move along, no intelligence here.

timely! A “Not Helpful” balloon!

Gonna need something a lot bigger than a pool skimmer.

It’s times like this I wish I had a sling shot!

She must have a lot of “vital intelligence info” at her disposal.

What’s wrong with you that you need a guy to bring it down?

Quick! Get the air rifle.

The “Balloon thing” has given a lot of cartoonists a new lease on humor.

Call for an F-16 with a Sidewinder missile.

What vital intelligence?!

It takes a LOT of holes to bring those large balloons down. But one well placed shot can put an end to the spying electronic system.

$2.00 dollar balloon… $400,000 dollar missile.

I think I’m almost somewhat maybe possibly reasonably confident, that sump’n is goin’ on here!

If you look at all the woke culture around now, I don´t think they were gathering “intelligence”!

Balloon computing….nothing of value here….

For a long time US and Them have been trying to control the weather. Keep an open mind, has as anyone thought someone IS controlling the weather? There were 3 balloons several years ago also, (During trump), not shot down. We’ve been having weird weather, for 5 plus years, that THEY blame on global warming!

If that’s bleep in window, he looks scared! :°

The balloon could probably see the same picture from 60,000 feet.

But it was only gathering weather information! Yeah, that wat it was, um hum,right.

lots of these jokes floating around

Don’t do it, let the government do it, otherwise the FFA will be on your case with a hefty fine and possible jail time.

Impressively almost-topical

Vitals information: 36-24-36

Baaah nothing to worry about. It’ll just take a selfie and update my TikTok profile

Don’t worry girly, there’s no intelligence there…

At first, Bleeb thought it was the Mother Ship coming to pick him up.

If she flashed the balloon, it would be filed under Top Secret.

“You’re gonna need a bigger skimmer!”

How very appropriate.

…& blame Biden (& Hunter’s laptop.)

And wouldn’t you know, my order of Stinger missiles haven’t arrived yet, Darn you Amazon.

Your dad-bod and beer gut hardly qualify as “vital intelligence.”

Where’s Billy and his 22 when you need him…
