Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

They are a private business right? They can choose not to print them, no?
They're not even going after a private company. They are going after one (now) ex-employee.
Literally the definition of free speech.
I don't think that's correct.
That's not discrimination. White supremacists and fascists are not a protected ciass. The government is obligated to allow them speech on public property, however Office Depot is not the government or public property. Businesses are not obligated to serve or do business with them or tolerate their speech.
Exactly 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:
If you ask the more thoughtful Republicans on the internet, they'll tell you that they were against this sort of thing, but the Democrats weaponized it anyway and now they're not going to put themselves at a disadvantage by refusing to retaliate in kind. It's consistent, although I don't know if it's true. Trump and co aren't principled people but they might not have come up with the idea themselves.
Pam Bondi is a liar and a fool. Just because some wannabe Nazi bitch in government says something does just make it fact.
This timeline is so cursed.
They were just an employee...and they've already been fired.
