Irony Abounds

Today Pam Bondi said they she will be investigating those who refuse to print Charlie Kirk memorial posters. I remember when bakers won the right to be complete assholes and refuse to bake a cake for gay weddings. Now the line has changed. If you refuse to do business with RWNJ, hate speech promoters, anti-LGBTQI nutters, neo-Nazis, KKK members, and those who are sexists, you now have to bake them a cake, print their posters, and wipe their tears away about all their butt hurt. I thought we liberals were the pansy, weak ass, snowflakes.

Surprisingly, Matt Walsh, a right-wing influencer with nearly four million followers on X said of Bondi's statements, “Get rid of her. Today. This is insane,” He continued. “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.”

And of course Dumpo had to show his ass: "When Jonathan Karl of ABC News asked Mr. Trump about Ms. Bondi’s hate speech comments, he went after Mr. Karl.

'We’ll probably go after people like you,' Mr. Trump said, 'because you treat me so unfairly — it’s hate.'” Get the baby some diaper cream.

Today's Quote of the Day comes from:

Sarah from Overland Park, KS via NYT

Today, Trump and his ...squad are telling Americans that if you celebrate Kirk’s death, criticize Kirk’s views, comment on Kirk’s own words, or in any way say (or post) something that might hurt some MAGA feelings, you could be targeted by the government and possibly be criminally charged for asserting your Constitutionally protected right to free speech.  (Stephen Miller even said you might losing your driver’s license or be banned forever from social media).

Absolutely insane, illegal, and unconstitutional, not to mention so authoritarian that Putin must be quite proud of his favorite American president.

If you think this won’t rapidly become “if you criticize Trump or his cabinet, or elected republicans, or red states, or MAGA voters (or MAGA non-voters), or the statements, posts, policies of any of the above" you will be: Refer to first paragraph above.

This was all in the works before Kirk was killed; Trump et al. are using Kirk’s death for the crackdown they’ve been waiting for and it is disgusting.  And will escalate as fast as they can make it happen.
