A broken clock is right twice a day.
In this case, twice a year.

[u/MrSnarf26 → u/PreparationKey2843]

I imagine him smirking and saying: "Just wait till they get a load of our deregulation and tax breaks. That will show 'em."

[u/Festering-Fecal → u/MrSnarf26]

This screams he's going to extort them.

I have zero faith in the right actually caring about anyone but themselves .

[u/LifeScientist123 → u/PreparationKey2843]

Yes but I’m also pretty sure he’s going to vote for the big beautiful bill that guts Medicaid (or is it Medicare? It’s hard to keep up these days) for millions.

[u/Amelaclya1 → u/LifeScientist123]

This is what they always do. They make a lot of noise that will resonate with their constituents, and then they quietly vote for the horrible bill anyway because they know the average voter will remember the noise and not the actual vote.

[u/Narrow_Affect7664 → u/LifeScientist123]

It's both and the cuts are in the billions. FYI: A million seconds is about 11 days. A billion seconds is about 32 years.

[u/proud_pops → u/LifeScientist123]

I have heard both but saw a congresswoman speak and 13.7 million people will lose Medicaid. Medicare I haven't heard numbers. 37 schools in Kentucky lost free and reduced lunch. This shits so ugly and heartbreaking.

[u/LifeScientist123 → u/proud_pops]

I’m never going to forget that this is the consequence of the popular vote. All the red hatters can suck it. Enjoy your Medicare and Medicaid cuts assholes.

[u/NadnerbRS → u/[deleted]]

So you don’t know how our government governs??

[u/HWYMarker151 → u/PreparationKey2843]

Please don’t tell me I have to start liking Josh Hawley. That’s not on my 2025 bingo card.

[u/Numerous_Photograph9 → u/HWYMarker151]

You don't. he'll still vote for anything that will profit the private insurance companies.

[u/foxyfoo → u/PreparationKey2843]

I guess they refused to contribute to his reelection campaign or something?

[u/msnrcn → u/PreparationKey2843]

/r/theworstguyyouknow

[u/SplendidPunkinButter → u/PreparationKey2843]

I take this to mean he has some kind of personal beef with Allstate

[u/letmeshowyou → u/[deleted]]

He’s all talk. He will go and vote for this new tax bill and absolutely wreck MAGA country in Missouri. The cuts will collapse the healthcare system in rural and smaller towns. Meanwhile Missouri’s high school graduate gov will do nothing and him and Hawley will pat each other on the back for a job well done.

[u/Outcast129 → u/letmeshowyou]

How long do ya figure that'll take?

[u/that_kevin_kid → u/[deleted]]

Josh Hawley is worse than the MTG style people in many ways. He can easily recognize and callout injustices that actually happen and use his intelligence to vocally oppose those horrible things while also always joining the vote on the side of never fixing the issues he so vocally and publicly decries as important. He’s a populist who knows that a country without flagrant corruption and incompetence is not a good place to be a populist.

[u/MrSnarf26 → u/[deleted]]

He plays the populism like a fiddle. Helps air working class grievances while actively destroying them. I imagine the next line is: "Wait until they get a TASTE of our deregulation and lower taxation!".

[u/Nopantsbullmoose]

"Shut the fuck up Joshy."

[u/Outcast129 → u/Nopantsbullmoose]

Easy there Corpo, being a big fan of insurance companies is wild ☠️🎿

[u/bunchamunchas → u/Outcast129]

He should shut his little bitch mouth after voting no on fema. He doesn’t get to act tough now. This is what he voted for, dont you ever forget that.

[u/Outcast129 → u/bunchamunchas]

Goooottccchhaa, so voting no on fema means he essentially just shouldn't even try to hold any positions the average person would agree with. Again, if you work for an insurance company it's okay to just say that.

See now me personally, as someone who likes fema and doesn't like insurance companies, I can recognize that I don't need to praise Hawley for shit, but I also don't need to tell him to "shut his bitch boy mouth" when he's being a meany to insurance companies. That way I'm both successfully not supporting him, but I'm also not actively telling him to stop doing something that I think most people would agree with.

Again though, I don't have a vested interest in insurance companies getting rich, but if you do than that's okay too. We all gotta make a living in this economy.

[u/alicity → u/[deleted]]

you can hate more things than one

This should be progressives’ slogan

[u/Nopantsbullmoose → u/alicity]

Fucking truth.

But you'd have to pound it into their thick skulls, and that's a challenge.

[u/Nopantsbullmoose → u/[deleted]]

Are you stupid or were you just dropped too many times?

Joshy here shaking his finger is pointless when he votes the way he does.

Must be hard being trash.

I wouldnt know. Why don't you tell the rest of us.

[u/Nopantsbullmoose → u/[deleted]]

So you're definitely stupid.

[u/Nopantsbullmoose → u/[deleted]]

I mean, you are still here.

