  1. It’s what gun toting, NASCAR driving, supply side Jesus would have wanted

  2. If Mike had any actual morals he would [redacted]

  3. This country is ill and it’s terminal, sorry if there are fair and free elections in the future, it ain’t going to fix our problems.

  5. Even more moral to take away the free health insurance from Congress.

  8. I keep hearing these clowns throw around the phrase “going after waste, fraud and abuse” for everything they are saying they are doing, yet lo and behold, the amount of waste, fraud and abuse is staggering from this administration.

  9. The bill also eliminates the interest deferral on student loans so they don’t accrue interest while you’re in college, making it that much more difficult for poor people to escape poverty.

  10. Literally the worst Christian example you can set.

    But at least he’s not watching porn. He probably jerks off to when poors lose their health insurance.

  11. It’s telling he is focused on young men “need to work”. What about the women? Well we know what he would like women rather be doing.
    The problem, as stated in the article, majority of Medicaid recipients do work.

  13. its a race between him and miller with who has the most shit eating grin

  14. Mike Johnson is a Christian Nationalist, aka a religious extremist, with ties to the New Apostolic Reformation, an extreme far-right Christian movement seeking to dissolve separation between church and state by any means they can. A core belief of this fascist is that God makes people poor, sick, homeless, etc. so doing anything to help people violates God’s will.

  16. Sure. Then the hospital and clinics that rely on Medicaid funding shut down. Those nurses and doctors leave the area to find work. The local businesses that service those areas shut down. It’s a literal death spiral. What would Jesus say Mike?

  18. Says a guy with FREE HEALTHCARE FOR LIFE. Imagine that?

  20. >Another part of the bill would remove Medicaid coverage from people who are also on Medicare — the majority of those people are seniors or disabled individuals.

    fucking ghouls. fucking sociopathic ghouls. the republican party can go fuck itself with rusty tacks.

  22. A man in a silk suit hurries by
    As he catches the poor old ladies’ eyes
    Just for fun he says, “Get a job”.

    That’s just the way it is
    Some things’ll never change.

  23. Healthcare is a human right — not a reward for wealth.

  24. Without a doubt, this dude is hiding something. He’s so fucking creepy.

  25. From that bible that he says he cares so much about –

    [Matthew 25:31-46](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2025%3A31-46&version=NIV)

    > 31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne.

    > 32 All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.

    > 33 He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.

    > 34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world.

    > 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in,

    > 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’

    > 37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink?

    > 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you?

    > 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’

    > 40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’

    > 41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.

    > 42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink,

    > 43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’

    > 44 “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’

    > 45 “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’

    > 46 “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”

  26. Sounds good. Let’s throw him off his government pension when he leaves Congress.

    Seems moral to me.

  27. Do you think he really thinks he’s a Christian? I’m seriously asking.

  29. Mitch McConnell and Newt Gingrich each paved the way for ghouls like this monster who hide behind morality and religion to harm the populace while enriching themselves.

  30. Mike Johnson wouldn’t know “moral” if it bit him in the ass.

  32. Until every american has insurance, no congressman or women should have paid insurance from our tax dollars.
