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.”
It’s weird how Christian dominionists never mention the Jubilee. You’re supposed to forgive all debts every seven (edit: 7 sets of 7, 49) years, and you can’t really own land - God does.
The only parts they read in Leviticus are the ones about killing gays though.
That verse you posted said 7x7 years, so every 49 years, with one year off after, so a 50 year cycle. Then I guess they “buy” land throughout the next 50 year cycle based on how many years remain. Ie, if it’s 25 years into the cycle, the price for a field might be half off. Not a terrible system really, for the age. At the end of the cycle, it all goes back to the “clan” to be resold again.
They certainly skipped 18? 19? where it directs people to treat foreigners in your land like the native born.
Biblically, he can suck my cock and nosebang my asshole
Jesus famously didn’t give bread and fish unless you’d been working real hard that year.
Supply Side Jesus
Always love a chance to share this comic:
Wierd he paid someone handsomely. I figured he would say do it for the reviews or experience.
You first.
Former billionaire
One down, 900 to go.
I wish he had black lung instead of just his employees.
Will no one rid me of this meddlesome millionaire?
It doesn’t sound like he has worked a day in wretched life.
Jim Justice Has worked really hard at screwing over everyone who is not a billionaire.

Which Bible? The Pimp’s Bible?
Nah… even Pimp Jesus would back hand this motherfucker
And then Pimp Jesus was chillin with his homies, as it was written by the playas,
Verily I say unto thee, let the motherfucker who says we don’t all deserve free universal healthcare,
Verily may he receive a back handed bitch slap across the face, not one time, but one time again for His dead homies, for this is pleasing unto Him,
The face of hard work:
He looks dead and soulless behind that veneer smile.
Why aren’t these rich assholes able to buy cloths that fit?
I know it’s a side issue to their evil, but it doesn’t make any sense.
“I’m going to wear an expensive suit, but you’re too poor for me to allow you to take my measurements”
He’s at an age where his body is changing rapidly in unexpected ways. It will happen to you, again.
…says the guy who’s never worked for a living
Yeah sure. It also says we are supposed to be stewards of the earth and take care of each other as if we are brothers and sisters. Yet they push legislation to destroy the earth under our “biblical” care and treat others like criminals and garbage. But please go on with your corperate bullshit. The Bible says not to take the lords name in vein. That doesn’t mean shouting “god fucking damnit” when you stubborn your pinky toe. I means using your diety as the reason for entirely unbiblical bullshit. So, basically, go fuck yourself dude.
Amen
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.
We are a post civil society. Everyone thought we were heading towards post capitalism but apparently there are some detours along the way.
Post civil police state
Jesus Christ, famously against feeding and healing the poor.
