Nothing will happen until they are made to comply with physical force.
Or basically - using the exact same measures of enforcement that would be applicable to a normal citizen.
WITHHOLDING Food Assistance during the Thanksgiving and Christmas season is Bad BUT this ALSO Effects Trans and Brown Kids so it's NOT a Deal Breaker for me or my Family who are going to Starve and my Newborn will probably die!
-LITERALLY every Republican Voter!
They’re probably just going to spend it on getting their weave anyhow. /s
I'm so confused. I heard that people won't be getting SNAP benefits. Then I heard that two judges ordered Trump to give them their benefits after all. Then I heard that it's only being partially funded (I guess people are expected to eat only 3-4 days a week). Then I heard Trump is refusing to fund it. Then I heard the Whitehouse said it is being funded despite Trump's social media posts saying otherwise.
So are people getting to eat or aren't they?
HE defies ALL court orders, what's different NOW???
Not even a slap on the wrist for truly un-American behavior.
Or the dems can hold on and gain on both, especially with a TACO.
this is rediculous. you guys in congress know that the country cannot remain as a stable and nice place if he is not impeached. you can't just let a president break the law constantly. impeach. impeach. impeach.
What congress? The Republicans won't even let the house meet anymore
Overidding his own administration after they agreed that that they can and will do the thing. Fighting in court to avoid doing the thing. Defying a court order to do the thing. All while blaming the democrats for his not doing of the thing.
Go ahead and make more people hungry, their children hungry. Go ahead and find out what desperation breeds.
I did not see this coming, did you?
/s for the dumb people
He thinks he holds the purse strings. We'll use it to carry his head to the jeu de paume court.
I'm starting to think he illegally misappropriated those funds and now literally can't use them for their intended purpose cuz he's broke.
I think Dems should not pass any legislation while the administration ignores the laws that already exist.
That money has already been promised elsewhere in some deal. Make Trump new enemies by denying his ability to pay up.
Exactly what I said. Trump made the law irrelevant. And the Republicans cheer him for this.
I don’t get it, with the federal judges saying they need to pay, does he has legal power to ignore court orders
