I won’t be watching, either. The ones I despise more are the RINOs who support him and spit on us.

Next time they will just try a person in absentia and then carry out the sentence via drone with hellfire missiles.

so these drones are being used to watch cow farmers in flyover land?

yes, to make sure that the land they are being paid not to plant (insanity) isn't being planted

Bro is a good Christian conservative man who take his job seriously and used the resources at his disposal. He got the job done. I do believe his Dad was a flaming liberal tho. He was an air traffic controller fired by Ronald Reagan for striking a no strike contract.

Trying to make sense of this. What’s a CBP and a AUS? Or whatever?

He should be thankful they didnt have any hellfire missiles on the drone that day.

Better dead than Red or that torture death in the Gulag.

I think it’s Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) and Army of the United States (AUS).

I think...

There I was completely wasting, out of work and down
All inside it’s so frustrating as I drift from town to town
Feel as though nobody cares if I live or die
So I might as well begin to put some action in my life

Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law

UAS stands for Unmanned Aircraft Systems, the term used by the FAA for drones.

CBP is Customs and Border Protection. The drones come from the Office of Air and Marine, but the original purchase was started by legacy Border Patrol.

How much does it cost to operate a drone?
Would be curious to know, if anyone is out there in military
