Anything they can do to lower taxes for people with more money than God.
One thing I did not see coming was the judge who put the ruling out. I would have guessed Roberts or basically any one of 6 possible choices other than Brown.

The Government's argument, I shit you not, "Congress has not given explicit permission to do this."
Invade cities with ICE, bomb boats in the body of water formerly know as the Gulf of Mexico, literally start a war with a sovereign nation, tariff the fuck out of everyone... BUT OH NO! Feeding kids, that's Executive overreach.
Man, I'm not religious, but holy fuck I really do hope there is a hell.
Man, I'm not religious, but holy fuck I really do hope there is a hell.
I say this ALL the time. The moment is heard Dick Cheney died, I thought "If there's a Hell, he's having a very unpleasant time right now," and smiled.
Americans should be rioting already. There seems to be no end to the corruption and madness of their sham Supreme Court and fascist government. What will it take?
"I'm okay taking a few hits. They gotta weed out the leeches who just drain the system" <- actual reasoning I've heard.
When half the country is willing to starve to death and armed to the teeth, the other half is not quick to riot and provoke them

Soon. When the safety nets start failing.
However, Trump will likely be removed by his own people in a matter of months, and Republicans will pretend to be victims of an elaborate scheme. It'll probably work too, because anyone who is a supporter of Republicans today is a literal moron, or psychopath.
If the GOP impeaches Trump, we get Vance. That can't be good either, amirite?
It's better than Trump. Vance has the charisma of a wet blanket.
And the backing of Peter Thiel, a billionaire with a surveillance empire just ripe for use in political oppression.
I mean, so does Fascist 47. Directly or indirectly, Thiel is getting what he wants right now. Same with all the other Dark Enlightenment chuds.

He also has a minimal existing cult following to build popularity off of, unlike Trump, who has people like this:

Almost every revolution in history was caused by people that got too hungry while rich people were oblivious.
Give it a bit more time.
This is precisely what the fascists want. They want people rioting so they can take pictures of cities on fire and use it as justification to escalate.
Mass action: yes. But people need to be smart about it.
General strike. Hunger strike.

We are officially in the "Let them eat cake" stage of this MAGA government. Enormous ballrooms, foreign jet bribes, bailouts for foreign dictators, and now they're going to deliberately starve poor people because they think it will make people vote for them.
When we take back this government, this will be the exact reason that there should be at least three seats added to the Supreme Court, and Clarence Thomas should be impeached, prosecuted and imprisoned, along with his treasonous bulldog wife.
They are actively STARVING their own citizens! There will be no punishment too severe for these monsters.

So this is how you know you're the fucking bad guys, if any MAGAs are lurking around here.
They are either starving people for leverage, or starving people out of malice. That's it. Those are your only options.
If you support a government that starves people for leverage, you're a fucking asshole.
If you support a government that starves people out of malice, you're a fucking asshole, and you're a complete failure of a human being.
I'm very, VERY thankful Trump and MAGA are finally collapsing. 3 months from today Trump will not be the president. 3 years from now, most of these people will be dead or in prison.
I admire your optimism, and sincerely hope you’re right.
I’m so tired of this evil clown show.
We have had countless reasons for "Trump is almost through" for about 10 years now. I think it's going to get a lot worse.

How do you envision him ceasing to be the president in 3 months?
Perhaps massive numbers of citizens are going to march to DC and do the needful.

Once all this bullshit is finally over with, we need a constitutional amendment banning the fucking shadow docket this is insane
America! Fuck yeah! This is winning! Fuck the poor!
Oh. And Trump is a pedophile and most likely human trafficker. In addition to his other felonies and rape charges. He also sleeps in meetings and has no idea who he pardons. Clearly he is sundowning. But hey, the GOP is here to protect all your diddlers and white collar criminals. They really care.
Oh GOD!! Quick somebody stop kids from eating so Trump can have more women in martini glasses!!!
Supreme Court issues emergency order...
me: YESSS, FINALLY!!!!
...to block full SNAP food aid payments
me: motherfucking goddamnit.
Could you imagine arguing in FAVOR of denying people food? What has happened to this world?

If every paper in the U.S. and news channel isn't saying "President Donald Trump orders ~1/8 of Americans to go hungry!". They should should face enough backlash that they should be off the air or fear they will be burned down for lying to the public.
If you are able, please donate to your local food bank. Money goes a longer way than food, but any donation is welcome.
Up next, "Donald Trump announces 100% tariff on SNAP"
"Emergency"
More like vetoing the actual emergency order.
HURRY A POOR FAMILY IS ABOUT TO BUY SOME FOOD WE MUST STOP THIS!
This is like fucking pennies, dude. Fuck off with this shit. Go ride your Qatari jet and contract with Raytheon and approve another massive defenses (excuse me, War) budget
OH! NO!. There are americans that might not go hungry. Quick uncle justice thomas summon the supreme court action force to stop this travesty! Everyone should do searche google about if historically starving populaces have ever killed their leaders or judges till its the top search on google.
It's even worse than that. They did it not because it's unconstitutional in any way but because they felt that it was dangerous to cause more debt by using these funds which were specifically set aside for this exact purpose.
They're not even pretending anymore.

Next level evilness.
The cruelty is the point!
It’s going to be wild to see 1890’s bombings in the 2020’s. Remember what happened when anarchists used to bomb government officials? I expect the same to happen when parents start losing their children. To starvation.
I’m just making an assessment. Not calling for it or saying it should happen.

I know the news keeps saying they were going hard against the tariffs. I have zero doubt they will do anything but capitulate tonight him again; it’s why they are there.
Lol. So america, ready to vote like your life depends on it yet? Because it kinda looks like it does, or will soon...
Ketanji Brown Jackson Issued the order. When we hold the criminals in SCOTUS to account for their crimes, she must not be pardoned for this. She chose to starve Americans in violation of law and deference to a criminal fascist regime.
She is on the Menu. We won’t forget.
IMPORTANT EDIT @Hagenman@lemmy.world pointed out that there appears to be some maddening legal strategy at play to prevent the rest of the corrupt, illegitimate court from making the situation worse. https://www.stevevladeck.com/p/190-snap-wtf

I was baffled reading elsewhere today that Justice Jackson did it, due to her jurisdiction or something. That's a Biden appointee. I'm sure there's some procedural bullshit, but still... I am lost.
Edit: yup, it's in OP's article too.
Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson issued an order late Friday pausing the requirement
Biden-appointed Supreme Court Justice is the one who took the action. I seriously would love more info from her.
