The supreme court has issued an emergency order temporarily blocking full Snap food aid payments.
The high court’s order came after the Trump administration asked a federal appeals court on Friday to block a judge’s order that it distribute November’s full monthly food stamp benefits amid a US federal government shutdown.
After that request to block was denied, the Trump administration turned to the supreme court in a further attempt to block the order to fully fund Snap food aid payments.
The application to stay reads: “If forced to transfer funds to Snap to make full November allotments, there is no means for the government to recoup those expenditures – which is quintessential irreparable harm. Once those payments are made, there is every indication that the States will promptly disburse them. And once disbursed, the government will be un-able to recover any funds. Worse, these harms will only compound if the decision below stands.
I honestly can"t tell if you’re serious…
I am serious. They can just keep adding it to the list of charges that will be levelled against him, once he’s removed from office. Steve Bannon wasn’t joking when he said they will all be going to prison, when this is over.
He never did time for any of the crimes he committed last time he was in office. What reason is there to believe it’ll be different this time?
That was because they started investigating those cases a little late. But the cases against him would have warranted prison time, if they had gone to trial.
This time around, he’s doing even more illegal shit, and being super obviously about it. He doesn’t seem to understand that everything he’s doing is going to be used against him. His reckoning is coming.
