The real power in this country; it still lies with us

My wife, who is the most apolitical person I know, saw the balloon story on the news today and asked me….”Why doesn’t the government do something?”
I told her because Biden and the Dems are traitors to this country.
And she said to me, “You have been saying that for a long time, now I believe it’s true”

Respectively, I disagree. It would take no time to lock the whole country down, and in the worst case scenario all TPTB would have to do is pull the plug on the internet and/or the power grid.
The ensuing mayhem would be met with Martial Law and whatever additional means required.
We're decades past restoring our country by force.

So you would shoot down something that could possibly contain who knows what over your country you are sworn to protect?
Just wait till it passes over to see what happens next before you start making accusations.
You are being lied to. Let me repeat... YOU ARE BEING LIED TO.

He knows that but he doesn’t care, he supports those traitors.

This stupid government started tracking this thing weeks ago... they could have EASILY shot it down over northern Alaska, before it got to CONUS. I worked on F-16s weapons systems as a profession; one minimally armed F-16 could EASILY take this thing down. It would not plummet at a "meteoric rate" as the government claims... those balloons act as parachutes slowing the descent. You are being lied to. Let me repeat... YOU ARE BEING LIED TO.
