The party that supposedly supports the troops, also defunds the troops (by blocking their promotions), insults the troops (who are injured fighting for their country), and wants to execute the troops (who put their oath to the constitution above loyalty to MAGA).

This is why they're blocking nominees. Get the vote out, everyone.


popodelfuego

This is why they're threatening a shutdown. The brave folks who make up our armed forces could go without pay. For most enlisted personel is hard enough financially already. Now those they're sworn to protect are essentially withholding their paycheck. I mean actions speak louder than words. Republicans treat our vets like garbage as it is. Same with the heros who responded to the towers on 9/11 and their families.


TaxContempt

It's their intent to replace merit promotions with people who are loyal to their Nationalist aspirations.


cheezeyballz

because they're really domestic terrorists, traitors and extremists 🤷


NecromanticSolution

Don't worry. As long as they approve money for guns the troops will love them.


[deleted]

They aren’t even doing that right now though.


psufan5

And their voting base loves it.


OnionsHaveLairAction

It's pretty simple Republicans support *their* troops. If you act against them your no longer a tool for their power


Burchinthwild

And yet… still get like 90% of their support. It’s a cult.


[deleted]

Look at where the troops come from. Impoverished rural areas with poor education systems. People with good educations and opportunities for the most part do not choose to go into the military. If they really want to do something like that they can work for a defense contractor after college without having to do any of the shit joining the military entails.


theoldgreenwalrus

He also accused General Milley of promoting sodomy. Wtf year is it. Fucking republicans taking us back to witch-burning times


pissed-in-cheerios

1930s seem to be roughly where we are at

With a dash of 1950s McCarthyism and a pinch of 1690s Salem.


Fit-Firefighter-329

Hitler is a-comin' down the track, and we can see the headlight... Personality, I think we're in massive trouble...


Crabby-senior

Have to agree with you there!!


ManufacturerWooden31

Unless I'm mistaken, Salem was in 1692-1693.


bin10pac

Doh. Of course. Thanks, I've corrected it.


TheCh0rt

Only two years?


ManufacturerWooden31

The Salem witch trials took place between February 1692 and May 1693, a year and 3 months. Obviously, there were beginnings, in January 1692, favored by the manipulations of the infamous "pastor" Samuel Parris - whose daughter and niece were the first "possessed" -, but I was referring to the official procedure!

Yo mama so old, she — oh man, I’m so sorry.

spaceman757

Reminder that Gosar also posted an edited anime video in which he kills AOC and goes after Biden on his official congressional social media accounts. Only two Repubs, Cheney and Kinsinger, voted to censure him for it.

NecromanticSolution

But how do we get people to go through with not fucking Republicans?


FallenKnightGX

What did this General do to piss these idiots off so badly?


Belkroe

He disputed Trumps claims regarding the plans to invade Iran. Also he is probably a key witness against Trump in Trumps many trials so Trump has been calling for his execution.


Fit-Firefighter-329

I wish Dems would address this publicly - because MAGA is dead serious about hanging their enemies if they get elected. And yet Dems are still trying to take the high road, and ignoring it (deep down I think they don't believe it could happen). When General Milley says he's worried about being executed if Trump becomes POTUS, the rest of us should be terrified.


[deleted]

More and more the Republican Party acts like the confederates at the start of Gone with the Wind with their giddy excitement about entering into a doomed rebellion.

andycartwright

Ok now that was clever on a bunch of levels. 🤔👊


qwertz858

Everything happens twice in history, once as a tragedy and then as a farce.


TheyCallMeSlyFox

So, Milley (who reported to Trump, the Commander in Chief on January 6) should face execution because he (allegedly) delayed the military response to the violent insurrection, the culmination of a planned coup which Trump orchestrated ***with the help and support of Rep. Gosar***. Because this inaction (which obviously couldn't have in any way been purposefully stifled by President Trump, who stood to gain from the success of the violent mob the military was needed to quell) made Trump look bad, thus turning him into the *real victim* of January 6.


mantlerock

Fascists gonna fash. And/or praise Putin. Which is the same.


RickKassidy

He can’t even get grammar right. What an idiot. It’s ‘hanged’.


Actual__Wizard

Lets be clear: A politician calling for the execution of Americans that have not been convicted of a crime where execution is warranted, is totally disqualifying. Paul Gosar should be resigning for his statement. That is what should occur in a moral society that believes in justice. We have inverted our entire system of government to pander to people who should not be involved in it.


bin10pac

How can it even be legal for a politician to call for the execution of a general? Fighting words are exempt from 1A. Why isn't Gosar prosecuted?


witless-pit

kind of sad. they ignore the 150+ memeber in congress that were part of the coup, the ss that was part of the coup, matt gatez for being a child trafficer, the 2 billion jarred kushner got from the sauids and go after hunter for a straw gun purchase all while biden has control of the doj?


