Who will win? Trump’s Illegal Push for ZERO Food Stamps: Dems fought for $6B lifeline

[hadit]

Because the cloture rule was changed from 2/3rds to 3/5ths back in the 70's.

And the cloture is needed for...?

 

[Seymour Flops]

At this point I have to think that the Democrats have believed their own press.

They are trying to run out the clock to November 22st, when the Republicans' clean continuing resolution will be expired, without ever having passed.

At that point, the House, will have to come into session to originate a new spending bill. Democrats believe that guarantees that the Epstein files discharge petition will be complete and Republicans will be forced to release the documents.

It won't happen that way for several reasons.But that is what democrats are telling themselves.

They almost always do.
That's why they were shocked Trump won in 2024.

Oh I did that many posts ago. Have a blessed life....well once you recover from the creaming the GOP is going to be getting this evening.

Trump’s crew is fighting in court to gut food stamps to ZERO amid the shutdown for November, ignoring billions in contingency cash owed to 42M Americans. They lie it’s “only for disasters” bullshit, as the law says no such thing. This illegal stunt will flop hard in court.

Judges might force about 60% payouts…covers Nov.

Judges order Trump administration to use emergency reserves for SNAP payments during the shutdown

Two federal judge have ruled that the Trump administration must continue to fund the SNAP food aid program using emergency reserve funds during the government shutdown.

If only Democrats wouldn't have shut the .gov down in the first place. Since the contingency fund will NOT pay for even one month's worth of SNAP, then it is a question of who gets. You make it sound like Trump wants to get rid of SNAP all together.

The CR was 100% (R) with no (D) input.
Proving the (R) won't negotiate, then blame the (D).
Art of the Deal......... **** That.


From what the public record shows, when the Continuing Appropriations and Extensions and Other Matters Act, 2026 (“CR”) was passed by the United States House of Representatives, there was essentially no input from Democrats in shaping the House version.

Its a CR

 

[Billiejeens]

The CR is the same CR the Dems have voted for already

You clueless dembotb

More than a dozen times.

End-stage TDS demands that TRUMP! be responsible for all doubleplus ungood things, because reasons. At last count, he is to blame for:

1. Sunspots.
2. Male pattern baldness.
3. Uneven tire wear.
4. Poor gas mileage.
5. Dogs and cats living together.
6. People wearing white after Labor Day.
7. WWII.
8. Rain.
9. Drought.

"Essentially?" What what kind of weasel wording is that?

Either there was input from democrats or there was not. There was input from Democrats.

There were and are votes from Democrats. It is a clean, continuing resolution with bipartisan support.

 

[Frankeneinstein]

Why does Trump want 0 days worth of food stamps for recipients right now when they’re entitled to 6 billion in November?

The only one who disagrees with him is one judge, white liberals are taking their usual approach to any disagreement and bowing out by appeasing him [as they also agree with him] so he has nothing to lose.

Why can't you post what Schumer actually said, rather than some partisan hack paraphrasing what he 'thinks' Schumer said.

Why not post Schumer's actual words?

Honestly? Because I watched the full video on YouTube this morning and could not find that video later by the time I made the post you question. He did NOT have anything in writing as proclaimed. Basically even though paraphrased, that "partisan hack" did not lie about what Schimer said.

So basically both Parties LIE and both parties blame the other side.

Our typical Do Nothing Congress.
**** 'em all.

Nah. **** your party for closing down the gvt.

And how many judges have agreed with him?

 

[Winco]

Nah. **** your party for closing down the gvt.

Sorry, I'm not part of any Party.
But it makes you feel somewhat important, carry on.

I can easily say this shutdown is the cause of ALL of Congress.
You however, don't have the balls to call out your party.

Bullshit

I'm a ******* giant

For what? Voting 14 times to open the gvt?
