Supreme Court puts SNAP on hold

[Rawley]

Trump is a sociopath, it was what guides almost every decision he makes. His supporters, especially the older, dumber, more alienated MAGA's, are even worse. This forum has numerous examples of this daily.

The Confederacy went underground and laid dormant for 150 years.

Brilliant commentary on the Supreme Court putting the brakes on the District Court Order. Just brilliant.

The GOP and Trump enjoy seeing hungry people, whether here or abroad. The "Conservative Court" just making sure no one that is in poverty, for whatever reason, has a Happy Thanksgiving. Oh well, Nov2026 will be here soon enough, and the memories will still be fresh.

Seems the Dems enjoy using their “leverage” to keep people hungry. All they have to do is vote to open the government.

Dumb ****, just an awful lot of those people are working at minimum wage jobs, and simply cannot put a roof over their heads and afford food. Thanks to the GOP blocking a livable minimum wage. But since you are a Trumpanzee, you love to see people suffer so you can look down on them.

Then tell the last few democrats to vote to open the government. All Republicans and a few Democrats are already doing this, so just need a few more from the left to join in so these people don't have to suffer any longer.

OR has a minimum wage of near twice the federal minimum or more. How's that inflationary wage serving you? Do you have a lack of homelessness? Try again.

Trumps not the one using needy people as “leverage” by cutting off food stamps, that would be Schumer and the democrats including Ketanji

Why are Dems shutting down the govt?

Ah gee--- they do say the mind is the first thing to go. Now I understand why you can't keep your faults, fractures and plates all separate, they are all as broken up as your political theories.

All the SCOTUS has done is the predictable step of admitting that a district court cannot order the full government to continue spending vast sums of money whether it has it or not.

The idiot judge who ruled otherwise probably just did it knowing it wouldn't fly so that idiots like you would get on media ranting about how Trump and the GOP like seeing people go hungry.

If that were true, answer me this, genius: if the democrats don't enjoy seeing people dying and suffering through lack of healthcare, why don't they just have a judge order the government to provide free and endless healthcare for everyone???

 

[toobfreak]

Why are Dems shutting down the govt?

That's the kicker--- nothing is ever really shut down. They are still collecting taxes, defending the border, building jets and fighting wars. All that is shut down are the little and easy services which most benefit the taxpayers.

These shutdowns are purely political, in this case, bereft of any other answers, the democrats have decided to burn the country down to the ground so they can point their fingers at Trump and say it all happened on his watch, so HE must be to blame!

They know their idiot leftist base will support and believe anything.

Supreme Court SNAP Benefits Pause: Confirmed True (Bad news for low-income Americans)

Yes, the US Supreme Court has temporarily paused a lower court ruling that would have required the Trump administration to fully fund SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits for November 2025.

Key Details

• The pause occurred on November 7, 2025
• This comes amid an ongoing federal government shutdown
• The Supreme Court's pause gives the Trump administration more time to argue its case

Background of the Situation

• The SNAP program was fully funded through September 30, 2025 (end of fiscal year 2025)
• No appropriation has been made for the 2026 fiscal year
• On October 24, 2025, the USDA announced suspension of benefits for November
• A federal judge in Rhode Island (Judge John J. McConnell, Jr.) had originally ordered full funding of November benefits

Impact

• Approximately 42 million Americans rely on SNAP benefits
• The Trump administration initially proposed paying only 65% of benefits using a $4.6 billion contingency fund
• The judge rejected this partial funding plan, ordering full payment

Legal Argument

The Trump administration argues that the court order:

• "Makes a mockery of the separation of powers"
• Exceeds judicial authority to appropriate or spend funds
• Should be a congressional decision

Humanitarian Concern

Feeding America has described the situation as"catastrophic", with food banks seeing:

• Sixfold increase in online locator traffic
• Longer lines
• Rapidly depleting food supplies

The Supreme Court's pause means the full funding of SNAP benefits remains uncertain, potentially leaving millions of low-income Americans at risk of reduced food assistance.

What? And lose all the leverage they have by keeping people hungry?

Separation of powers....
It's not snap being put on hold it's the contingency funds.

In any case, apparently the Democrat's new strategy is to keep the government shutdown until the midterms. It seems they believe they're very good results the other day are a direct result of the shutdown.

They are doing their level bet to spark a violent response.

They may succeed this time.

Good thing Trump is already on those problems by deporting illegal aliens. You should be thanking Trump for addressing your concerns. Illegal aliens have been depressing wages while increasing the cost of housing.

The SCOTUS is the wealthy over-educated, heartless, privileged of America and the earth. Humans exist in various universes and many think the world they exist in is reasonable. Should a family starve or a child go hungry and malnourished Robert's and gang don't care. Kinda simple people, that guy with his twelve followers ain't around or pertinent today. And so it goes....

One judge sent that back to the appeals court and put a temp hold and that judge was Jackson and she is not very conservative.

The stay was put in place by Jackson.

Cool narrative, though...

I see that ohpleasequitit laughed at it. I guess she thinks it funny a lib judge put the stay. No other's were involved. Pay attentions to the news woman.
