From
the WP - emphasis mine - :
"After the announcement, President Trump tweeted, “Space Force all the way!” For months, Trump has been calling a Space Force, a new, free-standing military department, with its own chain of command and uniforms. The White House intends to work with lawmakers in submitting legislation by early next year, a senior Administration official said, with the hopes of standing up the department as early as 2020."
Be still, my heart...
Before you laugh too hard, remember that the
last time we had a Republican in the White House nearly as unhinged and probably less criminal that the current occupant
we got these:
So I can't
wait to see how my tax dollars will be well-spent!
And speaking of tax dollars, Charlie Pierce has a nice little piece that draws a pretty bright line between what the American Right and American Left have on offer.
Speaking for the Right, Laura Ingraham reminds us how scary foreign dark people are;
"In some parts of the country, it does seem like the America that we know and love doesn’t exist anymore. Massive demographic changes have been foisted on the American people, and they are changes that none of us ever voted for, and most of us don’t like."
This is, let us remember, about an "immigrant crisis" that is not a crisis because it does not exist.
And, as Pierce notes, it probably sounded better in the original Algonquin.
From the Left...well, I'll let Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez speak for herself as a final comment on the relative value of
"Spaaaaace Foooooorce!!!!!";
“We write unlimited blank checks for war. We just wrote a $2 trillion check for that GOP tax cut and nobody asked those folks how they are going to pay for it...Why is it that our pockets are only empty when it comes to education and health care for our kids? Why are our pockets only empty when we talk about 100 percent renewable energy that is going to save this planet and allow our children to thrive?...We only have empty pockets when it comes to the morally right things to do. When it comes to tax cuts for billionaires and when it comes to unlimited war, we seem to be able to invent that money very easily."
As we should always recall when the number of people who subscribe to InfoWars is mentioned, We the People includes some very great fools.
