Vance calls court order to fully fund SNAP 'absurd ruling'

[Diamond_Dog]

Vice President Vance on Thursday pushed back on a federal court ruling that directed the Trump administration to make full Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) payments for November, arguing the court should not be telling the president how to spend money during a government shutdown.

“It’s an absurd ruling because you have a federal judge effectively telling us what we have to do in the middle of a Democrat government shutdown,” Vance said during a roundtable with Central Asian leaders at the White House.

Vance said the White House would look to fund certain government operations amid the strain of the shutdown, but would do so “according to what we think we have to do to comply with the law, of course, but also to actually make the government work for people.”

[Midnight Writer]

4. But we can still send $40 billion to Argentina, right? And spend $35 billion on Ozempic for weight reduction, right?

And we can still honor the hundreds of billions in no-bid contracts Trump handed out to his cronies, right?

And tens of billions to build up ICE, right?

It is just that $5 billion for SNAP that we can't seem to find, even though that money has already been allocated for a situation just like this one.

5. Bloody hell, do your job to serve the American people, or does your sorry ass find that to be absurd, too?

[stollen]

6. JD's brother received...18% of the vote?

If JD ever actually ran a presidental campaign, not even Thiel would want to waste the $ it would take to get him elected. JD may as well keep his mouth shut and preserve a modicum of decency, at least for the holidays.

[Iggo]

10. He doesn't value decency.

[stollen]

24. If he can't read a crowd

he'll never be elected.

8. Says the guy who benefitted from food stamps as a teen.

You sure forgot what it’s like, didn’t you J.D. You consider yourself an important elite now. What a smarmy hypocrite.

[Botany]

9. Yup!

He was able to get food that allowed him and his brother to live from Food Stamps and
Social Security but now he is trying to stop that exact same help to others.

[Rebl2]

11. I just

came here to say, didn’t he benefit from food stamps as a child. How soon the rich forget.

[struggle4progress]

12. The asshole who's eager to invade Denmark and hand Ukraine to Russia

thinks starving our citizens and screwing our farmers is a good idea?

[DFW]

13. So, Vance is calling Trump absurd, since he just approved resuming all SNAP distributions.

Well, alright, I guess I'm in no mood to argue the overall terminology.....

[Irish_Dem]

15. Making the government work for RICH PEOPLE.

[no_hypocrisy]

16. Harvard Law School wasted a slot on JD. (Usha was a better student than he was.)

18. "Shapiro singled out Vice President JD Vance.. "

who called the court's ruling "absurd" on Thursday.

"After claiming all these things his whole life and literally go to court to stop hungry people from eating, that is not only phony, it is shameful," Shapiro said. "You'll excuse me for getting emotional about it, but when I see hungry people in my state who are hungry because of JD Vance's [expletive] politics, that makes me angry. And that's why I went to court."
