In a better society, […] General Milley would be hung,” Gosar wrote.

I know I'm quoting you out of context, Paul, but yes. In a better society, every man would have a majestic, ten-inch penis.

Sorry, can't help but make light of this fucker's bullshit, pardon the French.

In a better society we wouldn't have congresspeople advocating for executions based on personal beliefs.

I swear, like half of them are this close to screaming for a literal crusade against the Saracens.

Trump appointed Milley to his position in 2018. Milley said in an interview published last week in The Atlantic that Trump asked him when he offered him the position as chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff if he was “soft on transgenders.”

“I’m not soft on transgender or hard on transgender,” he says he replied. “I’m about standards in the U.S. military, about who is qualified to serve in the U.S. military. I don’t care who you sleep with or what you are.”

Trump announced his ban on transgender people serving openly in the military in 2017, which his administration defended in courts for years until the Biden administration got rid of it in 2021.

“Trump’s attitude toward the uniformed services seemed superficial, callous, and, at the deepest human level, repugnant,” Milley said in the interview.

I can see why Republicans hate him.

In a better society, Gosar would be sitting in prison for insurrection.

At the very least barred from office as per the Fourteenth Amendment.

I can think about a few cellmates, too, so he won't get too lonely.

So he's complaining that Milley responded too late to Jan 6th but at the same time is taking credit for starting the insurrection? Which is it Gosar? Did you or did you not want Jan 6th to happen?

Gosar is such a tool.

You know it's bad when his own family said "Yeah, don't vote for this guy."

It's no trouble at all, but I don't know what a seal has to do with any of this or how you spelled phoque so badly

I was unaware that Gosar is a size queen.
