Q1: Do we REALLY need another branch of the military? Won’t this be just another clusterfuk waste of money?
Q2: What does this move say about Trump?
—-A). He really is stupid.
—-B). He just might be evil.
—-C). He could be a war-mongering fucker.
—-D). Stupid evil warmongering fucker.

Q1). We already have the F-35 — the meanest most awesome weapon of destruction on the planet. One F-35 can destroy 35 Russian Battalions in a mere 35 seconds. We’re all set on groovy weapons. We don’t need no stinkin’ Space Farce.
Go to the bank. Withdraw around $2,000 — that’s what it will cost per year for each employed person. Go home. Dig a hole in your backyard. Take a shit in the hole. Jump in the hole. Head first, Now, if you can tell yourself, “Boy, that was fun!”, then you will just love supporting the Space Farce.
Q2) Stupid evil warmongering fucker. (Easiest question ever.)

Trump’s US Space Force Officially Launched in $738 Billion Defense Bill
The final 2020 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) passed the House on Wednesday 377-48 at a massive and unprecedented $738 billion, in a nearly united Republican vote which also included over 180 House Democrats. It marks a $22 billion spending increase for the Pentagon.
It’s expected to be signed by President Trump likely next week after it goes through the Senate, after it was stripped of all significant items the administration would find objectionable, including a controversial War Powers Act resolution meant to end US involvement in Yemen and which would would have required Congressional approval for military action against Iran.
Interestingly, the House bill also removed language that blocked the Pentagon from researching low-yield nuclear weapons, and the House also backed away from controversial border wall restrictions.
Long sought after sanctions targeting Russia’s Nord Stream 2 natural gas pipeline to Germany were added. Trump had previously accused Berlin of handing “billions” of dollars to the Russians to the detriment of Ukraine, whose gas transit facilities will be bypassed by the new Gazprom spearheaded venture, set for completion within months. Expanded and severe new sanctions were also added against Syria, known as the ‘Caesar bill’.
Crucially, Trump’s ‘Space Force’ will now become a reality. [Yay, Trump gets his “legacy”.]As Defense News explains:
In a history making win for Trump, the agreement would add a new armed service, dedicated to space, under Title 10 of U.S. Code, which was an action the White House saw as pivotal to solidifying it as a fully independent military branch. The Space Force would be housed within the Air Force and led by the chief of space operations, who would report directly to the Air Force secretary and be a member of the Joint Chiefs. [So it’s to the Air Force what Marine Corps is to Navy.]
Meanwhile, the most vocal progressive Democrat opponent of the massive defense spending bill, Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), had this to say in a floor speech ahead of Wednesday’s vote: “there are many things you can call the bill, but it’s Orwellian to call it progressive.”
“Let’s speak in facts,” said Khanna. “This defense budget is $120 billion more than what Obama left us with. That could fund free public college for every American. It could fund access to high-speed, affordable internet for every American. But it’s worse. The bipartisan amendment to stop the war in Yemen: stripped by the White House. The bipartisan amendment to stop the war in Iran: stripped by the White House.”
Indeed, the most worrisome aspect to the new NDAA is that it makes it easier for the White House to go to war with Iran, at a moment tensions continue to soar.

