Senate Advances Bill to Make Calling Covid "The China Virus" a Federal Hate Crime [Ace]
— Ace Open Blog

The utterly useless GOP voted in favor of this bill -- it got 92 total votes.



Ninety-two senators voted last week to advance an Asian American hate crimes bill. But its passage likely depends on Democrats agreeing to soften language that Republicans say ties hate crimes too narrowly to the characterization of COVID-19 as the "China virus.”

Even Republicans who voted to advance the hate crimes legislation sponsored by Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii) see it as a jab at President Trump. The bill links his characterization of COVID-19 as the "China virus” to racist and hateful acts.

Republicans also see language in the bill as opening the door to politically correct thought-police squads. Specifically, they are critical of a provision that instructs Attorney General Merrick Garland and Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra to issue guidance on "best practices” for language describing the COVID-19 pandemic.


"Certainly, I condemn hatecrimes against the Asian Americans or any other ethnic group,” said Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), an influential moderate who voted to advance the bill.

Still, Collins, who has been critical of Trump and voted to convict him in his impeachment trial, indicated she thinks the bill is too focused on linking hate crimes to how people talk about COVID-19.

"The bill has some drafting problems that I hope can be corrected. For example, it seems to say that the hate crime has to be linked to COVID, which is rather odd,” she told reporters.

Sen.John Cornyn (R-Texas), who voted to advance the bill, said he’s concerned generally about the criminalization of speech.

"I generally have concerns about people being offended by something somebody said and it’s clearly protected by the First Amendment,” he said. "The parameters of impermissible speech are pretty clear by Supreme Court precedent."

"This is sort of a problem with where we are these days,” he added.

Absolutely useless.

The GOP thinks that 2022 will be a very GOP year.

So they seem to be running to their usual go-to playbook: Neverending surrender.

2022 will not be a GOP year. Conservatives have had enough of the anti-American, anti-Freedom, anti-conservative corporate services cartel called the GOP.

7 502 I believe that the GOP (meaning republicans) are going to have a banner year in 2022.  Squishes are going to be primaried by Trump supporters and they will win in a landslide.
People across the country are taking over the party at the local level in anticipation of the great awakening.  
The only thing that could upset a great victory are individual idiots who want to stay home and not vote in protest to something or other.

T​he Biden administration has ordered federal immigration enforcement agencies to nix the use of terms like "illegal alien” and "assimilation” when referring to illegal immigrants, in favor of more "inclusive language,” according to a report on Monday. ​

The new directive was included in a memo sent to the heads of Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection as part of an effort by the Biden White House to build a more "humane” immigration system, the Washington Post reported, citing copies it obtained.​​

According to the document, "alien” will become "noncitizen or migrant,” "illegal” will be called "undocumented,” and "assimilation” will be refered to as "integration.”​​

Besides, what kind of "great victory" is a GOP win in 2022 going to get me? Surely it can't be as fabulous as 2016, when the GOP controlled the whole enchilada and did jack and shit.

52 I am sorry to read about this Chinese Virus bill intended to silence people from saying "Chinese Virus" in America.  If any nation on earth would allow people to say "Chinese Virus" without fear of the Chinese, er American government attacking them for saying "Chinese Virus" or even just having the Chinese Virus, it should be the USA.

After all one of the things the founding fathers fought and died for was the right to say things like Chinese Virus.  In WW2 our ancestors fought against a tyrannical dictatorship who censored people's speech for saying things such as Chinese Virus.

Chinese Virus.

We FUNDED the lab where it was created, and leaked from, and SOME of it looks like it came from the Defense Department via USAMRIID.
Much like us giving weapons it ISIS via 'arming the Syrians' a few years back, both parties are complicit... so WE, the People, will be lied to.

79 I don't remember the GOP getting too upset about the original Hate Crimes legislation either. You know - the one where killing within your race wasn't quite as bad as inter-racial murder. And - of course - in practice it meant white on black murder was the worst murder. Once that shit passed - with GOP support - who in the Hell thought we WOULDN'T get here ? I'm surprised it took this long.

