"Mike Pence wants Space SEALS as part of Trump's Space Force"


?s=19


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.

I saw it shortly after returning from Vietnam.
It just reminded me there are worse things
than being dead. I'm reminded of that still,
every time I visit the VA.

If the Space Force started marching today they could be in position to invade the moon in just 250 years, Mars in 2,000.

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

15. Pence: We must have American Dominance in space.
Thu Aug 9, 2018, 04:47 PM
Aug 2018

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.

What we need is to shoot for intelligence. Cause all this dominance ain't working out.

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.

they listened to a song that went something like:

That makes it sound like they were aged out of school with an I.E.P.

Space Special Forces? What feats must be performed in zero gravity to make the Special Forces?

Or a REALLY long Candid Camera gag. If I turn around will quick maybe I can catch sight of something weird and I will know it's all been a gag.

Because this can't be real.

As we whistle through the galaxy. We don't need another military budget. If we can afford that, (Like Bushes Homeland Security Dept Gaffe...that has done nothing to secure the voting boxes (that we know of). Increased govt by 17% and was/is redundant in the extreme.
Abolish the Patriot Act and lets start down sizing this glacier of guns and start saving Gaia.

34. Space SEALs?! What the fuck are we going to do with space SEALs?
Thu Aug 9, 2018, 11:15 PM
Aug 2018

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?

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
