Democrats support photo ID to dine out in D.C. but oppose it for voting absentee

The nation's capital under Democratic Mayor Muriel Bowser is set to institute some of the nation's strictest COVID measures, effective Saturday.

Democratic Mayor Muriel Bowser is set to require photo identification and a vaccine passport to dine out or work out in the nation's capital — even as her party vows parliamentary scorched earth to power through a national ban on requiring photo ID — or any documentary proof of identity — to vote absentee.

Effective Saturday, Washington, D.C. institutes one of the most restrictive COVID-19 mandates in the nation, requiring all patrons over the age of 18 to show photo identification, while ages 12 and up must show proof of vaccination before visiting most indoor establishments.

The D.C. photo ID requirement comes into effect just as President Biden has endorsed scrapping the Senate filibuster so that his party can force through on a party-line, 51-50 vote election overhaul legislation outlawing requirements "to submit any form of identifying document as a condition of obtaining or casting an absentee ballot."

Under the patchwork of new D.C. restrictions and preferences governing freedom of movement, people will not be required to show ID and a vax card to enter grocery stores, places of worship and government offices. They will, however, need to show their documents for indoor restaurants, gyms, theaters and other entertainment venues. Mask requirements are also still in place.

D.C. authorities refuse to accept a negative test to allow a person to enter an indoor venue unless that unvaccinated "patron has a religious or medical exemption" and can provide proof of their beliefs or condition as well as a negative PCR or antigen test from within the previous 24 hours.

The vaccine mandate could possibly expand to those younger than 12 in the future. "They are not covered by the order at this time," D.C. authorities state.

Acceptable photo ID includes a passport, a state-issued driver's license or a student ID.

Unless a customer's vaccination status is linked to a membership, such as at a gym, facilities must check a customer's ID and vax record every single time they enter.

Businesses that do not comply may have their business license revoked or face a $1,000 fine, but employees are not required to show proof of vaccination at this time.

Mayor Muriel Bowser (D) tweeted a reminder of the requirement Tuesday, hours before President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris spoke about pending, Democrat-proposed voting legislation that would allow voters to cast their ballots without showing ID.

"Remember that starting Saturday you will need these three things before heading out: 1. Proof of Vaccination (12 years +) 2. Proof of Vaccination and Photo ID (18 years +) 3. Mask," Bowser tweeted.

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) responded to Bowser: "Dems think it's racist to require voter ID but are happy to segregate the unvaxxed and require anyone leaving their home to have a photo ID, mask, and proof of vaccine. Big Brother Dems want to divide us. How will they enforce?"

"I thought showing a photo ID was akin to Jim Crow, oppressive and racist," Fox News contributor Tomi Lahren tweeted.

Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said: "Congress can and should step up and stop this vindictive abuse of children and other citizens in our nation's capital."

"So it's okay to require ID to buy a cheeseburger but it's 'racist' to require ID to vote in an election? This is disgusting," Rep. Jeff Duncan (R-S.C.) tweeted.

D.C. residents do not need to show identification to vote. People who register by mail to vote need to provide the last four digits of their Social Security Number or their driver's license/DMV-issued ID number.

^^^ You could point that out to them, they still wouldn't see the irony or hypocrisy.

I love this- the filibuster will not be “scrapped”. This is lip service to leftist morons.

So Up-Chuck Schumer...how is it that back in 2005 you said scrapping the filibuster would destroy our democracy....

But now that your party has the upper hand, we have to scrap the filibuster to save our democracy

“Bottom line is very simple: The ideologues in the Senate want to turn what the Founding Fathers called ‘the cooling saucer of democracy’ into the rubber stamp of dictatorship. We will not let them. They want, because they can’t get their way on every judge, to change the rules in mid-stream, to wash away 200 years of history. They want to make this country into a banana republic, where if you don’t get your way, you change the rules. Are we going to let them? It’ll be a doomsday for democracy if we do.”

At this point isn’t being a politician synonymous with hypocrisy.

So most employers have a vaccine mandate, requiring either you have the jab(s) or you get weekly tested (depending on the state either the employer pays for it or it is on the employee's time and dime). Now we have a testing shortage. I work with a couple people who did not get the jab but now are considering it because there is no testing available and without a negative test, they are on unpaid leave until they can submit a negative test.

Kind of funny that just as the vaccine mandates went into effect, there are no tests. I know the old saying "don't attribute to deliberate malfeasance when simple incompetence might be the reason." But these are dimocraps we are talking about, both incompetent and corrupt conspirators.

If you want proof that all of this has absolutely nothing to do with the virus or public health, these are just more examples to confirm that. There is no difference between a vaccinated and unvaccinated person when it comes to acquisition and spread of the virus. None. That is no longer open to debate as the data and evidence is everywhere. Mandating vaccines is the height of stupidity and demonstrates once again the Dem's goal of creating chaos, reeking damage, and tightening their grip on the populace. Every single business owner in DC should band together with every private citizen and send a strong, unmistakable message to Bowser (a barely functional retard) that no one is going to put up with her shit. One one. We have truly passed beyond ridiculous and absurd to land squarely at the feet of asinine and retarded.

Molnupiravir

Was a drug developed to combat equine encephalitis.


In other words, horse brain desweller is good. Horse dewormer is bad.

Oh, and don't forget that there are concerns that Molnupiravir could potentially screw with your DNA, although Merck says testing on animals shows that to be unlikely.

According to Jack Posobiec, the Supreme Court will rule on the vaccine mandates tomorrow.

My company seems to be quietly trying to ignore this mandate now, we are one that is subject to the EO-based one for Federal workers and contractors.

They were all gung-ho until the injunction but are now like "Meh...whatever...just come in to work"

Supreme court made its decision.No vaccine,testing or masks for business over 100 employees. The health care industry must vaccinate in most cases.

Nice. I still don't understand how the health care one is staying. I don't understand what laws grants the federal government the ability to do that.

I think it's because of Medicare/Medicaid funds. But I'm sure others will chime in.

In dissent, the court's three liberals argued that it was the court that was overreaching by substituting its judgment for that of health experts. “Acting outside of its competence and without legal basis, the Court displaces the judgments of the Government officials given the responsibility to respond to workplace health emergencies," Justices Stephen Breyer, Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor wrote in a joint dissent.

Quick question. Do you dipshits know who was responsible for there being LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE DEATHLY ALERGIC TO PEANUTS?

I'll save you the brain work: Health Experts. My own kid's pediatrician said, "Oh yeah we got that one wrong. That was our bad. You should totally expose your kids to peanuts and peanut butter very early on."

Dipshits.

Yep - due to these places taking Medicare and Medicaid - which is an easy fix - stop taking both and tell the gov suck hind tit - but we know how this will go - healthcare org I worked for some years back was raking it in thanks to Medicare and Medicaid

Now if all healthcare workers walked away from places that forced it and went to places that didn't then that would shift the tide and these places doing Medicare and Medicaid wouldn't have the staff to even provide services let alone bill for it through Medicare and Medicaid

SCOTUS: "COVID–19 can and does spread at home, in schools, during sporting events, and everywhere else that people gather. That kind of universal risk is no different from the day-to-day dangers that all face from crime, air pollution, or any number of communicable diseases."

It is called CMS which is the bane of those working in healthcare. They set the pay scale as well. They will just turn off the money faucet to begin with. Other consequences will follow.
