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.”

          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