Q1 – Shut down the overseas empire completely and bring all the troops home. Don’t bother playing anymore games in space other than the likely thousands of weapons and spy satellites that are already there. NOT replacing ANY of them when they age-out, would also be a great move for humanity and the budget.
Q2 – You left out choice F – Just another puppet of the globalists who is busy funneling money from the taxpayers into their pockets under the guise of “keeping us safe.”
Great answers, Mr. L. with an addition to “…under the guise of ‘keeping us safe’.”
“…and Bringing Them Democracy (c)TM.”
My answer c
And the MIC continues to roll on
At some point, there will be an armed presence in space.
What language they speak is still to be determined.
F. Genius
Q1 . No
Q2. B,& C, maybe but probably not A
Whoever controls the highest ground controls the battlefield.
Herr Stuckmiester, ask your beloved brethren in Dressden, all that beautiful wooden architecture…
Add apparent internal conflict about who is with who in the highest levels of the military, especially in the Navy and double especially in the Air Force, and I maybe understand why Trump is building a new Branch on the highest ground.
Do I like it?
Yeah well peace on earth and all that nonsense, it would be fuckin great and all but it is THE pipe dream of all pipe dreams.
Just dont disarm me.
Glad to see you back and stirrin shit up.
Q1 What weapons will the space force consist of? The secrecy surrounding killer satellites and space based weapons for ground targets is the stuff of science fiction fantasies; or possibly realities cloaked in top secret files.
How can the questions be answered if we don’t know what’s up there, or what is proposed to be up there?
There is an unmanned vehicle something like the X 37 that spends many months orbiting and then landing that is also shrouded in secrecy.
The only thing I can figure out from all the rumors is that in the next war, we wont have any idea what is hitting us or where its coming from.
Stucky, its good to see you back!
He’s giving in the the MIC so he doesn’t take two in the hat.
Team America “FUCK YA”
I think it was – Fuck Yea!
Just what we need another government agency money pit.
The House bill is just as telling for what they took out of it as it is for what they put in.
As to your questions Stuck, regardless of Trumps morals or his lack thereof, he is not stupid. He’s probably trapped.
The result to us is the same though regardless of the why. We get screwed with both the bill for it and the ever increasing power of the state over us.
Good to see you posting again Stucky.
Lol
I really dig the genuine surge of anticipation delivered by the “ME?” following Stucky’s QOTDs.
Let’s go with E. Why not? You just hate them cuz they’re black.
#1 Need more military? Probably not. I would rather merge the services into one unified service with one command structure, one staff, one rank system, one uniform and a few region-specific camo patterns, mission-specific weapons and vehicles, and a willingness to constantly pair down, re-assesses, and replace weapons and vehicles an tactics as they become obsolete and reward people who invent ways to save money and increase the resources-to-kill ratio so we can kill lots more people with fewer dollars and fewer casualties on our own side.
#2 What does it say about Trump? Some of C and some of E, but it might be a good idea.
Why not? Our enemies are/have/will weaponize space. Why not formalize it? Air Force can’t have all the fun; there’s no air up there. Also, a space force is kind of a cool idea. At least it means we’ll be IN space and intend to stay there. And it may pay off in new tech and expanded human presence in space. The last time we pushed for space, the technological leaps we made were huge and continue to improve our lives to this day. Maybe we’ll finally get off this rock and start moving out farther. I would feel kind of good about the human species if we were to find another home off Earth and prosper away from this place. Space Force may pay off if they ever get some kind of planetary defense against incoming rocks and that would serve all mankind.
Sadly, I fear this will never get off the ground, so to speak, as the costs build and our resources and budgets diminish. We de-funded Space for a long time and the kenyan re-purposed NASA to a raghead appreciation society, so it’s hard to see us going for military space, but not civilian space.
We’ve never been to space. Nor will we. So….
Somebody obviously needs 738 billion dollars for something.
Edit to add: How much has the Fed pumped into the system the past year or so? I bet it’s really, really close to 738 billion dollars.
Well we could call it Firmament Force, but I got to tell you, it’s going to be a tough sell.
1: Stupid.
I agree we never went to the moon, only in low-earth orbit. I think it’s a major boondoggle. Somebody is going to get rich off of it but it won’t be average Americans.
The Fed pumped 60 billion per month into the system during the 2019 calendar year.
Guess how much that comes out to?
720 billion. That’s a coincidence, huh?
So Trump has a “cordial” and “unexpected” meeting with the chairman of the Fed and less than three weeks later both House democrats and republicans agree to sign off on the additional 738 billion for the “space force”?
That amount was also the rushed payment at the end of Bush 2’s term. They will keep coming up with excuses for that same amount every year. It is the interest on China debt. We got to keep paying the nut, better start learning Chinese if rates go up.
Is that a pastel or a mixed media?
Very funny.
You find some good videos/GIFs that fit right into the topic, My Girl.
Synchronicity…and a musical interlude…..Mark’s honey Ann Margaret in a pair of black tights….Mark, this one’s for you….1:11

NOW THAT’S ENTERTAINMENT!
Hey, Mark….
I listened to this little ten minute video just a couple minutes ago, thought of finding one of your posts to get your take…?
Pre, mid or post…..Apophis
“Apophis (also known as Apep) is the Great Serpent, enemy of the sun god Ra, in ancient Egyptian religion. The sun was Ra’s great barge which sailed through the sky from dawn to dusk and then descended into the underworld.”
“99942 Apophis is a near-Earth asteroid with a diameter of 370 metres that caused a brief period of concern in December 2004 because initial observations indicated a probability of up to 2.7% that it would hit Earth on April 13, 2029. Additional observations provided improved predictions that eliminated the possibility of an impact on Earth or the Moon in 2029.”
We know NASA doesn’t lie, so…….
annuit coeptis novus ordo selcorum <—-==

