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.
Yeah, there was a time you would verify the cards weren’t stolen. But that was usually store policies.
It was always a business policy, not a government one like the requirements for buying liquor or cigarettes.
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.
Who knows where he got it from. He’s never bought his own groceries.
Sure but he does consume media, presumably he saw a show where they did a credit card check or some shit.
He said the same thing in Season 1.
He must have seen the response to it then so he forgot.
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.
You think he’s ever bought his own groceries?
No but I know he watches brain rot TV and probably has for decades. Something will make its way into his empty fucken skull.
What decade was that? I could see how Donbald’s brain might be frozen in some decade like the 1970s or the 1980s.
90s to 00s
“Papers pllleeeeeeease give us a reason to shoot you.” 😏
“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!
Doubt he ever step inside one. This motherfucker so fucking privilege it hurts.
He went to a McDonalds once.
“do you know who I am?”. “Uh, no sir”. “Here, look at my ID!”
Yes and that McDonald’s should of had the store immediately closed due to health code violations. That so stupid and fucking gross. I swear I wish I could figure out how anyone could vote for him, or think he is great.
It 100% is just this if he ever did
I mean, if you’re 79 years old and still writing checks they ask for ID…
There’s a sign up at his local store:
Do not accept cheques from this man
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.
Money being covered in blow is extremely common, you’ll be fine.
I’d go so far as to say that if your money isn’t covered in blow, there’s probably a decent chance it’s counterfeit.
I wouldn’t accept one of his checks even with an I.D.
This guy doesn’t learn anything from his past mistakes.
his first response to losing an election is to go interfere with the voting process.
he doesn’t get that the reason he can’t get past the filibuster is because what he wants isn’t popular.
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
Even adding a beard didn’t help this season 2
Thats gold Jerry! Gold!
He said this like 6 years ago, too. So, not necessarily a sign of dementia. Just chronic affluenza.
Yeah the only thing in the past 15 years that you use an ID to purchase at a grocery/gass station is alcohol, which he supposedly doesn’t drink.
Unless maybe he’s addicted to playing the lottery?
He’s never been in a grocery store in his life.
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.
A) I don’t need an ID for gas or groceries; B) Buying gas and groceries aren’t Constitutional Rights.
C) Access to food and transportation are fundamental human rights.
I’d be with you for food, but I would say the fundamental human right to transportation doesn’t extend beyond feet.
I think people should have a right to transportation of some kind, like a bus pass, but being able to drive yourself isn’t a fundamental right. A lot of people are driving that shouldn’t be
“Gas” != transportation. Ride a fucking bike!
Great solution for a small part of the US population. The country is designed around car transport, it’s a dead end forced on us long ago. Few cities have (and can have) adequate mass transit that serves even a fraction of the area. I’m anti-car too, but also realize that it’s how things work for most people. So yes, fuel or transportation infrastructure is a right as long as people have to get around to survive.
Voting isn’t a constitutional right either, we haven’t been able to get them to codify it yet.
Only to buy alcohol. I dont need a state ID to buy fried chicken. I’m black. I get a piece for free.
Kids get a free cookie, I don’t see why not.
Touché.
FOUND THE SOCIALIST
Fried chicken reparations! Get it right.
The only place I go where I have to show ID is the range.
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.
It doesn’t solve any real problem. Voter fraud is almost nonexistent. Requiring ID just adds a step that disenfranchises lots of people.
In the US, it can be difficult for many people to get an approved ID.
In a 2017 “Fact sheet on voter ID laws,” the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) outlined the following claims:
- Millions of Americans Lack ID. 11% of U.S. citizens – or more than 21 million Americans – do not have government-issued photo identification.
- Obtaining ID Costs Money. Even if ID is offered for free, voters must incur numerous costs (such as paying for birth certificates) to apply for a government-issued ID.
- Underlying documents required to obtain ID cost money, a significant expense for lower-income Americans. The combined cost of document fees, travel expenses and waiting time are estimated to range from $75 to $175.
- The travel required is often a major burden on people with disabilities, the elderly, or those in rural areas without access to a car or public transportation. In Texas, some people in rural areas must travel approximately 170 miles to reach the nearest ID office.

If those calling for voter ID laws were sincere they would first ensure that the documents ID and all required documents could be obtained for free at any government office (post office, city hall, public library, public school, etc.), but they would be the first to stop that from ever happening because their real intention is to suppress the vote of the most vulnerable citizens.
I’m kinda in the same boat here. Shouldn’t the push be for making state ID cards free?
Yes. Or just not requiring it, as our laws are built around free movement (you don’t need an ID or to ID yourself just because some official requests it), and voting fraud by individuals is very rare (while voting fraud by organizations that get power with certain elections is common).
Yes, but also they shouldn’t be required to vote because someone could misplace it or lose it when their purse/wallet is stolen or because they haven’t needed it the rest of the year or anything else that might keep them from being able to vote.
From the context it seems that he’s saying they need an ID to buy liquor at the grocery store.
Not a word in that rant had to do with buying alcohol, nor was it even implied.
