The Trump administration will undoubtedly appeal, possibly all the way to the Supreme Court. But for now, millions of people across the country will not have to make hard choices about how to feed themselves and their families. Several states that had already declared emergencies to tackle the impending crisis will have at least some temporary relief.

    They need a temporary restraining order in order to do that. Do they have one? I haven’t seen it in any stories yet.

      I don’t think I understand the question. A judge ordered Trump to do something. Trump does not have to do any of that, because he appealed. I’m not sure entirely how this process works… But I can guarantee you zero money will be spent on snap until the Supreme Court makes its decision. If the Supreme Court makes the decision that Trump has to support snap, Trump will still not support snap. No one is going to reach into the pocket of the government and pull out the money. It is just not going to happen. Every single thing that you see is just a puppet show.

        Not arguing your conclusion, but to answer the question regarding the question

        Just appealing a ruling doesn’t mean he doesn’t have to follow the ruling. He still has to follow the ruling until a judge, any judge involved in the case, says that he doesn’t have to follow the ruling as either a temporary stay of said ruling or a permanent judgement.

        So if he doesn’t do as ordered (and I agree that he won’t) he is 100% in violation of the law AND the judge’s orders.

        But also he’s immune to prosecution for official acts, so why should Trump give a shit about any of that?

          What does “following the ruling” even look like? Does Trump have to cut a check for it? Is there some bureaucrat who pushes some buttons on a computer? Who will make either of those things happen? The courts have no enforcement arm. Congress has no enforcement arm. We’re relying on American humans to follow the rules and I have given up hope on that happening.

        The judge ordered the administration to report back by Sunday or Monday night with plans on how it would happen.

        Actually two different judges in different states ruled this same way with the same requirement.

          But… you know he has no intention of doing what a judge says, and there is nothing anyone can do—besides end trump’s life violently—to stop him.

            You keep saying that but I don’t see you doing anything. Stop trying to convince people to do something you don’t want to do yourself

              Why? Why should I stop doing anything? Sure, I don’t have the skills to accomplish that job – But there are many people who do and just need that extra push. I do my fair share of things within my competence, but confessing those things on the Internet is a dumb idea.

              What it comes down to is you don’t want him to be dead. You enjoy what’s going on. You want it to continue. You’re a fed simp.

                I don’t want to see you get someone stupid out in jail. Anyone who has the skills is not going to be listening to you. I have the skills and I think you’re stupid for saying that. I’m not going to do it because he’s not exactly thriving in life as it is. I’m pretty sure we can just wait it out.

                  You don’t have the skills. You’re a fucking joke. American hero Tommy Crooks is a better shot than you will ever be.

                  He is going to live until his 90s. Which is More than a decade. The amount of permanent damage he can do in that time has clearly not caught up to you yet.

                  I think you just don’t care what’s happening. I think you think it’s a good thing. You probably feel the right kind of people are suffering.

                    I think you make a lot of assumptions. I used evidence to make that conclusion. You are shouting nonsense over nothing.

                    The only thing you know about me is that I think you are you are being very foolish for trying to convince people here on lemmy to attack a political figure.

                    Again, anyone you convince would not be the person to actually do it. They’d just get themselves arrested.

                    Regardless of anyone politics what you are doing is foolish and only gets people hurt.

                    So stop.

            Then Democrats need to be on top of the messaging and make sure that everyone knows who is directly responsible for their hunger.

            So I’m not super optimistic…

              Are you sure Newsome won’t throw a couple snarky tweets out there? That’s about all they have to offer at this point 😐
