Pam Bondi threatened to prosecute private employee at Office Depot for not printing Charlie Kirk vigil flyers

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

I agree with Office Depot terminating the employees who wouldn't print the fliers as they were not practicing the company's customer service values. However, as a private organization, Office Depot has the right to decide what or what not to print. The federal government does not have the authority to come in and force them to print anybody's media. They have the right to refuse service just like that Christian baker has the right not to make the gay wedding cake. For decades, conservatives have fought the left over this freedom and now Bondi is trying to roll back years of progress. This is authoritarianism.

“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.”

“I have Harmeet Dhillon right now in our civil rights unit looking at that immediately, that Office Depot had done that,” Bondi added. “We’re looking it up.”

Private companies have a constitutional right to refuse service to anyone as long as it’s for non-discriminatory reasons. However, people are pointing to recent Supreme Court rulings that appear to contradict that statute.

In 2023, the Supreme Court sided with a Colorado Christian website designer who did not want to create a website for same-sex couples, despite the state’s anti-discrimination laws. The Supreme Court said the First Amendment protected the designer from creating websites she doesn’t believe in.

Something, something, about baking a cake....It slips my mind.

I am not happy with Bondi over the handling of the Epstein files and her comment that there is “free speech and there is hate speech”

THERE IS NOT HATE SPEECH. THAT IS LEFTY BULLSHIT.

But you lefties go right ahead and keep saying I am in the “MAGA CULT”.

Biondi, this administration, and MAGA show us the reality of the fascism the right wing really has always represented

Fascism took out Kirk

I think being fined is enough.

Just like the Christian baker in Colorado that declined to bake a cake celebrating sodomy, or the clerk in Kentucky who was locked in a dungeon for failure to perform Gay Marriage.

 

[Rogue AI]

Using the left's own tactics and words is exactly the proper strategy to degrade and destroy them. Keep up the good work Team Trump!

 

[ColonelAngus]

Just get them printed elsewhere, who cares?

Everything seems to be a federal case these days.

I had a woman be a complete ***** to me at the DMV a few weeks ago. I moved on with my life and now I have a fun story. Poor civil servant has a shit life anyways. Not going to waste my time trying to get her fired or whatever.

I was next. I went up to the window and she barked at me, “THE COMPUTERS ARE DOWN!” I said, “Not sure how I was supposed to know that.” Then I dropped my papers in front of her and asked if I had everything she needed. She went “DONT THROW YOUR PAPERS AT ME!”



I went and sat down and was able to complete my transaction on my phone as I waited. I walked by and smiled and said, “I am all good. Got it done on my phone, have a nice day.”

Anyways…it is bizarre to me that so many people do not just move along with their lives.

If someone does not want to print Kirk flyers, take your business elsewhere and never go back.

Are you flippin kidding me? Is this really where the resources for our justice department should be focused? The purple haired ***** already lost her job, what ******* more do you want? I mean damn, I get two dozen flippin phone calls a day about Medicare Advantage. All are nothing more than a scam, we are not even in an enrollment period. They are trolling for my Medicare number so they can file false claims. And that is just it.

Trump's justice department, hell, they have thrown open the door, Screw anyone and every one, it is open season. Just stroke us a check now and again. Bondi is absolutely worthless, her record in Florida speaks for itself. What is her claim to fame, oh yeah, she prosecuted Dwight Gooden for using cocaine. Wow, I am so impressed.

Big time drug dealer, you got nothing to worry about. RICO business, no sweat. But damn, what you don't want to do is go off the Trump narrative, like this purpled haired dumbass. Then you face the wrath of God. Totally unacceptable for anyone that can think for themselves, which pretty much totally eliminates the MAGA crowd,

Well, if this is what Pam Bondi said, then she is wrong.

That is a big "If".

The left tells lies as often as they inhale.

Was Office Depot exercising their religious freedom by not printing a poster

The inability of low human capital to read is truly something else.

Then why didn't a Christian bakery have the right to bake or not bake birthday cakes not in accord with their moral values? Why were they run out of business and forced by the government to spend millions of dollars defending themselves for not making a faggoty wedding cake which was in stark contrast to their standards, especially when all the customer had to do was choose another baker down the street to make it instead?

The left never realizes that their 'policies' will always come back to haunt them.

Ahha, so now I've tricked you into putting your own foot in your mouth after you then went on to state that: "For decades, conservatives have fought the left over this freedom and now Bondi is trying to roll back years of progress. This is authoritarianism."

---In effect saying that the Left's crushing of individual rights where they crossed leftwing interests were actually "progress," and that Bondi's mere attempts now to level the playing field with human decency so that all laws apply equally across the field to everyone is now "authoritarian."

Either that or you just really suck at expatiating yourself in the written word.

God God Almighty, this is beyond stupid. Seriously, the efforts of the federal prosecutor should be spent on a purple haired dumbass that has already been fired? I mean for real, get a damn grip. I mean I have seen a lot of stupid shit from the right, but this one, well beyond the pale,

My first thought

democrats can force private businesses to do homosexual related things but we cant get a flyer printed by a democrat

democrats are at war with simple American citizens

 

[elektra]

Yep, and compared to the democrats bigotry hate and murder, MAGA is a fresh breath of air.
