A year ago, the Trump regime rolled out their exercise in space fantasy meets Government: the United States Space Force (or as empty suit and Trump butt kisser Mike "Dense" Pence would pronounce it "United...States... Space... Force"). Apparently not caring that the U.S. Air Force has had a U. S. Space Command as a major component organization since September 1982 , the Trump regime moved some organizational chart boxes around and created the supernumerary command so they'd have something to point to as a big "accomplishment."
Yesterday, Pence announced with a silly flourish that the members of the Force would be known as "guardians," as in the "Guardians of the Universe" after a year of pondering a name. The reaction was amusing:
The US Space Force spent "over a year" and a "research involving space professionals" to come up with this: pic.twitter.com/AIyUwWxVd7

That is so effing pathetic. Is the Coast Guard Coast Guardians?

First they mimic the Star Trek logo, then they call for force Guardians of the Galaxy. Did no one Google this? https://t.co/ekiIdfd4Q3

It’s strange that we found money for the Guardians of the Galaxy, but nothing for food or rent for hungry, evicted Americans. 🤔

It took a year to tape together Star Trek and Guardians of the Galaxy?!?!? This is far more moronic than I originally thought it was.

So if CBS/Viacom doesn't sue you for the stolen logo, Disney will for the Guardians name. Brilliant.

Can we sue this dork? https://t.co/9skZ8aG446

The Biden Administration ought to make the U.S. Air Force whole again, and put this command back where it belongs.

Oh, good heavens. This is almost as good as the Four Seasons / dildo store press conference. Somebody in Pence's office is getting their ass reamed right now for not spotting the movie reference, I'll bet. What an embarrassment.
Infidel -- It's all the more hilarious when you watch the stolid earnestness with which Pence announces the name, oblivious to the connection. Bwahaha.
I read somewhere that the next Guardians of the Galaxy movie will reveal that the character Star Lord, the leader of the Guardians, is bisexual. That should make this blunder even more awkward for Pence.
I kind of hope he runs for president next cycle (Pence/Fly 2024!) so the usual TV comedians can get the full snark value out of this -- the guy who named Trump's big-deal Space Force after a joke science-fiction franchise with a talking raccoon.
Obviously, they don't Google anything in Pence's office because they're afraid they might accidentally stumble into some porn.
(I have a friend, a Baptist, church-going woman, who was looking for skincare products and Googled "Facials." Boy, was she ever surprised.)
Told my daughter she sounded like a beaver slapping its tail on the water when she stomped around the house. Was going to put a picture of one on a homemade birthday card. So I Googled beaver tail. On retrospect...
