“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@lemmy.world 19 points 9 months ago

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

[-] Crozekiel@lemmy.zip 17 points 9 months ago

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

[-] Supervisor194@lemmy.world 13 points 9 months ago

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

[-] bradorsomething@ttrpg.network 10 points 9 months ago

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

[-] treadful@lemmy.zip 10 points 9 months ago

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

[-] Aloha_Alaska@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago

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

[-] AssPennies@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago

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

[-] Im14abeer@midwest.social 6 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

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

[-] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 4 points 9 months ago

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

[-] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 4 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

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

[-] frokie@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

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

[-] frokie@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

(So what might we be thinking of?)

[-] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 months ago

Oh heck, thank you.

[-] kn33@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

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

Thank you for your service

[-] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 86 points 9 months ago

Oh hey, it's that congressman whose so terrible even his own family endorse his opponent.

[-] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.world 12 points 9 months ago

Yeah, he seems like a completely awful human being.

[-] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.world 69 points 9 months ago

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.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 5 points 9 months ago

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@lemmy.world 13 points 9 months ago

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?

[-] AA5B@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Damn, I considered joining Knights of Columbus because it’s a social organization that does some good fundraising and service projects. I didn’t know I’d have to change my politics

"My Team No Matter What."

[-] kitsuneofinari@yiffit.net 48 points 9 months ago

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

[-] Carvex@lemmy.world 43 points 9 months ago

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@lemmy.world 17 points 9 months ago

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

[-] grue@lemmy.world 12 points 9 months ago

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

[-] superduperenigma@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Pornstars are hung

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

[-] ViewSonik@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

🍆

[-] JigglySackles@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

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

[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 32 points 9 months ago

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

[-] halfempty@kbin.social 28 points 9 months ago

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

[-] ArugulaZ@kbin.social 21 points 9 months ago

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

[-] JasonHears@feddit.nl 19 points 9 months ago

Neither Gosar nor Trump have served in the military.

Last sentence sums it up.

[-] Illuminostro@lemmy.world 18 points 9 months ago

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

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!

[-] Pratai@lemmy.ca 8 points 9 months ago

I guarantee this dude has seen a few up close.

[-] HLMenckenFan@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

What a disgrace.

[-] WoahWoah@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

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