“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.
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.
Return the dignity of work …
… by paying them what they’re fucking worth, asshole.
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?
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!
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.
ISAIP: I said as I peed
You must be fun at the urinals
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.
I’d wager I get more done by 8 AM than Johnson gets done all day.
Bonus: I don’t wake up until 9 AM.
Who TF think medicaid goes to people choosing not to work?
Fuck you. Pay me.
This “people should work harder” point is always made by people who haven’t done a honest day’s work in decades.
Seriously, what does Mike Johnson do? Sit around in rooms exchanging shitty ideas with out of touch, untouchable millionaires?
He has an app on his adult son’s phone to track his porn viewing habits. He’s a creep that has no ground to stand on to criticize others.
And vice versa, if I recall.
Yes. Their cult’s obsession of pleasure in general is disgusting. It’s probably why they want everyone else to be as miserable as they are
Fuck you, I’ve worked 8+ hours a day for the past 30 years & I will do whatever the fuck I want in my off time.
Reminder: Mike Johnson has never actually worked a real job.
He’s a hypocrite & if there is a Hell, he’ll be burning right there beside me.
That’s the problem, he doesn’t want people to have an off time.
From time to time the ruling class has to be reminded that, as the bigger of the two classes, the working class could just eat them and start over. If we’re not content with the system, we can change it anytime we like. We’ll start by trying to get change by ballot box, but if you close that door for us, if you force us too… we absolutely can get change by guillotine.
He had me at “Return the dignity of work”.
I don’t think that he has any intention to do that, but that would certainly go a long way towards getting people to work like he wants.
Was annoyed, then confused, then I see what you mean. Yeah, he’s got no intention of actually bringing dignity back to the workplace, but some people would be willing to work if jobs were treated in a dignified way. As it is, tipping alone has ruined any possibility that the US would ever let the people “take away” the ability of rich people to have servants.
As a gamer, I believe the appropriate response is, “Suck my dick fag Johnson, your mom’s a cum guzzling whore draining the resources of my balls.”
Or something to that effect.
Mike Johnson, you are cordially invited to fuck all the way off with that delusional bullshit.
When the hell will ‘wholly detached rich guy says other people should work harder to make him even richerer’ stop being so fucking common? I see like one of these a month minimum these days. Man, fuck every one of these assclowns.
