Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Rep. Paul Gosar said that the "homosexual-promoting" general "would be hung" in a better society.

Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) called for the execution of General Mark Milley, the chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, in a homophobic tirade this weekend.

In his newsletter this weekend – published to his Congressional website – Gosar accused Milley of being a “homosexual-promoting-BLM-activist” who delayed the military’s response to the January 6 riot. An election denier, Gosar has in the past claimed that he “started the revolution,” referring to the insurrection.

If anyone's getting executed, it's the new era Benedict Arnold: Trump.

I believe hanging is the punishment on the books for treason.

If Cheeto Hitler could call for someone's execution, why not him?

The new normal is a weird, weird place.

… and now this man should probably go into protective custody because Trump’s little army of MAGA-fucktarded minions will probably take this as a call to arms.

Against a general… Someone who commands a literal army.

[–] Pratai@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 year ago

They’re that fucking stupid.

Gosar is severely mentally ill, and needs to be institutionalized.

His family has been warning US for years.

Is sodomy that thing Paul Gosar's mom does nightly with the entire town?

Edit: my mistake, it's called 'Bingo'

His siblings seem pretty cool. No reason to slander their mother.

I got one from your own playbook; "Then move to one of those better countries!" I am sure Qatar and the Saudis would love all of you bumpkins.

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

I agree. Well, in a better society, everyone would be hung. :DroolEmoji:

[–] toasteecup@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Ok who the hell summoned gosar from the ghost dimension this time?

[–] MushuChupacabra@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Is that a threat?
