It wasn’t ever a thing.
Another drone rain. (This time in South Carolina.)
Trump claims the drones were authorized, & non-hostile.
This is very clever dissimulation, a lie that succeeds because it tells part of the truth.
The Whitehouse spokesperson, Karoline Leavitt, said this.
Note that she only talks about the drones, and she says (correctly) that they were either authorised or that they were hobbyist or recreational drones. Both of these statements are true (there may have been a few people flying drones in unauthorised areas, but some or most of these were apprehended).
Leavitt does not even mention the incontrovertible fact that most of the objects filmed during this recent ‘flap’ (probably more than 95% of them) were not drones at all, but were misidentified commercial aircraft flying into and out of the local airports. By choosing not to mention the misidentifications, she is validating all the members of the public who went out and filmed airliners for several nights running. I suspect this might be because the plane-filmers are the voter base for her party.
Is that a transcription error or did she really say that?
A transcription error of some sort. She actually said Oval Office, of course.
I hate it, that the level of incompetence in this maladministration is so high that the possibility of her really saying it even existed.
So, the drones really were unauthorized and hostile? Huh.
I have chosen to use the word “regime” in lieu of “administration”. It seems to fit better.
I like your coinage too.
While this was going on late last year, the US was at war with the Yemeni Orbs.
