Trump officially proposes creating Starfleet Command

Post by BigDave »

"Space Force", whatever. That's a dumb name for it. Starfleet Command is a much better name.

We know we're going to need something in place when the Vulcans make first contact after Zefram Cochrane invents warp drive.

That doesn't really seem to be a barrier to success. You can still be in Congress, President, a Supreme Court justice, well, just about anything.

AOC wants a 90% tax rate, lots of crazy items are proposed. Who knows on space fighting but as we see more and more people are figuring out how to get into space on the cheap

Surprised that we haven't heard that dumb liberal demand a train to outer space instead of ships.

I am definitely in on enlisting in the Space Force Reserve.
I am sad that there won’t be a Space Force Academy.

Hey now... remember, Trump has access to the President's Book of Secrets and the aliens in Area 51. If he's proposing a space force, maybe he knows something that can't be made public because it would cause public panic. The alien invasion from Klendathu is approaching. I'd leave Buenos Aires now while you can! You have been warned.

All jokes aside, warfare entered space a long time ago
So I put (the dead dog) on her doorstep!
Salute the Marines
Soon we'll have planes that fly 22000 mph
"#PedoPete" = Hunter's name for his dad.
