With some of the better known politicians, it would backfire. The weight of a basket full of human excrement would be more than enough to offset the heat, and the balloon would guarantee it going down into the basket.
I remember hearing once that the reason Buffalo, NY has such bad weather is that it’s the point where the cold air from Canada meets the hot air from Washington.
Early in my career, I was in charge of building the first exhaust nozzle for a new jet engine. We were ahead of schedule, but the rest of the engine (called the gas generator) was running late. I asked if, since the only purpose of a gas generator was to generate hot air for the nozzle to convert into thrust, would it made sense to test our product by hooking it up to the U.S. Capitol.
You know, folks, if everyone feels compelled to respond to a troll’s idiotic innuendo or outright lie, it promotes it to the day’s featured comment, where it’ll be the only one that 90%of the visitors to this strip ever see.
The one that went the highest was George Santos’. It went so high it was mistaken for a Chinese weather balloon and shot down. (if only) (He’ll probably brag about being shot down)

Make sure that they are high enough, to get the job done, before you shoot them down.

They could probably just bottle the stuff in Washington and spray it around as needed. For a small fee, of course.

I’m guessing that is Sen. Lindsay Graham-Cracker!

With all of the security the White House is supposed to have, they can’t figure out when and who, or at least when? That is scary.

I am surprised they aren’t filling that balloon with farts!!

There was a movie about a city floating in the clouds. Amazing that DC hasn’t taken off.

how come there are areas of the WH that do NOT have a camera watching…..seems kind of odd.

We now know the real reason for global warming. Bovine manure contains a lot of greenhouse gasses.

I have evidence, that cocaine was leftover from one of Don Jr.s b-day parties.

It was a wack job Maga… After all, MTG lead the insurrectionists on a tour the day before so they would know exactly where to go…

The problem isn’t all the hot air. It’s all the BS. Drop trou’ congressman and off load some ballast and you’ll hit the moon.

And no one has brought this up as the real cause of global warming???

Have him speak about his party’s position on climate change. If that doesn’t put them in orbit, nothing will.

Cocaine and Hunter? My, what a clever retort. Investigation was able to limit the number of suspects to about 500, none named Biden.

How did this strip elicit responses on the West Wing cocain find? I don’t see the connection. Must be conspiracy theorists.
