When I read the story today, I though maybe it was something from The Onion - or maybe I should check my calendar to see if it was April 1. We're making a Space Force.
The latest lunatic idea from the Trump Administration is called Space Force, which is an idea that would have been turned down by every producer of 1980s television, but is somehow relevant in his "Us Against the Universe" idea of government.
As though it wasn't bad enough that he is a white-supremicist Nationalist, he has to go a step (or a Giant Leap) forward and proclaim that he is not only a Nationalist but a Universalist as well - if that's even a word. Or, maybe it is now.
Appropriately enough, he handed the announcement over to his Second-In-Command Mike Pence - who strangely, some people feel is a better choice given a Trump impeachment - but that's another story for another day --- and announced it in some strange fashion with a press conference that could have been called by me for all the attention it was given.
"A fifth branch of the military," they called it, and we are supposed to accept that. Meanwhile, we're a trillion dollars in debt, can't decide on health care, a living wage, or a solution for the dying Social Security Administration. Somehow, we can make up a new branch of the military AND ask taxpaying citizens their opinion on a new logo.
Which one do you prefer? I prefer the one that will get me off of this planet the quickest while these two nincompoops are in charge.
Seriously - Space Force? What the fuck is going on?
