Dems Plan To Scuttle Space Force.......
Free Beacon ^ | 9/23/2021 | Jack Beyer

Posted on 09/23/2021 7:32:29 PM PDT by caww

House Democrats on Wednesday introduced a measure in the 2022 defense budget to eliminate the Space Force.

Rep. Jared Huffman (D., Calif.) led a resolution, cosigned by fellow Democratic representatives Rashida Tlaib (Mich.), Maxine Waters (Calif.), Mark Pocan (Wis.), and Jésus García (Calif.), to "abolish" America's newest military branch. The measure received support from the Koch-funded National Taxpayers Union and radical anti-war groups such as Peace Action and Demand Progress.

The push to defund the Space Force comes as China increasingly threatens the United States. Secretary of the Air Force Frank Kendall said Monday that China is developing means to bombard American targets from space.

China has launched satellites and a space station, threatening American dominance in space. Simulated war drills show that Beijing would likely exploit American vulnerabilities in space as a first move in a takeover of Taiwan.

Trump’s big mistake was not including a Muslim outreach in the Space Force. That would have saved it.

China doesn’t like oversight in orbit.

They may even get it passed. Who knows?

I do know the dems want to scrap anything associated with Trump. They might kill Space Force and later come up with their own version.

Dogs and fire hydrants.

I would suggest to those democrats an even trade...

We give up the Space Force, and they dismantle the democratic party, and all associated branches of the party, such as he socialists and progressives and liberals and communists and BLM and Antifa and Facebook and Twitter and Google. Fair trade.

I doubt it will have any weight at all...however the Dems aren’t wasting any time trying to destroy anything that Trump did for this country.

They certainly intend to destroy anything associated with Trump....like Trump did Obamas Legacy. ...This is just more evidence of who is running things behind Biden’s cardboard figure. ....and he thinks he’s fooling everybody.

GOP has no gonads nor desire to stop any of it.....they’re too busy protecting their jobs and careers. They knit pick at the small stuff so they can say their working hard at best...the rest of the time they talk talk talk on various TV interviews.

Well based on who’s running the Military I would guess they’re in on it.

They should be awarded honorary spacesuits and vented out the nearest airlock.. /s

I'll drink to that! Mazaltov!

Seriously, all branches of the military did deal with space, don't forget it was the U.S. Army rocket that put up our first satellite, Explorer I. You also had the Vanguard from the Navy and of course, the bulk of space forces were handled by the Air Force. Even so, we see the same names of the scum bums that want to put the kibosh on the U.S. Space Force. BTW, I bet you my last sawbuck that if a Democrat came up with the Space Force it would be lauded as the best thing since sliced bread and the Beatles. It is because President Trump came up with it, it is bad. You got to remember Biden Good, Orange Man Bad. B-P Even so, this whole administration and their partners in slime and crime sicken me.

This guy is going to dismantle this nation brick by brick.

More like a wrecking ball and loads of dynamite, this guy is a combination freak show on two legs and a Doomsday Machine.
