“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.

      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.

          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
