"I want to see Trump's girth certificate."

Teflon Don tRump has really put on some weight, since taking office.

Perhaps, as an actor in the movie, Deliverance, starring Burt Reynolds, said, a fellow inmate will tell tRump to "SQUEAL LIKE A PIG!" after Mueller gets through investigating the criminal.

3. I have a "Certificate of Live Birth"

That's what they call it in Kansas. It's the same thing President Obama has from Hawaii. THAT IS A BIRTH CERTIFICATE, you birther fools! Side note: President Obama's mother and grandparents lived in my hometown, as did Tim Kaine's mother. It pleases me greatly that at least a few other liberal thinkers emerged from that right wing cesspool of a town!

5. My two oldest daughters have a BETTER reply, there real original birth certificates are not "legal"

for getting a passport or as proof for other things. NJ did not have all the information now required, so I had to get the new "long form" birth certificates for them. By 1990 when my youngest was born, NJ had changed the birth certificates - so she can use the original. (This was a surprise for me because my 1950 Indiana one is just fine.)

Incidentially, Corsi lived a town over in NJ. After 2004, I stared at some images on the internet of him - in case I happened to see him at a local restaurant or store. (I actually would likely have been too shy to ask if he was Corsi and tell him what a creep I thought he was - so maybe it was good I never recognized him.)

I’ll have to hope the state of California, where I was born, has records of my birth despite the fact it was a charity hospital that burned down a long time ago. I’m not too worried, but I need it just to go to Canada now

Now there is a state wide web site with the information and forms to apply for a replacement: http://www.ca.gov/Agencies/Public-Health-California-Department-of/Agency-Services/Apply-for-Birth-Certificate

7. I have mine. It is hand written and the time of birth was scratched out and rewritten.

I doubt Corsi would think that is real either.

One other thing. People just can't get other peoples birth certificates.

Did you start to get born and realize you'd left the stove on and needed to go turn that off before leaving?

It was just $5, too, plus the mailing fee of around $2.50. It arrived in less than 2 weeks.

16. It wouldn't matter if you did have it - most places prefer the newer copies anyway

When I had to take my birth certificate in to the DMV office to get a new driver's license I had the certificate from the hospital with my footprints, the original birth certificate my parents were given, a certified copy from when my parents applied for my social security card, and a new certified one (because of course I couldn't find the others until I applied for the new one). The only one the DMV office wanted was the new one.
