- junofan 4y agoAs a citizen, I’d love to hear from President Joe Biden on this issue. Would be great if he’d answer a few questions as well.
- jdlshore 4y agohttps://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/ https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/ Scroll down to the press briefing. It’s not literally Joe Biden, but it’s his mouthpiece making statements and answering more than a few questions (and being surprisingly playful) on many issues, including this one.
- panarky 4y agoThe only thing they know for certain is that they're not aliens, though it's curious how they can be so certain of that when they don't know anything else about the objects.
- jdlshore 4y agoBecause they don’t think it’s possible. (I agree.)
- junofan 4y agoThat website is great. Would love to hear from the President himself on this issue that’s dominated the national conversation for over a week. Would be excellent if he’d answer a few questions as well.
- jdlshore 4y agoThe briefing from the 13th (now on the second page of that site) was extremely detailed and focused on this topic. Worth reading if you’d like to know more. But be prepared for a fair amount of “we don’t know yet.” The question you raised (“can we hear directly from the President?”) does get asked, although the answer is basically “we can’t speak for the President’s speaking schedule, but he’s closely involved in the decision making.” Personally, I don’t see what hearing from Biden directly would add.
- junofan 4y agoExcellent. Would love to hear from the Commander in Chief on incursions into our airspace. Would be great if he answered questions, considering many people have them. Would be amazing to hear from the person we voted for who is the final decisionmaker for these decisions about national security. Edit: Coming from a military family, and given that military action has been taken, I strongly believe the American people should be hearing from their Commander in Chief. I don’t accept John Kirby’s excuses. Joe Biden should be the person talking about military action taken against a geopolitical rival, not John Kirby.
- tchock23 4y agoWere the latest ones confirmed to be from a geopolitical rival? Biden did talk about the confirmed Chinese balloon.
- Reubachi 4y agoCaveat: if you come from a military family you know what the president says in press briefs is to satisfy media, not disseminate information. For obvious reasons. Regardless, the president DID brief about the original incident. Is what you're trying to convey that you would feel safer or more validated if there where continued briefings for the other objects? No point for CIC to put egg on his face to the entire geopolitical landscape by saying "we shot down some US domestic commercial balloons".
- ecf 4y agoYou’re being trolled. Just stop responding to Peyton who obviously knows nothing about how White House communications work.
- ecf 4y agoHow many times did Trump get in front of a camera to answer questions the citizens had about Covid? Nobody cares that you’re from a military family. It adds absolutely no weight to your requests.
