The former billionaire, who inherited a coal mining business from his father, presides over a state where 29% of residents are on Medicaid
When Senator Jim Justice of West Virginia was asked about the Senate Republicans’ newly released portion of the proposed spending bill that requires parents of children older than 14 to work for Medicaid, he said, “biblically, we are supposed to work.”
Will no one rid me of this meddlesome millionaire?
Imagine being responsible for hurting so many people and turning around and think you’re a good Christian quoting Bible crap. I wish Jesus was real and coming soon, so he could slap you in the face. This is not what he meant (or the writers of what he said about loving each other, anyway).
If Jesus was real and did come back we’d probably never know because he would get deported and die in a Salvadorian torture prison.
Or put back on a cross. To paraphrase the comic about aliens asked about knowing Jesus, “Yes, he always comes back around to visit every year or so. We gave him donuts. What did you guys do?”
Imagine the irony if Bethlehem is his set spawning point and every time he tries to return he ends up getting murdered by Israel before he can form a coherent sentence.
No, JESUS. You know, white Jesus.
Jesus? Sounds Mexican, he wouldn’t last a day.
Soon we’ll all be Trumptians anyway once he invades the Vatican and elects himself Pope.
most of these “Christians” only go to EVANGELICAL churces/ televangelists. they dont go to just normal ones, it almost always are these politically connected churches.
Former billionaire
One down, 900 to go.
Does this person think managing a household with the bare minimum cash flow isn’t work? Perhaps he can put himself on the streets with the clothing on his back, $20 and no access to his or family money, phones, electronics, for a month and survive, then come back and tell us how it’s not working.
Then why doesn’t this guy get a real job?
He “make a hard d’cision”
Like CEOs
You know, I don’t recall Medicaid being mentioned once in the bible.
I do seem to remember something about giving all of your possessions to the poor though. But maybe I am imagining that.
The socialism that Jesus taught would carry over to cover medical care that simply didn’t exist at the time. It’s funny how “socialism” is used by some as a bad thing…there is nothing wrong with society taking care of the citizens, it’s sort of the point of having it.
Cool, so he follows the bible and is saying people should be working just as much, or little, as him, right? RIGHT!? What a joke.
I remember hearing about journalists as a kid, the ones who would actually ask questions and investigate. Not just reguritate whatever word vomit these troglodytes spew.
Any politician who publicly states that their religion should be the basis of any law should immediately be [redacted] multiple times in the face with a 12 gauge [redacted]
think biblical, on a cross, crucified.
Yes, these politicians should be redacted.
Biblically, slavery was acceptable and part of the gospel.
You say that as if that’s not what the regressive actively want to return.
Biblically, all sorts of fucked up stuff was common.
Puritanical work ethic bullshit coming from the mouth of someone with hands that have never known callouses.
Fuck his shitty religion; he can shove that fairy tale book up his ass. I don’t give a fuck what “biblically” we are supposed to do.
Don’t you just love this fucking bullshit dripping from the mouth of a parasite who’s never seen hard times?
I do actually agree with the core of this idea. Most people are not happy in a state of long term indolence. Most of us need ‘work’ to be happy. However, that ‘work’ might be carving sculpture, teaching children, breeding plants, or theoretical physics.
How many Albert Einsteins and George Washington Carvers died of blacklung from the mines this parasite inherited?
Who the fuck cares what the Bible says? I’m under no obligation to live my life guided by fairy tales someone else believes in. If you want to be dumb enough to fall for that, be my guest, but don’t use it to justify immoral behavior.
I’m under no obligation to live my life guided by fairy tales someone else believes in.
Yeah… about that…
You first.
Obviously he misspoke. He meant to say “you”.
Awesome. But. It every job gets you healthcare benefits. And not every job pays enough to afford healthcare through ACA. So fuck off.
I’m assuming that’s a typo, and you don’t really think every job has benefits.
iOS strikes again.
I’ve worked hard labor, while either:
not being provided healcare (many chain stores keep you at 34-36 (I forgot the exact amount) hours a week so you are as close to full time as possible while still being technically part time, or they give you 10 hours a week, no bennies offered either way.)
being offered cheap healthcare that covers nothing with $9000 deductible,
and decent healthcare I couldn’t afford, $80 a week, I was that broke (childcare+rent is like paying 2 rents), but still had the $5000 deductible and copays.
We work, and we still don’t get healthcare.
Well, not federal anyway. My state does okay, but it is easy to be in the gap of not qualifying for state medical, yet still unable to afford employer insurance that may or may not cover necessary care.
Biblically you shouldnt hoard power and wealth and yet that taint of a human does.
