I saw on my newsfeed on my iPhone today that yesterday afternoon Donald Trump tweeted out the brand spanking new U.S. Space Force logo.
I thought to myself, “That looks strangely familiar.” So I search the archived recesses of my memory vault and came up with this:
No shit. Trump stole the Starfleet Command United Federation of Planets logo from Star Trek for his Space Force. What a copycat! Is there nothing sacred anymore?
I wonder if Captain Kirk knows about this.
“Let’s play Star Trek,” Johnny said. “I’ll be Captain Kirk and you can be Mr. Spock.”
Billy shook his head. “No, I want to be Captain Kirk. You can be Mr. Spock.”
“Uh uh,” Johnny objected. “If I can’t be Captain Kirk, I don’t want to play.”
Sensing something problematic about to go down between the two boys, Johnny’s mother called over to them from the kitchen. “Boys, I’m going to fix a pitcher of iced tea. Do you want some?”
“Sure Mom,” Johnny called back to her.
“Thanks, Mrs. Redding,” Billy said.
“Okay,” Johnny’s mom called, “But I don’t want you running around with glasses in your hands. Why don’t you set up the Dungeons & Dragons board game?”
“Yeah,” both boys said simultaneously.
