    In an administration stuffed to the gills with dangerous lunatics, Miller stands out on both counts.

    He’s clearly a full-blown psychopath, and an existential threat to the US and the world. He doesn’t just need to be removed from power - he needs to be committed.

        Well then. I respect his endowment. However it does not justify his actions nor excuse his rhetorics

          Though you’re correct, Merriam Webster makes it seem that “hung” is fine here too.

              What if it was so big that imthe first erection took far too much blood from his body and he was rushed to the hospital and then they made his wife sign off on cutting it off to save him and because of the blood bag issue they can’t give him meds so he is feeling and seeing everything going on in horror as he slips in and out of consciousness?

              In the end, sadly, he didn’t make it.

              This would be, like, an actual djinn and they revel in the fact that they faked out, like, 3 or more times for the same gag?

            In this context ‘hung’ could also be an adjective indicating he has a gigantic dong. So I really think we should be sticklers about hanged vs hung here.

              I got banned from r/politics for replying to someone saying that Eric Swallwell should be hung. Apparently, saying something around the lines of “anybody with balls of steel must also be hung” was “inciting violence”.

              Meanwhile, the guy actually saying he should actually be murdered wasn’t seen a problem.

            I’ve always thought hanged was the correct term for past tense of hanging humans and hung was correct for other situations

              “Hanged” is an obsolete usage that persisted in legal contexts because people who practice law tend to be pedantic bores. It goes back to the 1500s. “Hung” is first attested a century later.

              It’s one of the uncommon cases where an originally weak English verb (hang/hanged) morphed into a strong verb (hang/hung) in later usage.

            Remember that Noah Webster is responsible for deriving American from English. Convince me he didn’t write a dictionary only to lend an air of legitimacy to his lunacy.
