“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.
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.
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”?
“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
Nobody has ever woken up with more crack
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
Right? Even if it was a “prank”, you wouldn’t see the result anyway. Nothing about it makes sense.
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.
