“In a better society, quislings like the strange sodomy-promoting General Milley would be hung,” Gosar wrote.

I'm sure a lot of people engaging in sodomy would enjoy their partners having large penises, but I'm not sure how that's relevant. Or how or why Representative Gosar knows how big General Milley's dick is right now.

For clarification, I’m pretty sure a quisling is a gay grizzly bear.

[–] RojoSanIchiban 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I thought it was a chain sub shop that went out of business and hired that guy making the viral flash songs for advertising.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You're thinking of Quasimodo. He's talking about a TV program where they ask contestants trivia.

[–] Supervisor194 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You're thinking of quiz shows. This guy was talking about the famous movie director who did Reservoir Dogs and Django in Chains.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You’re thinking of Quinten Tarantino. It really means an expulsion of gas from the vagina.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

No, that's queefing. What they meant was separating themselves from others when they're sick.

[–] Aloha_Alaska 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think you’re confused; that’s quarantining. What they meant is when two people bicker or argue.

[–] AssPennies 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No that's quarreling. They're talking about about two eighths of weed.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I believe you're mistaken, that's a quarter, the reference is to making a bedspread out of patchwork.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, that’s quilting. You’re thinking of the city in Virginia that hosts both a USMC base and the primary FBI training center.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

I'm sorry to say you might be confused. That's Quantico. You're thinking of a group of four musicians.

[–] frokie 3 points 1 year ago

No that’s a quartet. You’re thinking of the US currency worth 25 cents

[–] frokie 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

(So what might we be thinking of?)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Oh heck, thank you.

[–] kn33 6 points 1 year ago

That'd be quarantining. They're talking about a tabletop game with colored shapes on black square tiles that are arranged in lines.

Yeah, he seems like a completely awful human being.

[–] AFKBRBChocolate 69 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It's a testament to how far the right has shifted that they think General Milley is a liberal.

Actually, scratch that. They don't put people on a spectrum, they're 100 percent "for us or against us." There are trump supporters and everyone else, and the everyone else are by definition liberal scum.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He is literally a liberal.

The Republican party has lost the plot so hard it's time to join the rest of the world and actually know what the word means, which isn't "Democrat."

[–] AFKBRBChocolate 13 points 1 year ago (18 children)

He is literally a liberal.

How do you figure? A Roman Catholic to the point he was a member of Knights of Columbus. Appointed chairman of the joint chiefs of staff by Trump, who pretty much only appointed hard right cabinet members. What criteria are you using to define him a liberal?

"My Team No Matter What."

[–] [email protected] 48 points 1 year ago

In a better society, Trump and Gosar both would have been executed for treason.

[–] Carvex 43 points 1 year ago (5 children)

The word is hanged, but I wouldn't expect a politician to remember or pass 7th grade English. Pornstars are hung, traitors are hanged.

[–] totallynotarobot 17 points 1 year ago

In fairness traitors might also be hung. I'm not gonna check but it's possible.

[–] grue 12 points 1 year ago

It's a Freudian slip. Gosar be 'mirin.

[–] superduperenigma 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Pornstars are hung

Honestly Milley also looks like the kinda dude who could be hanging some serious dong.

[–] ViewSonik 3 points 1 year ago
[–] JigglySackles 2 points 1 year ago

Hung is also appropriate. It's the past tense for hang.

I take "Death thread against a federal employee 100".

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 year ago

GOP politician calling for the execution of somebody they disagree with. Typical.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago

So we're mistaking death threats for free speech now, huh.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago

Neither Gosar nor Trump have served in the military.

Last sentence sums it up.

[–] Illuminostro 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, if I threatened a general, I'd be in jail yesterday. Something has to be done about the GOP's violent stochastic terrorism.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago

Yeah it's haha funny but it's important to remember these guys really do mean it! they are telling you what they really think, paul gosar actually wants to hang Mike Milley!

[–] HLMenckenFan 5 points 1 year ago

What a disgrace.

[–] WoahWoah 3 points 1 year ago

You can do that? I didn't know you could just do that.
