After a judge ruled Thursday that the administration must fully fund the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program by Friday, Pres. Donald J. Felon did what we all expected him to do.
He had his lawyers appeal the ruling, ABC News reported.
That’s right, the president of the United States wants people who need help buying groceries to continue going without. Plus he doesn’t seem to care that many of those people voted for him.

The 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has asked nonprofits and local governments that filed the original lawsuit to respond by noon, and the president’s lawyers asked the court to issue a ruling by 4 p.m. Friday.
And the GOPmagas still can’t figure out why there was such a rout on Tuesday across the nation.
Voters are finally coming to the conclusion that the grifter-in-chief is not working in the nation’s best interests and is only in it for his benefit.

Steve Bannon said that if the GOPmagas lose the midterms and the elections in 2028 “some in this room are going to prison, myself included.”
Like that’s a bad thing?

WTF is wrong with this guy? Seriously, WTF?
Best comment I read on the enterwebs was that this is the way your cat looks at you while you are choking on something.

The adjudicated rapist continues to lie to Americans that prices on everything are going down and the economy is all hunky and dory.
He even cited as proof Walmart’s promotional Thanksgiving meal basket which is under $40 this year, down from 2024’s price of about $55.
Yes, it’s less … but wait.
Donald TACO isn’t giving us the whole picture.
CNN’s Daniel Dale fact checked Walmart’s offering and found there are significantly fewer items this season than last.
“This year’s basket contains 15 products, six fewer than the 21 products in the 2024 basket. If you’re counting each individual item (like each can of green beans) separately, it’s 22 items this year compared to 29 items last year. In addition, items from Walmart’s “Great Value” store brand make up a greater percentage of this year’s basket than last year’s, which included a larger proportion of name brands,” Dale wrote.
As usual, the devil is in the details.
Among the other findings in the CNN article were the fact that there was a pre-made pecan pie in last year’s basket along with ingredients for a pumpkin pie, and there were both russet potatoes and sweet potatoes last year, but only russets this year.
There’s more in Dale’s article here.
Bottom line: You just can’t believe anything that comes from this administration.