Oh, we'll take a lot more than this. Remember, people locked themselves in their homes, abandoned their elderly relatives in nursing homes and didn't see their adult children for a year. 

Plus, it's super easy to arrest law-abiding white Christians. We saw that at the Trump rallies. Police don't want to deal with angry, violent minorities. Arresting mom and pop for saying China virus is way better than stopping an Antifa rioter.

I’ve often thought that lawmakers should determine whether proposed legislation is constitutionally allowed before deciding if it’s needed or not. If it’s not constitutional, any questions about whether it’s needed or not are moot. Senator Cornyn says he has concerns about this bill on First Amendment grounds but voted to advance it anyway?

I’m disgusted that any senators, much less supposedly conservative senators, voted to criminalize speech. I expect it from Democrats but not Republicans.

INSANE SPIN.
According to the Biden White House, what Joe Biden says does not represent the official position of the Biden administration.
"The President's use of the 'crisis' label doesn't represent the administration's official position" -- CNN This is amazing. When the Chief of Staff can bat down the PRESIDENT's comments as "not representative of the administration's official position" you have a PROBLEM.

This entire article is total bullshit.  Ace apparently wanted a "click bait" article that just pisses everyone off.  No, the GOP senators didn't vote to pass a bill that makes the phrase "China Virus" hate speech.  This thing is so far from an actual bill it's ridiculous.  
Even Susan Fucking Collins said that unless the language was changed it wouldn't get her vote.

What I do know is that Mazie Horono didn't stand up on the floor of the Senate and introduce a stand-alone bill specifically to make the term "China Virus" a hate crime, then 92 senators stood up, cheered for such a brave stand and voted to make it law.
However, that's how it got passed along in this article.

I'm in the recruiting business. You can't even hint of anything that might be discriminatory. For example, I can't say that my client is looking for energetic recent college graduates. That would imply age discrimination and would likely land you in court. If I said my client is looking for whites only, I'd likely be killed.

And all of the OT prophecies were not for the contemporaries of the Prophets who spoke them, but were for people thousands of years away.  Revelation is ironically supposed to be a DayTimer for the reprobate.

Horseshit. I don't give a fuck what it was attached to. Some senator puts something this blatantly unconstitutional in anything, you oppose it. The GOP just demonstrated that no matter how poisonous the pill is, they'll swallow it.

I'm beginning to not care. All those guns and ammo will never be used, will just end up back in the government's hands. I thought "keep your powder dry" meant to be ready, but it's more akin to "not this hill".

OK, fact check time...
This entire article is total bullshit.  Ace apparently wanted a "click bait" article that just pisses everyone off.  No, the GOP senators didn't vote to pass a bill that makes the phrase "China Virus" hate speech.  This thing is so far from an actual bill it's ridiculous.  
Even Susan Fucking Collins said that unless the language was changed it wouldn't get her vote.  
There are things that if pulled out of context in a procedural vote can look bad.  This is one of them.
We shouldn't let obviously stupid and wrong information initiate a knee-jerk reaction.

You have this odd faith in a system that no longer exists.  Whatever this sorry excuse for a "government" is can not be expected to follow along with any dead and buried parchment.

We are clearly operating WOROL and are ruled by madmen and warlords who have a lot of pent up hate and animus towards at least half the population.

Once again, with feeling - WHY DID IT GO ANYWHERE IN THE FIRST PLACE?

Why were only a handful of people in the GOP willing to vote "NO" right out of the gate?  Did Crazy Maizie hold a gun to Collins' head and say, "I'll kill you if you don't vote to move this forward?"

The bill is a joke, the GOP is a joke and attempts to excuse this abomination by saying it's some five-dimensional chess shit is really a joke.

I imagine Asians of South Korean background  are not too fond of some Chinese either, or some North Koreans for that matter. Why must people of diverse Asian backgrounds all be lumped together?.
