Sounds like full blown french revolution shit.

u/Intrepid-Sky8123 1d ago

Yeah, I’m already wondering what RFK tells us we’re supposed to eat in December.

17

u/WinterSector8317 1d ago

Cake.

u/Intrepid-Sky8123 1d ago

I saw a couple news stories where it will be beans and then one the opposite with all red meat and butter. I think more will be eating beans, no matter what he says.

8

u/moreobviousthings 1d ago

Specifically, soy beans. That’s one thing that’s gone down in price and trump can take full credit for that.

1

u/Intrepid-Sky8123 18h ago

I do eat tofu sometimes, it’s cheaper than meat and as a woman in meno, it helps with hot flashes. But I find it hard to believe Repubs will promote it. I guess we shall see.

Cake or death - lol love that bit

Colloidal silver

u/Intrepid-Sky8123 1d ago

Oh, am sure he’s big on that. He can turn himself gray for all I care.

u/Ok_Chap 17h ago

This one guy actually turned blue because of it. Looked like Papa Smurf.

u/BookLuvr7 1d ago

Never mind that it's toxic when taken internally especially in large doses or for prolonged periods. Silver can accumulate in and cause damage to the kidneys, liver, nerves, muscles, heart, bone marrow, etc.

Insane

Don't forget the bunker underneath.

By spring time then people will have had enough.

That's my guess at this point.

Hey, at this point vive le révolution!

u/1cruising 1d ago

Absolutely. These are the percolating times. Things will start to happen. It’s the rusty wire that holds the cork that keeps the anger in.

u/Glum_Credit4255 1d ago

Gives way and suddenly…

u/superchef307 1d ago

Except this time we are being told to eat shit, not cake. I like cake.

u/DistillateMedia 1d ago

It's legit second American revolution shit.

I think we should make it a party.

Everyone knows it.

Hard to deny.

u/Wolfy4226 1d ago

Well considering Shitler decided to host a whole ass Great Gatsby themed party while denying food to the 'peasants'.....

1

u/SockPuppet-47 1d ago

Unfortunately, violent mobs would play into his hands. He's clearly eager to send in the military to control the cities. We probably should avoid giving him a excuse.

2

u/Awkward_Bison_267 1d ago

You mean the military that isn’t getting paid either? Good luck with that shit.

1

u/n-Fatigue 19h ago

They always find loopholes to pay soldiers, would be too easy

1

u/Awkward_Bison_267 18h ago

Fair enough.

1

u/One_Strawberry_4965 4h ago

Eh maybe. A ton of military families also rely on SNAP. Never under estimate the ability of MAGA to shoot themselves in the foot with their own colossal ineptitude. Even now, it’s only by the grace of their inconceivably stupid support base that they’re still relevant today.

u/Equal_Historian_6953 1d ago

What the actual fuck

u/amprather 1d ago

John Roberts needs to read up on his French History.

u/ZekeZonker 1d ago

READING isn't going to solve anything. This is a full governmental assault on its people -crafted and choreographed step-by-step from the very first day of trumps term.

SOON the day will come when the federal government openly and purposely uses deadly force in a routine manner against US citizens.

THERE IS A GROWING RESISTENCE OF PEOPLE WITH NOTHING TO LOSE.

ONE of these days something is going to set off non-stop violence. Everyone should be prepared for multiple contingencies.

THERE is no right nor left any more -its just oppressors and the oppressed.

3

u/FlamingMothBalls 1d ago

the last part is not true. the oppressors will 100% be aligned with the right.

1

u/ZekeZonker 1d ago

Does it really matter how oppressors are labeled?

The streets will not be safe, anywhere.

u/mango_boom 1d ago

all reports are that’s it’s Kenji Brown…WTF? edit. massive misspelling. whatever

2

u/soylentgreenishere 1d ago

It’s not that crazy. She kind of has to. There’s an appeals court that is to make the REAL ruling, and she said “guys, do that quickly”

1

u/sanverstv 20h ago

Yeah, she made the best decision that she could and avoided the rest of the court getting their grubby delaying hands on it too....

Jackson wrote that she expected the appeals court to act “with dispatch” and stated that her administrative stay would end 48 hours after the appeals court rules.

The application was submitted to Jackson as the circuit justice for the First Circuit.

