Vice President JD Vance is blatantly attacking the Constitution’s separation of powers after a federal judge ordered the Trump administration to fully fund the Supplemental Assistance Nutrition Program.

Speaking in the White House Thursday, Vance called the ruling “absurd,” because “you have a federal judge effectively telling us what we have to do in the midst of the Democrat government shutdown.”

“What we’d like to do is to have the Democrats open up the government, of course, then we can fund SNAP, and we can also do a lot of other good things for the American people,” Vance said. “But in the midst of a shutdown, we can’t have a federal court telling the president how he has to triage the situation.”

    If the US justice system was remotely functioning, Trump and many of his admin would be rotting in jail right now and we wouldn’t have come this far in the fascist state.

    The courts have pushed half a funding of the SNAP?! What a victory for all the Americans! Hurray! How about shutting that shit down completely and hand the Trump admin its ass like it ought to?

    Imagine celebrating what is going on right now with the SNAP funding as a win?

    So yeah, the judges are chicken shit and they’ve failed the people.
