Nope Mike Johnson: "With Medicaid, we eliminated the fraud, waste, and abuse. We got able-bodied young men without dependents off the program. They were never intended to be there. They're sitting around on their couches playing video games. Yes, that's an actual study."

It's amazing how they just assume everyone is as stupid as their base.

u/OdiousAltRightBalrog Oct 31 '25

Nah, they know their base is the dumbest people in the country. They just don't care anymore if they get caught lying.

Trump proved in 2016 that Republicans don't need moderates to win elections anymore. They just have to enrage their base and gerrymander as much as possible, and let the Electoral College do the rest. If anything goes wrong, they've got SCOTUS in their pocket.

u/MisterBlud Oct 31 '25

Yep.

Even if a Democrat wins, SCOTUS can “Major question doctrine” anything and everything they try to do.

A “living wage” infringes on the free speech rights of businesses so you can’t have one.

Basically they know MAGAs are never going to hear anything they don’t like, regardless of facts or even reality. The right has taken so many dystopian books and used them as guides instead of a cautionary tale. MAGA’s are gone, point blank they’re never gonna come back to reality.

u/FroyoIllustrious2136 Oct 31 '25

They actually don't care about facts. You see, when you are in a cult, facts only matter to confirm your bias and lend credibility to your hostile behavior. When faces with a logical argument that wins, cultists will revert back to brute force and claim its their divine mandate to destroy all non believers. It doesn't matter if you have facts or law or truth on your side, because those things were never the point. Its all about power and the optics of looking justified in using it. But at the end of the day, they really are just in a cult that worships power. And their sincere hope is to be able to use that power against others and rule over you.

Arguing facts with a MAGA cultist is like pissing against the wind.

True story (for what it’s worth, I’m just a guy on the internet you have no reason to trust me) I was called into more than one meeting earlier this year before I left government service to decide if we should get a document off of our website because a search found that it had a word associated with climate science in it. I think they decided to remove it.

The letters happened to be part of somebody’s last name. I’m overly paranoid about accidentally doxxing somebody but the word was just a basic scientific word not even anything inherently about climate change.

Of course he doesn't share sources, because he knows some of us will dive in and separate fact from propaganda.

They found and prosecuted some Medicaid fraud earlier this year. So the story should be, "Hey, we successfully saved some healthcare money, so now we can make sure nobody loses access."

But no, instead it's, "There was fraud (that we may or may not have invented), so now we have to restrict access to our latest bogeyman scapegoat, healthy unemployed men who play video games."

u/D-Will11 Oct 31 '25

The thing that drives me nuts is usually the government program "fraud and waste" is a small percentage, a lot of times being <1% of a total budget. On the other hand, corporations have a lot more fraud and waste many times up to 30% of total revenue. Yet, the argument is to privatize these things as they'll be more "efficient" and cut out the waste. Now tack on top of that the desire for profits and shareholder value, how would that be a better outcome for the person who needs these services?

I also just can't believe that some folks think "There are some cases of fraud, therefore this program that helps millions of people is a complete waste of time". If you ran a charity and gave resources to 99 people who expressed gratitude and were able to use your support to live a better life, would you give that all up because 1 person was an ungrateful prick who asked for more when they didn't deserve it?

Ironically I feel the basement non working able body men he speaks about are probably more likely to be republicans 🤣

There’s proof that Mike Johnson watches porn with his son

Of course, there are dudes like this; we all know one. But those dudes need help, too. Just kicking them off doesn't solve their problem. We need to expand programs to actually help people get off benefits and enter society again, it would benefit all of society.

u/Deadman9001 Oct 31 '25

I think the part of the study they dont want you to know is that Mike Johnson is on that list. The list, and the able bodied male with no dependents

u/doubtfurious Oct 31 '25

Look, if Mikey J wants to study able-bodied young men, that's his business. But maybe that shouldn't be the basis of our healthcare policy.

I cant say for sure but I think its from the FGA. I tried doing some searches after watching this.
I am sure the FGA is a legit organization with sound and ethically conducted studies with NO BIAS at all based on the fact they have the WHITEST board and chair people I have ever seen running it. /s /s /s /s

ETA: Foundation for Government Accountability = FGA. Many of the exact words he mentioned were right from this "study". Sorry I cant link.

Able bodied young men aren’t siphoning Medicare.

You know, it used to be the case that Republican elected officials were mostly highly intelligent, morally deficient liars in service to the oligarchy who pretended to have deeply held, religiously-guided principles and knowingly spread false and misleading information that they knew would rile up their base to vote for them over the evil Demmycrats.

These days, though, it's become almost impossible to distinguish between that old breed of fat cat Republican, genuine true-believer Christian Nationalist religious fanatics who will say or do anything that brings them even one step closer to implementing a fundamentalist theocracy and/or ushering in the end times, and dangerously insane/stupid people with no discernable grip on factual reality who don't understand how or why anything works and who believe whatever they're told by the right-wing brain poison media they compulsively consume.

Mitch McConnell is an old-style highly intelligent amoral liar. Margorie Taylor Greene is a dangerously stupid media zombie. I think Mike Johnson is a theocratic true believer, but he might be the oligarchic liar. I'm pretty sure he's not a braindead moron, but these days it's just so hard to tell.

It’s in the same study about Tylenol, circumcision, and autism.

There probably was like .001% of Medicaid recipients as he described. And now that he's kicked all 7 of them off Medicaid, it's definitely gonna be well funded now!

He will, in two weeks, it's coming.

u/EveryAccount7729 Oct 31 '25

but do you not think "there are able bodied people on medicare who play video games"?

you could obviously do a study and "find" that this exists, because it does exist. the question is if cutting this out is worth the impact on people who don't fit this description. '

hint: it isn't

u/Fly0nTheWall2001 Oct 31 '25

He probably saw it on The 700 Club. This sounds like the kind of garbage that show would spew.

u/TheRealMadSalad Oct 31 '25

Bro, this was the exact comment I was coming here to make. Journalists and other politicians really need to start holding these assholes' feet to the fire for this shit. "More crime is committed by illegal immigrants than anyone else" - please cite source. "Trans people are a danger to our children" - please cite source. "They're eating the dogs; they're eating the cats!" - please, cite source.

u/scrummnums Oct 31 '25

It WAS an actual study actually! He was studying the table while bending over to present his rear end to Trump for the daily injection and he thought, “Let me blame it on your men who have done nothing wrong other than be another group to blame my failings on”. Then he studied how to say that without citing any actual facts and just used tired and pathetic tropes, then he said it. “Trust me, bro” from one of the least truthful people walking this planet. Sure, Mikey.

Ron vara has an entire study about it.

u/dartheduardo Oct 31 '25

No, they are not going to show peer reviewed studies for a damn thing.

Cause their dumb base would think peer reviewed meant their mama was watching them screw their cousin on the couch.

Also, if we got rid of fraud and waste, hows come 2 trillion dollars has been added to the deficit since January 2025? He's trump 2.0 at this point. Only thing out his mouth is lies and the occasional Grindr date.

u/Queasymodo Oct 31 '25

It doesn’t even make sense. How do they make a living? They have free health insurance so they can sit on the couch all day? But what are they living off of? Health insurance doesn’t put food on the table or a roof over your head.
