The quiet part out loud - Die For The DOW Round 2

[Ruby the Liberal]

This gem was linked in Jeff Tiedrich's new piece and its brazenness literally caught my breath.

This racist asshole isn't some rando pundit. He was the former GOP chief counsel for the Senate Judiciary Committee and law clerk for Justice Gorsuch - and was instrumental in getting Gorsuch nominated and confirmed.

(Sorry about the Xitter link - I don't know how to post a screen shot here)

We should only help people who can’t help themselves.

It’s outrageous 40MM people get food stamps.

Get off your fat, ghetto asses.

Get a job.

Stop reproducing.

Change your shitty culture.

Stop giving food stamps to immigrants.

We don’t want you here, if you won’t work.

Mini rant - How long before they just break down and openly declare the elderly, infirm and disabled "useless eaters", a "drain on society", and sell their gullible base on the eugenicist fever dream that permanently eliminating healthcare access and food assistance is in the best interest of the country as it will allow the masters of the universe to repurpose that money for "America First" investment objectives like backstopping dictators in other hemispheres.

...which will be swallowed hook, line and sinker, as finally, THIS TIME, that money will SURELY trickle down just like they've been promised since the Reagan administration. Their reward for being white and loyal to the party.

We are drowning in hate, greed and stupidity. Its really exhausting.

1. The only drain on this earth are people like mike davis; thieves, looters, rapists, liars, scammers, haters

Their brains are permanently infected with low vibrational thought processes. They will never come to senses..

[SamKnause]

2. Fuck you Mike Davis !!!

Do you want lazy children to get a job ???

Do you want lazy retired seniors, on a fixed income depending on Social Security to get a job ???

Do you want the lazy disabled people to get a job ???

Do you want all the people who have jobs, but get food stamps, to get another job ???

Do you want people who have been laid off and looking for work to starve before they find a new job ???

Fuck off Mike Davis.

People like you are a waste of resources !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are breathing air and drinking water that could go to a decent person.

You don't deserve either.

[Grolph_]

3. I am tired of being polite

Time to start telling the white christo-fascists to F-off.
They do not speak for me nor do they speak for anyone else.
We must tell them they are wrong.

[Trueblue Texan]

11. Exactly! Why should we mince words for these pigs?

They deserve every ounce of truth we can slam them with!

4. Rising Number of Men Don't Want to Work. From Newsweek 5/6/24

American men are opting out of the workforce at unforeseen rates.

For many, it's not an issue of not being able to find a job. They have simply opted out altogether. The Bureau of Labor Statistics found only 89 percent of working age men have a job or are actively looking for work. In 1950, that number was at 97 percent.

I'm sure their not all dems & libs.

[mwmisses4289]

6. How many of them are opting out

because the jobs they really want- those high paying, cushy, corner office with a view jobs, whether they have the skills for them or not- are never going to be in their reach? Or that high paying sports contract?
Not saying this very well, but I bet a lot of this is tied up with how they view their place in the world, and whether they are "white" and deserve that high paying job simple because they are "white".

8. These are either people with a nest egg or those with criminal records who can't get a legit job

I'd guess it is a mix of both. Plus substance abusers living with someone on Social Security.

[Hugin]

10. I think it has to do with wage stagnation and the law of diminishing returns.

With wages stagnant for over forty five years it’s reached the point where many are literally paying to work. So, why bother.

I think this is true for everyone who gets a W2. The turnover rate in the service sector is astronomical.

[bronxiteforever]

5. Birds of a feather, flock together. Anyone reporter ask Gorsuch

if Davis speaks for him or others on the Court? The public has a right to know and question whether Gorsuch is a racist.

[kimbutgar]

7. All the immigrants i have encountered in my life are the hardest workers and do the job that fat lazy white

People won’t do!

And I bet Mr Davis says he’s a good xtian while ignoring this verse in the bible.

•Do not mistreat foreigners living in your country, 34 but treat them just as you treat your own citizens. Love foreigners as you love your-selves, because you were foreigners one time in Egypt. I am the Lord your God.

Leviticus 19:33-34

9. Feeds at the public trough

Mike Davis
Federalist Society Bio page

Snip

As Chief Counsel for Nominations, Davis advised Chairman Grassley and other senators on the confirmation of federal judges and senior Executive Branch appointees, serving as staff lead for 30 hearings and 41 markup meetings. He oversaw the floor votes for 278 nominees, including the confirmations of Justice Brett Kavanaugh and the record number of circuit judges confirmed during President Trump’s first two years in office.

Davis has served in all three branches of the federal government, including for President George W. Bush, the Justice Department, House Speaker Newt Gingrich, and current Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch. Davis also led the outside support team for Justice Gorsuch’s successful confirmation to the Supreme Court.

Snip

Well my, my, my. Who’s the Welfare Queen feeding at the public trough? 😬🙄

Yeah! I wonder how many American taxpayers did without to pay his exorbitant salary, hmm? Not to mention things like retirement, PTO, health insurance?

Oh and he received his BA and JD from the University of Iowa! Not only funded by State money but

The University of Iowa received $315 million in federal funding in Fiscal Year 2024, which represented 39% of the institution's external funding. This funding supports research projects, with the National Science Foundation (NSF) alone providing a record high of $18 million for UI research in FY2024.

Total Federal Funding: $315 million (FY 2024).

Percentage of External Funding: 39%.

Key Source (NSF): $18 million for research projects in FY 2024.

Ya know people who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.

Jest sayin…

12. Elections have consequences

The social safety net is necessary and a core Democratic Party value. We need to focus on core values and common sense. We have to get our credibility back with the working and middle classes of all demographics.

[Demobrat]

13. The math doesn't math when

the job doesn’t pay enough for gas to get to work and back.

[pecosbob]

14. Billions that go to Walmart every month...how long until they start screaming at the orange turd and his posers?

[Lonestarblue]

15. Trump and his warped supporters like Davis are fully in the Hitler camp of some people having worth and others not.

Most of history’s focus on the Holocaust has been on the Jews because 6 million were killed, but hitler also killed another 5 million for various reasons. Those who were physically or mentally disabled, the Rom with their impure blood, black people, anyone deemed not pure. Trump and Republicans would love to kick all our disabled and elderly off care and force their families to go into bankruptcy to care for them, at least those who have families.

To people like Davis, being born a poor minority (ghetto asses) means you have no worth and deserve to starve. Most of these so-called self-made white men had family connections and white privilege to help them succeed, yet they love to castigate others who have no such help as being lazy and worthless. Disgusting.

[Demobrat]

17. Ghetto asses - only black single mothers are on SNAP.

Can’t wait to see the pics of the white MAGAts lining up at the food banks.

[mgardener]

16. I worked at the food shelf yesterday

Record number of families served.
I had a woman cry. Had to choose between heat and food.
All mentioned the SNAP cuts and looming Medicaid.

It is a disgrace.

May Mike Smith rot on the lowest circle of hell.

[Wednesdays]

18. There's a gazillion things wrong with the statement

...that one has a hard time knowing where to start.

For one, the word "ghetto" is strongly racist.

But don't tell him that the plurality of SNAP benefits go to white people (37%), more than blacks (26%) and hispanics (16%).

[Johonny]

19. One side of their mouths, we need more babies

Other side of mouth, why are there so many free loaders . . .

[moondust]

20. Just inherit half a billion $$$ !!!

Slosh it around and occasionally go bankrupt but never forget that you, too, can someday become an utterly corrupt President without ever doing an honest day's work!!!!

Amirite, Mike? Mike?
