Let's Bet! Who will be the 1ST Retrumplican to ask why we didn't wait until it was over

water before we shot it down so we could retrieve it?

and

Who will be the 1ST "journalist" to report this as "news"?

My money is on Marco "Little" Rubio and Andrea Mitchell

God love Mrs. Max who poked her head in and said: "frozen water is ice".

My God, I hope the debris didn't hit a seal, or polar bear. Faux news would ride that like a Hunter Biden laptop with an email risotto recipe from Hillary Clinton on it.

I really need to stop afternoon drinking.

The question that maybe it was manned is new.

as a journalist. They obviously do not even listen to what is being told to them, let alone ask a relevant question. The unmanned object was shot down over frozen water (likely a lake) because it was at 40,000 ft which is a danger to other air traffic. I thought the guy was quite clear but they keep asking stupid questions.

is that every obit writer, in some local community neighborhood newsletter, now thinks they are just one blockbuster headline away from stardom.

"Here's my chance to takedown a president."
