Democrats forced Trump to pay SNAP Benefits and are standing strong to STOP Obamacare Premiums from MORE THAN DOUBLING

18. I think the orders on SNAP are unique. Circumstances aren't like the typical "wait to see what happens on appeal."

They said "We'd like to pay snap benefits, but it wouldn't be legal." It's the Democrats fault that we are not paying.

Now they've been given the go ahead to pay.

So, either they appeal and expose the magnitude of the lie: "We'd like to pay, but our hands are tied," or they pay, and take a "mea culpa" on the lie that it wouldn't be legal.

I don't think there is another lawsuit in which they are being sued to do a thing they claim they want to do but can't. Their position on the other illegal and unconstitutional things they are being sued for is: "We must do X because Y, and we have the power to do X."

I think their hand has been forced. And they should have realized it would play out this way. They knew they had both the legal authority and legal obligation to pay. Did they really think the Democrats would just cave in the face of such a blatantly immoral and unlawful act?

Perhaps they are cruel and stupid enough to appeal, and thereby prove how hellbent they are to starve people, but I think they realize they seriously fucked up and have been exposed. Their best bet is to quickly pay and then bomb Venezuela to grab headlines before their lies and cruelty -- unnecessarily terrorizing SNAP recipients, and then falsely attempting to blame democrats for the harm -- sink in with the public.
