a party balloon, not President Trump raping children” is one hell of a hot take.

Someone is extremely paranoid.

"This is what we should care about right now" Bondi regarding party balloons, the dow etc. Obscenely rich people raping and trafficking children? Where does that rate on her "focus" theory? This woman is severely damaged

The war machine springs to life, opens up one eager eye

Oh my, Fort Bliss is literally connected to El Paso airport. Good Call to shutdown the airspace.

Thank God they're keeping us safe from the mylar menace.

Why does everything they do in this administration seem like one giant fuck up after another?

In fairness, party balloons can make whales, dolphins and other marine mammals die horrible deaths. Nevertheles, The problem is probably better solved by something other than AAA installations.

I'm still asking. Is Bondi on Coke? Got into Don Jr's stash? How can she remain so hyper,wired, rude,obnoxious and combatative for hours on end without fatigue? Did anyone take a look at her pupils?

Our geniuses in action 🙄

So, balloon launched at a Super Bowl party. Had an image of Bad Bunny on the side. Trump ordered it shot down and then Pete decided better to be safe than sorry and closed down the airspace. Mis-typed 10 hours as 10 days - alcohol can dull the senses - and there we were.

We are so embarrassing

There has never been a more incompetent government in the history of this country. Never.

In response to the circled question...Yeah... lil' bit.

Pam Bondi = 🤡 🤡 🤡 🤡 🤡 🤡 🤡 🤡 🤡 🤡 🤡 🤡 What an idiot!

I know what I'd be doing this weekend ...

our military cant tell the difference between a drone and a party balloon, better give them another trillion dollars.

Lolwut

They are sooooo incompetent.

Some "scoop"! A flight lockdown due to a party balloon you could read with binoculars. No lockdowns since 9.11 and dude simply forgot to mention it to anybody. And Jennifer Jacobs in her original "scoop" reported on @cbsnews.com casually refers to sources at the "DEPARTMENT OF WAR" Credible a.f.

Jeder war ein großer Krieger 😂😂😂

It's always the stupidest explanation.

When you hire a weekend FOX News host & he makes up his own Department of War.

That is LITERALLY the plot of 99 Red Balloons.

99 Red Balloons....

They popped my pretty balloons

Use alt text. It's as easy as copy paste and makes it so everyone can read what you post.

And this Keystone Kopz caper cost the taxpayers how much?

The entire government is completely inept. We should all be very concerned about how stupid the people in charge are right now.

Is this what we get when we build a Defense Department out of "As Seen On TV" characters?

Lol, true that! 😊 Guess it's all about using the right tool for the job!

Embarrassing.

The dumbest regime imaginable, yet it’s a reality

We got morons on our team

What would these idiots do if russia attacked them like they attack Ukraine every single day? Apart from die, obviously.

I had a panic attack over a party balloon this morning. My already anxiety-prone brain has been permanently rewired by their incompetence.

Party balloons: the dangerous scourge of both air travel and Mardi Gras parades www.nola.com/news/what-ca...

🤡🤡🤡

All the competent people quit so now all they are left with are idiots shooting party balloons.

PSA: Balloons blow, don't let them go!

They must have heard it was a quinceañera.

CBS said Bedford at the FAA closed it in a spat with the Pentagon without notifying the Whitehouse or DHS. 🤷🏽‍♀️

They're gearing up to justify an air strike on Mexico to take away attention from this.

We live in the dumbest of times. 🎈

People need to stop with these gender reveal events!

The balloon said Feliz Cumpleaños.

They gonna start a war for sure, just to get the Epstein files off the front page

But he tells the story where US military basically rolled into Juarez to go collect the missile. Full convoy, armored, did not ask permission, just went. This kind of reminds me of that except this is far stupidier and that story never made the press.

She’s beyond Florida corrupt

"Ninety-nine red balloons Floating in the summer sky Panic bells, it's red alert There's something here from somewhere else The war machine springs to life Opens up one eager eye Focusing it on the sky When ninety-nine red balloons go by"

Smdh

JFC

So…. It’s a War Party?

In British slang, they would have shot down a condom. Take that however you choose.

#MAKELYINGBADAGAIN

Shocking but not shocked by the ineptitude

Are these the infamous “space lasers” MTG was talking about?

In it's original German its called 99 Luftballons (air balloons) and tells basically the same story as the English version. Nina Hagen is without doubt a force of nature. I know it's late for Christmas Songs but even with the sound off this is extraordinary: www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCfm...

98 balloons now

Thanks -- this song will now replace "Rhinestone Cowboy," which has been playing in my head since a coworker mentioned it this morning.

"¿Tienes tiempo para mí? Entonces te cantaré una canción Sobre noventa y nueve globos Camino al horizonte ¿Quizás estás pensando en mí ahora mismo? Entonces te cantaré una canción Sobre noventa y nueve globos Y que algo así viene de algo así..."

Hegseth: Can we retrieve it?

🤦🏼‍♀️
