Fact check: Trump says again that Americans need ID to buy groceries. They still don't

Wait. Hold on. This is too good. Are you now suggesting that Trump purposefully uses inaccurate language in order to focus media coverage on his issue du jour? Because yesterday the story was that he was accurate all along and that we were nitpicking and missing the message because we listened to the words. Furthermore, if voter ID is Trump's new pet project that he wants us all to focus on, what about it does he want us to focus on? What are his policy recommendations? Does he even know the aspects of voter ID that fall under federal jurisdiction versus state jurisdiction? Trump first made his grocery ID claim in July 2018. The same uproar happened then. If Trump was being so clever to attract pur attention, as you claim, what he has done about voter ID for the past 15 months?

I'm sorry, but you have posted so much bull**** in this thread that my eyes are watering.

LMAO I never said he was accurate, read my FIRST post in this thread...

You are too cute, you know that, your outrage, your lack of nuance, you and Trump are almost alot a like, you know that?
 
Poor POTUS. Tweets all day but still needs you to translate his messages for him because he's so stupid. Winning.

Possibly SOME may be stupid or lack the common sense tools or a frame of reference or merely have been inside a tiny bubble for so long.

We see this play out every day.

ad infinitum.

Nancy, Chuckie, and Gerry can talk to you about some basics concerning projected hypocritical viewpoints and some current events.

 
I pointed out that there are times when a person DOES have to show ID. That's still true. To focus on something so minuscule is Trump Derangement Syndrome in action. Own it.

Trump derangement syndrome (TDS) is a derogatory term for criticism or negative reactions to United States President Donald Trump that are alleged to be irrational and have little regard towards Trump's actual positions or actions taken.

Um, criticizing someone for saying a factually incorrect statement is not irrational.

Saying "You need ID to buy groceries" multiple times is irrational.

Own that.

You're doing that thing again where people ignore uncomfortable questions. Here. I'll paste them.

The bolded...no....not NOW...I've ALWAYS said that....

As far as the rest of your points, the same can be said about Congress....what have they done on any aspect of improving Americans lives?
 
I like his policies. I support him. I will defend him. Besides, he is right, often you do have to provide an ID to buy groceries. And lots of other things. As you well know, this isn't really about groceries, but the issue of whether an ID should be required for other things, more important things, like voting. I support ID's for voting.

I have never in my life been asked for ID to buy groceries.

Never.

IDs for voting is a poll tax and an invasion of my privacy.

I'm not talking about Congress. I'm talking about what you claimed about Trump. I'm trying to help you see that you're all over the place and posting nonsense just as quickly as it pops into your skull.

LOL You act like I'm in the inner circle...why is that?

Read post #2 in this thread, and move along, it's quite simple.

Ok, don't support what you said. Fine by me.
 
Good for you. We're not talking about his policies, KellyAnne, although to be fair, he doesn't even know what his policies are from day to day, so I doubt that you do. No, you do not need an ID to buy groceries. What you want to do is change the false thing he said to something that is true, like, "You need an ID to buy alcohol from a grocery store," or, "You need an ID to pay for groceries with a check." You can support him all you want, but when you distort or reinvent reality in order to defend him for something absurd, then you're humiliating yourself. Seriously. Consider why you would sacrifice your own credibility, which you worked your entire lifetime to build, on his altar. If you want to support the man, I suggest you stick to his policies (like voter ID) because things like the Alabama hurricane and grocery store ID are a sheer embarrassment for you all.

Wow.... Trump Derangement Syndrome seems contagious among liberals. As Shakespeare said, A tempest in a teapot. This is what destroys liberal credibility.

The Trump hate is palpable. He lives in liberal heads.

No it's not. It's to make elections more honest. And liberals know it.

You're literally just typing words into a text box that have no coherence, very little meaning, and no relevance to me. Criticism is not derangement, but I get the sense you're just repeating what somebody else told you.

Are you and sjmay the same person? Why do some Trump supporters talk about hate and derangement in virtually every post when they're talking to people who have displayed neither. Guilty conscience much?
 
No it's not. It's to make elections more honest. And liberals know it.

More honest than what? Are you suggesting that elections aren't honest now? Because that would explain how Trump won. Describe the problem that you think voter ID will solve.
 
No it's not. It's to make elections more honest. And liberals know it.

Total nonsense. It's about controlling who votes. Why do you think after scotus claimed in 2012 we didnt need parts of the vra because we had advanced as a society and it was irrelevant Republican operatives country wide immediately began to ask for voter registration data, particularly who voted and what they used - Id or license - to register to vote?

Because you dont want people voting. The lower the turnout the more it helps Republicans, historical fact.

And cons know it.

No, often most people don't. The vast majority of the time when I shop for groceries I do not have to show ID, even when I am buying alcohol and/or cigarettes, which is the only time I and most people I know have to show ID at all when buying any groceries.

It is if you understand their viewpoint,

They don't write checks.....therefore they make the assumption that if they don't do it, and no one they knows does it, then NO ONE DOES IT.

It's how they lost in 2016, and it's how they are on track to lose 2020.

A closed mind, lack of objective reasoning, and a requirement to follow commands keeps the obvious out of arms reach.
 
So... His point was that small percentage of people require ID to buy groceries because of the 19th century method they use to pay for food?

Well, okay then. I guess we should base policy on that.

People wrote checks for groceries in the 1800's? I didn't know that.
 
Yes it is. I guess the President's problem is that he fails to take into account the indoctrinated ignorance of some of the people.

He said nothing about buying groceries with a check or credit card. He said nothing about buying alcohol or tobacco. You guys are making all that up to try to justify the stupid things he's repeatedly said to try to justify voter ID laws.

And the President certainly does take into account the indoctrinated ignorance of people, it's how he got elected. "I love the uneducated" -DJT

A Brief History of Checking

Even older.

Very interesting information on the practice of using checks in commerce.

As to grocery stores.

Grocery Store History - Grocery.com

In the U.S., American English (1828) took the term grocery to mean ‘a grocers’ shop.’ A U.S. grocery store chain, ACME, was founded in Philadelphia in the year 1891 and was among the first stores in the region. The concept of a self-service grocery store began around 1913 when a firm in Montana obtained a copyright for the word ‘groceteria,’ but it was not until 1916 that self-service was recognised. Previously, shoppers had to give the grocer their grocery list and wait to be served. The self-service concept has given shoppers a chance to pick items themselves; this has revolutionized the grocery store business.
