Republican Rep. Gosar tweets from his CPAC quarantine: He wants to die in battle, not from a virus





Paul Gosar
@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??

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.

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.

“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.”

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.

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

“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?”

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.

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