Wag the Dirigible

I have nothing to add to the emerging coverage of DOD’s shootdown of the Chinese spy ballon over Myrtle Beach.

Here’s a great thread from WaPo’s Dan Lamothe.

But I thought I’d make a post where we can all talk about the insanely stupid takes from Republicans.

Also, quite frankly, because I wanted to beat the stupid Republicans to the punch in suggesting that Biden shot down the balloon — AKA Chinese drone — to distract from Hunter Biden’s dick pics, or some such claim.
