ok, USA AG Pam Bondi just might be retarded
-
tl;dr Free Speech matters.
setup: In wake of Kirk murder,
-
some people went to get a flyer printed, for some Kirk vigil
-
Office Depot employees were libs, they refused, showed their hate & bigotry
-
customer complained
-
Office Depot higher ups took care of it, fired bad libs
Got that? They handled it by speech & market processes.
So what does Idiot Pam Bondi do? Threaten to prosecute
https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/bondi-threatens-charges-over-office-140728168.html
Charlie would hate it.
He didn't want to jail opponents (just for being opponents), he wanted free speech & free markets. Office Depot already handled the bad-lib employee.
Good part: I'm not only one to see problem.
Matt Walsh, who I rarely like, but when he's right he's right, said
āGet rid of her. Today. This is insane. Conservatives have fought for decades for the right to refuse service to anyone. We won that fight. Now Pam Bondi wants to roll it all back for no reason. The employee who didnāt print the flyer was already fired by his employer.ā
āThis stuff is being handled successfully through free speech and free markets. This is totally gratuitous and pointless. We need the AG focused on bringing down the left wing terror cells, not prosecuting Office Depot for Godās sake.ā
I hope Bondi backtracks at least.

I'm a near free speech absolutist, meaning I tend to agree with SCOTUS. When in doubt, I side with free speech. This is pretty much the same stance Charlie had.
-
@raphjd It looks like Daily Wire & Shapiro want to take over TPUSA, probably in a bid to make it more pro-Israel, pro-Ukraine, pro-war.
I'm not saying they'll succeed.

"Attorney General Pam Bondi said the Trump administration will be "targeting" hate speech, which she differentiated from free speech ā and then tried to walk it back a day later."
"Thereās free speech and then thereās hate speech," Bondi said in an interview with "The Katie Miller Podcast" that aired Monday
Quote
so legally stupid, it disqualifies her.All Free Speech, anything worthwhile or new, is "hate speech" to someone.
Charlie Kirk said last year,
Hate speech does not exist legally in America. Thereās ugly speech. Thereās gross speech. Thereās evil speech. And ALL of it is protected by the First Amendment. Keep America free
Bondi's walkback?
In an interview later Monday...Bondi said "Itās free speech, but you shouldnāt be employed anywhere if youāre going to say that. And employers, you have an obligation to get rid of people."
"Shouldn't" "anywhere" ??? pathetic
Others appear more sane.
āWe donāt need DOJ to prosecute āhate speech.ā Pam Bondi really isnāt ready for this moment,ā far right [sic; centrist] commentator Mike Cernovich posted on X.
House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., said, āIn America, itās a very important part of our tradition that ā this is a conservative principle, and certainly an American principle ā we do not censor and silence disfavored viewpoints. People in America are allowed to say crazy things.ā
āThat said, if Iām an employer or a government agency and I have someone online who is online celebrating the heinous murder of an innocent young husband and father, I can make the decision that they donāt deserve to work for me," Johnson added.
"Can" fire someone whose speech you don't like..............
................... but not "should" fire someone whose speech Bondi doesn't like. Ok. BetterTuesday, Bondi walked it back more. Said she had only meant "Hate speech that crosses the line into threats of violence"

Still retarded tho. As Charlie said, THERE IS NO HATE SPEECH - TO BEGIN WITH.
Hate speech does not exist legally in America. Thereās ugly speech. Thereās gross speech. Thereās evil speech. And ALL of it is protected by the First Amendment.
Either something is criminal incitement, threat, fraud etc.............or it is WAYyyyyyyyyyyyyyy protected from Bondi's interference, despite "hateful".

If only you would apply the same sentiments expressed in this thread to the FCC Chairman pressuring Disney to cancel Jimmy Kimmel. But, alas, you remain a partisan hack who only wants to acknowledge Free Speech when convenient to you.
-
Let's not forget that it was your side that created and joyfully used Cancel Culture.
It's always funny when you guys cry when you get your own back.
Let's not forget that your beloved Biden used censorship on a massive scale.
-
@raphjd Cancel culture exists on both sides. What is the problem here, that is that the president attacks free speech. He has placed Brendan Carr at FFC, and they threatens tvstations, if they donĀ“t do as Brendan Carr says. So I am happy that you will defend free speech, if that includes free speech for all.
-
@serenity evidence-free
Also: One side's "cancel culture" is freedom of your own associations, do what u want with Bondi rebuked.................
............. ......Other side's "cancel culture" is literal assassination & murder. -
Cancel Culture originated by your side.
Only more recently has it become something the right uses.
As for Jimmy Kimmel, more than 30 ABC affiliates said they were pulling his show due to his comments aabout Charlie Kirk. Those same affiliates said they are going to air the tribute to Charlie.
-
@raphjd Popular theory on "the Right" is this.
-
Libs always knew they were liars & hypocrites, censors, dictators & killers
-
libs didn't care
-
libs didn't care, because they never wanted rules or consistency or good (people living well)
-
that is why it doesn't work, if you ask for honesty or whine about hypocrisy
-
libs go for power, straight up
-
commies always create famines when they take over some country, on purpose, because commies need to kill & degrade their people as part of ruling
-
getting smashed in face, is ONLY thing libs can understand
-
therefore use "Reciprocity"
Not saying I agree 100% - but it's interesting.
-
-
@blablarg18 Are 93% of the Danes assassination and murders, because we boycott the US. Refussing to buy a good is not murder.
-
@raphjd They were rejected to get merge their tv stations, if Jimmy Kimmel was not removed by Brendan Carr.
