July 4, 2019: Trumpendence Day!

He “stuck” to his script and he still managed to produce this nonsense.

I haven’t had Latin in ages. How does ‘To infinity… and beyond!’ get translated?

Since he’s copying his [del]manipulator[/del] good friend Xi, he might as well go full-on and use Chinese for the motto:

Dunno (I’m in favour of Cave Hominem myself), but the first Space Gunship simply *has *to be christened “All Of The Best Gravitas, Believe Me”

Dulce and decorum est per orbitum nukem

I have absolutely no idea. I only know legal Latin maxims: habeas corpus, ex turpi causa non oritur actio, res judicata, mens rea, contra proferentem, and so on.

I know Kansas’ state motto because ASPERA was the answer to a crossword puzzle clue involving Kansas’ state motto in the NYT Sunday puzzle, some years ago.

If we have a Latin scholar who can translate “To infinity, and beyond,” I’d be grateful. That would be a cool motto for the Space Force, but I doubt that the Space Force will ever come to be.

Ad infinitum, et (plus) ultra

Thank you, Kobal2! I like it!

Bravo! I had to scroll up to see if your post was written by Smapti. :smiley:

Eh eh eh, Spain has copyright on the last bit! WE GET ROYALTIES!

I think the Space Force motto will be more along the lines of, semper ubi sub ubi. As misread off a TelePrompTer.

The Royal Air Force, too.

I always wondered why the Redcoats didn’t just call in an air strike on Fort McHenry.

Sorry, was posting at the time and so missed his mention of the airfields of 1812.

Dan Rather tweet from yesterday:

“Tomorrow’s White House press release: under a brilliant sun millions of patriots cheered the most accomplished president in American history.”

If Kim Jong Un had a disaster like this, somebody would literally be catching flak for it.

Sit Ubu sit. Good dog!

I like “mens rea in habeas corpus.”

This one is the best.

Anyway, rather than “to infinity and beyond,” I think it should be “to oblivion and beyond.” Or maybe just “to oblivion,” so it will fit easily on a ball cap.

Ad doubleplusgood infinitum.

non compos mentis

How about *non **compost *mentis. That sums up the contents of his head.
