From the foldings of its robe, it brought two children; wretched, abject, frightful, hideous, miserable. They knelt down at its feet, and clung upon the outside of its garment.
“Oh Man! look here. Look, look down here!” exclaimed the Ghost.
They were a boy and a girl. Yellow, meagre, ragged, scowling, wolfish but prostrate too in their humility. Where graceful youth should have filled their features out, and touched them with its freshest tints, a stale and shrivelled hand, like that of age, had pinched and twisted them and pulled them into shreds. Where angels might have sat enthroned, devils lurked, and glared out menacing. No change, no degradation, no perversion of humanity, in any grade through all the mysteries of wonderful creation, has monsters half so horrible and dread.
Scrooge started back, appalled. Having them shewn to him in this way, he tried to say, they were fine children, but the words choked themselves, rather than be parties to a lie of such enormous magnitude.
“Spirit! are they yours?” Scrooge could say no more.
“They are Man’s,” said the Spirit, looking down upon them. “And they cling to me, appealing from their fathers. This boy is Ignorance. This girl is Want. Beware them both, and all of their degree, but most of all beware this boy, for on his brow I see that written which is Doom, unless the writing be erased. Deny it!” cried the Spirit, stretching out its hand towards the city. “Slander those who tell it ye! Admit it for your factious purposes, and make it worse! And bide the end!”
“Have they no refuge or resource?” cried Scrooge.
“Are there no Prisons?” said the Spirit, turning on him for the last time with his own words. “Are there no workhouses?”
The bell struck Twelve.
I don’t think I’ve ever read the source material but dang that’s like 70% iambic and I respect that
I have avidly watched several cinematic adaptations of Shakespeare, Some several times (Ian Mckellen Richard III ❤️), I was in AP English in highschool, a good portion of which was Shakespeare…I still can’t fully understand wtf iambic pentameter means. It sure sounds cool though.
This man Laughing at Poor People while Taking away their Healthcare is going to Heaven!
This man purports to follow Jesus teachings and honor the bible - by mocking and terrorizing the poor in order to enrich himself. Either he is lying and has no religious affiliation - or he is so self deluded he thinks what he is doing is ok. Either way - total hypocrite.
Says the guy who watches his son jerk off or let’s his son watch him jerk off.
Mike Johnson had to get approval from his AIPAC handler before mocking Americans losing their Medicaid. Meanwhile, US taxpayers still fund free healthcare for Israel.
Not to mention these chucklefucks.
Did he accidentally graphically describe the appearance of his oldest son’s penish flesh mid-speech?
Mike Johnson is such a dickless bastard
Bar b q sauce makes anything taste good
And yet he’ll continue enjoying the benefits of his socialized healthcare

His “mistake” is the genocide of our society’s most vulnerable.
His face is so punchable.
I’m sure all that arrogance will keep him safe from the people he’s about to disenfranchise. The people who have illnesses, diseases, injuries, and chronic pain that make their lives almost not worth living, but thank goodness they have medical care to assuage the suffering just enough. I’m sure those people won’t have an axe to grind if someone decided to deride them mercilessly as unproductive societal waste as they’re just trying to get through the day without treatment or medication.
Mike Johnson doesnt even have a real bank account. His entire job is to suck Trump’s dick. You do something FUCKING constructive like you are supposed to! ‘Bout had it with these fucking congressional princesses doing jack shit and then thinking we owe them. I’m fucken losin’ it over here watching every one of these cunts just rape my country.
Mike Johnson hasn’t reported his bank account to oversight. it’s very dubious that he doesn’t had a bank account at all.

No, I think you got it just right.
Don’t forget the patriotic sign up top!
“Heroes Work Here” 🤘🏼
I just want to check if within those millions of Americans there is one called “John Mikeson”, to be able to say with certainty that :
Mike Johnson is Mocking John Mikeson
Such a fine title would make Medicaid the least of people’s worries hah
I’m sure we can find a few Jón Mikaelsons.