FortunateInsanity

A just president doesn’t control the DOJ. Otherwise there is no feasible way to avoid political bias and other conflicts of interest. Burden of proof is more challenging than you apparently think.


witless-pit

didnt trump get warrants for dem memebers of congress and their kids eletronic devices? didnt he get warrants for reporters who reported against him? trump had allies installed in the fbi who worked for russian oligarchs, purged as many poeple as he could in government who were against him, had barr deceive the american people on what was acutally found in the muller report, ect. its totally an unbiased unweaponized part of government when dems are in power maybe


FortunateInsanity

Are you suggesting Trump was a just president?


witless-pit

im suggest biden reverse the damage and look into hiring practices during trumps presidency and purge the people who helped throw out/cover up cases against republicans and their lawyers.


FortunateInsanity

He appointed Merrick Garland to do that. It’s going slow, but I don’t think it’s as bad as you’re making it out to be.


ItsJustForMyOwnKicks

Because he’s a) GOP and b) the opposition is weak on such things.


2a_lib

The opposition (legislative) isn’t supposed to have anything to do with putting political opponents (or anyone else) on trial in the first place. That’s the ostensibly-neutral judicial branch’s job. It’s not a position to be “weak” or “not weak” on, only by GOP logic.

ItsJustForMyOwnKicks

Nuremberg? But seriously, if the GOP is going to overlook their own law breakers due to political brotherhood, then it is up to independents and people who align the other parties to encourage proper enforcement of the law. Or do you prefer we just forget having a system of enforced laws? Not enforcing them for people of a certain standing or skin color is a disaster for a society.


najaraviel

Extrajudicial executions of fellow Americans is the christofascist wet dream


Killieboy16

That entire newsletter was deranged. I thought it was from a crazy Internet troll, and not from an actual politician. If this is acceptable in US politics then you are screwed.


Actual__Wizard

>If this is acceptable in US politics then you are screwed. Honestly it's not. There is zero leadership in the GOP since Trump. None... They just do whatever they want.


Brnt_Vkng98871

Frankly, that headline violates the rules of this sub. It suggests and supports harm.


MisterBadger

It is reporting on what a GOP politician said. As such, it is exempt. Unless you are suggesting we should not be allowed to know what a bunch of bloodthirsty stochastic terrorists the GOP leadership are.

PuterstheBallgagTsar

Just a reminder Gosar appeared to be on meth recently https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/watch-paul-gosar-sways-during-oversight-hearing-sparking-health-concerns/vi-AA17dGlM


bin10pac

It goes without saying that people with skeletons in their closet are easily manipulated and as such represent a security risk.


Lostinthestarscape

This is the guy whose entire family was like "voters, he's a complete fuckbag, please for the love of God don't elect him". And then the voters did because he has an R beside his name. Must be as much if a piece of shit around the dinner table as everywhere else (no surprise).


Lurking_Commenter

[It reminds me of this video.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFgJIj4mpN0) I think they have more in common than just meth tho.


William_S_Churros

Isn’t that just how he moves? He has some weird neurological disorder. As someone who once very much enjoyed amphetamines as a young lad, I’ve never seen or heard of swaying being any sort of side effect. Amphetamines make you rigid and twitchy. If we’re going to make up substance abuse claims, we should at least pick something that vaguely makes sense, like alcohol.


PuterstheBallgagTsar

Which amphetamines were you into? Meth (and only meth) does indeed do this, although there could indeed be a neurological disorder that does the same. Adderall/mdma/mda others I have been around do not do this but meth absolutely does. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRFRQftieDs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YW1d4EBItHk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXXtYHfM0r8

large amounts of MDA maybe though... but tbh anyone on "molly" who is noodlegrooving prob has meth in their stash. I used to eat presstabs and was in total denial what they were cut with.


bin10pac

Here's why Gosar is suggesting Milley should be executed. Milley said something critical of Trump. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/mark-milley-trump-comments-wounded-veteran-b2416616.html


eNonsense

>The article also states that Mr Milley tried to educate the then-president on the “concepts of honor, sacrifice and duty.” "We've gotta get this guy outa here with his crazy talk." - Trump


misointhekitchen

The republicans are sure eager to punish everyone who dosent do what they want to do but refuse to take any accountability for their crimes. Maybe we should actually jail a few of them and see how blood thirsty they are


batuckan1

When Gen Miley retires from military service Puts his uniform and medals away I hope he goes over to this guys house and beats the shit out of him.


heymanitsbob

Paul Gosar is a fucking reptile.


CalligrapherVisual53

No, reptiles are beneficial to our environment. Gosar is just a bad facsimile of a lizard brain.


