This is all a f*cking joke right.
I mean not just this, but all of it. All of it. The past 2.5 years can not be real. There is no way this can possibly real. Somebody has got me good, and millions are in on it. I dont know how....But this can't be really happening.

I should have f*cking known.
When I found out the President of the United States said his wall needed to be transparent so we Americans won't get conked on the head by the flying 60 pound bags of drugs flying over I should have known. i should have known and started drinking heavily.
I should be drunk, heavily drunk, for all this. I should be drunk and laughing at all this. None of this can be real.

It just reminded me there are worse things
than being dead. I'm reminded of that still,
every time I visit the VA.

But don't expect the Librul Media to tell you this.

(11,752 posts)We HAD American dominance in space, for exploration and development of new technologies before Republicans started stripping NASA of funding.
At this point, we BARELY have dominance on earth and we are gladly giving it over to Russia and China as we abandon our diplomatic ties with allies around the globe. These idiots want "dominance in space"?
They are little boys. Dumb little boys at that.

(2,807 posts)What we need is to shoot for intelligence. Cause all this dominance ain't working out.

(11,752 posts)Dominance has its perks but the distribution of the perks has been horrific, not only internally, but for the rest of the world as well. We definitely need to change the paradigm from dominance to living decent and comfortable lives all around the globe.

I am a space cadet,
Coming to the rescue
Space cadet.......
Jeez, I wish I could remember more but Fonzie Bear of the Muppets has almost wiped it away.

Abolish the Patriot Act and lets start down sizing this glacier of guns and start saving Gaia.

(2,850 posts)Drop them into action on Earth from outer space so that the landing zone can be extra hard to figure out, and the operation can cost an extra $12 billion? Use them to attack space stations from other countries that we don't like? Drop them on other planets so that they can shoot at space rocks?
What the actual fuck is the idea here?

(1,098 posts)Maybe Trump & Pence got the idea from the first Alien movie.
Saboburns
(2,807 posts)It occurs to me that space SEALS aren't all that tough. If Pence wants to impress me, he should be asking for space ghosts.
Because space ghosts>space SEALS
