The lawless administration of Pres. Donald J. Felon has made another move to ignore the judiciary.
Despite being ordered to makes payments to people who receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program funds, or SNAP, the administration said it will only make partial payments to the approximately 42 million Americans who receive food stamps, the New York Times reported.
The plan to ignore what a judge has ordered was revealed in a court filing Monday.

In what can be best described as a “let them eat cake” strategy, the grifter-in-chief, only hours before the Nov. 1 deadline to send out SNAP benefits, sent photos Friday of his refurbished White House bathroom, complete with expensive marble and fixtures, to social media and then headed down to his Palm Beach country club to host a Great Gatsby-themed costume party, MSNBC said.
And if the administration only pays out about half what United States residents get each month, keep in mind that recipients only receive an average of $187 a month per person, according to NPR.

I’m sure everyone who is clamoring for Pres. Joe Biden to be investigated for not actually signing with his actual hand the pardons he issued before he left office in January — yes, AutopenGate — will be clamoring for the elderly Florida golfer to be investigated for not knowing who Changpeng Zhao is, but pardoning him anyway.
On “60 Minutes” Sunday, Trump said, “I don’t know who he is,” when asked by interviewer Nora O’Donnell about the billionaire founder of a cryptocurrency exchange who pleaded guilty to money laundering and whose company is involved with the Trump family’s crypto venture, the Times reported.
Well, at least he didn’t call Zhao “the coffee boy.”

Speaking of “60 Minutes,” Speaker of the still-not-in-session House Mike Johnson was asked, since he was critical of Biden using the autopen, whether it was concerning that the adjudicated rapist said he didn’t know who Trump-pardoned Changpeng Zhao was.
Johnson gave the answer he seems to have about myriad happenings in America: “I don’t know anything about that.”
He’s either the dumbest human being ever to hold the office of speaker of the House or a Christian who cannot for the love of his god tell the truth.
In any event, I sincerely hope who ever runs against him in the midterms puts together a campaign ad of Johnson saying “I don’t know anything about that” over and over and over.
