Nolte: Zohran Mamdani Won’t Let You Buy His Food Without Government ID

If you want to purchase food from one of communist Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s government-run supermarkets, you must… present some form of ID.

And not just any ID… government ID.

But-but-but how will married women eat?

Here’s the video and transcript:

“So, our RFP [Request for Proposals] makes very clear that this is a program for New Yorkers to be able to put food on the table, not a program for people to be able to make a quick buck through reselling,” explains Mamdani. “I’m going [to] pass it over to our EDC head, Jeanny Pak, to add some additional details.”

Pak is the Interim President & CEO of NYC Economic Development Corporation.

“Yes, if you look at our RFP for the operator, we are looking to make sure that we target New Yorkers, whether it be [through] a sort of a library card-esque [system], and also, we manage who’s buying and that it’s focused on everyday New Yorkers,” Pak said. “So, we are mindful of that, and we’re going to make sure that we have all the things in place to ensure that that does not happen.”

Libraries are run by the government; therefore, “library-esque” identification is by definition government identification.

And this is what always happens when leftism meets reality.

“Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one’s mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them.”

“The Ministry of Peace concerns itself with war, the Ministry of Truth with lies, the Ministry of Love with torture and the Ministry of Plenty with starvation. These contradictions are not accidental, nor do they result from from ordinary hypocrisy: they are deliberate exercises in doublethink”

“To know and not to know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions which cancelled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them, to use logic against logic, to repudiate morality while laying claim to it, to believe that democracy was impossible and that the Party was the guardian of democracy, to forget whatever it was necessary to forget, then to draw it back into memory again at the moment when it was needed, and then promptly to forget it again: and above all, to apply the same process to the process itself — that was the ultimate subtlety: consciously to induce unconsciousness, and then, once again, to become unconscious of the act of hypnosis you had just performed. Even to understand the word ‘doublethink’ involved the use of doublethink.”

That is VERY racist of him, there is NO such thing as a “Non resident” NO resident is “NON” right commies, going by your logic

[Texas Eagle]

You also need an ID to shovel snow in Madmanistan..

[equaviator]

How much can a NY-er steal from one of those stores before they can be arrested and prosecuted?

[butlerweave]

but Illegals can buy under the table for 20% more ,LOL

[PGR88]

Mamdani reveals how little power the Mayor of NY actually has

He can’t eliminate bus fares, as the transit authority is a NY State appointed board

He can’t do “free childcare” as there is no way NY City could afford it and needs state/Fed aid

He can’t implement any “green policies” as he doesn’t control the grid.

The only things the NY City Mayor really controls are the Police, city roads, parks and trash collection. For that he has some local taxing authority, along with the City Council.

this grocery scheme is only even imaginable because NY City has some derelict retail-type buildings in its possession. Watching him trying to implement a socialist-style food-distribution scheme with limited property and no money is like watching middle-school student government operate.

full of sound and fury but signifying nothing.

[Sirius Lee]

All the blacks are too dumb to figure out how to get an ID. The media and democraps told me so.

[Vaduz]

NYC is looking more like the U.S.S.R. by the day to late for a wake up call.

[ZOOKER]

I keep thinking about those stores in the U.S.S.R. --- the ones for Party members, privileged elites, and certain foreign guests --- you know, the stores that had all the items that all the "other' stores were out of.

You had to have a special gov't ID to buy there, didn't you?

[Mark]

Are all of the employees in a UNION ?

[Red Badger]

You had to have a special gov’t ID to buy there, to breathe.................

[Red Badger]

They don’t have any yet, but when they do they will be union!.............

Hans Gruber Morani needs one good ass whoopin’ and a dinghy back to Uganda. He’s not an American and he never will be. He’s a friggin braindead, thieving Afrikan commie scumbag.

[Allegra]

Well, this sucks.

We all know that women and minorities are too stupid to obtain a government ID. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[SkyDancer]

Probably will charge an exorbitant NYC fee for the ID - only NYC ID’s would be valid.