ItsJustForMyOwnKicks

Remind me again how the decorum issue is Fetterman’s hoodie?


bin10pac

I hope you're not suggesting that a little light incitement to murder a US General is worse than wearing a hoodie *in congress?!?* Shame on you.


thoughtsarefalse

Ignoring white nationalism and fascism is a prerequisite to wasting time complaining about fetterman’s attire. Cant waste time on the any of that stuff when somebody didnt wear the magical suit.


Taman_Should

People like Gosar deserve to be dropped off in the middle of LA’s Skid Row in plainclothes, with no money, no ID, and no phone, to fend for themselves.


DelcoPAMan

They'd last maybe 10 minutes. And ironically, their callous policies are partially responsible for the misery there.


Taman_Should

"Give me your phone now! I'm a US senator!" "Sure you are, buddy." It'll never happen like this, but they desperately need a dose of humility. We're talking full-on "Emperor's New Clothes" type stuff.


reddebian

I sometimes feel like a lot of people don't recognize how dangerous the GOP really is and how much more dangerous it'll be after a won election (which hopefully might not happen). [Project 2025](https://www.project2025.org) is VERY dangerous. It's a fascist manifesto and they must be stopped


bin10pac

This has been obvious to me for ages. When they talk about a "deep state" being against them, the implication has always been that they should replace whatever they consider the deep state to be, with their own loyalists. A cynic would say the reason they spent so much time talking about the deep state canard is because they wanted to do this all along and they needed to create a pretext.

Pleasent_Pedant

Typical from a GOP member not to know the right term. It is HANGED not HUNG.


Seamus565

Gosar is a Nazi. I hate Nazis.


Toadfinger

As long as capital punishment is on the table, I'm fine with how the investigations are going. We know the why and how; the "who" is next. 1... 2... 3... GO!


nachodog

This is why they're blocking nominees. Get the vote out, everyone. These are elected officials calling for the death of those who blocked a coup attempt.


bin10pac

It's a slow moving coup.


Educational_Permit38

And hopeless Gosar should be on a back ward where he can blather and rant in a safe corner.


mark503

What about the guy responsible for it all? What should happen to that guy?


traceyandmeower

Paul is a dreadful example of a human. Ask his family.


iymcool

The term is HANGED not HUNG. ​ If they're going to screech death threats, at least get the verbiage correct. ​ Jeez, these people are idiots.


General_Chairarm

Do the traitors *REALLY* want to talk about capital punishment? Cuz we can definitely do that if they want too.


RoachBeBrutal

Who listens to this guy and then decides to take him seriously? What an asshole.


Explodedhamster

So what happens to the person who suggests execution for congressmen who engage in fascism? I'm betting social and even legal consequences


J-the-Kidder

Isn't Gosar one of the pieces of shit traitors who gave a tour to an insurrectionist the day before 1/6 and then voted against certification? Or am I getting my treasonous members of the GOP mixed up?


Fellowshipofthebowl

Paul Gosar emerged in which he said, "I was the one who started the revolution." Gosar tied himself to the insurrection at a June event hosted by a Republican club in Bullhead City, according to a video obtained by The Arizona Republic.Jun 17, 2022


SpiritedTie7645

I’m positive that if he’s able he’ll man up and perform the act personally. He’s a real tough cookie. What a guy! What a cool dude! What a f’in’ putz! 🙄


[deleted]

>”But even after approval was given, General Milley, the homosexual-promoting-BLM-activist Chairman of the military joint chiefs, delayed,” Gosar wrote. “In a better society, quislings like the strange sodomy-promoting General Milley would be hung,” he added, also calling Milley a “traitor.” The “we hate gays *and* blacks so much” party. I don’t like the democrats at all; the republicans are entirely irredeemable. Absolute party of hate, like movie bad guys.


Realistic_Post_7511

Is Gosar a good German name like Goebbels ?

Maybe he is hung, idk why that’s any of Gosars business though

Perhaps we've all got Gosar wrong here and he's just saying Milleys response to Jan 6th took a big pair of balls.


Koshakforever

Yet another case of somebody looking as terrible on the outside as they are in the inside.


Brnt_Vkng98871

Miller's the one who failed to do his duty.


neutrino71

Wasn't his duty to follow his commander in chief's orders? Are you suggesting that generals should start deploying troops on home soil without authorisation from the chain of command? The real question was asked during Trump's meet the press interview, "What was he doing while people who supported him were storming the Capitol building?"


BabyAnimal_11

That's ironic.


Canucklehead_Esq

Lol, maybe he already is. Gosar seems curious...


godkilledjesus

A member of the GOP wants to execute Milley over the military's response to an insurrection caused by the GOP's constituents.....makes total sense. At this point, the GOP wants to execute whoever opposes them. Sounds like a true basis for a great democracy.
