    You don’t need an ID to buy groceries, but you better have an ID to walk to the grocery store. Otherwise, folks with no ID whatsoever will kidnap you without due process.

      I vaguely remember as a kid my parents being asked to show their ID at the grocery store when paying with a credit card. I think they were checking that the names matched.

        What decade was that? I could see how Donbald’s brain might be frozen in some decade like the 1970s or the 1980s.

        Wait is that where Trump is pulling the grocery ID shit from, I kinda remember that being a thing for cards but I knew it was just for cards. Did his stupidity and/or dementia fuck up that concept so he now thinks you need an ID for the grocer.

          Back then, where you normally would sign on a credit card, many many people would write “see picture id” instead.

          Honestly, if 1 of 50 checkout people asked for a picture id, i would be surprised. No one cared then either.

    “All we want is voter ID, you go to a grocery store, you have to give ID, you go to a gas station, you give ID, but for voting, they want no voter ID. It’s only for one reason, and it’s because they cheat. We would pass that in 15 minutes,” Trump ranted, seeming to slur his words at times. “If you don’t get it, you’ll never pass that. You’ll never talk about mail-in ballots. Mail-in ballots make it automatically corrupt.”

    Donald hasn’t been to a grocery store in 60 years. Give him a break!

      There’s a sign up at his local store:

        If you ever get one from him be sure to fire up the bank app and deposit it before he leaves. Or only take cash, but wash it first because it’s probably covered in blow and underage child DNA.

          Personal checks can still bounce after being deposited.

          I would demand a cashier’s check.

    Pretty sure he said that in season 1 too. I would say these writers need some original content but so far what they’ve done for season 2 has been even worse

    I hate that this idea you should cast your vote after a positive ID is a bad idea just because the country doesn’t issue ID cards for people who don’t have a driver license.

    I hate that I agree with someone like trump - broken watches - about confirmed ID for voters, and that the happiest countries also agree that ID is required to vote.

    It’s weird that somehow carrying a driver license or health card (gov issued with picture) is somehow an insurmountable obstacle.

    But I get the opposition. We’d have to talk about the racism and classism that keeps people from voting otherwise, I guess.
