Or what? Literally OR…FUCKING…WHAT?
The party of starving the poor.
Hi. Its me, Friday. How did this go?
(seriously asking. I haven’t had time to follow-up yet)
Democrats say Republicans could end the shutdown by agreeing to certain health care provisions, including an extension of Affordable Care Act tax credits.
Yes to this.
Keep it shut down and stay on that measage. Dems should not give in on this. RAISE THE SHIELD WALL, HOLD THE FRONT LINE
I donate to a local food bank to help those that need it while we hold the line. Please do the same.
I don’t expect this ruling to have an effect. I went ahead and made a sizeable donation to my local food shelf anyway. I don’t need that money to fund an expensive toy when I can help people stay fed.
I wish I could donate more, and I really hope this is somehow enforced. But DO NOT WAIT for magic money to appear. The people who need SNAP needed it on 11/01.
Arrest pedo Antoinette
I’ve been thinking of starting a new business where we sharpen guillotines. I think demand is going to high in the next few years.
Or what?

Nobody’s saying illegal things shouldn’t be called illegal. They’re saying the law needs to actually be enforced.
OP isn’t saying that either, they’re saying the more he breaks the law the easier it will be to make something actually stick to him finally. Ideally. Eventually.
Not Trump, no. The SC said he can’t be held accountable for anything he does.
No they didn’t. Stop repeating this lie.
Yes, they did. He can’t be held accountable for official acts of office, and guess who gets to make the final determination of what’s an official act?
They do. Which is very different from saying he can’t be held accountable at all.
Anyone who still needs further proof that Trump is a sack of doo-doo is a lost cause
Possibly, but at least someone is trying something
Idk, apparently some former DNC voters had forgotten by the time 2024 rolled around.
Counterpoint. The more we say he’s doing illegal things, and then he gets away with it, the more he is proven to be untouchable.
Dude’s never, ever going to face consequences that don’t involve violence.
Or the judge might say something stern.
Is he gonna SLAM?
I was thinking more of a BOMBSHELL.
And a sign with words on it
More likely he’s gonna JAM
faint and steal the show
You don’t want to know “what.”
-the judge probably
Just do what you’re told, dickhead.
…or it will yell stop again!
When there’s actual enforcement, like seizing the money or using any kind of force, it matters. Until then,
“Old man yells at cloud”.
Alternate headline: Judge tries to save the poor from starvation and save Republicans from themselves.
There should be a “civil war” already.
And he won’t. Hell also claw back on his promise of half now because someone said he had to give it all. Welcome to being ruled by a toddler ya fucks!
Toddlers have more empathy than Trump. A toddler with more food than they could possibly eat would share it with someone who is hungry.
We’re currently in a drive-thru pickup line, and my 4 y.o. is having an absolute shitfit because his older sister…
He has more empathy than Trump.
I think that there’s a good argument that we need a review of programs and to explicitly indicate their status in law regarding funding when there’s no budget ahead of time. Having all this worked out by courts at the last minute under extreme time pressure is a mess. Makes it much harder to plan.
Yes, ideally we’d never have shutdowns, but they do happen, and in the past few years we’ve had an unusually high number. Better to be prepared.
SNAP actually did that. There’s an several billion dollar emergency buffer fund that was established for exactly this situation. Trump and his cronies decided to not use it though.
The judge is trying to make sure the plan that was established is followed instead of Trump getting to just choose who benefits from his whims
So they didn’t do it. The buffer is just more money in the same bucket they just hope they don’t have to use, but they have direct control over neither. Emergency powers should probably transfer to an impartial body of possible recipient analysts so funds cannot be used as political fodder.
He’ll say all the money is gone, because he had to bail out a Russian yacht manufacturer, but it created a lot of jobs, and was very profitable. For Russians.
In most EU countries, if there really is a blowup over the budget (much rarer than the US), the old budget remains in place until a new one is negotiated.
A solution so obvious that the current US system must be intentionally shitty for some reason.
Do you us hasn’t had a real budget since Bill Clinton. Most everything else has been funded through continuing resolutions and temporary funding measures. There has not been a full budget past in decades.
It’s just another political tactic to slip in a bunch of really nasty shit in these continuing resolution bills Hold the opposition hostage until they get what they want.
Honestly these giant omnibus bills full of all kinds of shit that nobody reads and nobody knows what goes in there should be addressed.
Or else… What?
Or else the head of the executive branch of the United States will enforce those orders. Oh wait…
