So let me get this straight, a baker can refuse service for creating a wedding cake for a gay couple but a printshop has to print a vigil sign for a guy they disagree with?

Just to make it clear, the FBI did not find the killer, he turned himself in....the FBI had no hand in actually finding him.

It's weird you're seeing that MAGA will criticize Bondi, but not Trump on this, when he appears to be on the same page and/or wants to take what constitutes "hate speech" even further. It'll be interesting 1. To see if and how they try to pivot and "clarify" in the short term and 2. the message Trump and others push forward in the coming days and specifically on Sunday at Kirk's Memorial.

They are using Kirk for their own insane purposes. They don't actually give a DAMN about that man.

The amount of mental gymnastics needed to go from "change things in museums so that they only show the great things about America" to "we're bringing back Confederate leader's names!" would win a gold medal for sure.