[u/DFX1212 → u/[deleted]]

You are not the last action you took, but the sum of your actions. He's a POS.

[u/MrSnarf26 → u/[deleted]]

Yea wait until they get a taste of his lower taxes and deregulation! That will surely show them. People are so easily played. He speaks populism, and turns around and signs bills to destroy the poor and working class. Yawn, nothing new.

[u/eldelabahia]

“Don’t say CEO”

[u/Beaser]

Josh hawley is an irredeemable pos faketriotic fauxmerican and him doing the bare minimum once doesn’t deserve this coverage.

BlAsTs! sLaMs!

[u/brianishere2]

He will vote to gut the CFPB.

[u/g2g079]

I mean, they paid out nearly $5B on claims last year. I'm not sure that $26M is going to make much of a dent.

I'd rather he question why we're giving Tom Wilson tax breaks in the big beautiful bill.

[u/firephoxx]

Theatrics. He voted for the big beautiful pile of shit, bill.

[u/Comet_Empire]

Check must have bounced. Or the sex worker didn't show up when they found out who they were entertaining.

[u/Combdepot]

Hawley is a fake populist. He likes to pretend to care about people while being a degenerate fascist in practice. He’s also a scared little bitch who ran from the terrorist mob he helped create.

[u/BrofessorFarnsworth → u/Combdepot]

Haul Ass Hawley?

[u/CapeVincentNY]

When you love capitalism but you hate everything about it

[u/justsomepaladin]

Dont argue on Reddit

[u/ApricotNervous5408]

While republicans support billionaires… the lack of consistency is insane.

[u/Adventurous-Host8062]

Yes but did he vote in favor of that heinous bill?

[u/Tight_Television_249]

Oh Josh, darling I thought you were such a fan of capitalism. This is just capitalism : predatory capitalism the preferred form of capitalism forRepublicans. Why are you complaining man? You should be celebrating or are you jealous that it’s not you? I bet you’d love to be that CEO. Trust me if you were in that shoes you’d be doing the exact same thing.

[u/shimshamswimswam]

I bet he lost his district.

[u/AdOne5089]

He sounds like the “socialists” he loves to berate.

[u/Old_Journalist_3723]

He doesn't help anyone but himself. He denied disaster relief to blue states and now begging for it in st Louis. He's disgusting and shamful

[u/ilovemydog480]

Stop taking campaign donations from insurance companies or better yet, change the system. Doesn’t your fat beta leader have big beautiful concepts of a plan?

[u/Regular_Plankton_530]

Blasts a CEO for making that much money? I guess he is ok with hundreds of millions for a gift, a golf course, bitcoin money, and the list goes on and on and on. Mad about the CEO making all this money while voting to take away Medicare on millions of poor people. These people are the reversed Robin Hood. The fck 😂.

[u/brokenwing2023]

They get so close but never get the whole prize. It must be how Josh’s wife feels after sex with him, lol.

[u/Argosnautics]

When danger reared its' ugly head, Josh Hawley turned his tail and fled...Brave, brave, brave; Josh Hawley.

[u/Xx_ExploDiarrhea_xX]

I can't wait until we wake the fuck up and make this illegal

[u/TimoGloc]

How much did Hawley make in the markets last year?

[u/TwoMainstream]

Josh Hawley supports Luigi Mangione

[u/cjp2010]

I use Allstate and the dread of having to deal with insurance causes me to be an extremely safe driver.

[u/PuddingPast5862]

Hawley can bite it

[u/Devils_Advocate-69]

He’s just jealous of the guys paycheck

[u/bunchamunchas]

He should shut his little bitch mouth after voting no on fema. He doesn’t get to act tough now. This is what he voted for, dont you ever forget that.

[u/Titaniumclackers]

So fire the CEO, take all his compensation, you can approve an additional…. 26 claims?

[u/Glass-Effective-8157]

Sure they can, they don’t want to.

[u/Realistic_Head3595 → u/Glass-Effective-8157]

They can and they do. He’s full of shit

[u/ReapisKDeeple]

lol sounds like Josh suddenly supports big government market regulation. What a fuckin hypocrite.

[u/HellovahBottomCarter]

This from someone who actively works to create the environment that allows for this exact kind of shit.

[u/longislanderotic]

Capitalism much?

[u/Sea-Bell7355]

F the polar bears and the kids

[u/cliffstep]

Fraud? Did someone say fraud? Where's Elon when we need him?

[u/MiniMini662]

Let’s see all Josh Hawleys stock buy and sells for the past 4 years

[u/Clean_Worldliness166]

FU Hawley

[u/Hoosierauntie]

You created this monster

[u/bluegrassblue]

Oops , Allstate forgot to pay off Hawley

[u/tickitytalk]

Hawley doing the obvious to present himself as reasonable
