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.
Yep. She doesn’t, I guess.
I want a cake of Charlie Kirk spewing strawberry icing from his throat
“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.
Now, THIS is definitely illegal.
Who’s going to do anything about it? There’s only one box left.
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.
They were just an employee...and they've already been fired.
...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It's not, but that doesn't matter anymore because the rule of law is over in the US and the 1st amendment is no longer in force.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
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.
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.
The victimizing is insufferable.
"We don’t print propaganda, it’s propaganda."
What a legend.
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.
“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?
For what, actually?
She probably won't, but of she does, I'm sure they can fuck the guy's life up bat without any legal basis whatsoever. It's not like the law matters to them any more.
For “being the bad guy” of course. This is Perry Mason 101. Where did you go to law school?
The GOVERNMENT Jailing people who Make them Upset is called FREEDOM!
More manufactured crisis bullshit from the party that protects a child rapist
Didn’t Trump get convicted of 34 felonies? When will he be sentenced for those?
I can't wait to hear that they failed to get a grand jury to even rubber stamp the charges.
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...
What's the crime? Oh right there isn't one and this administration is just making shit up at this point.
The only language fascists understand is violence.
There's only one way to get through to them
Where's his gofundme? I'll pitch in a couple of bucks.
These people are stuck on stupid. Trying to make Kirk out to be a hero just shows how little they care about reality. I feel sorry for them looking up to Kirk. They apparently all aspire to be losers who make money off of hate. I guess it is their "thing".
