    1. @alex tierney  They did go over the country though. And Trump either knew they existed and is lying, has forgotten because of his dementia, was such a massive incompetent idiot that his own intelligence and military agencies kept him in the dark, or was asleep at the wheel ignoring their briefings in a stunning act of dereliction of duty.

      You can pick how you think he fucked up, but it’s undeniable that he fucked up.

  1. I don’t quite get the logic . At first they were taking too long to shoot down the object and now it’s too early ? Which is it?

    1. It’s the exact same logic from 2 weeks ago…”oh, it looks like a spy balloon…let it fly across the whole continent”.

    2. @steviemercado2  When did he play the blame game? 2:29 He said he perfered the administration to be trigger happy. The more I read the comments. The more I think everyone didn’t watch the video.

    3. @Franklin maybe you should read the comment again ”   everyone has a habit of blaming the sitting president for everything that happens regardless of involvement in the matter.” This implies that I’m talking generally.

  2. Republicans: Upset when you don’t shoot the balloon. Upset when you shoot the balloon.

    Oh, and also upset that they can’t marry literal children

    1. @Smy  825 Republican lawmakers charged/convicted of grooming, abusing, luring and illegal images of little kids says otherwise. Do the actual research instead of lying to yourself and encouraging the harming of kids. Heck, you still can’t even grapple with the fact that the people you rely on for religious advice have been the most prevalent abusers of kids in history (Herp a durrrr Jesusssssss).

    2. The most disturbing part. Is not one Republican has argued we shouldn’t shoot it down. But I’ve probably read 200 comments by propagandist claiming Republicans didn’t want him to shoot it down. Even though at 2:29 he agreed we should have and can’t let our airspace be violated.

    3. @Franklin  The most disturbing part is the fact that Republicans have a concerning tendency to be attracted to little kids, while yelling that everyone else is attracted to little kids. Now in regards to your statement, the concern is using wording that infers the other party is reckless and dangerous (“Trigger Happy”), while agreeing with what they did, causing unnecessary anger and infighting within our country.

      Also, 3,127 comments on this channel alone? Sweet Russian Orthodox Jesus, get a new job bud.

    4. I’m just wondering why the Republicans didn’t offer any “thoughts and prayers” to the poor balloons.

      They were shot after all, and the Republicans like to see things shot.

  3. *First he’s weak for not shooting the first balloon now he’s “trigger happy.” GOP flip flops more than a fish..*

  4. Brother you got a set of big ones If the president hesitate is wrong and now trigger happy You are doing his election more easy Keep the good work

  5. Every House member on gun legislation should be quoting Mike Turner (R-OH). “Mike Turner is right. America is trigger-happy.” … “Mike Turner said it best….” … “I would like thank Mike Turner for speaking truth to power…”

  6. Mr high and mighty Mike Turner has a legislative office staff of 25-30 and probably just as many staff for his Intelligence Committee. If the FBI were to search the premises of all those people, How many classified documents do you think they would find?

    1. Too many! And people like Maggot Traitor Goon are very likely sharing all of that information with Trump and anyone else they can.

  7. The GOP really ought to wait more than 10 days before completely flip flopping on their stance. Their voter base isn’t too bright, but I’d wager even they’ll catch onto this inconsistent blame game soon if it keeps at this pace

    1. No they won’t. Republican MAGA Extremist Base will just deny the fact’s even when it’s all neatly laid out for them. These people and their Congressional Representatives are delusional and they hate America so very much!

  8. First balloon: should’ve shot it down sooner over Alaska
    Second object shot down over Alaska: you’re trigger happy…wtf
    Like teenagers

  9. Mike Turner seems upset that America is making the right decision, unhappy that the guy that played golf is not making the calls.

  10. Of course! First the President is “negligent”, and then he’s “trigger-happy” in identical incidents. GOP, you’re so beyond credible, I’d be embarrassed to waste the time to record this clown!

  11. Imagine the nerve of Biden and Trudeau acting to protect the airspace of North America, as quickly and safely as possible, and not consulting with Turner or Green.

  12. “The defense industries, that, when combined, were the biggest donors to my last campaign, need more taxpayer dollars.” -Rep. Mike Turner

  13. What?!? Is it me or did everything Turner say sound like gibberish? These reporters are so patient with these troubled people. ❤
