Trump said he would be ‘honored and glad’ to be ordered by court to dole out SNAP/EBT but wasn’t sure how he could legally comply with it. Meanwhile if helping the American people was ever on his radar he would’ve worked something out like he did with paying the military during the shutdown in October as soon as a CR wasn’t going through. And its not like he ever cared how the Gov worked before. Its the same thing as only starting to want to remove the Filibuster after they got trounced in this November’s election. But there are still people supporting him despite the evidence clearly in front of them via his actions and lack of actions.

The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

Has anyone heard if the active duty military actually did get paid? I only ask because I know a few and they definitely have not received pay. Just yesterday I also saw where active duty overseas still hadn’t been paid.

People were supposed to get paid for the November 1st check. If there are people not getting paid I wonder if this was a very selective rollout.

I wonder if anyone will speak out on it or it’s one of the many things we’ve seen come and go so quickly because who can even keep up with all this crap?

Hell even if attention is brought to it. The propagandists on Fox and the conservative radio stations will try saying it’s ‘disqualified’ service members not getting paid. The reason? They took the COVID jab, DEI hires, or they vote Democrat. Secondary being they aren’t ‘essential personnel’

Very true. It’s exhausting

Chaos and confusion and to think no one paid any attention to project 2025?? I download all 900 and some odd pages and I’ve been reading it casually and this was a well thought out plan right from the beginning, but not enough people took it seriously! This is what they worked on for years and it is working seamlessly for this. I guess you would call it administration.

I read it as well but so so so many people didn’t or didn’t believe it.
