“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.
maybe try paying a living wage first.
‘They’re Draining Resources’
“Building new power plants and taking all the water just to service broligarchs’ AI businesses is fine, though.”
I have an idea, mike. How about you stop trying to tell people what to do in their lives and trying doing your fucking job? Parasite.
If the US feels like it needs more workers they should try restoring the social contract
As always, what’s not said is often more telling that what is.
He values women so little that he doesn’t even consider their contribution worthwhile enough to mention. It’s fine for them to waste their time playing games all day. (Or he doesn’t think women don’t play games, which is just as poor)
Quit enjoying your life with games and get back to making me and my billionaire buddies more money you slacker!
Then treat workers with dignity you asshat. Pay them well, give them the days off they need, give them a retirement to look forward to, health care, respect their time off, and STFU about what they do on their time off even if it’s just playing video games.
I hate that a little worm like this shithead has any power whatsoever.
This weird little freak can go fuck himself.
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
Mike Johnson has a very cab forward face. (Look it up, it was a thing.)
Stop selling iPhones …
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?
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!
These assholes talking about working lol.
They “work” 70(?) Days out of the year. On top of that they spend like 95% of their time telling billionaires what they will do for them if they give them money.
Fuck this pencil-dicked Evil Leave-it-to-Beaver looking motherfucker.
Not defending Mike Johnson here, but there’s supposed to be more to it than just the days in session. About 140 in session days, which allows other days to read and research what you’re legislating on. And then the lengthy recesses are so congressmen can be home to work with and listen to their constituents.
Whether or not it happens like that is a mystery, I guess.
The labor force participation rate for men ages 25-54 is approximately 90%.
Who the hell is he talking about? We’re all working already

Children. That’s why they’re eroding child labor laws.
Just classic republican nonsense. Bitching about things that don’t exist. But they blast it all over, so people believe it.
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.
“My dad works for Microsoft!!”
It’s unfortunate how many self-described “gamers” voted this entire thing in because they hate women and hate accountability and hate responsibility.
