Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

They don’t care. The cruelty is the point.
Stop wasting your life playing vidyagaems. Start wasting your life creating shareholder value.
You're a drain on resources you authoritarian bootlicker.
He had me at "Return the dignity of work".
I don't think that he has any intention to do that, but that would certainly go a long way towards getting people to work like he wants.

I'd wager I get more done by 8 AM than Johnson gets done all day.
Bonus: I don't wake up until 9 AM.
Mike Johnson, you know who's "draining resources?"
Your mother.
I‘m curious if he told Elmo the same. The ~~guy~~ nazi who streams gaming content from his private jet 30% of his day, posts shit on shitter 60% of the day and fucks up democracy 20% of the day.
This is what these productivity gurus are referring to when they‘re talking about giving 110% every day

Many men look at the pain/reward ratio and it's not actually worth it. People are rational: toiling away to at best afford a tiny apartment that takes up half your salary while the other half is spent on food is not alluring. Ironically, this guy is in a position to alter society so the rewards are not so small and instead he chooses moral condemnation as the tool to motivate, as though his castigation will change the equation. He may be an idiot or may be very intelligent and just exploiting the system by saying what people want to hear to distract from the real problem.
I’ll give up my fantasy worlds when you give up yours. Yours has been far more detrimental to the world.
They targeted gamers.
Big call out by a man with so much free time his son has to monitor his porn usage
That always disturbed me. It’s disturbing that he mentioned it publicly and doesn’t find anything wrong with it.
Hes totally a drain on Oxygen ressources. He should stop using it.
Lmao fuck all the way off, Christian Dominionist Captain Narnia
I've been working since I was 13. But I think my avocado toast budget just can't be cut any further.
He hates them because they're fun and he's republican. Sad and pathetic to end up so cross.
Well since its always projection with these losers, I wonder what he's been playing lately that he feels so guilty about.
Anime-based porn games... Doesn't filter out by his son.
‘They’re draining resources’
... from their rich overlords.
That's what he means.
This must be a sign from God that I need to pursue the American dream of monetized game streaming.
Mike Johnson needs to drain my butt while I drain resources. In other words, eat shit, you fucknutter.

I just finished working four 12 hour shifts dealing with morons and shitty people, Mike. I'll play some god damn video games if I want to.
Pay people more work and have them do dignified jobs (ie: not making them pee in a bottle) and you'd have more people working.
Treat people like shit and crash the global economy, not so much.
But it's not like conservatives care about making sense of being consistent. Hang mike johnson.
Mike Johnson, you are cordially invited to fuck all the way off with that delusional bullshit.
When the hell will 'wholly detached rich guy says other people should work harder to make him even richerer' stop being so fucking common? I see like one of these a month minimum these days. Man, fuck every one of these assclowns.
Hey now, the reason I game so much is cause I have insomnia. I go to work!
Couldn't you get some kind of medication to help with that from our wonderful healthcare system . . . ah, yes, I see the problem now.
Well-paying jobs are everywhere! In fact, I had three job offers hit me in the face just now while I was walking my dog.
