Donald Caught "Lying" About Id

[Albion]

but bought husband case of beer for Christmas
so why didn't they ask for my ID, lol

Maybe it's the state you live in. In many states, you would be carded no matter what your age.

That's not true at all.

if it's common, why haven't I experienced it or seen it in the last 8 yrs?

also, I went to grocery store everyday when my child was not in school to buy one or two items and to talk with clerks

so being a frequent shopper, you'd think I'd have seen this strange phenomenon!

You're correct, it doesn't happen. Only an out-of-touch-with-reality moron would think it happens and only similar people would defend such a moron and his moronic statements that it happens.

You and I and the rest of us with brains who live in reality know that it doesn't happen.

In NY now, they card us old folk. The law changed recently - it makes sense on a few levels. If it's non-discretionary then "They looked old enough" can't be used as a plausible excuse for selling to minors, it relieves the checkers of the accusation of age discrimination, it become habitual so it is less likely to be foregone accidentally.

It is common for people to be asked for ID in grocery stores and for a variety of reasons. That has already been explained.

That's not what Trump said.

Stop defending detached-from-reality stupidity on the part of our president. It makes you look bad.

 

[GoldenBoy89]

So, you DO know that IDs are required when checking out in grocery stores. And those are only a couple of the reasons that they are.

You do know cigarettes aren't typically thought of as 'groceries'.

Surely, you know this?

 

[GoldenBoy89]

I really don't get what there is to gain in defending something as silly and minor as this. He's a billionaire.... Of course he doesn't know what it's like to shop in a grocery store!

Why can't you just laugh at the out of touch rich guy trying to explain normal everyday things to normal everyday people? No, instead some choose to go along with him into his fantasy world he creates to suit his overblown ego and his agenda.

They come up with caveats and rationales to explain his inanity that, even he doesn't bother to come up with for himself. He doesn't need to because he knows his supporters will do it for him.

It really borders IMO, on a form of Stockholm syndrome. Sticking up for Trump has become something of an automatic reflex with some on the right. They're like the battered wife who keeps defending her husband's abusive behavior.

I really hope for the sake of the country that more and more on the right start to wake up to this but the way things are going, I have serious doubts that will ever happen.

Yeah, one being you're in the Soviet Union. No wonder Trump is such a fan of the IDea.

Is it a lie when you just pull random and incorrect information out of thin air without caring whether or not you're even remotely accurate? Asking for a friend.

Actually he is 'remotely' accurate. Grocery stores routinely check ID's for liquor sales. ID's in the form of a SNAP PIN are often checked as well. Massachusetts dabbled for time with picture ID's for food stamps (that alone makes Trump right, sorta).

The hysterical uproar is simply to deflect from his main theme which was voter ID.

....or produce it. [looking forward to seeing teenagers pick strawberries]

If American teenagers had to pick strawberries..........no strawberries (unless you grow your own). Anyway that's what immigrant labor is for, so teenagers don't have to pick strawberries.

When you need to add so much context, that means that the initial statement wasn't accurate. And he was trying to justify voter ID by claiming it was a non issue because you needed ID for an everyday activity, buying groceries. The simple fact is that needing ID to buy groceries is an exemption not the norm, which means trying to use it to justify using ID to vote doesn't work.

Sure it was a silly thing to say, but his point was to promote voter ID, although that probably isn't really all that necessary. A tempest in a teapot.

But instead of admitting that it was a bad comparison to make, instead people are adding so many qualifications so that it is technically true.

I have six forms of “Real ID” within easy reach. I am all for people carrying ID, but then as a member of the military and brainwashed, I would support an oppressive police state as long as I am allowed to keep my guns and brutally oppress those who don’t agree with me or the party in control that pays me.


Is that the world we want to live in?

Trump is the world’s most recognizable cartoon character since Homer Simpson. He’s never been carded in his life.

Here's what I'm hearing: "Trump is so stupid that he should be impeached because of sheer ignorance." (Screamed at the top of your (not you of course) lungs.

All the while forgetting that he is a billionaire, and President of the United States, having beaten the "smartest woman in the world", at her own game.

You're hearing what you want to hear - you're hearing something that simply isn't there in what Arcangel said.

Also, I disagree with your assertion that Hillary is the smartest woman in the world.

I am not hearing about impeaching the President simply because he is stupid. I think that most people that would want to impeach the President are aware that stupidity is not an impeachable offence. Otherwise they would have impeached the guy that couldn’t say nuclear or library.

President Trump SAYS he is a billionaire. Not releasing his taxes and banks not loaning him money would also suggest that.
