Anyway if your were a Rocket builder back in the past Estes Rockets ,Was what a young man had,if he mowed enough yards he could buy a kit.Elmer's glue some sand paper,and maybe some paint,5 or 6 hrs you had your Rocket. We didn't have fancy launch pads, We used mom's wire coat hanger bent straight with dads pliers.A beer can cut in halve was our heat shield. No fancy electronic launch system. We had a green waterproof fuse you stuck up into the ass end of a solid fuel rocket motor. C-6-7, C-6-5, And if you wanted to chase a parachute C-6-3 .It was the best of times.

Good thing Trump is no longer in charge and degrading the US military with his Mussolini imitation.

Too bad bumblebutt Biden is in charge because he has caused the actual degradation of the US military by his actions. That's far more damaging than some meme.

200 million dollar aircraft sent aloft to use its 472 thousand dollar missiles to shoot down “unidentified” targets. UNIDENTIFIED for chrissakes! They don’t even know who it belongs too, what it is or what it was doing. I and everyone I know was trained to identify your target and have a justifiable reason before pulling the trigger.

Quote:

WASHINGTON – President Joe Biden said Thursday that three unidentified flying objects shot down last weekend over North American airspace were "most likely" balloons tied to private companies or research institutions, not part of China's surveillance spy balloon operation.

WTH? It never occurred to Sleepy Joe to make sure he knew what it was he were shooting at? Buffoon in office. Who can’t control the baffoons in his chain of command.

Quote:

Asked whether he had ruled out an extraterrestrial origin for three floating objects shot down by warplanes in as many days, Gen. Glen VanHerck, head of US North American Aerospace Defense Command and Northern Command said: “I’ll let the intel community and the counterintelligence community figure that out.”

“I haven’t ruled out anything,” added VanHerck, head of US North American Aerospace Defense Command and Northern Command.

Well ladies and gentleman there ya have it, if we are ever visited by advanced alien life forms from another planet. The plan is to shoot first and ask questions later, kill them all before they land. Oh yes, leadership is sooo much better now.

It’s disappointing that our current commander in chief doesn’t have the wherewithal to stop for a moment, think, and prevent stupid sheet like this from happening. He is the one in charge isn’t he?

He caught so much heat for allowing the Chinese balloon to traverse the U.S. before dealing with it the first time, he ended up jumping the gun on the others.

I may be wrong, but it is my understanding that the people that operate these type of balloons are required to notify the FAA when, where, these balloons are launched, and give regular location updates when they are in the air.

Honestly, I think that his "advisors" are the one's making the decisions, and Biden is just told what he should say on the matter in public. The explanations and statements coming from the "Whitehouse Press Secretary" pretty much points in that direction.

Meanwhile, Trump is being supoenaed to testify in a Proud Boys trial while FOX News is shown to have a pile of internal communications between upper management and the likes of Carlson proving they knew the election fraud claims were BS.

Meanwhile Blue anon vs Qanon battle is the important b.s. headline of the day ‘ooo look, trump got subpoena today tee hee hee. You know the idiotic pointless stuff for the brain dead. Oh ya don’t forget about the ‘balloons are dangerous threat, must destroy’ that seems to be a big important headline too.

But goddamn if something as tightening up rail road safety, cleaning up toxic waste & spills, protecting citizens from poison & cancer, demanding public servants actually serve the public. Nothing heard but crickets.

Here in the news it has been said that he has left the hospice to end his days with his love ones around him. That he has stopped the treatment he has been given.
