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.
So, let me get this straight -
Either the Dems surrender health care for Americans,
or…
MAGA is going to starve us to death?
Imagine when American citizens, even children, start dying of STARVATION in America because the wealthiest government in the world, led by dozens of Psychopathic Oligarchs, DELIBERATELY engineered it so they could pay less taxes?
Yeah, that’s the government we want.
Maybe this will inspire some people to vote differently?
It could, if anybody on the Dem side had any idea how to market ideas to the people. If I were the DNC, I would put massive billboards all over every city in America that say:
MAGA wants you to SURRENDER YOUR HEALTH CARE, OR
The RICHEST will STARVE the POOREST,
To DEATH.
Don’t be a hostage. Resist.
But they won’t because it wouldn’t be polite to the PedoCons. And we all know how polite they are.
