Worse yet - have we, as a society, really fallen to the point where we need Dr. Oz to give us the advice “Don’t just let people take a major faceplant”?
USDA has already distributed full SNAP funds to the states, many states have already funded people’s EBT for the month, and the money is already being spent, but Trump is STILL begging the Supreme Court to let him literally steal candy from babies.
It’s kind of amazing how he keeps denying himself an easy propaganda win. The tweet writes itself - “Despite the Democrat shutdown caused by Cryin’ Chuck Schumer and many others who want free Healthcare for illegals, Transgender for everyone, and many other terrible things, it is my honor to guarantee that SNAP will be funded in full for the many Patriots who need this important service. THANK YOU, PRESIDENT TRUMP!”
He’s too far gone to see he’s making a villain of himself.
On the rare occasion(s) I have gone to that despicable news site their headlines and written articles are sometimes unbelievably on the money.
May it is just the broadcast news that gets everything all wrong?
Trump-branded wine and cider is now being sold in Coast Guard-run stores, which provide service members and their families with access to tax-free consumer goods.
I imagine it won’t be too long before Trump starts hawking his goods from the Oval Office. The GOP will say that he just works so hard, he doesn’t have time to make his commercials somewhere else.
Bafflingly, the Supreme Court has stayed the order for SNAP funds to be paid out (which has already happened) pending the 1st Circuit’s decision of whether to issue its own stay pending appeal (which they already denied), with Ketanji Brown Jackson (!) signing the order.
Um…could you (or someone) possibly channel Nina Totenberg and decipher that a bit?
My Law &Order law degree didn’t go this far.
ETA: this helps. A little.
Food stamps: Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson late Friday temporarily halted a lower court order that would have required the Trump administration to fund food stamps in full, fueling new uncertainty around the anti-hunger program’s immediate fate. The justice did not rule on the legality of the White House’s actions. Instead, she imposed a pause meant to give an appeals court more time to weigh the legal arguments raised by the government, as it seeks to withhold funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program during the shutdown. Some states had already said that they were preparing to send out full food stamp benefits.
I learned a new word today. One I’ll forget, yet remember is a word: Illeism (referring to oneself in the third person)
Bob Dole did it a lot, which was weird. Outside of unreliable narrators in fiction, this Shit Bomber is the only President to do it constantly. I guess it’s just tweets - as a slumlord and shitty Casino operator in the 80’s/90’s it was his lawyers doing the talking in bankruptcy court.
I reckon he has already registered his hatred of the newly elected NYC mayor. If Trump had run in the 90’s Trump would have been mayor.
No kidding, The guy has been failing upwards his whole life. He had a guaranteed reelection in 2020, except that he completely botched Covid. It was the greatest gift given to an incumbent Republican president since 9/11, which forced America to get behind the 2nd dumbest president ever (who now looks like a Mount Rushmore candidate compared to the current chimp-in-charge).
I guess that’s why I haven’t heard any Trump response to the Sandwich Guy’s acquittal. I keep looking for it in secondhand news sources (I’m not going to try to visit TS) and nada.
ICE trying to keep tabs on children just shows the compassion of this administration. Warms my heart, it does. /s
“The ICE notice did not specify why the greater Nashville area was chosen as the intended site. But CoreCivic Inc., one of the largest private detention contractors in the U.S., is headquartered there. The company, which has donated millions to GOP candidates at all levels of government, has benefited from a surge in ICE contracts.”
Hey people already believe this crap. In another post I mentioned one of my customers told me today that ebt got funded because the Democrats wouldn’t “let,” the funding go through til after the election.
