1. Don't we have to get into space first in order to fight in space?

They're making all these plans for a space force, but nobody's in space to do it.

15. I guess Pence is probably one of the best people to announce the creation of the 'space force' ...

since he shares a couple of characteristics with space, one of which is space is frigid and the other is that space is a vacuum (his eyes stare out emptily out into space (remember his sideline participation in the Chuck S./Nancy P./rump conversation))?

This is all grandstanding. They had to find something for Pence to do besides being a potted plant in the Oval Office. From what I understand from my son who works for NASA at the Cape, the people who work there are sick of him showing up and everything has to stop for his grand entrance and traffic gets backed up, and then of course someone has to watch that he doesn't push any buttons that say "DO NOT TOUCH THIS BUTTON."

10. I'm beginning to think this Space Command is just a ploy to keep Pence busy

and out of Doturd's matted hair. It's just busy work, busy work.

All the announcements regarding this "Command" have been made by Pence, so apparently, it's his baby. It also gives Doturd an easy out when it doesn't come to be. Blame it on the Pence!
