The entire congressional delegation of Colorado, with all Republicans included, issued a statement on Tuesday condemning President Donald Trump's decision to relocate the U.S. Space Command from Colorado Springs to Huntsville, Alabama, reported Axios' Andrew Solender.
Even infamous MAGA firebrand Lauren Boebert signed on to the protest.
"Today's decision to move U.S Space Command's headquarters out of Colorado and to Alabama will directly harm our state and the nation. We are united in fighting to reverse this decision," said the statement. "Bottom line — moving Space Command headquarters weakens our national security at the worst possible time."
"Moving Space Command sets our space defense apparatus back years, wastes billions of taxpayer dollars, and hands the advantage to the converging threats of China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea ... imped[ing] our military's operational capability for years," the statement continued. "Space Command's long-term presence in Colorado Springs has also created a large number of civilian businesses and workers on which the Command now relies. Those people will not simply move with the Command at the military's whim. Many of them will leave the industry altogether, creating a disruption in the workforce that will take our national defense systems decades to recreate."

EVERY Republican supported their leader and they are finally realizing that they will throw them under the bus in second, to fulfill what THEY cheered on. CO is split 4 (D)s & 4 (R)s in the House.

because CA is a "blue state" and they may force relocations. They are THAT idiotic and vindictive. They could easily carry out Waste. Fraud. Abuse. and move that facility to ID or better, to NV (the latter to encourage them to shift back to red again from purple, where they currently have a GOP governor at the moment) -

They could do some "joint command" nonsense and who cares that there was/is radioactive testing there.
Switch to soft foods. 
It's like a different language. I'm terrible with accents & often terribly dense, too. I was ordering take out at a Chinese restaurant & at the end of the order the woman asked me "Who are you?" But to me, it sounded like "How are you?" so I answered "I'm fine." She asked again & I answered the same, & my husband yelled from across the room, "They're asking who you are not how you are." 
for those who don't know. Petersen Base in Colorado Springs was the interim location until Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, AL was made mission ready.
President Biden cancelled the move in 2023 so Trump is just reinstating it. GOP were of course bloviating that Biden supported a blue state that allows abortion choice over red anti-choice Alabama.
