CSpOC is slated to be one of two command centers for the U.S. Space Command.

May the Force be with you!!!
Weirdos…
How…exciting. Will he have Mother with him? Maybe they can take in a show in Lompoc.
The force is with us.
What happens if he discovers he’ll be meeting with a woman who is 20 years younger than he? Yikes!
Space Cadets Captain Bone Spurs With Mother at his side.
…he will remove the beer can from the top of your head.
Capt. Bone Spurs will not attend due to getting ready to can Alex over the Jeffrey Epstein case. Bone Spur’s quote in the past” “I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy,” Trump booms from a speakerphone. “He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.”
Yes, such a role model we have for a POTUS. “Sad”
Who ? What’s his name ?
It’s so funny knowing people’s feathers are getting all ruffled over his visit. Welcome to sb county VP Pence! Not all of us are deranged in California I promise.
Now do Bill Clinton
Romper room space cadets.
Crickets..just what I suspected.
TDS is a hideous disease causing those infected to become devoid of any accountability or common sense. Symptoms may last up to 8 years. There is no known cure .
VP Penance
Yeah, it’s a pity Trump is deranged.
Merciful God please help us and end this travesty of an administration by sending back the space ship to transport the aliens back to their own dimension. The do not understand what it is to be a human.
VP Penzance.
And with thy spirit.
Haters in full force today. Or is it envy? Welcome VP Pence.
“Vandenberg is investing in range infrastructure to attract commercial companies…” Tell the VP the truth you guys – you are going to open up the base to weed growers!
What a boondoggle of a trip for the V.P!
This is nothing more than a get out of Washington, D.C. excuse due to: high humidity, high political pushback on all fronts, high time to get Mother on the road to cool her jets, high time to put some needed distance between Pasty & The Don, high time for Pasty to sample some of the excellent Cali cannabis product.
Amen
Losing, losing, losing: the poor, the middle class, minorities, non-Christians, the environment, the national debt, honesty, integrity, world peace, ethics, the LGBTQ, and anyone with common sense.
It would be nice if our elected officials spent as much time worrying about the welfare of the most of us rather than the elites and their corporate military industrial complex. My parents both worked for NASA, my father an engineer on the shuttle. Both thought the agency was poorly managed after it gave up on Kennedy’s call for “peaceful” investment in space and turned to spy satellites and colonizing space for the military.
Pence believes the universe was created 4 thousand years ago and that Jesus walked at the time dinosaurs were alive. I can’t trust or take anything he says seriously.
Glad to know you are not deranged – only on the wrong side of history though.
Pence and most of his fellow reptilians would be perfect recruits for space force voyagers, since they have no spines to worry about losing bone density in low G.
For those mature subjects who called some of us Haters because we do not agree with the current administration of insanity in the white house since your so much better than the rest of us I expect that you will not moan anymore about decisions our current mayor makes in your better interests here in Santa Barbara.
Meanwhile the federal government can’t seem to find money to buy toothbrushes and soap for children being detained by ICE. The current administration is mean-spirited, corrupt, and sad. Especially Pence, the top yes-man in the whole puppet show.
Love the way rational, opposing debate gets deleted here. How’s it feel to live in a self-absorbed echo chamber?
If Mrs. Pence needs 27 vehicles to shop on upper State Street, how many vehicles will Mr. Pence need to visit Vandenberg AFB?
