Discussion: Trump White House Threatens To Go All In On Voter ID Laws

Ahhhh…and here we go. This is REALLY about mandatory IDs right Seanie??? So it’s not vote fraud you care about but Voter SUPPRESSION. But hey. You guys have all the investigations you want. You pretend you are looking for SOMETHING. Blow money. Be fools. 2018 is coming up quickly.

Clinton won a strict id state.

They can’t do that.

It is not cool at all. In this day of alternative facts, they will make up the evidence if need be. Steve Bannon ,the pudgy Leninist, and his puppet Trump want to lock out those who most likely would not vote for a Trump-like candidate, More so, they want to achieve Putin -like results, 90-95% voting for the Trump/Kushner ticket.

And who knows Maybe those faudulent votes were republican and in the stats that flipped the electoral college .
Fraud is not an exclusive thing to Democrats now is it boys?

When the time comes will I have to pay outright for my “badges” or will there be tax rebates? Grants? What about seamstress fees? I don’t know how to sew.

Will the rebates/grants apply to pre-badged garments from the Ivanka Trump Collection? Will Melania offer a “tremendous new line” of badged clothing and accessories on QVC?

So many questions.

I could honestly see that getting traction in the looniest portions of the House, but I don’t believe there is any way something like this would happen. The republicans will take their marching orders from him and do things but regular order. There’s no downside to that for them until there’s a time that they feel that it’s their jobs that are on the line. Then he goes under the bus just like all of their other ‘principles’ when push comes to shove.

Only if they set fire to the constitution.

Separation of powers and all that. And they don’t want to do that because there will be another Democrat in the White House and they aren’t going to give that Democratic President that power.

I don’t mind voter ID laws under your scenario either, but that’s not what would happen. They’ll pick the worst voter ID law that makes it hardest for people to vote and then use that as the model for the country. That’s why Democrats should think twice about championing anything of the sort because the final bill, instead of making it easier to vote in KS, could result in making it tougher to vote in PA.

Question: How many Republican primaries required Voter ID?

It is becoming more evident with each passing day that President Trump is insane, and I do mean that in the literal sense of the word. His DELUSION regarding the crowd size comparison between Obama’s first inaugural and his, despite photographic evidence to the contrary, as well as his belief (and I do believe he seriously believes) that 3-5 million (3-5,000,000!) illegal voters prevented him from winning the the popular vote. These are not the beliefs of a rational person.
Those republicans who do not count themselves among Trump’s overzealous supporters must be getting concerned.

Not like they haven’t tried.

Anyway, Spicer then started rambling about his prized pet football sniffles and was looking forward to the intergalactic tournament of nose picking next week

While you’re digging for your papers boy, how about if you shine my shoes?

What if they gave a press conference, and no one came?

A 5-4 SCOTUS decision would say they can.

Not that they need to. They can pass any law he desires right now and nobody can stop him. He is just too erratic to wait for the slow wheels of Congress to do so and will DEMAND the ability to rule by fiat.

That, if anything, will be his downfall, then we get 3.5 years of President Mike Pence and we segue from “1984” to “The Handmaids Tale” as the guiding book of the administration.

Oh Joy.

Fine by me

The guy who started this cycle’s version of this bullshit has yet to file that lawsuit.

Guess why?

I think that is what ignatius_donnelly was getting at, a National ID Card that all citizens would get that could be used for identification purposes with a voter ID system instead of the haphazard and inconsistent system you are talking about.

After reading most of the first page of The Little Prince he just sort of assumed you did everything by fiat.

Because if everyone has equal/easy access to an acceptable ID it defeats their reason for wanting voter ID laws in the first place?

Another fight for our dear Democratic congresspeople to shirk in the name of “keeping their powder dry.”
