The President Thinks We’re Idiots!

President Joe Biden. What does it mean when you say we shot down another high-altitude object?

I mean, what do you think we think when you say you shot down a second high altitude object. It’s a Balloon, right?

What do you take us for!?

Anything that isn’t maneuvering at a high altitude is a balloon or a cloud. This great nation of ours gave me a pretty good education and dang-nab-it, I’m going to use it!

Do clouds even go above 30,000 feet? If so, credit to every airline I’ve ever flown — not to take me through them and risk getting shot down.

You shot down a cloud? You can tell us. We all make mistakes.

Next question. You still don’t know whose object it is. Holymoly. Billions of dollars of our taxpayer money going into AWACs, satellites, drones, radio antennas, spies and you still don’t know A) it’s a balloon and B ) where it came from.

I’d like my money back.

I read in the New York Times, that you took “Direct and forceful action…blah blah blah…when some Republican Lawmakers….blah, blah, blah…” Wait, so when some other empty-suit politicians dare you to start World War III you’ll do it?

This feels SO familiar!

Fortunately, we have huge, powerful news organizations. Rabid for the truth! Fiercely independent! Demanding answers from the government. An object?

Listen, we don’t know if the air force is shooting down a dozen balloons a day. If it’s dropping poop bags over Montana. For all we know the whole air force spends most of its time driving around on motorcycles, like Tom Cruise, and walking the beach with the town’s hotties.

What is our bottom line take away here? Mine is, if you can’t tell the citizens you serve, what it is and where it came from, then don’t say anything. Like the gazillion other things you don’t tell us. I’m not interested in how you impress some Republican politician and his or her constituency.

That isn’t foreign policy. That’s jackassery.
