President Trump and VP Mike Pence had a bipartisan meeting with Sen. Chuck Schumer and Rep. Nancy Pelosi in the Oval Office earlier today. Most of the photos featured lots of intense body language that reflected the contentious nature of the meeting. Well, this was true for everyone but Mike Pence. Pence opted for a more reserved look - and garnered comparisons that range from robot to Weekend At Bernies. Twitter was especially excited to poke fun at the Vice President's sleepy stature. Here are some of the day's choice responses to Pence's near-narcolepsy.
Donald Trump's "Space Force" proposal is officially coming to fruition, according to an announcement made by Vice President Mike Pence this morning. Pence stated that the Pentagon has started the planning process for the Space Force which, if authorized by Congress, will constitute the sixth branch of United States Military.
The announcement comes two months after Trump called for a Space Force on the grounds that the US should have the potential to protect its military dominance in space against the likes of China and Russia, who have begun making their own respective outer-space advancements. Specifically, a Space Force would serve to defend American satellites from attack.
China and Russia are currently looking to "reduce US military effectiveness," Pence said in a report by USA Today.
Don't get too comfortable with the idea of having a Space Force yet, however. The Trump Administration still needs to get approval from Congress in order to receive funding, although Pence appears hopeful that they are gaining support for the plan.
Should the Administration receive the necessary funding, Pence stated in his speech that the Space Force will be completed by 2020, and that a US Space Command will be created beforehand, drawing officers and forces from other current military branches.
People on the internet have been offering their thoughts on the Space Force, many more snarky than others. What do you think? Let us know in the comments!
Doug Jones' son Carson is being celebrated as a "side-eye" God after staring down Mike Pence as his father was sworn in. Carson, who is openly gay, garnered fast Twitter praise (and memes) from the LGBT community and beyond. Mike Pence is a believer in conversion therapy, and widely considered a foe of the LGBT community, so Carson Jones' expression seems to have packed quite a punch.
Mike Pence is getting roasted following his visit to NASA's Kennedy Space Station on July 6th. During his tour, the Vice President was photographed gently caressing a piece of critical space hardware sporting a sign that clearly reads "Do Not Touch." The image quickly went viral, prompting a whole lot of photoshop edits and memes. Here are our favorites.
Another great Photoshop meme has been making the internet rounds. Google, 11 Minutes Later memes are exactly what they sound like: we see someone has googled a subject, and then - as if something major has occurred - they google something else minutes later. Let the games begin. It is interesting to see what people search for. Putting in rather innocuous words to start a search can lead to a number of surprising and sometimes alarming suggestions for the most popular items searched by people when they typed something similar. Check it out, you might be surprised what you find. And in that vein, take a trip down the rabbit hole to find the most depraved dark memes that can be drudged up from the primordial depths of the site.
Mike Pence has been heavily meme'd and that level of memery is only growing. The most recent addition to the line of Pence memes has been this 'Fake History' take on Jonny Quest, which features Baron Trump and Pence in place of Jonny and his dad, in a fight against the gays and immigrants.
These are basically an extension of Trump Memes, as Mike Pence is his Vice President and joke that poke fun at one is the same as poking fun at the other.
