This is guaranteed to happen. And they will post a "TRUMP SAVED YOUR SNAP BENEFITS" message when you log on to the site.

Mark this down:

On Monday, Trump will announce that he "saved" the SNAP program and people will get their food stamps for November. Republicans will claim that Democrats wanted people to starve but Trump made sure it didn't happen. The media will go along with them.

moreover it *didn't matter* what Biden did w/r/t border b/c Fox News, and the rest of the establishment media too, would regardless ceaselessly report on endless waves of immigrant hordes crossing into the US; that game is rigged and the better call is to simply not play

COUNT I

Kat Abughazaleh did, while law enforcement was in heated pursuit, paint what appeared to be the entrance to a cave on a sheer rock wall, causing law enforcement to forcibly bonk into said wall.

COUNT II

The same thing on a different wall, but then a train came out and ran us over???

I suppose for certain types of person "he'll hurt the people I don't like" very much is a perceived improvement in their material condition (emotional/physiological state can counts as a "material" condition, right?)

the complaint pleads § 1983 against Ohio National Guardsmen; presumably they're not federalized even though they're operating in DC thus properly agents of a state for § 1983 purposes?

such novel legal questions are being inspired by this Administration, and on a daily basis!

I know very well it's never RICO, but (1) can a Hatch Act violation be a RICO predicate, and (2) can the federal gov't itself be the "organization" for RICO purposes

fundamentally every at bat is about whether you generate an out or not, and if you literally never do so, you are the best as possible at your job

also for people expecting her to throw Bovino in jail on the spot this morning or something, if she did that *without an explicit warning in advance it might happen* good luck for any judge in the country getting these people to show up in person again

moreover, the SCOTUS of today being the SCOTUS of today, the odds of them overturning a precedent in a way that *hurts* conservatives are exactly equal to zero

maybe citing them Pacifica Foundation, the George Carlin case, would have slightly more cachet, even if it doesn't directly address the Fairness Doctrine like Red Lion did? /s

I dearly wish people would understand the unique aspects of over-the-air broadcasts that made the Fairness Doctrine permissible under the First Amendment, and how it accordingly would be unconstitutional if applied to anything *other* than over-the-air broadcasts

my grandfather was a lifelong Red Sox fan and died at 87 after the 2003 ALCS without them winning in his lifetime; this is to say I have a tattoo on my left shoulder blade of the Red Sox logo with 2024 beneath it
