Trump - We are doing a tremendous amount of work in space

Well of course they are, there’s hardly anyone left at the White House


President Donald Trump said Tuesday he wants to create a U.S. “Space Force” during a speech before service members at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar in San Diego. “My new national strategy for space recognizes that space is a war-fighting domain, just like the land air and sea. We may even have a Space Force,” Trump said. “We’re doing a tremendous amount of work in space, and I said, maybe we need a new force. We’ll call it the Space Force.” Trump was most likely referring to the National Defense Authorization Act, which was signed into law on Dec. 12 and stipulates that the defense secretary “establish in the executive part of the Department of the Air Force a Space Corps.” Back in July, senior Air Force officials told CNN that the corps was an “unnecessary change in the force’s existing space efforts.”

1. 45 is at his most embarrassing when he wings it.

Don't get me wrong, everything out of that hideous mouth is some sort of bullshit, self-serving lie.

But when he goes off on his tangents, there's a cringe in every word. He knows absolutely nothing, but he thinks he knows everything, and then he tries to convince you that he indeed knows everything. But he's so obviously empty-headed that it's painful to watch.

FAKE PRESIDENT

5. There's always that one bozo who doesn't believe "WET PAINT" means just that.

And Pence is that bozo. He'll nod in Godly agreement to anything the Dotard utters.

14. It would appear that his act is wearing thin on those who swallowed the "businessman" BS.

There is that 30-36% who aren't going to budge from their foursquare stance as Trump supporters, but he's maxed out at that level. One-third of Americans are dumb as dirt.

But it looks like the others who took a chance on 45 are moving away fast.

Star Trek set with some nice Star Wars hair and some Battlestar Galactica costuming. Throw in a sci-fi legend (clearly a Scottie take off) and the robot assistant (tone down from the walking talking penis on Battlestar Galactica).

Thinking back to those times, I wonder why I liked watching those shows since I wasn't stoned.

From sci-do in the late 70's to hair metal in the 80's to reality shows, if it sells they crank them out and people will watch until about the 4th derivative
