That’s not going to happen…

WASHINGTON — A Rhode Island federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to find enough money to restore full funding for SNAP benefits by Friday.

In failing to fully fund the food assistance program that covers 42 million low-income Americans, U.S. District Court Judge John McConnell Jr. said the government “failed to consider the harms individuals who rely on those benefits would suffer.”

“Failed” …was calculated cruelty. Calculated

The ruling Thursday afternoon comes in response to a challenge filed by cities and nonprofits after the administration said it would halt funding for the program on Nov. 1. McConnell and another federal judge in Boston ordered the government to use emergency funds to keep SNAP funding flowing, but Trump administration officials said it was only able to partially cover the payments.

And they say they can’t because of the rules. The rules… So when it benefits them, sure deport citizens to El Salvador, ignore the courts, but now, when it suits them, NOW the rules matter.

And at the same time we’ve got Fox being even more racist than normal about snap benefits… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1XjTR_Tr9s

    If they can’t find the funds, I’ll help them. Let’s see… there’s some easy funds to secure from wasteful military spending, plus the DHS is just a whole treasury of wasted funds on its own, plus there’s a few Trump bribes that, if sold, can help with funding.
