Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.comto politics @lemmy.world•Bondi to prosecute Office Depot worker who refused to print Charlie Kirk flyers1·9 minutes agoThis 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.
Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.comto politics @lemmy.world•Bondi to prosecute Office Depot worker who refused to print Charlie Kirk flyers1·11 minutes agoExactly 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."
Police, for what that’s worth, said
Which would be about “nothing” without independent confirmation.
If you still have any trust in the press releases of American cops, let alone those of the worst of ALL states in 2025, you’re fucking delusional.
You’re right about not jumping to CONCLUSIONS, but you’re dead wrong about having even a modicum of trust in the statements of Mississippi cops before we reach any.

Dude. I get what you’re saying about Bondi, but it’s insulting to the acting chops of Imelda Staunton to call THIS natural-looking:

It’s been a far right genocide denying shit show for roughly ever.
Secondly, “finalizing plans not to recognize Palestine for the time being” sounds like the epitome of bureaucratic time wasting 😄
