Vice President JD Vance is blatantly attacking the Constitution’s separation of powers after a federal judge ordered the Trump administration to fully fund the Supplemental Assistance Nutrition Program.

Speaking in the White House Thursday, Vance called the ruling “absurd,” because “you have a federal judge effectively telling us what we have to do in the midst of the Democrat government shutdown.”

“What we’d like to do is to have the Democrats open up the government, of course, then we can fund SNAP, and we can also do a lot of other good things for the American people,” Vance said. “But in the midst of a shutdown, we can’t have a federal court telling the president how he has to triage the situation.”

    I’m sorry your pathetic daddy sucks at his job, and has to rely on passive aggressive delay tactics to kick the can a little further down the road?

      You think because I don’t believe the SNAP benefits will continue to function after next week that I am in favor of that action, or somehow love Trump?

      I understand that your life sucks, and the only thing that gives you joy is the small moments when you feel there’s hope for this country. The moments like this past week, with a good local election turnout and some small progress with snap. So when I take that feeling away from you and remind you that despite those things, we are still hurdling towards fascism, you decide to lash out.

      Well, now that we all know who you are… Someone who doesn’t like to be told About reality… I will tag you as such and be sure to tickle that Achilles heel whenever I get a chance.

      Have the day you showed up and cast a vote for!

      Edit: oh look, right again

        Ok then, you do that.

        Keep pushing that all or nothing doomerism propaganda. As long as you don’t get oddly defensive when somebody calls you out for it nobody will suspect a thing.

        Also, since you’re clearly so passionate about this, and understand the “chicken shit” judiciary system so well, I’d love to hear what you think the ruling means for SNAP? Like this the final say right?

        I know it’s kind of inconvenient for your doomerism narrative to acknowledge, but is this really the king getting his way? Because, usually when an all powerful king makes a declaration it’s game over. Is this game over? Please explain to me what the judge granting this stay actually means.

          Let’s coin a new word here: Doomnialism, like denialism, but specifically denying bad things are happening. Despite all the evidence saying the contrary, you refuse to believe something because it will give you bad feelings.

            “Judges don’t do chicken shit. Except all that shit they have done, but I’ve already moved the goal post, so who cares about all that? Not me, but I’m totally not trying to spread propaganda. You’re spreading it with all your facts that contradict my false narrative. Which I’m only spreading because…?”

              I don’t know what that drivel is supposed to mean, but I’m sure it is just that.

              You do not have the ability to see the bigger picture because you are too busy celebrating a small ineffective victory. You refuse to acknowledge that it is not a victory, and will be shot down days from its decision. You lack foresight because you are afraid.

              Focus your energy on the problem and not the people reminding you that there is still a problem.

                    Again, your original argument is that the courts don’t do chicken shit to stop the administration.

                    Your entire argument here rests on Trump being granted a temporary emergency stay granted by a democratic supreme court justice. That stay is set to expire after the lower court makes a final decision regarding the second order by judge McConnell that USDA provide full SNAP funding vs the partial funding the administration already agreed to pay after his first order was handed down the week before.

                    Why did the Trump administration seek an emergency stay from the supreme court in a district where they knew the case would be decided by a Biden appointee? Because the circuit court making that final decision on McConnell’s ruling declined to grant the administration a stay when they first appealed. The Trump administration then added the refusal to grant a stay by the lower courts to the list of examples they claim are targeted acts of “judiciary activism” by democratically appointed judges. In other words, they are claiming any orders handed down by judges that hinder the administration’s agenda are politically motivated. While actually carrying out politically motivated bullshit like using SNAP funds as a bargaining chip.

                    US Supreme Court lets Trump withhold $4 billion in food aid funding for now

                    Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, who issued the stay, set it to expire two days after the Boston-based 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rules on the administration’s request to halt a judge’s order that the U.S. Department of Agriculture promptly pay the full amount of this month’s SNAP benefits, which cost $8.5 billion to $9 billion per month.

                    Jackson, the liberal justice assigned to review emergency appeals from a group of states that include Rhode Island, said the 1st Circuit was expected to rule on the administration’s request to block McConnell’s order “with dispatch.” U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi noted the Supreme Court’s decision in a post on X, which paused a court ruling she deemed “judicial activism at its worst.”

                    Pretty sure you’re well aware of this already, but when you argue that judges “don’t do chicken shit,”/might as well not even exist, guess who you’re actually helping by spreading disinformation and propaganda?

                    DOJ’s No. 2 Official Asks Lawyers to Join ‘War’ Against Judges

                    “It’s a war, man,” Blanche, the deputy attorney general, told judges and lawyers Friday at a Federalist Society event in Washington, before describing instances where the government has ping-ponged between lower and appellate courts. “It’s happening over and over and over again.”

                    There’s a war targeting the judges you claim with such certainty don’t actually do “chicken shit.” If you’re looking for work you’d make a very useful tool for the DOJ’s propaganda machine. For some reason they need to eliminate those “useless” Federal judges and their meddling “judicial activism” that doesn’t actually do anything.
