Want to shovel snow? 5 forms of ID please. Want to vote? No problem.

Snowcialism has officially arrived in the Big Apple, folks. Comrade Mayor Zohran Mamdani, is dead set against requiring ID to vote because apparently that's racist or a poll tax or Jim Crow 2.0 or whatever the talking point is this week. But when it comes to signing up to shovel snow for the city during a monster blizzard? Oh, then he wants no less than five forms of identification. 

Welcome to peak progressive logic.

The NYC Sanitation Department website lays it out clear as day: to register as an emergency snow shoveler, you need two small photos (1-1.5 square inches), two original forms of ID plus copies, and your Social Security card. That's right, multiple layers of paperwork just to pick up a shovel and earn some extra cash clearing sidewalks and hydrants. 

Soon they'll be asking us to provide fingerprints, a DNA sample, and an Xray to prove our right to shovel snow.

Mamdani, ever the helpful socialist cum communist, hit a presser Saturday and urged New Yorkers to step up. "For those who want to do more to help your neighbors and earn some extra cash, you too can become an emergency snow shoveler. Just show up at your local sanitation garage… with your paperwork which is accessible online," Hizzoner said at a presser Saturday.

The gig pays $19.14 an hour, jumping to $28.71 after the first 40 hours in a week. Not bad for some side hustle, but good luck if you don't have your ID portfolio ready to go.

Of course, this comes from the same guy who's tied to the New York chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America. The DSA hates voter ID laws with a passion, calling them out as "racist voter ID laws and secret poll taxes like the ‘SAVE America Act.'" Their website proudly declares, "Our candidates for office stand firm against racist voter ID laws and secret poll taxes like the ‘SAVE America Act.'"

So what is it called when people must produce 5 forms of ID to shovel snow?

Social media lit up with ice-cold mockery over the glaring hypocrisy. Fox News host Jimmy Failla quipped on X, "This is Jim SNOW 2.0." X user Casey Cook posted, "No joke. To register to shovel snow in Mamdani’s NYC….for the impending snowstorm, you need two types of identification. Can’t make this up." 

Another user piled on with a Greta Thunberg gif, captioning it, "Mamdani's snow shovelers must be 'Eligible to work in the United States,'" followed by her famous "how dare you."

A City Hall spokesperson tried to clean it up for The Post, explaining, "As with any employer, the City of New York has a legal obligation under federal law to verify work authorization and maintain proper documentation before issuing payment. We are not legally permitted to hand out checks without completing that process."

Fair enough on the federal I-9 rules, but try telling that to the left when the same logic applies to election integrity. Suddenly it's suppression.

Meanwhile, Gotham is staring down a beast of a blizzard, with up to 24 inches possible across the East Coast Sunday and Monday. Wind gusts could hit 60 mph, and snow might pile up one to three inches per hour. If Mamdani's voters want to help dig out the city, they'll need more ID than it takes to cast a ballot. Classic.

Adam "No More Tears" Kinzinger gets whiplash going to CNN from Capitol Hill

The definition of a microsecond is for a Republican to act like a leftist and the time it takes CNN to hire them. 

Former RINO Rep. Adam "No More Tears" Kinzinger has been hired by the Comedy News Network as a senior political commentator on Wednesday where he will have the opportunity to talk trash about the party whose ideology he pretended to hold.

“Kinzinger joins CNN with extensive experience in GOP [LOL] politics, having recently retired [aka voted out] from the U.S. House of Representatives after serving six terms representing Illinois’ Sixteenth Congressional District,” the Democrat network said in a statement. 

“Kinzinger most recently served on the high-profile [kangaroo court known as the] House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol as well as the House Committee on Energy and Commerce and the House Foreign Affairs Committee.”

Is Liz next?

The failing network also noted Kinzinger’s experience serving in the U.S. Air Force in both Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. 

“Happy to join the team @CNN!”  'No More Tears' said on Twitter.

Both Kinzinger and CNN faced mockery on Twitter over the announcement. 

Fox News host Greg Gutfeld had this take:

“I can’t tell if CNN is a dude attracted to crazy women, or a woman attracted to destructive head cases. Either way, this is gunna be hilarious!”

Fox News radio host Jimmy Failla tweeted: 

“WOW – Adam Kinzinger has signed with CNN. He wasn’t kidding when he said he wanted to leave the spotlight.”

Political commentator Stephen L. Miller tweeted: 

“Also, congrats on a new land speed record.”

NewsBusters Managing Editor Curtis Houck tweeted:

“The fact that Chris Licht’s CNN has hired liberal wine mom simp Adam Kinzinger as not only a political commentator but senior political commentator is proof that nothing has changed at CNN from Zucker. By and large, CNN still hates a large part of the country.”

Glenn Greenwald made a great point tweeting:

It's so funny when these liberal outlets know they have to hire "Republicans" to maintain the facade of being a news outlet, but then only hire the ones who agree with liberals on every key issue and won't ever alienate or even challenge anyone in their audience.

So the only question remaining is whether CNN is going to tap Liz Cheney on the shoulder as a tag-team with Kinzinger to attack the GOP.