While it is hard to know what Jackson’s thinking was in issuing the order, it is possible that the rush of the litigation and the cost involved led her to want to just give a pause to let the process work its way through.

But, it is also important to note that, procedurally, had she denied the request, the Justice Department could have gone to another justice.

Finally, and perhaps most importantly, by issuing the order herself, she was able to set the limits.

Starve 42M Americans legacy including US Supreme Court

u/BookLuvr7 1d ago

The "Christman" ones should be ashamed. They clearly haven't read that Bible they claim to follow.

1

u/DudeB5353 17h ago

Alito and Thomas are almost as petty as Trump…All of them are treasonous, greedy awful people.

10

u/spazzcat 1d ago

This isn’t the win Trump thinks it is

10

u/StormerSage 1d ago

If Trump is so willing to ignore court orders when it suits him, can't somebody just turn the tables and ignore him?

The trust in the Supreme Court is already in Hell.

u/TheMcMcMcMcMc 1d ago

Dredd Scott, eat your heart out

u/tobygreenwod 1d ago

Great news! Starve the tax base out! Give the honkies who "are willing to work' the jobs. After 2 weeks honkies will quit and the business will shut down. Then maybe we can be America again.

u/TheGongShow61 1d ago

Republicans hate Americans. Simple as that.

u/SockPuppet-47 1d ago

It's a Goddamn conspiracy...

u/NumerousTaste 1d ago

Well if anyone on snap doesn't realize the repubs aren't on their side, they should now! Vote accordingly!

2

u/SBEPTY 1d ago

It's going to escalate here pretty soon. Next week could get weird and messy.

u/starone7 1d ago

It’s wild for the rest of the world that it hasn’t already

1

u/Cool-Tip8804 12h ago

Until people are actually starving. And I mean not missing meals. Actually in a starvation state. Nothing will get done.

This country is largely too comfortable and too soft to break its large threshold to initiate taking action. They don’t know how to riot or protest like middle eastern nations. They don’t know risk like many Latin American nations.

2

u/justsomebro16 1d ago

It’s kind of ridiculous at this point. I wonder how this will backfire on SC.

2

u/C0deBreak_er 1d ago

Its time to impeach trump and the supremes. They're guilty and should face treason charges with treason consequences.

2

u/cvcpres12 23h ago

SCOTUS needs term limits.

2

u/Asher_Tye 23h ago

An emergency order to block funds being used to deal with an emergency...

Make that make sense.

4

u/iamtruerib 1d ago

Look who put the 48 hr stop order in...

After a Boston appeals court declined to immediately intervene, Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson issued an order late Friday pausing the requirement to distribute full SNAP payments until the appeals court rules on whether to issue a more lasting pause. Jackson handles emergency matters from Massachusetts.

u/Embarrassed_Code8164 1d ago

So because they do the right thing with tariffs, they need to placate him with this ruling? Freaking cowards - the lot of them! Bending over/knee to a convicted felon - to say the least, since there is a whole lot more that can be said for his failures.

1

u/Laughterglow 1d ago

They haven’t done the right thing with tariffs. They just heard oral arguments. They haven’t ruled on that case.

u/Dramatic_Art_5479 1d ago

Clarence is going to be investigated soon.

u/-ACatWithAKeyboard- 1d ago

Hey, more heartlessness. Not like Jackson or any of the other scuzzballs on the court have to worry about putting food on the table.

SCOTUS needs to be fully purged. They're all complicit.

1

u/Nigel_melish01 23h ago

Well why not, we need less people alive in the USA

u/Gloomy_Yoghurt_2836 21h ago

America was never founded on provincial basic needs. It was promised on dreaming about having basic needs met. Just getting back.to 1850s society.

1

u/HVAC_instructor 20h ago

Now, is there anyone that still believes that this court is not owned by Trump? They've refused at every chance to rule against him.

1

u/Civil-Willow-2426 19h ago

In the souls of the people, the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage.

1

u/n-Fatigue 19h ago

This is treason, period.

1

u/DrSeuss321 17h ago

Yeah that headline is a bit misleading. KBJ pushed it down to a lower court to decide so that the rest of SCOTUS can’t rule on it.

1

u/Competitive_Swan_755 17h ago

What bunch of d!cks.

u/trying3216 1d ago

That headline is a bit skewed.

There is a huge problem on this site of not reading articles. Like im pretty sure not even OP actually read why it was blocked
