That judge was fucking retarded and there was no fucking way that his gay ass ruling would stand.

It basically removed all the power of the budget from both the president and the legislative branch, putting the power of the budget in the hands of judges who could just order money to be doled out without any source to anything the judge wanted.

Judge in CA wants to give 2.2 billion to NAMBLA? Done. Judge in FL wants to give 1.2 billion to building walls around brown people's houses? Done. Judge in Hawaii wants to give 1.2 million to a male prostitute to blow out his asshole? Done.

WHere does the money come from? LOL, who cares!

The fact that some retard judge thought setting that precedent was intelligent just shows everyone how fucking dumb and/or partisan they really are.
 
It begins in Hawaii, the SNAP payments are getting cut off for some. / Archive

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - The U.S. Supreme Court has granted the Trump administration’s emergency appeal to temporarily block a court order to fully fund the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) food aid payments amid the government shutdown.

The stay comes after a federal judge in Rhode Island ordered the Trump administration to find the money to fully fund SNAP benefits for November, and an appeals court left the order in place by the Friday deadline.

Early Friday, the U.S. Department of Agriculture sent a memo informing state agency directors that the Food and Nutrition Service was following the order and putting billions in the pipeline to EBT cards.

Officials in at least a half-dozen states confirmed that some SNAP recipients were issued payments.

In Hawaii, officials uploaded client eligibility data as soon as the judge made his ruling, and a few hours later, money began appearing in beneficiaries’ accounts.

SNAP recipients in Hawaii were surprised to find their usual monthly food allowance on their cards Friday morning.

“I believe we uploaded it at 7 a.m. this morning, and by 9:30 a.m., individuals saw their full SNAP benefit on the card,” Department of Human Services deputy director Joseph Campos told Hawaii News Now.

“We’ve been getting a lot of calls asking, ‘Is this for real?’” Campos added. “Definitely, people have the ability to use the full SNAP dollars that they received today.”

One recipient told Hawaii News Now he received a deposit of over $400.

After the Supreme Court stay, DHS issued the following statement:

“While many households were issued November SNAP benefits earlier today, we do know that at least 2,400 households are directly impacted by the stay and will not be issued the November SNAP benefits they were approved for until the stay is lifted.

“If these households still have prior months balance of SNAP benefits on their EBT card, this balance should not be affected by the stay. Similarly, any cash benefits such as TANF or General Assistance on their card will not be affected.

For the households that were issued the full November SNAP benefits, these households were also approved for the Hawaii Emergency Food Assistance Program (HEFAP) benefit. HEFAP benefits will be accessible on Monday and are not impacted by the stay order.”

DHS will continue to monitor the ongoing situation closely and will share updates on the DHS website.

Additional money promised by the state, $250 per family member, will still be sent to households on Monday.

The state says that $42 million is to ensure SNAP families don’t run out, because there is no guarantee of another federal payout.

The state will also continue plans to release $100 million for housing and utilities support from surplus welfare funds.

The federal food assistance program serves about 1 in 8 Americans, mostly with lower incomes.

In Hawaii, 86,472 households and 169,604 people receive $57 million a month in SNAP benefits, according to DHS.

Hawaii’s Republican Party opposes using state money for these relief programs. In a release, the party said Friday that the governor should instead be pushing Hawaii’s Democratic congressional delegation to end the shutdown, which the GOP blames on Democrats.

“At a time when local families and small businesses are struggling under the nation’s highest cost of living, it’s reckless to divert state dollars to offset Washington’s dysfunction,” said Shirlene Ostrov, Hawaii Republican Party acting chair.

It was already impossible to deny the order was fucked. From the government response:

The judge ordered 100% to be paid out, but the money IS NOT THERE even with the contingency fund. But some states just put in for the 100% money anyway and got it first come first served, So now that money is gone even if the USDA wins out on having the discretion to send partial payments instead. It's a run on the bank, first come first served for the remaining money and why shouldn't this be expanded to every government program with any funding left? If this were to stand, every sane state will have to immediately file to be first served for every remaining dollar.

It's absolute lunatic bullshit. I'll note I predicted exactly this result if it hit the Supreme Court, which it nearly instantly did, and even the most liberal Justice on SCOTUS was like "what the fuck is WRONG with you?"

This isn't a huge boast, because this was obviously, flabbergastingly, absolutely retarded. Any "legal analyst" on the fake news (that I do not pay attention to) who said otherwise should be absolutely ignored on any legal subject in perpetuity.

I bet theres a ton of inbreeding going on unnoticed. People fucking and not realising they have the same dad that ran away

Nogs inbreeding is a well known problem even in rural areas. The slaves that got brought over 300 years ago can have their extended family residing within the same county for the whole time period. Anecdotally, I knew one black man whose mom pulled him aside and started pointed out the girls in town who he was not allowed to date.

You'll need a mathematician to figure out if the urban blacks will end up with noteworthy incest rates. If mates are randomly selected amongst a pool, the frequency with which future generations randomly select related mates might not be too high if there's geographic mobility. Quick, someone figure out the frequency with which nogs move to a new city.

Wouldn't a county-sized population be a large enough pool to prevent significant inbreeding issues? It's not like prehistoric man (or most animals, for that matter) had four billion potential mates and the ability to travel anywhere the planet.

Rural areas of the south aren't that well populated and the population is sparsely distributed. You need to bear in mind the absolute size of counties in places like rural North Carolina or Alabama. The "big" town could be 10,000 people and only a fraction are black and of a similar age range. The more rural areas are closer to 30 people per sq. mile. My example came from a rural farming/logging area about 10 miles from the nearby "big" town. You meet the people who live nearby.

Btw, you'll see similar issues if you go way up north to New England. There are some very old families and suspiciously related families in the rural parts (H.P. Lovecraft wrote extensively on this phenomenon). Ancestors came over before the revolutionary war and haven't moved too far since. America is a very different place once you leave the major cities with rootless cosmopolitans. I wonder how bad it gets on reservations.

It would be. Just a few thousand members make a completely viable population that will not succumb to inbreeding effects, if mates are selected properly. Conversely, even a larger population size won't protect against inbreeding effects if culturally you limit yourself to small isolated pockets of cousins (like sand niggers do).

I'm late to the party so I'm sorry if this has been asked or addressed already, but what are impoverished people genuinely supposed to do to feed themselves and their family besides shoplifting and the food bank? I'm Canadian, so depending on the province there are government programs available to help supplement one's income, I don't think food stamps/SNAP/EBT are a thing here, at least they aren't where I live.

EBT is being paid out up to 65% and even some states are paying out the full amount, California, Oregon, Maine just said they would.

There are options.

work.
 
I wish this could last forever!! I went to Walmart today, got a good parking spot, didn’t have to wait in line at the register, and I didn’t have to deal with any groids standing in the middle of the aisle, not letting anyone pass by. It was so nice, too bad the stores are going to SUCK once they eventually roll out EBT payments again. Maybe we’ll get some good videos of obese sheboons fighting over the last box of honey buns.

Wow, it’s almost like people on EBT shouldn’t be getting their fucking nails, eyebrows and hair done. How much of your business depends on EBT recipients, to the point you have to fire employees?? Retarded minorities and women are once again proving everything right wingers say about The Gibs to be true.
