BPR:
President Joe Biden was ripped on social media after he suggested in an address Monday that Americans getting federal unemployment benefits could be cut off from them if they refused to take a job.
“We’re going to make it clear that anyone collecting unemployment who is offered a suitable job must take the job or lose their unemployment benefits,” Biden said on Monday in remarks from the East Room at the White House.
Biden also addressed the ransomware attack that has taken Colonial Pipeline’s vital fuel artery offline for days, leading to shortages along the East Coast, as well as April’s disappointing job figures, which he appeared to dismiss.
But it was his comments about requiring Americans to get jobs that triggered the most virulent responses on social media.
Warning: Strong language
“F**k you,” one user wrote in response.
“President Joe Biden….” That’s the most vile 3 words ever put together.
I want a job where I can steal lots of money from the tax-payer and foreign companies while smoking crack and screwing whores!
My Social Security cost of living increase will be so great that they will be able to tax it to nothing and take 15% more….
Any minute now, Romney, Cheney et al are going to start start grumbling about how taking unemployment away from the poor layabouts is going to cost votes in 2022.
Ha! Obama is calling all the shots and, (just like before), someone else is getting the blame.
…I would say “F**k you” to the Pedophile myself, but for a large number of different reasons, not just this…

You talking about one of those Ukrainian gas company coordinator jobs?
Bring back some sort of workfare. Wouldn’t want to take away jobs from people who’re actually productive, so it would have be some kink of ‘busy work’. Fill a warehouse half full of cinder blocks, everyday welfare recipients can come in and move all the blocks from one side to another. The next day they can move them all back.
