It has been used to cover SNAP during previous shutdowns. But the Republicans chose to weaponize it instead. A judge ordered them to pay up from the contingency fund. https://www.nytimes.com/live/2025/10/31/us/trump-news?campaign_id=60&emc=edit_na_20251031&instance_id=165552&nl=breaking-news®i_id=72743657&segment_id=209721&user_id=26869c7395f1f5cdbf02703f998a7bbe[/quote] And based on reporting, the administration’s attorneys do not believe that the government can tap into those contingency funds. Trump has been very clear that he will distribute the funds so long as he legally can, and is requesting additional guidance from the courts on how to legally distribute the funds. It’s a breath of fresh air to have a president who actually considers the legality of his actions, unlike Biden who kept trying to forgive student loans for the wealthy elite, and a president who is fighting so hard to get food stamps to those in need despite the democrats’ treasonous actions leading to the prolonged closure of the government. https://www.axios.com/2025/10/31/snap-hearing-massachusetts-state-lawsuit-trump[/quote] You know we have a whole coequal branch of government, composed of presidentially appointed individuals who have the authority to interpret the law and issue binding orders right??? [/quote] Which is why Trump is asking said branch how to distribute the funds legally. We are in a situation where a liberal activist judge ordered Trump to do something his attorneys believe is explicitly illegal, and Trump needs to know how they are supposed to do so. It’s like if you went to court because your neighbor’s fence crosses your property line, and the judge tells you that you can just murder your neighbor.[/quote] Did you not watch the schoolhouse rock video in grade school? Trump's attorneys are not the ones who determine legality, the judiciary is.[/quote] Which is why he is going to the courts and asking for their guidance. Again, Trump is fighting like hell, in a reality where getting that answer will likely require the government to spend millions on consultation going all the way up to the Supreme Court due to the clearly biased and compromised lower courts, to get deserving Americans their food stamps. Meanwhile, the democrats are sitting there and have voted 19 times specifically to starve our wonderful American patriots.[/quote] Why was this not a "battle against the gods" when emergency SNAP-allocated funds were released during previous interruptions in SNAP provision? WHy can't Trump figure this out, when other presidents could? What is he missing?[/quote] [b]Other presidents don't figure it out. [/b]They just go with flow and pass the problem down the line. Some things need to change, because financially, things are becoming mathematically uncertain. He's trying to course correct before we tip over. Having to pay more in interest on the debt than the entire DoD budget should be a clue. In fact, it should have been a clue decades ago. But problems compound (pun intended).[/quote] No, previously these allocated funds were used as intended. They figured out how to do what they were supposed to do. How can Trump figure out how to tear down part of the White House and build a ballroom during a government shutdown, but he can't figure out this?[/quote] The ballroom is privately funded, but kudos to you for arguing the news-du-jour because you can't debate your way out of a paper bag and have no concept of the HISTORY of this country.[/quote] It's a federal building. Who signed off on the permits, if the federal government was shut down? Who officially reviewed and signed off on the plans? DC doesn't have a state government running the permit process. Why was this pushed through during a shutdown, and how?[/quote] Who signed off on just opening the border and flooding the zone? Who signed off on debt forgiveness for student loans? Who signed off on firing the IRS personnel when they were getting to close to Biden & Company's illicit finances and influence peddling? See, many can play this game. The fake outrage isn't taking you anywhere.[/quote] The government is shutdown, and yet permits and plan reviews are going through. I'm just asking why.[/quote] And I'm telling you I don't GAS. You play your games. We play ours. Don't like it, too bad.[/quote] Interesting. Either they are building without permits and plan review, or getting that ballroom is more important than hungry children and disabled American citizens getting health care. Which is it?[/quote] I don't know why you have an OR in there. One never meets the other.[/quote] Sure seems like some federal review board was open for Trump, instead of the federal government being open for the People. [/quote]
