Did the “drone” have Faux News emblem on it’s side?
Smooth move, genius. Get a drone for Christmas and then think you’re clever flying it onto the White House grounds. You’ll spend most of the next two years or so trying to stay out of jail. It’s the gift that keeps on giving!
I’m so old, I remember back when people called “drones” operated by civilians “RC model airplanes.”
Oh, that’s cold, man.
