"Marked Safe from…"
Well, there goes my original meme…Kek!
"You did see reports yesterday of a ground stop at Billings Airport and the mobilization of a number of assets, including F-22. The context for that was that we put some things on station in the event that a decision was made to bring this down while it was over Montana. So we wanted to make sure we were coordinating with civil authorities to empty out the airspace around that potential area. But even with those protective measures taken, it was the judgment of our military commanders that we didn't drive the risk down low enough.
So we didn't take the shot,"
Hmmm…do we even HAVE a Balloon countermeasure?
"An Accidental, Unauthorized, Erroneous, or Deliberate Attack by China"
However, at present the probability that China would launch an accidental, unauthorized, or erroneous attack against
US territory is essentially zero because
all Chinese ICBMs capable of reaching the United States apparently have
their warheads and fuel stored separate
from the missiles.14

So we can give lethal weaponry to Ukraine but we can’t shoot down a balloon over Montana?
Joe Biden is so weak.

Today, we celebrate 30 years of the FMLA.
And in that same breath, we acknowledge that we're still one of the only countries in the world that doesn’t guarantee paid leave.
I remain committed to passing a national paid family and medical leave program.

And of course, Biden's latest posts make no mention of the balloon.
