    That is probably the most action she's had since Joe started hiding in the basement before the dead people got him elected.

    Don't confuse being an idiot with being brave. Both of those women have said and done some amazingly stupid things. Like Trump, who arguably had the best ability to craft policy and the strongest backbone in foreign matters as any President we will ever know, they say and do really stupid things. Like, low IQ things. They don't know or begin to understand some very fundamental ideals about government or policy. I am as conservative as they come for the most part, but I am not blindly conservative and will call out idiots in our party, and all three of the aforementioned do nothing but prove that many conservatives ignore ignorance if the individual is wearing red.

    Allegedly much smaller object (about the size of a small car) without a big payload.

    Circa Prudhoe Bay.

    Curious about the other 3 we’ve shot down over the weekend… they’re supposedly about the size of a geo tracker. Can’t imagine they’re ballon’s simply due to the fact that a geo tracker’s worth of helium would only lift a few lbs…

    On the other hand maybe we are witnessing a pissing contest between the NWS and NORAD. The national weather service does launch twice daily radiosonde balloons from like 90 different locations, but I think those are smaller… more Toyota Corolla than Geo Tracker.

    Word from an informed party I know, the weather balloons are registered.

    I did see there was some disconnect between the DOD officials and NORAD. Allegedly there was a bogie over Montana Sat night, per NORAD, DOD officials told congress otherwise. Sun, balloon 4 shot down over Lk Huron after closing airspace over Lk Michigan. Sure sounds like a FUBAR.
