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.”

    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 👑😢

              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

      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
