[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]USDA has billions in contingency funds.  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&regi_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.

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???

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]You can’t use contingency funds unless the underlying program is running genius.[/b] Democrats voting no ended the SNAP, until Dems vote yes nothing with contingency can be done because SNAP isn’t functioning right now. They could also pass a single bill for SNAP but Democrats refused to do so in September. So Dems have F’ed you. Go call them. [/quote]

It’s so cute you believe that completely false talking point about the contingency fund.
