@DrPaulGosar

Been thinking about life and mortality today. I’d rather die gloriously in battle than from a virus. In a way it doesn’t matter. But it kinda does.

WTF--are all republicans this vain and dumb? What about a tweet that is less self focused and gives sage advice about coronavirus??

1. Okay Boomer.

[DBoon]

5. any real boomer would have served in Vietnam

Wonder what excuse he used to get out of the draft

[sarisataka]

16. I'm pretty sure his excuse was

The he was only 15 when the draft ended in 1973.

[Turbineguy]

2. He wants

to be killed by a libtard.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

3. Where's the Mountain, when you need him?

[rurallib]

4. A martyr for gawd and country!

what fantasies.

[greenjar_01]

42. I laughed

[gratuitous]

6. Is there way to die gloriously in battle that doesn't include joining the military?

Asking for a chicken hawk named Gosar.

7. I don't know too much about it, but living here in Arizona, there

has been a lot of speculation about Gosar's health (prior to COVID-19), stemming from his appearance(s) in public. I mention this because of the warning about people with underlying health conditions being at higher risk for complications.

14. Isn't he the guy, that all his siblings endorsed the opponent?

[Mrs. Overall]

18. Yes!

21. LoL🤣 thanks.

[Mike 03]

19. Yep.

Exactly. They can't stand his racist, useless ass.

[dewsgirl]

25. That's all I know, AZ, siblings, dentist, and GOP racist.

[struggle4progress]

28. Add Tea Party to the list

[dewsgirl]

30. What??😮 I'm shocked....lol

[SharonClark]

45. Add right-wing fantasist.

31. Same here!

[atreides1]

37. True

But his mommy still stands behind him...

[vapor2]

8. Sorry Paul, you voted to acquit this monster in charge

so you don't get to choose your destiny. You and your colleagues failed to act upon his failure to lead, to tell the truth to the American people.

[Leghorn21]

9. OMG, the replies to his post:

“Been thinking about life and mortality today. I’d rather have a functional president who could help save lives than a sociopathic hot air balloon. In a way it doesn’t matter. But it kinda really really really fucking does.”

“Dude. You're a dentist.”

“Hang in there, according to your God King “April” is just around the corner. Take 2 “elements of medical” and call a doctor in the morning.”

[Mrs. Overall]

11. Those are hilarious!

It's important to find humor where we can!

[Leghorn21]

15. I know, Mrs. O!! Whenever an idiot tweets idiotically like this, always, always

CHECK THE REPLIES!!!

[edhopper]

10. He must have seen Bill Paxton

in Edge of Tomorrow;

Hope in the form of glorious combat, battle is the great redeemer, the fiery crucible in which the only true heroes are forged. The one place where all men truly share the same rank, regardless of what kind of parasitic scum they were going in.

[maxsolomon]

12. This idiot needs to watch that WW1 documentary "They Shall Not Grow Old".

There is no glory in a battle death. More GOP rah rah jingoist bullshit that sucked us into the Iraq quagmire.

[2naSalit]

32. +1

[crickets]

36. This.

[irisblue]

13. His wiki says he has a wife & 3kids. Those poor people

[yonder]

17. It is a battle you dimwit, and we're being outflanked

by the failure of your own and your leader's command.

[irisblue]

20. An offer was made...

24. He and Ted Cruz self-quarantined themselves after CPAC

Neither one of them has any symptoms.

[Hekate]

38. Didn't he and Ted Cruz both fly to their home states rather than staying in DC in their condos?

Trying to wrap my head around that....

[Hekate]

26. There have been wars where far more men died of disease than injury. Vainglorious moron.

[Roland99]

29. We just lost two in Iraq fighting ISIS. What's he waiting for?

[MFM008]

34. Either one

Works for me.

[Leghorn21]

35. comic gold, I hope this trends bigly so all of America can join in!:

“We could air-drop you into North Korea armed with a buck knife and wearing a loin cloth
...just say the word.”


“Bro, you're not a Klingon warrior facing down a dozen Romulans. You're a dentist protected by a private police force for you and your co-workers.”

“Was your first root canal...your Vietnam?”

“I had that same thought—when I was THIRTEEN and understood jack-all about war, death, and heroism. May I suggest you try sudoku for an hour and come back to the Internet when you’re ready to denounce your entire party?”

39. Like Bruce Willis, he gets an epiphany of glory and serving, after he is too old to enlist.

40. Hey Gosar: How about you just die fucking yourself?

Commencing immediately.

[Wounded Bear]

41. So he's binge watching Vikings? nt

[MagickMuffin]

43. That can be arranged: just sign up for active duty

There are plenty of battles being waged that we can join in the fight any time. However, we all know he is a coward and would never join a military.

[eleny]

44. If this happened to a Dem legislator the Rs would likely call it a hoax

But because it's himself, Gosar needs this puff piece.

A real "Wonder Of Me" moment.
