Somewhere Balloonboy is smiling:
House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer to Fox News: "My concern is that the federal government doesn't know what's in that balloon. Is that bioweapons in that balloon? Did that balloon take off from Wuhan?" pic.twitter.com/0r9JmBl4zo

Mock Paper Scissors 
Anyone remember the third episode of the 1984 sci-fi miniseries V: The Final Battle? How the Resistance used hot air balloons to distribute the “red dust” bacteria into the planet’s food and water chain to make Earth useless to the Visitors? It’s further proof that not only do Trumplicans get all their ideas from movies and TV shows, they’re all old ideas. What a bunch of licknobs.

Remember when Saddam Hussein’s balsawood planes gave everybody anthrax? It was worse than the Bowling Green Massacre.

This one reminds me of the big Alien Chinese Seeds Scare just a few years back. Remember that one? We were supposed to turn them in to local law enforcement. I never got one of those seed packets. I’m not happy about this balloon either, but these Q freaks are just loving this, it is a paranoid fantasy.
Before that it was renegade scary clowns. Remember that? They were showing up everywhere. Matter of fact, they still are.

Maybe this will get their minds off the drag queens.

Not likely…we have one trying to declare any drag performance ‘obscene’.
Gonna be awkward the next time our local PBS station runs “Some Like It Hot” for their “Hollywood at Home” film some weekend.

Sadly Senator
SadsackWadsack is from Tucson. SHE is the person who beat the Republican incumbent who arranged his district be redrawn to help buttress it’s R numbers, presuming he’d get re-elected. Surprise! The MAGAt won the primary and thanks to the “Independent” Redistricting commission she won.(which ex-Gov Doug “Il Deuce” Ducey stacked with a “Independent” chair who used top be a Repunlican until about 5 minutes before he appointed her.)
Now I’m hardly one to looks-shame, but tell me this isn’t a picture of “That crazy lady screaming at the City Council meeting about Chinese G5 towers polluting our precious bodily fluids”
Her official campaign picture, folks. The Aristocrats!

If Israel were a true ally they would blast that balloon out of the sky with their Jewish Space Laser.

The commie plot was documented in the 1956 film, “The Red Balloon.”

sure, we have no idea where it came from or what it’s actually for but it’s always bring out the guns and shoot it down. don’t care what damage it might do but, yeah, shoot first, think about any potential damage later. i’m pretty sure the nra is drooling.

I can not post anything here other than text but Beau of the Fifth Column has a good video up about this very subject. I usually feel better about any freak out after I hear his take on it. I certainly trust him more than that mental defective, Come. Boy, is he a piece of scum and hatred.

That should be “mental defective, Comer.” I guess I am a little defective my own darn self!

It flew over my part of the world yesterday evening and the rubes were howling at it. It’s changing direction which of course means it’s being steered. It’s just a coincidence that it’s also tracking with the jet stream. I was very tempted to cast aspersions on their asparagus but knew better than to pop their balloon.
