    So the narrative the other day was drug cartels were swarming the airport with drones and that’s why they had to shut it down.

    Was that a total fabrication to cover for this obvious false positive?

    Also answers my question for “How come nobody has drone bombed you-know-who yet?”

      Yes, this administration produces wild lies constantly.

      Just about everyone dislikes bureaucracy even if it is honest and trustworthy.

      On the other hand, everyone hates a lying and corrupt bureaucracy. I guess making everyone hate the government is code for MAGA.

      Make the government fail and then triumphantly point out you said it would fail. Yeah, because you fucking made it fail you dimwit.

        Orange McRapepedo can only chase the latest shiny trophy or bribe that gets dangled in front of pig eyes, but don’t mistake him for the incompetence of everyone. JD Couchfucker and the scum like him would absolutely continue dismantling the government, not out of stupidity but so they can sell off the broken scraps to the tech sociopath oligarchs.

        “Oh damn, looks like government healthcare doesn’t work, guess we should put Tim Apple in charge of iHealth. Looks like social security money isn’t being distributed efficiently, let’s set everyone up in Sauron Thiel’s Palantir database so things work more smoothly. Education results continue to decline after a pedo protector from the WWE couldn’t run things? Obviously Cuckerberg already has the infrastructure to get everyone into a controlled virtual learning environment, and recess can be spent playing games with loot boxes.”

          The Department of Misinformation wants to hear more about your Loot Box Learning program. After they merge with Roblox and Grok AI they are going to need visionaries like you. People who are not afraid to ask the tough question our children deserve to hear like was the Holocaust even real?

    Soooooo should counter protesters just release a bunch of mylar balloons to cause disruption? Publicly admitting that their tech/operators can’t discern between balloons and drones is… A choice.

      Ehh. I’m not seeing evidence that was in any way pointed at people. In the aftermath of the Ukrainian strikes on Russia’s strategic bombers it became quite apparent that leaving your air force out unprotected in your own country is a shortcut to losing a lot of it at once. The US Air Force has the same problem the Russian VKS had: lots of expensive planes out in the open scattered over a massive country that anyone can get drones or explosives into. This was near an airbase. While the drone identification bit needs work I don’t find the presence unreasonable

      🔊🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶

      Hast du etwas Zeit für mich Dann singe ich ein Lied für dich Von neunundneunzig Luftballons Auf ihrem Weg zum Horizont Denkst du vielleicht grad an mich Dann singe ich ein Lied für dich Von neunundneunzig Luftballons Und, dass so was von so was kommt

      You and I in a little toy shop Buy a bag of balloons with the money we’ve got Set them free at the break of dawn 'Til one by one they were gone Back at base bugs in the software Flash the message: “something’s out there!” Floating in the summer sky Ninety-nine red balloons go by

        “It’s all over and I’m standin’ pretty In this dust that was a city If I could find a souvenir Just to prove the world was here And here is a red balloon I think of you, and let it go”…

        Such a surprisingly depressing song if you’ve only heard the original and you don’t speak German
