We all laughed and pointed at the idiocy of Tr*mp’s idea for a Space Force. Then Pence said today that it will actually be added to the United States armed forces as a new branch of the military by 2020 at an estimated cost of $8 billion. Because we have money for President Toddler to piss away on bullshit but not to help our own populace.
Trump and Pence want $8 billion for the space force.

Meanwhile, Trump proposed $3.7 billion in cuts to education, $17 billion in cuts to food stamps, and $6.6 billion in cuts to housing pic.twitter.com/kURNN4GXZG
I literally cannot even so hard that Uggs appeared on my feet and Pumpkin Spice Lattes appeared in the paws of my cat and dog. Thank goodness Twitter still pulls out the jokes for ridiculousness like this, because I am DONE.
Hi @realDonaldTrump I heard you are looking for logos for your new SPACE FORCE! As a professional graphic designer, I would like to offer you my logo design idea, free of charge! It's the least I can do to give back. pic.twitter.com/oe522hVdzc

I'll donate part of every order to RAICES Texas, an organization committed to something that really matters: Reuniting immigrant families separated at the border by the Trump regime. pic.twitter.com/7sg7arXf4S
When I hear the term "Space Force" I think of boys playing in a sandbox with their G.I. Joe's and model rocket ships, not a sober or coherent evaluation of the risks of military escalation in or on the final frontier.

"Welcome to our planet, Mike Pence of Space Force. We wish to share our vast knowledge and wondrous technology with you. But first, our High Queen Amidoola requests a private conversation."

Long pause.
"Um, I'm not EXACTLY allowed to sit with an alien queen ALONE."
I see you all talking shit but I'm already a Brigadier Lieutenant General Petty Officer in Space Force. I get a promotion every three hours if I play Destiny 2. It's how we train.

Trump: Well, ask the Vulcans.
Aide: Vulcans aren't real.
Trump: Then ask the Vegans.
