Does Trump and his supportors think that there are good and bad Chinies spy ballones?

When the Chinese spy balloon was first spotted in American air space Trump supporters were quick to point out that if Trump was still president he would of shot it down. And Trump was quick to post that Biden should shoot it down and if he was president that's what he would of done. Thing is there were 3 Chinese spy balloons in American air space during his term in office and he didn't order that they be shot down and his supporters didn't ask why he isn't shooting them down. So I think there is a double standard at play. Cheers!

What I found fascinating is how many people fell all over themselves to use this information to excuse the current administrations actions regarding the Chinese balloon.

I can't see how that is even remotely relevant other than a balm for left wingers to point their fingers at Trump and forget all about this.

@SumKindaMunster the only reason it’s relevant is because the right were all over Biden for waiting. It works both ways.

@Handfull1 Hm, so you think some childish finger pointing about what allegedly happened years ago has relevance to this event? How does whatever happened under Trump excuse Biden? If the situation was reversed and it was Trump saying the Obama administration did something similar would you care?

@SumKindaMunster maybe finger pointing is childish on both sides. Unfortunately it still happens!
SumKindaMunster · 51-55, M
@Handfull1 I would agree with that. Any response to my question as to why this is relevant?
Handfull1 · 61-69, F
@SumKindaMunsterI guess it’s called learning from example. Both sides do nothing but finger point. It’s why we’re in gridlock most of the time. You blame it on the left but in reality Trump’s verbiage caused a divide in this country like no other. Had little to do with his policies. He lived for childish behavior.

@Handfull1 So how is this:

any different from this:

[quote]Trump’s verbiage caused a divide in this country like no other. Had little to do with his policies. He lived for childish behavior.[/quote]

And again, I ask, why is this somehow relevant to Biden' behavior here? Different Presidencies, different times, different situations.

Additionally, it's coming out that the Trump administration was not even aware of this, apparently it came out after he left office.

@SumKindaMunster you win!!! If Trump gets in again, I don’t want to hear a thing about the past. Obviously history is not relevant in your world!
SumKindaMunster · 51-55, M
@Handfull1 Not what I said at all. Asking why Trump is relevant when it comes to questioning the current administrations actions on this. Why does it matter what he did or didn't due during his administration on this administrations actions regarding this event? Seems a little too easy and pointless to just say BUT TRUUUUUMP and leave it at that.

@SumKindaMunster do.

I would put in a neat little shaded box, but i don't know how...
SumKindaMunster · 51-55, M
@Carla Huh?
Carla · 61-69, F
@SumKindaMunster just pushing your buttons, herm.

You corrected the op's spelling. I just did the same...

"...what he did or didn't due"...
SumKindaMunster · 51-55, M
@Carla Ok, thank you. Gonna need to try a little harder to push my buttons than a grammatical error.....😂

Besides...I mean...3 spelling errors in the post title alone? WTH?
Carla · 61-69, F
@SumKindaMunster sometimes you have that...
TexChik · F
@SumKindaMunster Because its another lie.
SumKindaMunster · 51-55, M
@Carla I'm sorry what do I sometimes have?

Please just put it out there. If I am supposed to get what you are referring to, I am not.

Thank you.

@SumKindaMunster sometimes people, like the op, get to typing and forget to edit. Some are from other countries and translations get lost. Some people truly have difficulty with spelling.
Sometimes...you have that.

@Carla I'd like to think that if the issue is important to discuss with members, is it too much to ask that it be proofread before posting? A mistake here and there is fine, but when multiple spelling and grammatical errors jump out at you when you read it, it kinda makes it look like the details don't matter...in a political opinion post I would say the details matter a lot.

They forget to edit? Even after being reminded of the mistakes? Again, not a sign of someone who actually cares to discuss the issue they are posting.

Bottom line. This person is anti Trump shit poster, its not about capturing the details more so than it is to virtue signal and look for support amongst the community.
