“Return the dignity of work to young men who need to be at work instead of playing video games all day.”
House Speaker Mike Johnson defended Republican efforts to attach work requirements to Medicaid, suggesting that young American men are wasting their lives “playing video games all day” instead of working.
Johnson’s remarks came as House Republicans pushed forward a budget framework that would help finance President Donald Trump’s tax cuts, with plans to slash federal spending by trillions. GOP leaders are eyeing $880 billion in reductions to Medicaid, a move critics warn could gut health coverage for millions of low-income Americans.
Dude’s like 5’2, MAYBE 100lbs soaking wet, and spineless. Fuck off, bitch.
What does size even have to do with anything. Don’t have to be short to be spineless or a bitch.
But he’s all 3 and I’m more than a foot taller than him. He’s a little bitch and I would crush him in person. But folks like him need to hide behind bullshit. Put us in the same room and I’ll happily turn his bitch ass to Jello
You could’ve just said he looks like the Keebler elf’s accountant
Sorry Mike, but one of the good things that’s come out of the internet is that it’s made people far more aware of just how much of the value their labor creates goes to paying for the privileged lives of worthless shitheels like you.
Upvoted for usage of the word “shitheel”. Love that word.
Return the dignity of work …
… by paying them what they’re fucking worth, asshole.
No no. Dignity is being paid minimum, getting minimal benefits like healthcare.
Don’t want to DRAIN THOSE RESOURCES.
Fucking assclown Johnson.
Oh are we gonna return to the video games are evil and should be banned era of America? What’s next DnD is turning kids into devil worshippers?
What’s next DnD is turning kids into devil worshippers?
Nah, that’s Harry Potter these days. Try to keep up!
Yes and after that, LSD-laced Disney character stickers being handed out in elementary schools.
Jesus, these fundies were have a different panic every month in the Reagan years.
Ya gotta check your kids Halloween candy for drugs! Even though that has never happened at any time in history other than the guy poisoning his own kids (or step kids?) candy. But every year there’s a big deal about it.
Who gives away drugs? What’s the business model here? How will you get repeat business?
These people don’t think things through!
Right? Even if it was a “prank”, you wouldn’t see the result anyway. Nothing about it makes sense.
Well they do say “the first one’s free”, but anonymously both ways? The dealer doesn’t know his potential customers, the potential customer doesn’t know where that shit came from? You have to be dumb to fall for such a scare story. But the kneejerk of “Our Children” is strong.
My wife’s grand father once told her, “Don’t drive through (hippie college town near us) with your windows open because they’ll throw drugs into your car.” Ever since then I rolled down the windows regardless of weather. Never scored free drugs.
“nobody ever has a stash of cocaine for emergency uses” ISAIP.
Wow, you messed up that and the attribution but I got what you were saying
There’s a ska/punk band called Leftöver Crack, based on this concept
ISAIP: I said as I peed
You must be fun at the urinals
Have you tried looking sad when driving around with the windows down preferrably with some sort of signage that says “I am sad, free drugs would make me happy”?
I mean, banning video games completely is part of Project 2025 and they’ve so far been pretty much following that to the tee.
It’s those damned horror comic books!
I’m British and I know it’s actually video nasties.
Lmao fuck all the way off, Christian Dominionist Captain Narnia
I’ll give up my fantasy worlds when you give up yours. Yours has been far more detrimental to the world.
Well-paying jobs are everywhere! In fact, I had three job offers hit me in the face just now while I was walking my dog.
…can I walk your dog?
Did you apply online?
What’s wrong with this country? Can’t I walk down the street without being offered a job?
Quit enjoying your life with games and get back to making me and my billionaire buddies more money you slacker!
maybe try paying a living wage first.
Fuck you. Pay me.
He hates them because they’re fun and he’s republican. Sad and pathetic to end up so cross.
The day Mike quits his cushy job as house speaker and goes to work in the mines is the day I’ll join him there
How about we all spend 20 hours a week doing actually important jobs, not 40 hours on frivolous bullshit jobs?
Problem is there are way more people than there are “important jobs”
That’s why you reduce the number of hours.
They need to get back to sharing their porn playlist with their kids like good decent American folks.
That’s funny. Last I checked, I’m not the one taking recess for f’ing Easter of all things.
no one shut down their job and prevented everyone from working for over a week just because they didnt get their way, either.
Typical republican sophistry
