Last night as the celebrated Chinese weather balloon or whatever was floating high above Missouri, Senator Josh Hawley (Suburban D.C.) joined the freaked out chorus of MAGA voices in demanding that President Biden scramble the F-18s or launch an ICBM or SOMETHING! to bring it hurtling to Earth to unknown consequences.
I mean if it is full of deadly pathogens as suggested by Jesse Watters on Fox News, such a course of action would be extremely ill advised.
And if Kari Lake and Ohio Senator J.D. Vance are poised to bring it down with their deer rifles, isn’t there a chance these two fine public servants might be clobbered by balloon debris?
But one time Democratic Senate hopeful Jason Kander thinks Hawley is just afraid that his constituency might find out the balloon spent more time in Missouri airspace than Josh has spent on the ground there since elected.
The replies are lit:

A hand gun for a target 50,000 feet away. Gosar is some shot 🙄
Not till Josh Holly is aboard

Did you see this on someone's Twitter post? Josh Hawley should investigate this. pic.twitter.com/kycz8XFnim

Yup
Why doesn’t Josh do the manly thing and strap himself to a pursuit balloon with an assault rifle and intercept that spy balloon and shoot it down?

Well don’t get carried away. I moved thru as fast as I could. You could use a new mall.

@HawleyMO didn’t pay attn in those f-i-n-e MO schools. Duh, that object is 12 miles high. If you’re afraid you can always run away. I hear you’re pretty good at running.

Yup
It should be over your home in Virginia, Josh, why aren’t you out there in your backyard with your 30 ought 6?
Surely you’re not gonna let J.D. cuck ya.
IT IS BAAALLOOON!!!!! F Troop…the old timers will remember.
To make it really good: Biden authorized the shoot-down on Wednesday, before the Rs started freaking out about the thing.
Aren’t the R’s usually a dollar short and a day late with EVERYTHING?!?!?
