He thinks apples are in enclosed coolers.

Or if he has, he has no idea of all the things, done by other people to ensure elections ARE secure, *already happened* before he did so.

Voter registration, and the later signature verification, IS the "Voter Id" portion of the process, in essence. Add the very stiff, felony-level penalties for misrepresenting yourself during the process, and it all means that basically nobody commits "voter fraud" of the type that could even potentially be averted by requiring ID be shown at the polling place. The 'reward', getting to cast your ONE VOTE, out of thousands or millions, is miniscule for the individual, when compared to 5 YEARS in fucking JAIL. And/or deportation, if you're not a US citizen. People just don't do it. Period. It's not "a thing".

This whole push for Voter ID and restricting drop boxes and mail-in voting is based on an article of faith among Republicans, which is that the more difficult, the more costly, the more HASSLE it is for people to vote, the better their party's chances of winning generally are. This is why you'll NEVER hear from the GOP anything about making Election Day a national holiday, for example. They think their voters are more willing to jump through hoops to vote than ours are (and are more likely to have the means to physically show up to the polls on Election Day), and it's pretty much that simple.

Everything else they say is just window-dressing for that fundamental tenet of their mindset.

is if i purchase beer or wine (alcoholic or not); and picking up meds at the pharmacy.

Sucks to be old

I still occassionally get asked for i.d., and I have grandkids, lol. My mom, bless her, often had to show her i.d. to prove she was old enough for senior discounts!

and the waitress automatically gave me the senior discount and the free sundae at the end of the meal. It turned out to be a cheap meal but she could have at least asked for ID.

Maybe it was because the waitress was about the same age as me.

Sigh. At 77, with a full head of white hair, honestly?

or have they never dared to contradict him (surely they realise it would be better if he doesn't hallucinate quite so obviously?)? It's a question of whether he'll soon be removed by the 25th Amendment, or if he'll continue to issue decrees to make everyone's lives worse without any feedback.

Either way, it's no way to run a country.

Which adds to the mystery: does he have dementia, a personality disorder, is he an alcoholic / drug addict, or is it all an act /con?
