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.”

    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

      Ok then, you do that.

      Keep pushing that all or nothing doomerism propaganda. As long as you don’t get oddly defensive when somebody calls you out for it nobody will suspect a thing.

      Also, since you’re clearly so passionate about this, and understand the “chicken shit” judiciary system so well, I’d love to hear what you think the ruling means for SNAP? Like this the final say right?

      I know it’s kind of inconvenient for your doomerism narrative to acknowledge, but is this really the king getting his way? Because, usually when an all powerful king makes a declaration it’s game over. Is this game over? Please explain to me what the judge granting this stay actually means.
