Yeah, what’s the point? You get stuck listening to him ramble about something not related to your business there. The photo-ops are always humiliating, as he tries to wrap you into whatever stupid-ass controversy he’s dealing with at the moment. Not worth the time.
it’s not really that hard to get one
That’s the rub. It is not convenient at all here to get ID. The joke universally understood here is that the DMV (the place where the vast majority get their ID) is the worst run, least efficient government body, taking hours to days to navigate.
Add to this that getting to and from the DMV is mostly car dependent. If you’re extremely lucky, you live in NYC that has good* public transportation. If you’re regular lucky, you live in a large city with a very unreliable bus system that might come by your stop once an hour. Going to the DMV becomes a day long chore. If you’re not lucky, you live in a rural area where the DMV is miles away from where you live, underfunded, and understaffed. If you don’t have car (elderly? disabled?) or you’re too busy to make it during business hours (can’t take off work? tough shit) you’ll be out of luck.
And none of this is to say that it is easy to acquire the ID once (if) you arrive. You need various forms of paperwork that may or may not be readily available to you. Sometimes you have to get paperwork from other government bodies, which are also cumbersome. Also the backlogs. In my state, the backlog for driver license renewal is months long.
To summarize: nothing is really made for convenience here as it concerns voting. Decades of Republican sabotage has put as many obstacles in place to make voting (and registering to vote) difficult as possible. Even getting ID is cumbersome and relies on being healthy enough and well-off enough to be able to afford the trouble of getting it.
Hard to argue that. But Trump et al are significantly stupider than bears, so it probably evens out.
“Hey listen, the wild bear is the one mauling everyone in the school. Blame the bear! Yes, we placed honey in the open door and smeared the children’s faces with fresh salmon, but it’s the bear that is eating the children. Please donate to help me scold the bear.”
I hate Cloudflare so much. It’s getting to the point that some apps I use in browser will just stop working, and when I reload the tab to reset it, turns out Cloudflare was blocking the traffic until I do their stupidass human test.
Anyone else having issues redeeming it? Hope I can nab them before the deadline.
Nevermind, I got it when I disabled my PiHole. 🤷
It would be worth your time to listen to this legal breakdown on what the appeal is about and why she’s likely to succeed. TL;DR - Blame the prosecutors that gave Jeffrey Epstein that sweetheart deal. It was even more sweetheart than it appeared on the surface.
I was speaking generally about the concept of deporting “the criminal illegals”.
And there’s no guarantee of justice once they leave our jurisdiction. Even assuming they got the right guy… what? He murders someone and gets to go home with no punishment? That’s a travesty.
This has been happening forever in the adult video space. Certain kinks are verboten and disallowed by payment processors, which leads to a kind of underground gray market where you have to use certain euphemisms to avoid getting flagged.
The Snyder Superman movies were good, actually.
How would they even do that? Every right-wing weirdo that I’ve seen that cares that much about city life has been so scared of the “crime” and “ghetto” there they won’t step foot in the city lines.
Exactly why I can’t take any of these weenies seriously when they spout this nonsense on whatever Pod Save Whatever episode they’re on this week.
