Twitter Users Needle Donald Trump For His Claim You Need Voter ID To Buy Cereal
Yahoo ^ | 11/14/2018 | Yahoo

Trump then lobbied for voter ID with a bizarre statement that left many people scratching their heads.

“If you buy a box of cereal — you have a voter ID,” Trump said. “They try to shame everybody by calling them racist, or calling them something, anything they can think of, when you say you want voter ID. But voter ID is a very important thing.”

As anyone who has purchased cereal might have noticed, you don’t need to show ID.

Still, that didn’t stop Twitter users from milking the president’s comments for laughs.

Maybe he should have said, "If you buy a bottle of malt liquor you have voter ID."

If I want to buy cereal at Costco, Sams Club or Restaurant Depot, I need a signed picture ID to get in and again show it at the check-out counter.

I’m sure there are other stores that require the same.

“If you buy a box of cereal — you have a voter ID”

These libs spread the message like the little NPCs they are.

Here’s a typical exchange made with an NPC (that’s Non Player Character for those of you not familiar with the NPC meme ... NPCs are simple, programmed people in games that only say two or three sentences ... usually the same ones ... almost identical to their liberal counterparts in the real world).

NPC : “HEH HEH BAD ORANGE MAN MADE A TYPO HE’S STUPID I’M SMARTER HA HA HA.”

Normal person : Don’t you realize that anyone not programmed like you sees his tweet and knows exactly what he’s talking about. Since he knows you’ll retweet it with your commentary, you’re spreading his message for him.

NPC : “UM. YOU ARE A RACIST!”

The NPC fails to learn its lesson since it is basically brain dead. The NPC doesn’t learn and will do the exact same thing at a later date.

I guess the word "facetious" is not in their vocabulary.

If this is all they’ve got, we must be doing something right.

Guarantee my Kroger card has more safeguards than whatever they use in southern Florida.

Also some stores will ask for an ID card when paying with a credit card or check.

A lot of Florida voters likely got their ID out of a cereal box.

He is correct. You cannot legally make money without an ID. Therefore, you cannot purchase a pack of gum without money. There is no reason at all to stop voters from carrying an ID that identifies them as 1) A Citizen 2) Eligible to vote. It is simple it is important, and the only reason not to have it is politics.

Maybe this?

““The SNAP/Food Stamp caseworker is required to verify your identity. 7 CFR 273.2(f). There are many ways, however, that you may verify your identity. A photo ID is only one way....”

ID to use check, credit, debt, EBT, etc cards for payment.
Cash usually acquired via ATM nowadays, requiring ID.
Camera surveillance records everyone at checkout, practically ID.

Few people anonymously acquire cash and buy cereal untraceably.

Most people use ID, one way or another, when buying cereal.

I can see you’ve dealt with NPCs.

Twitter users don’t know hyperbole.

A healthy dose of sarcasm/hyperbole. It’s only bizarre to idiots.

They live in a different world. They know nothing about Costco Sam’s Club and the rest, but it makes them feel good to say stupid things.

You may need ID to get the EBT card that you use to pay for the cereal, LOL.

Perhaps he’s referring to EBT cards.
