Hey, don't say the Republicans never do anything for space ...

Apparently, funding NASA is a waste of money but training a Space Army can't happen soon enough.
SPEHSS MARINES
Seriously though....what the fuck are they going to do? There's no one to fight in space (currently), we have no delivery vehicles to get them troops even if there were, and monitoring our satellites and other orbital assets is already covered by the Air Force Space Command. I think some representatives just had a weekend session of watching
Aliens and
Starship Troopers and were like "Fuck yeah, bro! That was sick! We need some of that!"
....I may or may not envision most Republican members of Congress as brain-damaged frat boys. PROVE ME WRONG.

In other news, a number of outlets, including
#FakeCNNNews,
#FakeNYTimes, and
#FakeWaPo are publishing that Donald Trump Jr., Jared Kushner and then-campaign manager Paul Manafort met in June 2016 with a Russian lawyer after being promised damaging intel on Hillary Clinton.
The White House and its surrogates all strenuously denied the report, as did the Kremlin.
Then Trump Jr. issued a statement acknowledging it, and Kellyanne Conway rose from her crypt yet again to insist that there was absolutely nothing, NOTHING wrong with the meeting. People meet all the time, for all kinds of reasons! It's right in the Bill of Rights -- freedom of assembly!
Besides, the intel turned out to be boring, useless shit. It would only be criminal if it had been juicy!
I do hope that when the dam finally breaks and the peasants storm the Potomac, Conway can at least make a good lampshade. She's already hollow and transparent.
