Trump now says he will NOT abide by a federal judge's order to disburse SNAP benefits — despite the admin saying just yesterday it would partially fund November benefits.

People keep wishing Dick Cheney is in Hell, but I think he'd be right at home there. I hope he goes to Heaven, and spends eternity pissed off about all the people he has to share it with. Not his kind of folks at all.
