No shit. Plus Warren swore up down and sideways she wasn’t going to beg for Ted’s seat and then leave it empty. If she abandons the Senate seat she got thousands of people to bleed sweat and tears to get her into… Well, hopefully she’d be banned from ever entering Massachusetts again. Oh, and spit on in the street. Because she would deserve it.

ID problem resolved for 107-year-old woman who danced with Obamas
Virginia McLaurin recently told The Washington Post she was unable to get a photo ID to travel because of a bureaucratic Catch-22
ID problem resolved for 107-year-old woman who danced with Obamas
Washington, D.C. passed a new regulation on Monday that allows the city to make exceptions for elderly residents applying for a driver’s license or photo ID. Under the new regulation, D.C. officials will now have the discretion to make exceptions for federal requirements for any D.C. resident over the age of 70, whereby they can come up with other acceptable documents.
The new laws are absolute rubbish. Nothing more than blatant discrimination against the elderly, handicapped, and lower income citizens. There is zero national security gain. It’s all total bullshit.
The new DC law should be just the start of repealing these 1984-style, discriminatory, unjust, and flagrantly un-American laws.

She’s been seen online 66 million times, but the D.C. government still won’t let her get a new license.
