When President Joe Biden visited Michigan back in May, he test-drove an electric Ford F-150. Asked by a reporter if he could ask a foreign policy question before Biden hit the gas, Biden told him, “No you can’t, not unless you get in front of the car before I step on it. I’m only teasing.”
Biden was back in Michigan Tuesday, and he seemed to have the same energy, telling the press corps to be careful because he was learning to fly drones, according to the AP’s Jonathan Lemire.

Context would be a super cool thing to add here considering you had plenty of room to do so! He’s literally being shown a demo how to use these small drones for commercial use in this warehouse he is in. Way to get rage clicks though!

Still …
Biden killed innocent people, including children, with a drone strike less than a month ago. https://t.co/p07B2p4xFp

"Why should some airman have all fun wasting civilians, I want some of the action," he elaborated.

Not great timing considering the deadly drone strike in Afghanistan.
He has a penchant for foot-in-mouth

Given recent events, this is a rather cruel quip.

So he's already forgotten about the 7 young children he killed in a botched drone attack??

What a horrible thing to say.

The drone strike that killed civilians and a bunch of kids is still fresh so yeah, this “joke” is in extremely poor taste from someone who was marketed as empathetic.

See. It's funny cause he droned and killed some kids a couple weeks ago, right after he stranded Americans in a country he let terrorists take over. Comedy.

There is no context that would resolve the absolute moronic statement from a man who just drone struck an innocent family w/7 children. It's called reading the room (or in this case, knowing who's watching and using decorum)

What a thing to say after murdering citizens including young children with a drone so as to not look weak.

All the Dem bots be like 'Put it in context!'. Context is in the lack of humanity with a sentence like that.

Even in context, it was a very Joe Biden thing to say.
