Trump writes law letting puerto ricans use food stamps for prepared food.

[ShootSpeeders]

This is like obama. The president writing laws when the constitution says only congress can do that.

Trump officials allow Puerto Ricans to use food stamps for hot food

oct 3 2017 The Trump administration has granted a waiver so that Puerto Ricans can use food stamp benefits to purchase prepared food in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria.

In a letter dated Sept. 30 and obtained by The Hill, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) said recipients of the island’s Nutritional Assistance Program (NAP) would be able to use their benefits to purchase hot food at any store through November.

Food stamp recipients are usually prohibited from buying hot foods and other items that can be eaten “in store,” such as sandwiches, soup or pizza.

If he had wrote something to take shit away from people or to throw out brown people you'd be celebrating. You're just mad people are being helped.

^^^clearly a MSLSD watcher...and a dupe...hopefully not a cold blooded killer too.

Makes sense to me. They have no way of cooking so it is probably a temporary measure to help them.

Saw a sign on my grocery store's entrance door that they are also accepting food stamps for prepared foods for the next 30 days, so it apparently applies across the country as well, not just PR, probably.

A wavier is not law, it is the setting aside of a law on a temporary basis. It is the humane thing to do for a time. Beats letting victims starve to death.

You conservatives bitched endlessly every time that Obama signed an EO to get something done.

Now? You praise Trump everytime he signs an EO.

Which is it conservatives, do you hate EO's or not? You've been bitching that EO's are a "dictator's" way of getting around Congress, so since Trump has done so many of them, does that make Trump a dictator as well?

Hey, Trump finally did something right.

No i wouldn't. This is a big issue with me. The constitution says "all legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a congress of the united states." That means presidents, courts, and bureaucrats cannot write laws and yet they do it all the time.

it's a phenomena that has been happening since January.

Yeah, his SoS sure agrees with you.

Of course it's a law you fool. Trump should have gone to congress and asked them to change the law. He can't grant waivers to the law. This is just like obama and his amnesties. THINK

The amount of retarded fake news and insipid whining and lying is measure of how right he is and the great job he's doing, actually.

Actually he can, under emergency powers rules, and these weather disasters most certainly count as emergencies.

 

[LoneLaugher]

The OP is retarded.

And, Trump did another head fake on you nuts. He denied the request at first and nutbags cheered. He reversed his decision to do the humane thing (and mirror what he did with Harvey) and nutbags still cheer.

Never fails.

The USDA has been allowing this for disaster victims in Texas as well. Makes sense. These people are without power for cooking and refrigeration.

Fake news.

Pipe down, stupid, and let the pros handle the spin.

So! You want the Puerto Rican's to starve? Why? Because they are brown?