I lean hard into the Rapture being Pre-Wrath (sometime after the 6th seal, but well before the 7th Seal) then I believe Mid-Trib is most likely, last in my mind is Pre-Trib. I don’t think Post Trib is a Rapture ‘timing’ contender because of what happens after the 7th Seal is opened.
Check this out:
The timing of the Great Snatch is controversial and sometimes divisive among Christians, but I feel the Pre-Tribers who believe they will escape the entire 7 year Tribulation could be in for tremendous shock and disappointment. If they are right no harm no foul, if they are wrong, and many I have met know nothing about the other Rapture timing views (because if they are taught anything in Church about it, it is usually just Pre-Trib so that is all they know and believe) and that could leave them ripe for the greatest deception in the history of the world.
I have been all over the major prophecy websites of all timing views, and I have an entire book case on just prophecy books by distinguished theologians, pastors, knowledgeable laymen who support all the different views. Here are a few of the books and a couple of other sources that have helped me believe what I stated above:
1.
2.
3.
4. I just bought The Prophecy Puzzle…looks intriguing, haven’t read it yet.
5. Think About is has three or four Rapture vids I like:
There are some wonderful Pre-Tribers on TBP – I mean no disrespect, you are all my Brothers & Sisters in Christ – please don’t take this post personal.
Isn’t that what happened on Krypton with the bad superdudes?
A very good GIF… you have a very good GIF hunting methodology, don’t you?
I’ll take the opposing view for the heck of it.
It’s above my pay grade. I don’t know shat about what technology the government has. Hell, I don’t know what I don’t know. What if China and Russia have some kind of space weaponry we’ve got to contend with.
Donkey, I think it is very possible that the bigger issue is that the scientists do not know either, but they will force their own lack of knowledge upon the rest of us.
I think people perish for lack of knowledge.
I got into it with Jon for a couple of months back in ’02-’03
He’s a world class bullshit artist.
Exactly.
Any details you willing to share? Your stories are almost as good as another farmer’s tended to be long ago and far away. Almost.
The more I see the more I think the only way this really gets fixed is when America gets EMP’d or there’s a magnetic pole reversal.
Get Elon’s Space-X to send a nuke to geosynchronous orbit and give us an impenetrable shield of space junk for the next 1000 years to put an end to all satellites … f *** ’em. (see if you can convince Musk to go along for the ride)
p.s. Do not take Stucky’s advice to withdraw $2000! That would trigger the bank to notify the police who would likely gun you down on a highway in rush hour on

They came up with another black hole to abscond with more $trillions. Sounds about right.
Waste of our tax money;
In the early 1960’s NASA was designing a nuclear powered rocket engine under a program known as NERVA. Its further development was discontinued after all sorts of political wrangling. Had it been put into use, a 2 year flight to Mars could have supposedly been cut down to something like 28 days. Was its development discontinued?
maybe 2 weeks ago i saw vid about musk’s “satellite” program: approx 60 objects that fly through the sky in a line. i believe a company called starlink has a similar project in the works, or already implemented.
3 days ago at 6:15 in the morning i witnessed these things going through the sky over western pa, and it was freaky. they just looked like stars, and they indeed flew in a straight line in the southern sky from west to east. not sure when the star train started because i saw it in progress, but it lasted 7-8 mins from when i first noticed and there were dozens and dozens of them. it was truly surreal.
i guess the fcc gave them permission to have these things flying through the whole world’s sky??
oh, and space force is stupid.
So objects were in near-earth orbit I’m assuming.
that’s my guess. i don’t believe space is what we’re told.
didn’t nasa just recently say something to the effect of the moon is actually in our atmosphere?
there are new msm “space” stories practically every day…
oops, anon is cz
Objects in near earth orbit are closer than they appear.
Years too late with objections. weapons in space happened under the Gipper.
Star Wars
Aliens or earth creatures? Maybe byproducts of trans operations? You tell me.
“Penis Fish Wash Ashore on California Beach”
https://www.zerohedge.com/health/thousands-strange-penis-fish-wash-ashore-california-beach
They live in the sand and so did not wash ashore. That remind me of the old joke about the middle age woman who spotted a young man sunning his penis fish. “When I was young, I dreamed of it, begged for it and paid for it and now now here it is, growing wild.”
Was she ugly? Most women can get penis fish if they use the right kind of bait….Even middle aged women can get penis fish..
Madame Bovary, Mrs Robinson, Stella Payne and Norma Desmond demonstrate how they can indeed catch the sand worm but they can’t quite reel it in. It always manages to wiggle free.
That’s the hard part, keeping it.
Just when you expect a red-rope story on penises and aliens, Maggie is MIA.
We might get a red rope story about clam crabs and alien TI’s
Well, I had a rendezvous on the inversion table to measure the proper height a good massage table would need to be to affect a hospital like transfer from flat inversion table to the massage table, also heated.
We also had some prepatory work to do to get the measurements perfect for the granite countertop which will adorn our new maple cabinets, Mennonite construct and install starting tomorrow.
I’m going to ask him about building me a bench for the hot tub from that quarter-sawn oak cabinet I brought from Oklahoma to Missouri. I priced one at a big furniture store and it was $8,300.
I have enough quartersawn oak to build a really nice deck for my hot tub. He can build me a half-deck with half the wood, then take the remainder of that fine oak as payment. That’s how I roll.
I was out at Nellis AFB during a few bizzaro exercises. I saw stuff.
I still am not sure how three girls in MY SQUAD all came down with crabs in basic training. I don’t care how many boys were at the garbage dumpster and how cute they were, Airman! gimme a 341!
“Airman disgraced herself and the USAF by screwing a total stranger at the dumpster behind the barracks.”
I just started using my inversion table again due to sore back. Does it work for you? Granite countertops and crabs need not apply.
Keeping the sand worm? Why? Playtime and then….begone pest….
I hope Stucky sees this and realizes how quickly his very serious debate questions deteriorate into images of penis fish and discussions regarding beer as bait without his Strong Persona here to guide and cajole the minions.
