    In a lot of ways, he’s the most honest modern president we’ve had.

          Worse than the time someone called a reactionary church man in a Cold War pulp novel “Bishop McCarthy”.

    Calling it now: when the Dems get back in the White House all they’re gonna do is revert this and the Gulf of Mexico thing. Nothing else.

        Space Force was a thing military nerds have been saying we need for ages, at least. It’s dumb because we should be downsizing our bloated military but as long as it’s the size it is having a dedicated command structure for all the spy satellites makes more sense than having the air force and navy both doing their own thing.

          i dont even think the airforce should exist administratively, but the most embarrasing thing about spaceforce is it’s name and branding, neither of which Brandon did shit about.

    I mean killing people is all about the D.O.W. Jones and military contractors profits, so fitting I guess.

    All this will do is make them spend insane amounts of money on signs and letterheads…

      Which I’d be all for, if it would come out of their budget for deadly toys and standard issue equipment. But it won’t, it’ll come out of some other actually important thing that taxpayer money is meant to pay for.

      Maybe that’s the angle to get the liberals mad about this, the fact that it’s pointless waste on the taxpayer’s dime, caused by people who claim to be fiscal conservatives.
