When Elon Musk restored a bunch of suspended accounts, we saw the return of the Krassenstein brothers. There’s no blue check here, so either Brian hasn’t paid the $11 or this is a parody — but he’s always been hard to tell from parody. We’ve already given you hot takes from Bill Kristol and David Axelrod, so here’s one more: how about comparing the Chinese spy balloon to the COVID pandemic?

Which is it? A “stupid weather balloon” or a “Chinese spy ballon [sic]”? Even President Biden showed some mild concern, allowing the balloon to complete its mission of traversing the entire continental United States before shooting it down over the Atlantic. Biden certainly wouldn’t have shot down some stupid weather balloon. And this has what to do with COVID?
Oh Brian

Bad take.

Not exactly a weather balloon but yeah.

If the virus had taken a week to slowly float across the ocean and could’ve been stopped by an F-22, then yes these are comparable.

And both came from the same country..

They knew about this Chinese spy balloon since January 28th yet did not inform the public and decided to let it just float freely across the US. That is just as concerning.

An EMP device floating over 3 nuclear missile launch sites is no big deal, says Krankenstein brothers

No sweat, Brian. This is only a test run for their next virus delivery system.

I’m trying to figure out why it says “dismantling division” on your profile when you are making silly tweets like this. The entire country should be concerned about this thing floating around regardless of political affiliation.

If it were a weather balloon limp wrist, the Chinese government would have notified us. It just so happened to hover over military bases as well. I’m sure the jet stream coincidentally stagnated there.

I can’t speak to all Republicans but my concern is a “weather” balloon coming from the same place the virus came from

I knew this account was a Chinese state propaganda account.

How many Americans died from COVID, now that they’ve admitted to overcounting and decided that was a problem?
