So the BIG ANNOUNCEMENT the Adjudicated Rapist-in-Chief teased is Space Command is moving its HQ

[Miles Archer]

Whoop-dee-fuckin'-doo.

He got what he wanted...the media chasing its tail for 24 hours over something 99% of the general public won't give a fuck about.

• Trump announcement ahead: President Donald Trump will make an announcement this afternoon — his first public comments in a week — about the Department of Defense, according to the White House. A source said Trump will announce that Space Command is moving its headquarters.

2. Yeah, I figured the subject matter was a nothing burger

The real purpose of dragging out pedo Trump is to show he's alive. I wonder if he will be coherent or low energy. Or if it gets postponed and we only get a lackey. Or they just give out a prerecording. Or they try to pass off a double as pedo Trump.
......OK, the possibilities are endless.

4. Big buildup for some major changes, and this is what his team comes up with?

We know CO gets lots of snow, but snow doesn't generally drown people. Alabama gets a lot of really bad rains, and is looking at maybe voting in the dumbest governor, that senator who lives in FL.

They couldn't come up with anything more interesting than this? Plus, how many RWers in CO will this piss off? How many feet does Trump have to shoot himself in?

Edited to add a bit about weather https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2025/08/11/where-does-it-flood-the-most-in-alabama-see-the-rankings-here-flood-prevention-tips-coastal-flood/85609725007/

As the Atlantic hurricane season reaches its peak in the coming weeks, forecasters are keeping a close watch on potential storm development.

Colorado State University predicts a 9% chance of a significant hurricane tracking within 50 miles of Alabama, with a 31% chance of any hurricane and a 63% chance of a named storm affecting the area.

While those odds may seem low, experts warn that even a single storm can bring dangerous flooding, power outages and property damage.

A recent LawnStarter study using FEMA data identified over 940 U.S. counties with moderate to very high flood risks, including several in Alabama.

7. Thank you for adding more info on weather patterns.

Is there a lot of really wealthy GOP donors there that might justify this foolishness? Not really familiar with details of the state.

11. Trump relocates a military command to a red state for the Trumpiest of reasons

The president, by his own admission, is making decisions about the military that have nothing to do with the military.

When the U.S. Space Command was formally created six years ago, it was temporarily based in Colorado and military leaders recommended that it stay there. There was no great mystery as to why: Colorado was already home to the Air Force Academy, which graduates Space Force guardians, as well as three Space Force bases.

What’s more, moving the Space Command would’ve taken time and resources, opening the door to setbacks as China’s efforts to militarize space intensify......

Two years later, Trump is reversing the reversal. NBC News reported:

President Donald Trump announced Tuesday that U.S. Space Command’s headquarters will move to Alabama from Colorado, reversing a Biden administration decision. In remarks at the White House, Trump said he was making the shift in part because of Colorado’s use of mail-in voting.

That might sound like a weird joke, but it accurately summarizes the president’s own comments.

Trump on moving Space Force base from Colorado: "The problem I have with Colorado -- they do mail in voting. They went to all mail in voting, so they have automatically crooked elections. And we can't have that."

.....In other words, the incumbent president held a grudge against Colorado because of his discredited and conspiratorial beliefs about the state’s election administration policies, and this contributed to his willingness to relocate a Pentagon command. (The Space Command is comprised of elements from the Army, Navy and Air Force. It’s not the same thing as the Space Force.)

I can appreciate why most Americans probably don’t care where the Space Command is located, but let’s not miss the forest for the trees: Trump, by his own admission, is making decisions about the military that have nothing to do with the military.

What’s more, he’ll soon be rewarded for the move: At Tuesday’s White House event, Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville, who’s currently running for governor in Alabama, announced that he intends to name the Space Command Center in Huntsville after Trump.
