Space force isn’t dumb if you’re a dem. It’s a lot of new grifts for defense contractors and consultants. Why just imagine the extra uniform grift in itself is a huge chunk of change.

THE POSSESSION OF WEALTH IS IN AND OF ITSELF A SIGN OF POOR VIRTUE. AS SUCH:
1 NEVER TRUST ANY RICH PERSON.
2 NEVER HIRE ANY RICH PERSON.
BY RULE 1, IT IS APPROPRIATE TO PRESUME THAT ALL DEGREES AND CREDENTIALS HELD BY A WEALTHY PERSON ARE FRAUDULENT. THIS JUSTIFIES RULE 2--RULE 1 NEEDS NO JUSTIFIC

Democrats deserve to be destroyed in 2022, but will somehow pull off a miracle thanks to the hard work of naive volunteer campaign workers and hang on by the barest of threads, and go on to continue accomplishing nothing.

Think about it, you know it's the dumbest possible outcome.

There was a distinct moment, though I can't remember when, that everyone shrugged and decided the space force wasn't actually a bad idea. Probably right after Biden won.

if you go by current filibuster rules, i.e., 60% of the Senate is needed to pass anything, then the last time the Republicans had a sufficient supermajority was in the 1921-23 Congress, when they held the Senate 59-37 and the House 300-132.

Nobody in the government actually thought it was a bad idea. They just didn't like it because Trump took the credit for it.

Having a branch dedicated to cybersecurity would also be a good idea.
