So they'll just deny the court order and delay action by appealing, then what?

Who’s going to fucking make him?
We are no longer a nation of consequences and without those, the criminals ain’t stopping.
LEGAL CONSEQUENCES aren't the same as a pissed off hungry mob.
Even the big 'ol honkers with the red hats will roll up against lack of mac.
They should require they updates all the notices on the govt websites saying:
"The Trump Administration is now forced to fund SNAP despite their best efforts to blame the Democrats"
Ok, and WHEN this admin doesn't do it, what then?
Then that money gets sent to Argentina
And american farmers, didn't I just see they're working on a bail out? Ya know, the people who mostly voted for this shit show in the first place.
The claim will be that it's the Dems fault, so they'll be derided by the gov't media as society collapses; and much the way an abusive partner blames their victim, it'll be people being shot in the streets in droves, drones with hellfire missiles being ordered to fire on urban centers, and the administration will just have whatever blonde talking head they choose come out and say "this could have all been avoided but the Dems were allowed to exist for too long and this is what happened. See what they made us do?"
That's funny. They will all sit around the table and laugh at "must fund". After the laugh they'll ignore it like they always do and find some other law to break.
Meanwhile everyone else will shake their fist fervently and come up with a neat slogan for a sign.
This might just convince more people that only Trump can save them, and the legislative branch only serves as an obstacle.
Feeding the poor in a very public way is a good way for authoritarians to build good will at very low cost.
Edit: I’m still all for continuing and expanding SNAP to be clear. No one should be hungry.
It should show that they had the funds all along and have to be forced to use them instead of using the threat of starvation as a cynical political lever. The truth is that MAGA Reps dont want the SNAP program funded, no matter what. They dont give a fuck about poor and hungry children, especially if they can try to pin the blame on Dems. They think poverty is a moral failing and the poor are just a tool to be used.

Yeah but that would take intelligence. Plus he wouldn’t want to risk accidentally helping anyone besides himself.
Yup. He's gonna continue saying the democrats is keeping the government shut, while he is feeding them. Pathetic people fall for this idiotic bullshit. Then again; republicans are traitors.
40 million starving Americans might create 1789 France. The asswipe, Just Dumb, survived on government welfare programs to put food on his plate. Hypocritical POS.
doing everything possible to avoid the epstein files of his sordid details. distract the COMPLICIT press from the BBB and the files.
Nothing to see here. They'll cry to their pet Supreme Court justices and this will be overruled.
Traditionally, corrupt governments rely on bread and games to placate the hoi polloi.
To no-ones surprise, he is playing games in defiance of the court orders, and 42 million Americans are now without the food support they need.

Yikes. Hopefully it happens and the narrative will be that they could have made sure there was no lapse the whole time but were forced to help people.
tbh did have starving the American population on my bingo card this year. and the worst thing is the people who celebrate it because of some people not spending the money wisely (i agree that maybe buying junk food is a priority when on food stamps) but that according to them is the whole entire country, and lets be honest, its mostly black people they are targeting the most with their "grievances". That's the funny thing about these racist fucks, they think someone like me was born yesterday and can't see through their veiled racism.
What? He won't be able to starve some kids? That takes all the fun out of it for him.
How? This is a terrible court ruling. The president does not control the funds. That's a constitutionally enumerated power of congress and congress alone. If they have not approved funds there's no money to pay it.
While I want people to have access for food I want to know what basis this court is using to strip congress of it's congressional powers and to bestow that to the executive branch.
Gotta love the downvotes and lack of discussion. The next comment provided info not by the news article that cleared it all up. I even agreeded. Guess discourse is dead
The funds in question are already available for emergency use. The administration argued that the government shutdown didn't count as an emergency. It sounds like the judge considered children, elderly, and disabled people going without food an emergency.
This is awesome news. Unfortunately it's going to be appealed, and could take a couple weeks.
But fuck yeah, foods back on the menu, boys
Don't forget, in December, the new work requirements mean some of us won't be getting any more SNAP benefits anyways!
My state always has those requirements. If you're doing what you need, seeing who you need to see for mental/physical health, you should be fine.
Right now it means they have to start the process of paying, the judges' orders are final. They can ask the appeals court for a stay, but until that's granted, they better start depositing benefits.
"Bottom like, the well has run dry" lmao get fucked you soulless ghouls.
Pros: People will get fed and Republicans are once again caught in their obvious lies and attempts to literally starve the American people
Cons: Voters will learn nothing from this
Will he appeal it? Because if he does, well then that's more bad PR for the GOP. Not that I'm complaining.
Further insulating Americans from the effects of their inaction is not by any means a “win.”
This only strengthens the GOP’s position by reinforcing the idea that government shutdowns don’t matter to everyday citizens- while at the same time ensuring Americans remain comfortable enough that they continue not to fight back.
The government’s shut down. Great. Everyone still gets their benefits, the military keeps getting paid, ICE keeps being funded. To the Americans perpetuating this MAGA garbage, that sounds fine- and now you’ve ensured that the one thing that might wake them up isn’t going to happen.
