    You know how the right tried to twist the truth? They told, on camera, that Trump wants to continue SNAP but legally can’t.

    I really want to see a reporter ask them how that fits with reality now.

    Can we please for the love of God have a judge actually enforce their order for once? He has shown over and over that he’s just going to do what he wants. The rest of us would have to sleep on a jail bench for a few days then still be forced to comply.

      That’s what happens when the Supreme Court decides that when the president does it, it’s not illegal. He does what he wants because the Republican justices decided that The President is above the law. There literally isn’t any legal way for a judge to enforce their orders over Trump.

      We’re approaching a huge turning point in US (and world) history. Either republicans are going to mostly lose for a long time (at least 6 years if I were to guess), maybe until they demonstrate they’ve changed, OR they are going to succeed at rigging or cancelling elections so they don’t have to give up power. I don’t think we can expect much in between those two extremes. Makes my stomach queasy as hell to think about.

    But then when reporters questioned Levitt, she barked back that he IS NOT withholding them and they are being sent out as needed.

    Why is it that the president makes some unhinged, mental social media post, then the white house has to translate that for the media? This is absurd and they all need to be removed from office for incompetence, then charged for all the crimes they have committed.

      Why do yall keep saying things like this. It feels like there are dozens of people trapped in the thinking that somewhere some other grown ups will be the grown ups for them.

      These are the people who have been picked and who have the power.

      They won’t be arresting themselves, and they wont allow fair and free elections if no one forces the issue.

    Yeah, the government needs to be open and functioning for SNAP to work. Right? All i hear is that SNAP isnt going to work until the government is open, and that is up to the democratics to open it? What am I missing?

    Ive lived in the hood, and everyone there was selling their SNAP. I did.

    Just some 1st hand knowledge for you posers.

    P.s. I know some people do legit use though too, I did that too. It just is what it is.
