Lol! The citizens united decision should have shown you that capital>>people.
At the very least to keep the status quo and mitigate irreversible harm. This seems like an order to push forward the agenda of their god king and barrel through with the harm.
And now we have Democrats talking about bills to reopen with a vote in ACA in December. I doubt SNAP will even come back to fill strength if the government opens back up
The cruelty is the point!
Supreme Court issues emergency order...
me: YESSS, FINALLY!!!!
...to block full SNAP food aid payments
me: motherfucking goddamnit.
Could you imagine arguing in FAVOR of denying people food? What has happened to this world?
The argument is that they can't pay because the democrats want to also maintain the evil bad socialist disastrous healthcare system. Instead of paying the insurance companies through Obamacare, we should give people the money directly ~~so healthcare providers can gouge the fuck out of prices even more effectively~~.
Also, remember that communism is evil and that the islamists and marxists are now emboldened by the brown guy being elected in NY. And while we're at it, isn't this whole "waiting for the government to pay for your food" thing socialism anyway? Look where voting Dem got you!
Really, this shutdown is what the dems wanted. They're the bad guys who don't want people to have food!
Now excuse me while I try to wash off the disgusting feeling this dive into their cesspools has left me with. It probably won't work, but I have to try.
Emergency. To stop citizens from getting food.
This is what you voted for republikkkans. I sure as shit hope you enjoy what you've done. Have a glass of water for dinner.
Anything they can do to lower taxes for people with more money than God.
One thing I did not see coming was the judge who put the ruling out. I would have guessed Roberts or basically any one of 6 possible choices other than Brown.

The Government's argument, I shit you not, "Congress has not given explicit permission to do this."
Invade cities with ICE, bomb boats in the body of water formerly know as the Gulf of Mexico, literally start a war with a sovereign nation, tariff the fuck out of everyone... BUT OH NO! Feeding kids, that's Executive overreach.
Man, I'm not religious, but holy fuck I really do hope there is a hell.

It’s going to be wild to see 1890’s bombings in the 2020’s. Remember what happened when anarchists used to bomb government officials? I expect the same to happen when parents start losing their children. To starvation.
I’m just making an assessment. Not calling for it or saying it should happen.
Also, the bombs can fly now.
They fly now!?
OH! NO!. There are americans that might not go hungry. Quick uncle justice thomas summon the supreme court action force to stop this travesty! Everyone should do searche google about if historically starving populaces have ever killed their leaders or judges till its the top search on google.
It's even worse than that. They did it not because it's unconstitutional in any way but because they felt that it was dangerous to cause more debt by using these funds which were specifically set aside for this exact purpose.
They're not even pretending anymore.
Funny how debt becomes a thing to care about only when it serves the purpose of taking literal food out of the literal mouths of the poor.
meanwhile we continue to stuff argentina and israel's mouth full of money.
Americans should be rioting already. There seems to be no end to the corruption and madness of their sham Supreme Court and fascist government. What will it take?
"I'm okay taking a few hits. They gotta weed out the leeches who just drain the system" <- actual reasoning I've heard.
When half the country is willing to starve to death and armed to the teeth, the other half is not quick to riot and provoke them

Soon. When the safety nets start failing.
However, Trump will likely be removed by his own people in a matter of months, and Republicans will pretend to be victims of an elaborate scheme. It'll probably work too, because anyone who is a supporter of Republicans today is a literal moron, or psychopath.

Almost every revolution in history was caused by people that got too hungry while rich people were oblivious.
Give it a bit more time.

We are officially in the "Let them eat cake" stage of this MAGA government. Enormous ballrooms, foreign jet bribes, bailouts for foreign dictators, and now they're going to deliberately starve poor people because they think it will make people vote for them.
When we take back this government, this will be the exact reason that there should be at least three seats added to the Supreme Court, and Clarence Thomas should be impeached, prosecuted and imprisoned, along with his treasonous bulldog wife.
They are actively STARVING their own citizens! There will be no punishment too severe for these monsters.

Oh GOD!! Quick somebody stop kids from eating so Trump can have more women in martini glasses!!!
Weird definition of “emergency.”
Let’s starve the supremes for a month and see what’s an emergency.
America! Fuck yeah! This is winning! Fuck the poor!
Oh. And Trump is a pedophile and most likely human trafficker. In addition to his other felonies and rape charges. He also sleeps in meetings and has no idea who he pardons. Clearly he is sundowning. But hey, the GOP is here to protect all your diddlers and white collar criminals. They really care.
So this is how you know you're the fucking bad guys, if any MAGAs are lurking around here.
They are either starving people for leverage, or starving people out of malice. That's it. Those are your only options.
If you support a government that starves people for leverage, you're a fucking asshole.
If you support a government that starves people out of malice, you're a fucking asshole, and you're a complete failure of a human being.
I'm very, VERY thankful Trump and MAGA are finally collapsing. 3 months from today Trump will not be the president. 3 years from now, most of these people will be dead or in prison.
I admire your optimism, and sincerely hope you’re right.
I’m so tired of this evil clown show.

WWJD? Oh yeah, exactly this, and probably sign a few 155mm shells destined to create more democracy in the Middle East.
First, if have you try an imagine being the type of person that would vote for someone that would hold food as hostage in an effort to extort the government into agreeing to stop paying for healthcare…
And then I’d have you imagine the type of person that would chose to not voting against it.
Got it?
Great! Now you’ll never again have to wonder how we got here.
Next level evilness.
"Emergency"
More like vetoing the actual emergency order.
HURRY A POOR FAMILY IS ABOUT TO BUY SOME FOOD WE MUST STOP THIS!
I was baffled reading elsewhere today that Justice Jackson did it, due to her jurisdiction or something. That's a Biden appointee. I'm sure there's some procedural bullshit, but still... I am lost.
Edit: yup, it's in OP's article too.
Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson issued an order late Friday pausing the requirement
Biden-appointed Supreme Court Justice is the one who took the action. I seriously would love more info from her.
Its almost like the monopoly on power transcends party lines. We need to come together and organize as the people. We are more alike than different.
Took me a bit to dredge this up but it has the reasoning.

Here's an analysis of what might be the reason; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ng1lK_82sQU
Once all this bullshit is finally over with, we need a constitutional amendment banning the fucking shadow docket this is insane
I know the news keeps saying they were going hard against the tariffs. I have zero doubt they will do anything but capitulate tonight him again; it’s why they are there.
If every paper in the U.S. and news channel isn't saying "President Donald Trump orders ~1/8 of Americans to go hungry!". They should should face enough backlash that they should be off the air or fear they will be burned down for lying to the public.
This is like fucking pennies, dude. Fuck off with this shit. Go ride your Qatari jet and contract with Raytheon and approve another massive defenses (excuse me, War) budget
If you are able, please donate to your local food bank. Money goes a longer way than food, but any donation is welcome.
