This is the President openly announcing that he will violate court orders - two courts had concluded that the Trump regime withholding SNAP funding was illegal - and that the government had to pay out (at least reduced) SNAP benefits starting this week
Openly announcing he will be flouting court orders the day before SCOTUS hears argument on the lawfulness of the tariffs is ... interesting?

(Thus far, SCOTUS hasn't cared about the government's apparent defiance of lower court orders.)

(2,068 posts)I even posted on a thread that I won't believe him until the money is deposited in my account.
Democrat leaders need to get out today and broadcast that they are not at fault and do it strongly. They need to tell the country that Trump is a liar and needs to be held responsible for this defiant and criminal act he is doing.

Let the tech bros spin their AI Hal world.
The rest of us will be over here actually governing and helping our citizens attain the American dream!

(5,398 posts)It is crazy an entire party is as dumb as our spoiled brat in chief. The purpose of SNAP is to stabilize food prices and to support grocery stores. I know Walmart gets nearly of 1/4. The narrow mindedness of only thinking of the horror of a poor person getting something to spend on food and not a moment of thought of that money being spent at a business.

(666 posts)But what has Krasnov done that IS legal? He is out to prove that HE and HE ALONE is above the law and he has six fascist enablers masquerading as justices on the SCOTUS who are all in on that.

(973 posts)is truly written by him......his staff writes this drivel and gives it to him to put on his posts.
"Most" of these somewhat openly display complete sentences, proper grammar, spelling, punctuation etc which his personal posts don't....

(21,949 posts)But I'll go a step further. I think a lot of his posts are posted directly by staff, not just given to him to post. Especially the longer ones.
I suspect there are certain trusted individuals on his staff who have his login info, and those people are allowed to post stuff, with his approval. That's why the differences in vocabulary, spelling, and punctuation are so glaringly obvious - because someone else wrote and posted every word of those posts.

(27,519 posts)Trumps latest Truth post surprised some Hill Republicans, according to two people with knowledge of the situation. Speaker Mike Johnson specifically said Monday that the president isnt appealing the [court] decision.
Senate Democrats quickly and publicly pushed back Tuesday.
The President who threw a Gatsby-themed party the night before he cut off SNAP benefits is now vowing to break a court order so that he can force millions of children, seniors, and veterans to go hungry, Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) said in a post on X. Its sickening. I wont stand for it.

It's great that you won't stand for it.
What action does that translate to?

It sure would be nice to see him shocked by results he wasnt expecting.

(1,889 posts)Why do people have such difficulty with tense? We have been in a constitutional crisis continuously at least since 2000, yet there are still people out there saying things like "Golly, if this goes much farther, we could one day be looking at the remote possibility of a (gasp) constitutional crisis"
No. We are there already. Anybody who is not treating this like a 5-alarm emergency needs to get the hell out of the way.
