  1. Oh boy, I can’t wait until there’s consequences for that decision!

    I’m being facetious.

    They still think that people are actually blaming democrats for the shutdown. He’s just shooting himself in the foot at this point. So delusional.

    The “legal system” currently only exists to prosecute Trump’s enemies and the lower class. Any lower courts offering “opinions” will be subsequently discarded and ignored.

  4. Cool, and I will continue doing my civic duty to remind Americans who is causing this, even if they don’t listen. Even if they deny it. I hope those of you reading this can help me out with this, battle the lies, reaffirm the truths. Be exhaustingly truthful. No whatabouts. No “imagine” this, “imagine” that stuff. I’m tired of reading it, you’re tired of reading it. Our “imaginations” are abundant. They help no one. Live in reality. Keep the course and dialogue righted.

    Read the articles, baby bird the truth to those too lazy. In this case, the message is simple in this article:

    Trump is starving my neighbors and your neighbors. All for vanity and pettiness.

    and that includes you who support him. Especially you.

    Think about that if you voted for him, and happen to be waiting in a food pantry line today, wondering why this is happening. Look at the headline, read the article. Read outside your bubble. If you have a kid in tow, look down at them. Think about THEIR future. Your ego is so small in the grand scheme of things, but your capacity for good is limitless. All it takes is a bit of humility, even if your ego doesn’t allow you to vote for the obvious better choice, not voting for the abuser (by sitting out even) is just as equally viable.

  5. Trump is immune but not his minions, dreg them into court and fine them personally until they comply

    This shows more than ever that the shutdown is owned by the GOP . They are intentionally employing coercion and the shutdown to push their demands on Democrats.

    >President Donald Trump said Tuesday that federal food benefits won’t be distributed until after Democrats agree to reopen the government.

    “Fuck ’em. Let them eat cake. After all, I got mine off the backs of their labor, and off the lack of their education (thanks to our decades of defunding and curriculum corruption).”

  8. so now it is obvious to almost everyone that Trump intends to starve the poor…ideal for today’s elections

  9. “The U.S. Department of Agriculture, which administers SNAP, had said Monday it would abide by a court order to pay at least partial benefits.”

    He will give 40 Billion to Argentina but starving American families he insist must starve all the while throwing himself a gatsby party.

    They mean he is breaking the law,

    He didn’t defy a court order since he doesn’t have the power to defy the courts.

    He is breaking the law. outright. In plain sight.

    We deserve better

    Not surprising. If you’re surprised by this, or think he’ll face consequences for it, you’re a fucking idiot.

  13. What’s the point of a legal system if republicans are allowed to just ignore rulings. Why should anyone follow laws? If our government has no obligation to follow the rule of law then the whole system breaks down

  14. We’re now at the stage where it doesn’t matter what the government says if Trump doesn’t say it.

  15. TheGretzkyofGarbage on

    Do Trump supporters need any MORE evidence??? It’s not just democrats, he’s fucking EVERYONE. Impeach this asshole and throw him in prison!

  16. Does the moron in chief know that his beloved hillbilly red states are the majority users of snap /wic ?

    So let them get pissed at him.

  17. And his supporters who rely on this and need it will still defend him. It. Is. A. CULT.

  18. Typical of a tyrant. Trump doesn’t care about anyone except the rich. He doesn’t care if people go hungry.

    All this behavior should have had him impeached and the 25th Amendment invoked long ago.

  19. dwntwn_dine_ent_dist on

    Election day gift. The messaging around ACA subsidies and how that relates to SNAP via the shutdown made it unclear to some about who the villain was. This is a straight line: Trump chose to break the law to starve you.

  20. MysteryNeighbor on

    “The Democrats are holding back the benefits” says the guy literally holding back the benefits

  21. Another illegal, impeachable offense. Yay. Nothing of consequence will happen and we all know it. Thanks Justice Roberts! We won’t forget it!

  22. If Trump refuses to pay either partially or in full for SNAP, some Trump administration officials will be dragged into court, and I predict it will not end well for them.

  23. Nice of him to say that on Election Day. He always said he could shoot a man in the street and wouldn’t lose voters.

    Let’s see if he can literally starve his voters and lose voters.

    I hope the exit polls make reference to this.

  24. This is the result of someone that’s never been told “no” from the time he was born.

  25. Jabberwocky2022 on

    “Trump said Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits “will be given only when the Radical Left Democrats open up government, which they can easily do, and not before!””

    So, who is holding SNAP recipients hostage so millions lose healthcare subsidies and their costs go up even more under his administration?

    The only upside to him being so dumb, so dumbly confident, and so blatant is that he acts against his own best interest. He doesn’t care about debt, or cutting costs or any other lies. So, he could simply force his Republican puppets in the Senate and House to extend healthcare subsidies, end the shutdown, restore SNAP benefits to his voters and move on. Instead, because Democrats are fighting for something he is against it no matter how much harm comes to us and politically for Republicans in the process.

    He wants food riots so that he has an excuse to impose Martial Law. It’s the classic authoritarian tactic of creating the problem then going “strong man” to solve it.

  27. I can’t wait to not see the consequences for his actions from all the spineless dems and republicans.

  28. He wants civil unrest. He has a year to orchestrate a valid reason to cancel the midterm elections. This is the plan, as well as an election promise
