But--imagine the recruitment posters:

"Trump's Space Force: Where We Even Patrol Uranus!" (Why not? They are already policing every uterus.)

As for the Trump Administration, are they trolling us, or are they really capable of this level of near-superhuman incompetence?

So I'm gripping the arm rests as hard as I can and closing my eyes in terror until it's over.

I've done too many drugs and watched too many stupid shows and movies. It's whipped up some horrible horror show that seems so vivid. And you were there and so were you and you two were there too.

I'm sorry that my drug addled brain couldn't be more original than ripping off Star Trek for the monster's Space Force logo.



The Democratic Party slogan in 2020 should be simple: End the screams!

US Space Force; "Pays Tribute"

All Trump did is created another military bureaucracy that sounded good on bumper sticker. Space is a domain that is a remote superiority for the U.S., not manned. Until we have that, this so called costly sixth branch of the military, shouldn't have been establish.

Paramount Pictures
In 2005, Paramount's parent company Viacom split into two companies, the CBS Corporation owner of CBS Television Studios, and Viacom owner of Paramount Pictures. CBS owns the film brand while Paramount owns the film library and would continue the film franchise.

Trump stupidly keeps asking to be sued.
