Not sure how to read your tone @TheSker the article drills down pretty quick, and what I thought was interesting: Quote Three hundred is not a huge crowd in the big scheme of things. One of Trump’s trademark rallies would no doubt attract many times that number. But the crowd — and its enthusiasm — also are not nothing in a county that gave Trump nearly 60 percent of the vote in 2016 and has voted Republican in every presidential election since 1940. 1 Link to comment

We've got money for a f#$%ing "Space Force," and unlimited golf trips, and all the little corrupt niceties that all these grifters that are currently heading up federal agencies happy, like personal flights, soundproof telephone booths, nice tables for their offices, tactical pants... But we've got people in our own country struggling and scraping by to survive. I just found out my girlfriend's mom is back at the doctor being seen about recurring kidney issues which will likely require ANOTHER surgery. Last time this happened it was hell and crippled them financially. She has no idea what they'll do if it happens again. But all these comic book villains running the federal government can't help us, because they're busy with all the graft and personal pet projects. You know, Space Force sounds pretty cool. Whomever runs in 2020 needs "end the blatant corruption" as a central tenant. Simple but powerful. 2 Link to comment

LumberJackSker Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Can't the government just lie to Trump and tell him there's a space force and a border wall. It might even be a clever way to get rid of trump. We tell him he's going to visit his new space station/trump hotel on the moon we paint space force on the side of a rocket launch his dumb fat ass into the sun. 2 Link to comment
commando Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 the republican utopia is when you get caught committing a crime and you blame the democrats rather than take responsibility for your own actions 1 Link to comment
Ric Flair Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 I’m personally in favor of the Space Force. We also need to be doing a heck of a lot more with regard to R&D for emerging technologies like artificial intelligence. China is starting to pull ahead and that’s pretty dangerous. Link to comment
