Democrats Add “Trademark Infringement” To Trump Impeachment Over New “Space Force” Logo
by Hugh Jashol
Prospects of a Trump acquittal in the ongoing impeachment debacle dimmed late Friday after Democrats added a new charge: copyright infringement. The latest charge in the Articles of Impeachment stems from the recent unveiling of the new Space Force logo. In shape, style, substance, and genre Trump’s Space Force logo is clearly a copy-and-paste ripoff of the world-famous “Starfleet Command” emblem popularized in the well-known Star Trek series, which is owned by media giant Paramount Pictures.
Trump acknowledged his role creating the new logo in a trademark tweet:
Democrats wasted no time in pouncing on this latest Trump gaffe. “As Commander in Chief, Trump bears full responsibility for this heinous act,” said Democratic presidential hopeful Elizabeth Warren. “Following the time-honored tradition of trying to tie every Republican scandal back to Watergate, we were going to call this scandal “Stargate,” she explained, “but we didn’t want to get sued by MGM like Trump is going to (hopefully) get sued by Paramount.”
“We are soooo fortunate that the President finally gave us something we can actually pin on him,” said “impeachment manager” Adam Schiff. “The Russia hoax didn’t work. The Ukraine witch hunt was dead on arrival at the Senate. We tried racism, sexism, Islamophobia… basically everything. Nothing worked. But now, we have something Trump actually did do, and instead of our usual MO of us trying to pin things we did on him, this is actually something he did do. This is our chance, people! To quote President Alexander Hamilton, I just have to say “I’m not throwin’ away my… shot!”
“Our founders’ vision of a republic is under threat from actions from the White House,” added a sad and solemn Nancy Pelosi. “It is a little-known fact that the only “high crime” specifically mentioned in our Constitution of 1778 is ‘infringement of space-based intellectual property,'” she continued. “If we do not act now, we would be derelict in our duty. It’s tragic the president’s reckless actions make impeachment necessary. He gave us no choice.”
