What a stupid, flatfooted reply.

The ID requirement to prove citizenship is merely another way to limit voting. Republicans know they cannot win in a fair electoral situation because their ideas are repugnant, toxic to the voting majority and that despite all the happy talk Trump's 2nd Administration is disastrous.

The propaganda is losing its magic.

and when the staff don't bow down to him, he explodes "don't you know who I am???". So they reply "no ...", and he gets out ID to prove it.

That people should NOT watch the DocuMovie, “2073”, HBO,. It outlines the hell we are sprinting towards and exactly where each step to get there, began. And who is responsible.
It Stars Bezos, Musk, Zuck, Theil and all the greatest 🍆🥔 and their elk.
It is way too horrifying to see the Greatness we are intent on getting too. All laid out in P2025 and fulfilled as the movie clearly depicts.
Again the Movie documentary “2073”.
More terrifying than Exorcist in HD, in 3D on acid to a 10 year old paranoid child, sitting next to Satan joined by Maxwell and Epstein, all three naked.

It is terrorizing and sickening. But needs to be on every TV ASAP.
Why they need so much Data and incarceration camps, and why Musk sent his boy nerds in to steal all out information is right there in this DOC.
Some of the hell it predicts is already in play in other far right 🍆🥔 country’s right now. And the billionaire boys are all over it with puppet Trump to install it all here. If they succeed to a nearby point in their wet dream, there is no coming back. And that is why all the GQP thieves and liars do not care what polls say, how much they are hated, they know they will never give up power or face any responsibility. Why the arrogant smirks and fuck you attitudes in Hearings. They will be untouchable, the elections will not be without a hell of a fight,
This fight needs much more than
Milk toast, “concerns and disturbed letters”.
We are at War. And we are way behind right now.
Watch right past the credits, something there that will top the terror off.

What this predicts in 2073, is well under way. Thanks for this trailer, I posted about that this needs to be seen, above in this series of posts. And we need to get in the fight. Now. This will wake us the hell up, or this is where we are headed. Fast.

A d you have to be 21 to drink , you have to show ID. But regular restaurants, nope.

Most states already have ID to vote laws. He's not talking about IDs and I wish the media would call this shit out.
