He's calling you lazy

[Nevilledog]

1. Impunity

they never have to explain their "reasoning" to anyone. just the bullshit big lie.

because it's not reasoning. reason would mean that they'd admit wages are too low.

[CottonBear]

2. I despise this asshole and his awful spouse.

[Moostache]

10. At least the rent-a-wife does not over value herself...

Those are $1 bills, not $100 bills...so deduce for yourself what kind of bills that stripper turned trophy wife was accustomed to counting each night.

[denem]

17. The wife (Louise Linton) is Scottish old money.

Her family owns a castle near Edinburgh.

She's a photo-fit trophy wife, but Mnuchkin would have cast an eye over her old word connections.

[Moostache]

26. Ah-ha...so she is living proof that money CANNOT buy class after all...very well! (n/t)

[iluvtennis]

13. Ditto. nt

[lagomorph777]

18. I want to kick him right in the Golden Sacks.

[AleksS]

3. Also, isn't paying people to stay home actually the best idea possible right now?

I mean if we just straight up said:

"Everyone who stays in their house for the next four weeks gets $1,000 a week, period. BUT if we catch you out of your house, and you're not doing one of these (very very few) specific activities, then not only do you NOT get your $4,000, but also you catch a $4,000 fine."

COVID would drop like a rock--by the time it was "come out day" people who had COVID at the start of the 4 weeks would have been through it, and during that 4 weeks, transmission would be as close to nil as possible. At that point we could do as close to a full re-open as is humanly possible.-

AND, I bet in the long run, the cost would be lower than the prolonged agony we're doing now. It'd be like a band-aid; it hurts a little bit more for a MUCH shorter period of time to just rip it off vs. slowly slowly slowly peeling it off.

[volstork]

16. This is exactly right.

However, it makes WAY too much sense, so there's no chance in hell it will ever happen.

[Guilded Lilly]

4. He wants taxpayer money to be there for him to funnel to corporation pals...

Do the words BURN IN HELL mean anything to you, Jagoff?
WE, the “people” you denigrate so condescendingly ARE the taxpayers.

[lagomorph777]

23. The stock market is rising despite Great Depression unemployemnt.

Because Munchkin is filling the coffers of big corporations with free stuff.

[SWBTATTReg]

5. This is the same disgusting argument that the republicans have used for decades, to call

American workers lazy, despite increasing worker productivity by massive amounts over recent years, and guess who got the majority of the benefits? Certainly not the workers.

There's a reason why the %s of people in the middle class has shrunk in size and the number of billionaires and millionaires has increased in numbers ... a big portion of the benefits has accrued to these two wealthy classes while worker pay is still stuck at rates set in the 1970s.

Don't vote like you're a member of the millionaire or billionaire class, you're not. So many run of the mill republicans are are blindsided by politics smoothing over these vast and stark differences in income and wealth (politics is gas lighting other non relevant issues so republican voters can't see what's really happening).

[Wednesdays]

28. To a Republican,

a recession is when millions of people suddenly decide to become lazy and irresponsible.

[underpants]

6. Where are the jobs? If you refuse a job you lose the unemployment money

Of course lightbright there Meadows ACCEPTED the worst job imaginable

[LakeArenal]

7. Republicans sure have "a type".

Lots of fake hair, lips and fingernails.

(🎶 I’m sure she’s a mean ole jezebel 🎶

[denem]

19. 3rd wife - and looks it, but

she is Scottish Old Money. Her family has a castle near Edinburgh.

[lagomorph777]

24. I thought you were referring to Munchkin himself.

Are those lips for real?

[Walleye]

8. To the GOP: It's not your money, assholes, it's ours!

[Mr.Bill]

9. We use taxpayer money to pay

Congress to stay home many weeks every year.

[bobbieinok]

11. Excellent point! Most people do NOT realize how few days Congress is actually in session!!

[CaptYossarian]

12. ALEC writes the bills they "sponsor".

They're unskilled labor.

[uponit7771]

20. +1

[brewens]

14. That piece of shit would kill itself if it had to earn one paycheck on at least three jobs

I've had. Probably all jobs I've had. I only had five different jobs in my life, but that started with fast food and I had some hard physical labor jobs.

[Evolve Dammit]

15. Same. I worked in more factories than I care to remember and some were damn dangerous. These a-hats

disgust me.

[uponit7771]

21. People will pay taxes on the stimulus payments Mensa ... damn, everyone in Trump admin is stupid

[calimary]

22. Bastard.

Actually, both of 'em in that picture are bastards. And worse.

Why don't YOU two try to get by with nothing and no hope and no support, while some spoiled pampered fat cats try to nickel and dime you because they don't want to help you.

Republicans. They Don't Want To Help You.

Pass it on, please! Let's spread this meme!

They DON'T want to help you. And they don't think they should have too.

But they WILL loudly profess that they're patriotic - moreso than you ever could be. They WILL loudly profess they're "pro-life", too. While Americans lose their jobs, their homes, get sick, suffer, and die. Last I checked, more than 148-THOUSAND American deaths, as of this writing.

[TeamPooka]

25. Paying people to stay home is only way to beat the virus

[iscooterliberally]

27. People need an incentive to stay home and not have to go off and work right now.

A long time friend of mine just lost both of his parents to COVID because he had to go work and feed his children. He caught the covid and his parents got it from him. Every time these rich useless idiots implies that people are lazy they should be called out on it. Trump is the poster boy for why we should have a heavy inheritance tax in this country.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

29. Even when the health of the nation,

both medically & financially, depends on people staying home as much as possible while still having funds to pay bills, these money-grubbing hypocrites can't put aside their greed & partisan BS.

Despicable immorality.

[Blue Owl]

30. Hey Steve, the only reason we're in this situation is because the GOP fucked up BIG TIME

If Donald Trump knew how to lead and how to handle something like a pandemic, we'd never be in this mess.

It's time for the GOP to pay for its mistakes.
