“Businesses cannot discriminate,” Bondi said.
You stupid bitch, your side literally cried for years because a shop refused to make a cake for a gay couple, claiming it was their right to refuse it.
I thought it was free speech to refuse service to people you don’t like?
Man, it’s going to be wild when Taco passes away, because there will be people celebrating and they will be doing it openly.
If the snowflakes cannot handle what people say about a bottom-tier Nazi podcaster who many people had zero awareness of, they are going to positively lose their minds when they see how many people really, really hate Orange Jesus and start spontaneously celebrating in the streets.
They are going to be so busy trying to dox 2/3 of the nation…
“Businesses cannot discriminate,” Bondi said, referring to the Office Depot incident.
Yet the GOP wants ‘conscience clauses’ for pharmacists to be able to refuse to fill prescriptions for drugs they don’t approve of, for medical personnel to be able to refuse health care to people they don’t approve of, and of course for bakeries to be able to refuse their services to people they don’t approve of.
If it wasn’t for hypocrisy, the GOP would not exist.
While it’s hypocrisy in practice, it’s not hypocrisy in belief. Conservatives believe that there are people who the law protects but does not bind, and those the law binds but does not protect. When you realize that the regime is acting under a belief that freedoms only apply to their own kind, their behavior is consistent. Reprehensible, but consistent.
That arguably goes without saying. They don’t know they’re being hypocritical and they don’t care. They think, say, and do what they’re told to. The few who know better are the ones dictating the narrative.
What possible charge could the feds Levy for refusing to print flyers? I can’t think of anything, and I do not see how interstate commerce comes into this at all for Pam bondy’s dumbass to get involved in the first place.
Accusing them of enabling terrorism seems to be one potential path.
The US AG really going after the big fish on this one. Way to defend America from the print guy at Office Depot, Pam! You stupid fucking cunt.
FORMER print guy. Office Depot fired him before this.
Punishing little fish is easier to set the expectation that opposing the Party will have consequences.
What’s the crime? Oh right there isn’t one and this administration is just making shit up at this point.
There’s plenty of crimes being committed here.
Remember the cake shit? Not so good now that the shoe is on the other left foot huh?
It’s different because Nazis are not a protected class. The kinds of things Kirk said were a CHOICE. Being gay isn’t.
It’s different because Nazis are not a protected class.
Were not a protected class, until now under this regime. Regardless of what any laws may say, since they no longer apply.
And even if it was …
I want a cake of Charlie Kirk spewing strawberry icing from his throat
Yep. She doesn’t, I guess.
Didn’t Trump get convicted of 34 felonies? When will he be sentenced for those?
When he leaves office in a few years there will be a democratic president who will make it their lifes work to finally bring him to justice!!!
(Just kidding. The fat blobby child rapist will never leave office because there will never be another (fair) election.
Christ, if there is another democratic president they’ll drag their feet -just like that bumbling twat biden did- for years and years until the repugs get voted in again, who will try to bury it.
Then the next democratic president will drag their feet until they leave office.
Rinse and repeat until everyone forgets about the obese orange imbecile, his many crimes, and his paedo ways. It’s fucking sickening, america. Look at what you’ve become.)
Now, THIS is definitely illegal.
Who’s going to do anything about it? There’s only one box left.
I can’t wait to hear that they failed to get a grand jury to even rubber stamp the charges.
Maybe she can throw a ham sandwich at them.
…what law did they break?
And how did it differ from refusing to decorate a cake for a same sex wedding?
It’s not, but that doesn’t matter anymore because the rule of law is over in the US and the 1st amendment is no longer in force. Welcome to the Republic of Gilead.
Exactly what I said to my wife. This clear cut he didn’t have to print those flyers.
Well the store was within their rights to discipline/fire him if the sign didn’t violate their policies but yeah he didn’t break any laws
The law of the hurting the feelings of Nazis.
Not swearing fealty to our new god emperor
Feelings law. Trying to set more illegal and morally fucked up precedents.
This will be shot down a million times in court. The defendent will get the BEST pro-bono lawyers from the ACLU, and we will have paid for this with tax dollars.
Pam Blondie really failed law school. This is fucking disgusting.
This will be shot down a million times in court
Before getting to SCOTUS who will likely carve out an exception to their wedding cake precedent to serve their fascist masters.
There is no law allowing her to prosecute anything here, especially not for saying things. SCOTUS can’t just make up laws.
SCOTUS can’t just make up laws.
Pam Blondie
It was right there this whole time! How did we miss it?
But in her mind, she’s the oh so cool “Bondi. - Pam Bondi.”
They are a private business right? They can choose not to print them, no?
They’re not even going after a private company. They are going after one (now) ex-employee.
Literally the definition of free speech.
I don’t think that’s correct.
“Businesses cannot discriminate,” Bondi said, referring to the Office Depot incident. “If you wanna go in and print posters with Charlie’s pictures on them for a vigil, you have to let them do that. We can prosecute you for that.”
That’s not discrimination. White supremacists and fascists are not a protected ciass. The government is obligated to allow them speech on public property, however Office Depot is not the government or public property. Businesses are not obligated to serve or do business with them or tolerate their speech.
Exactly the opposite of what these fascist hypocrites said when a bigot refused to make a wedding cake for a same sex couple.
This Sartre quote applies here:
Never believe that
anti-Semitesfascists are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. Theanti-Semitesfascists have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past."If you ask the more thoughtful Republicans on the internet, they’ll tell you that they were against this sort of thing, but the Democrats weaponized it anyway and now they’re not going to put themselves at a disadvantage by refusing to retaliate in kind. It’s consistent, although I don’t know if it’s true. Trump and co aren’t principled people but they might not have come up with the idea themselves.
Pam Bondi is a liar and a fool. Just because some wannabe Nazi bitch in government says something does just make it fact.
This timeline is so cursed.
They were just an employee…and they’ve already been fired.
Wait… Does that mean we can get Gay cakes made now?
That gay cake thing was entirely fabricated. Like there was no gay couple that requested that cake be made, the woman who sued over it just made the shit up out of whole cloth with the right wing organizations banking the lawsuit. They did not have standing but the Supreme Court ignored that.
That was the website design women. In Colorado the cake nonsense actually happened and made it to the Supreme Court. Doesn’t make the cake maker any better.
“We don’t print propaganda, it’s propaganda.”
What a legend.
