Clown show is kind

1. Reminds me of the movie "Idiocracy" (again)....

Where Luke ("Not Sure" ) is "escaping" prison and the machine guns on the outside of the prison shoot each other off the wall.

Once again, life imitates art in the Trump administration.

The U.S. has become "Idiocracy."

2. I guess drone season has started.

It's very nice that CBP is supplying something for hunters to practice on until duck season/wabbit season starts.

I wonder if you need a permit, and who would issue it.

3. Will hegseth claim it was really a Mexican cartel drone?

Or that his department has discovered evidence cbp is really working with the cartels? Or...or...something something something is the reason we shot it down?

8. The Right hand doesn't know what the Right hand is doing.

Not a typo.

10. Shot ourselves in the drone....

The FAA, CBP and the Pentagon issued a joint statement late Thursday that acknowledged the military “employed counter-unmanned aircraft system authorities to mitigate a seemingly threatening unmanned aerial system operating within military airspace.”

That's some A+ military mumbo-jumbo right there.

I wonder if Biden will have to pay us back for the CBP drone we just had to shoot down because of the lack of border protection that led the cartels to use drones to bring drugs over the border?

11. Wow. party drones (balloons?)? cbp drones? Wonder what is next.
