He's afraid of balloons... They might contain more foul hot air than he does, and he always has to be the biggest, and mostest.
But on that same thought line.... Maybe we should have sent Stormy Daniels up to visit the balloon. Rumor has it she could have it deflate in under 2 minutes, and get paid 30K for doing it......

They don’t exist. The earth is flat.

I still want to know what's on the other side, if it's flat. Is it a bunch of roots? Where does the water go if there's no bottom?

I still want to know what's on the other side,

China..... duh

Would be nice to know exactly what the balloon was doing

Ummm.... Looks like it was drifting around in the wind?

Cheerist, am sure China was begging them to just shoot the silly damn thing out of the sky, starting since many days ago!

Chinese fly a surveillance balloon across the entire USA for days proving to the world they can treat the USA like a bitch.

Yeah, the USA would never do anything like that to any other nation, ever....

Was outside again just now, with binoculars. Still couldn't spot any weather balloons but will keep everyone posted when I check again.

Maybe this summer if I remember to.
