The President can vote in local elections? I had no idea.
LOFL that he got his own dang birthday wrong.
Except...it's kind of not funny, assuming he filled out the ballot himself. Because who writes down their birthday wrong? Unless you are experiencing some pretty significant mental decline?

And my first emotional swing from low to high reading 45’s morning offensive rant to that summation of the family’s attempt at voting. Lmao, what a pack of idiots.

I'm going to guess someone put a pre-filled form in front of him to sign. And he didn't recognize his own damn birthday was wrong.
Not teflon, a black hole. Anything he touches, anything thrown at him, is completely consumed and disappears. He goes on as if nothing happened while all around him are torn to bits.
also... voter disenfranchisement for the dumb! I think this is also a big issue b/c the GOP really hates that people (like students) vote where they live & not their permanent home address. I would think that moving to a new city & having a house would disqualify you from voting at your old address
true.
though I agree it would be tedious to change your voter registration when you’re only moving away for one year.
lol.
Most states require this. Often within 30 days, unless it's less than half the year. Exemptions for military (we have to make sure not to trigger a cancellation). Prior to me having an exemption it took 1 trip to dmv in 3 different states. I got voter registration along with license.
I'm going to guess exemptions in similar manner for politicians or other jobs that require extensive time away from home state (especially if family stays behind). States want to keep you because taxes.
How Jared and ivanka don't have to change, I don't understand.

Gillibrand: "It was a sexist smear attempting to silence my voice, and I will not be silenced on this issue; neither will the women who stood up to the president yesterday."
I’m glad she is resisting! My god how I hate this man.

I would guess that they all still own their NY homes and haven’t legally changed their addresses. So that is their voting precinct still. Obama voted in Illinois in 2012.
This may be an indication of watching too much Grey's Anatomy, but my first thought upon reading the stuff about the mail in ballots is that I am pretty sure DJT getting his birthday wrong would totally secure him a spot in Derek's Alzheimer trial.

Speaking of cognitive tests:
@danielseidemann My ailing father - 93 years old, a victim & defeater of Nazism, a right-wing Orthodox Jew - was asked by the physician in the emergency room, seeking to ascertain his cognitive state:
"Who's the President?"
My dad: "You don't want to know".
Jeez, I love my dad.
And
@polotuama Told by friend with elderly mom with significant cognitive decline upon hearing Trump called President on TV: Mom: He’s President? Daughter: Yes Mom: How the hell did that happen?

I will never forgive the attending physician who made my mom say his name minutes before she was sedated and then eventually died. I hope she said it with as much hate in her voice as she could muster at that moment.
There should be a new rule that until he is gone Trump isn't allowed to be one of the cognitive questions.

We had a similar exchange with my grandfather ~15 years ago that our family still laughs about. He had macular degeneration and couldn't see, but always sat in front of the TV listening to CNN with the volume up all the way. One time asked my mom who was talking on tv.
Mom: That's George Bush. Papa: Who? Mom: George Bush, dad...the president? Papa: Now listen Jan, I might be old and I might be blind but I know damn well that that idiot is not the president of the United States.
Hard to believe we now a have a president so terrible that he makes GWB look good. I'm kind of glad my Papa and my mom didn't live to see the Trump era
... How Jared and Ivanka don't have to change, I don't understand.
My guess is because No Rules Apply To Them. See also- Kush maintaining security clearance even though he lied on the application more than FIFTY times.
Sady Doyle's tweet: "Welp, the sitting President of the United States just told millions of people I tried to suck his cock for campaign cash, while my own party calls me a scheming bitch for asking a groper to resign. Yes, it's another amazing day of opportunity for me, a woman in politics."
wtf is he talking about? Bill Clinton? Is her husband Bill? Who got used here? Trump was used just for $$ or Kristen used bill??
Why does he always refer to himself in 3rd person???
I "think" what the mad man is trying to say and what I heard over the weekend that Kirsten use to be buddies with Bill and Hillary but then she turned on them. I don't know if it was the Bill women stuff specifically or Hillary related. So 45 sees her as disloyal now to the Clintons. Go figure - he is sticking up for the Clintons lol
We are so screwed... having to decipher what #45 means by his text-type-on-the-pot crazed rants.
Gillibrand was one of the Senators who called for his resignation yesterday based on the sexual assault allegations. He meant for that tweet to sound like it did. He’ll deny it though.
I'm going to call it now. Her (eta: SHS's) response will be along the lines of:
"I think it speaks to the disgraceful state of our mainstream media that they make the assumption that the comment was sexual in nature. Of course it wasn't, and if that's where your minds go, that's your problem, not mine, or the President's."
Jake Tapper tweet: "Only if your mind is in the gutter," Sarah Sanders says of those who thought POTUS was suggesting something salacious by saying Gillibrand "would do anything" for campaign contributions.

Amazing! I love how accurate that prediction was. Was anyone watching? Was this what April was reacting to?
