"The order keeps in place at least for a few more days a chaotic situation. People who depend on (SNAP) to feed their families in some states have received their full monthly allocations, while others have received nothing."

Why twist that knife further?

It's simply a matter of time for America to be attacked. You can't blow boats out of the water, or any number of the insulting, cruel or unacceptable tactics Trump's using and believe no one will retaliate. And when this happens... how is our Military readiness under inept Leadership?

No one is really talking about this Pardon abuse. Child-Rapist Trump has let it be known by these Pardons that anyone involved in Criminal activity can receive one if they donate money and swear fealty to him. It's as immoral an act as I've ever seen. It's revolting, Trump is revolting. VOTE people

A federal appeals court agreed with the jury's verdict last year and said Kaplan did not make errors that would warrant a new trial. I believe there is a time limit on when this appeal to SCOTUS had to be submitted! What does everyone think? 🤔
