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.”

People are figuring out how to side step the all powerful king, and using the law to their advantage to outsmart him. Because shockingly, it turns out he's not always as all powerful as he believes he should be, and he's also not very smart.

That's also why he needs his lap dog to lie and make claims about his power. That way he can claim his political enemies are the ones breaking the law by upholding it.

[–] tornavish@lemmy.cafe 1 points 5 months ago (2 children)

They aren’t sidestepping. How are they? Judges told him to pay SNAP. He said “No” they said “well okay, we will have another meeting.”

Name a something that is actually a sidestep, resulting in a win that he hasn’t or won’t be able to ever come back around and say “nope.”

Everything is just another trial or hearing away from leaning in Trump’s favor.

He's literally running to the supreme court for an emergency stay over this shit https://abcnews.go.com/US/trump-administration-asks-appeals-court-immediately-halt-ruling/story?id=127294307

By the time they even hear this and make a decision the benefits will already be distributed lmao. Several states have already released full payments for the month! This is so sad and pathetic, but so on point for the wittle king 👑😢

SAD!

[–] tornavish@lemmy.cafe 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

By the end of next week SNAP will be blocked again. It’s not a win.

Is that self reflection? If I’m right will you apologize?

[–] AcidiclyBasicGlitch@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

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?

[–] tornavish@lemmy.cafe 0 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] tornavish@lemmy.cafe 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] AcidiclyBasicGlitch@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

"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...?"

[–] tornavish@lemmy.cafe 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

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.

Fuck off you collaborating twat rag

Collaborating with whom?

While I enjoy being right, I don’t enjoy being right about this particular topic. However, you are just dead wrong.

[–] AcidiclyBasicGlitch@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

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 by a democratic supreme court justice. That stay is set to expire after the lower appeals court makes a final decision regarding the second order given by judge McConnell, that USDA provide full SNAP funding vs only providing the partial funding the administration already agreed to pay after McConnell's 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 the final decision on McConnell's ruling, declined to grant the administration a stay when they first appealed. The Trump administration then cited the lower court's refusal to grant a stay, to their running list of examples they claim are targeted acts of unfair "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 attacks against the administration, 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.”

The DOJ is saying they are at war, and 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.

If you want to wrap quotes around something that I said, make sure it’s something that I said not something that you are paraphrasing

[–] AcidiclyBasicGlitch@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Your argument was literally that JD Vance was correct in saying judges don't have authority over Trump. You then said you believed Vance was correct because judges haven't done chicken shit to stop Trump.

Then you continued to argue the courts won't ever be able to stop the all powerful king, despite those no king protests that haven't done anything. Again, you seem to know exactly what you're doing, and who you're actually helping by doing it. I'm done. Bye.

[–] tornavish@lemmy.cafe 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I don’t use the phrase “chicken shit”

[–] AcidiclyBasicGlitch@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

My bad, I had you confused with somebody else who was also attacking the judges Trump has declared war with because they've done nothing to stop him from carrying out his agenda.

[–] tornavish@lemmy.cafe 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

That’s ok, I can see how you’d be confused since it’s the majority opinion.

[–] AcidiclyBasicGlitch@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I'm pretty sure fascist collaborators aren't the majority. If they were, there would be no need for you to spread disinformation.

[–] tornavish@lemmy.cafe 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Wow you’re dumb. lol. I actually don’t think you comprehend most of what’s going on… in your life. I think you are having an entirely different conversation than I am because you have mixed up so many people that you don’t even know who you’re talking to anymore.

To actually think that a person criticizing the fascists are in actuality a fascist themselves, spreading disinformation for the lefties? That is just… medication level crazy.

Take your pills psychopath

I literally just responded with an article from a memo the USDA released today that says they will be paying benefits in full despite the king's demands that they ignore judges orders
