This is the Trump's way of saying "Let them eat cake." One of the thing Biden needs to do on his first day is disband this fucking clown show.

7th graders would have a more sophisticated imagination, and probably wouldn't just copy the Star Trek Logo?

All of the biggest blockbuster movies have been comic book stuff for years.
We've had all the Marvel heroes like Hulk, Wolverine, Spiderman and more. We've had the other guys
and gals like Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman. The US culture is a comic book anymore.
Where are the real life movies? Nobody wants that--people want fantasy and sci-fi and zombies.
Throw in some "reality" TV BS, like Bridezillas and the one where people are voted off the island,
and you get an overview of a very juvenile populace. It's trashy culture. "Love After Lockup"?
I watch news and TCM and some documentaries on Netflix. And sports back when, pre-covid.

Twitter's on it, of course. Mail carriers are to be The Lettorian Guard, trash collectors The Elimination Force. "It took you a year to come up with a Star Trek logo and a Marvel name? Was your backup the Go-go Gadget Galactics or something?"

More to come as surely as the The Force is with the tweeters.

The Space Force motto is “Sempa Supra,” or “Always Above.” Their inner fascist is showing bad.

30. The Guardians...straight from The Handmaid's Tale.

Dec 2020

Here's the irony:


“The Handmaid’s Tale” was released in 2017, after the inauguration of US President Donald Trump and viewers saw it as a sign. The TV series became a focal point for the anti-Trump movement. The handmaids’ outfits became an emblem: it was a common sight during protests against the appointment of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. He was accused of sexual abuse when he was a high school student.
It also appeared during protests around the world for women’s rights.

National Guard, as is the unit in Hawaii that was just announced, does that make them officially Guardian National Guards, or would it be the National Guard Guardians? I’m confused.
