how in the ever-loving fuck do they expect a lawsuit to do anything? what the fuck is a judge going to do to congress? judges do not have even one iota of ability to COMPEL LEGISLATION, let alone budgets. this is utterly retarded. a child could tell you this has no fucking merit. i hope to god this gets to scotus quickly so we can get clarence thomas' opinion on this nigger-loving legal shart.
 
Engage with my points dont just say "I disagree, source crack pipe" You can engage with my idea without agreeing with them.
Got a slow day, so fuck it, I will!

I ask all of you, how one earth are the houthis still a thing? how come thats not just a grease spot on the red sea if our military is so "invincible"
Sorry, what deployment was done to Yemen to dislodge the houthis? None. A navy is not an army. The navy can bomb land based targets with gunfire, missiles, and aircraft. It can not capture, and occupy land with that alone. You would need a combination of navy, marine or army (or both), and local allies to change the political situation on the ground.

The US navy refuses to go back in there beacuse apprently its a miracle we dident lose a ship
Citation needed.

This is what I mean about calling a spade a spade, I need some of you to have a come to Jesus moment that we got chased away by the Houthis with 3 modern airframes lost and over a billion spend on interceptor missiles without ANY tangible change in the safety of the red sea.
Where we chased away, or did we decide the employment of limited assets on our side of the world was a better use? Blowing up drug smugglers is a better use of the US navy than policing the red sea in my view.
 
There's a simple solution to this: reopen the fucking government.
They won't, because:

I'm forced to wonder how much taxpayer money each of those states and governors are dumping into this lawsuit, including hourly rates for the attorneys etc., that might have been better spent shoring up the food banks in those states. For example.

It really looks like the desperate flailing of a wounded animal. They just want something, anything to slow down the orange man, and they'll lie, cheat, beg, borrow and steal to get it.
 
We were chased away. No amount of cope will change that.
other than retribution for the USS cole bombing, what purpose do we even have in the red sea? doing israel's bidding for anti-missile defenses at taxpayer expense? continuing to bomb some cave-dwellers because of a minor terrorist incident 20 years ago? there is no actual good reason for the US to be there, and any damage to naval equipment sustained there was retarded and unnecessary. it was for the best that we were 'chased away' because the alternative is a full occupation of yemen while we hunt the houthis in their literal shit holes.

1. Those funds are supposed to be used for natural disaster relief like a hurricane.
2. There's only $5 billion dollars, they'd need almost twice that to cover food stamps for a month. So who gets what? Everybody gets paid half of their snap for November and we're fucked if disaster relief is needed?
3. She was a hoo-er.

What exactly did people do before SNAP was a thing?
Beg or starve. You had charity from churches. You might have a public soup kitchen or something like that. Other philanthropic organizations. It definitely wasn't a fun situation, hence the incentive for people to get enterprising. (Although, that often could lead to crime.) People were embarrassed at their situation, they did not feel entitled.

If you mean Food Stamps in general (SNAP is that but it got its current name in 2008 in an effort to "destigmatize" the concept), it was the responsibility of states, local governments and charities to handle public welfare in the way that it currently does.

when you put it that way, this is just money laundering then. Giving money to family and friends. hiring them as lawyers to fight a cause that will do fuck and all.

i know it would require a world-ending war, but it would be so cool to finally get to find out which armies are paper tigers and which ones are actually spending money right. i wonder how many people thought that right before world war 1?

They certainly got the right judge for it in this case. She has already ordered a hearing on the TRO for two days from now. As ever, the process is the punishment.
