For those of you worried that SPACE FORCE is the leaked title of #EpIX... Relax!
Turns out it's just lie #3,253.#9WillBeFineAllInGoodTime

You want $8 billion for a space force which experts say is a “silly” idea given that we already have one.

Meanwhile, you want to cut $3.7 billion from education, $17 billion in cuts to food stamps and $6.6 billion in cuts to housing.

Pence just doubled down on the need for a Space Force. This from a man who probably believes the Earth is just 6,000 years old. #ThatIsntHowYouScience

It will never fail to amaze me that America is willing to pay for an imaginary Space Force in an imaginary Space War but thinks free healthcare for all is absolute madness.

If “Space Force” were a TV show, the writers would keep pitching on a better title.

Space force? Something is very wrong with these people. While they play pretend Star Wars, we’re working to lower the high cost of life-saving prescription drugs #ForThePeople

Space Force now mandates all tweets end with the words "in space."

After 7 minutes of soul-searching I’ve decided to dedicate my life to Space force. As I used to be an actor I can do all sorts of different voices so that way I can communicate with the aliens. So do you guys come pick me up or what?

Space Force: A deliberately stupid and provocative idea designed to make you forget about the Mueller investigation.

BREAKING- Scott Baio has been appointed to the Space Force although he has not been around stars since 1986.

When I hear the term "Space Force" I think of boys playing in a sandbox with their G.I. Joe's and model rocket ships, not a sober or coherent evaluation of the risks of military escalation in or on the final frontier.

Maybe, just maybe, we should make sure our people are not dying because they lack health insurance before we start spending billions to militarize outer space. #SpaceForce

It's insane that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez thinks that the United States could afford to pay for Medicare-for-all.

Anyway, let's spend trillions on a Space Force.

My brain is made of an old bucket of apples at this point, but it strikes me as dysfunctional to treat the idea of universal healthcare as somehow more impossible or recklessly expensive than a brand-new space force to conquer Mars.
