Of all the insane shit that's spewed out of that godforsaken country these last 10 years, watching this man try to talk about ensuring victims of bestiality related sex trafficking were still able to apply to the FBI with a straight face was amongst the most insane things I've ever seen in my fucking life
A Republican asked, when Patel said both sides, "you mean the animal? " Patel give a small smile and said something to the effect of no, we got some great canines. Patel goes on to say there's victims of sexual trafficking forced into bestiality and candidates have been automatically disqualified even though they are victims, but we all know it's cause they're letting in weirdos and sexual predators that are like minded and loyal to the regime.
Completely. This is distraction attempt equivalent to "trans kids taking over sports!!!" claims when A) quit fixating on children's genitals you actual pedophiles and B) actual number of trans kids in these sports is like -4 out of 3 million kids in youth sports. They are getting desperate...
Next up, "Victims of bodily probing by aliens should not have to shop at grocery stores with tall people in green/gray clothing!!!!""ALL kids in public elementary schools are being forced to use used Capri sun pouches as catheters and then they feed the collected pee to conservative seniors who vote by mail"
It's fascism. It starts out insane and then just gets crazier from there.
These are people that shouldn't be operating a hot dog stand, but the dumbest among us elected a felon rapist conman and these are the people he identifies with, so that's who gets to run the show.
You can thank our dipshit conservatives and the dipshits that didn't vote.
I'm constantly amazed how many foreigners are aware of what's going on in US politics and even details about how our government works.
It shows how much our shitty politics affect the world. I'm sorry.
It highlights how bad Americans are at paying attention and doing their homework because most Americans have no fucking clue what's going on or how their own government works.
To be fair, I'm barely aware of what's going on in other nation's politics, but that's largely because I'm hyper aware of what's going on in U.S. politics and, unfortunately, that takes up a lot of my time and patience and sanity.
Honestly, I know more about US politics than about my own country because I spend more time on Lemmy than reading newspapers. And any time on Lemmy automatically exposes you to US news day in day out
That's by design. It's the same reason you aren't required to take Statistics in high school. If people knew the actual odds of winning the lottery they wouldn't play. Since the poorest Americans and typically only high school graduates play the lottery religiously it make sense.
I don't think it's just not knowing their rights and such. It also needs to get worse before it gets better. Ever maybe change in government across history wasn't done with protests or signing petitions. It was done with a physical revolution. Until we got that point it will be the same shit.
I love that the glib, completely gibberish response was enough to "slam dunk" a reply for crybabies full of cope.
Don't get me wrong, I eat meat. But everyone equating beastiality to human rape needs to also own up to the billions I guess they are saying they genocide. Not to mention the farmer-rapists jacking and jilling off the animals for forced breeding.
sometimes I will have a thought that is technically correct but I will keep it to myself, because sometimes splitting hairs about sex with dogs or similar topics just comes off as real weird
Oh, it's not the sex with dogs, it's the watered down use of "rape" to mean everything from someone taking a picture of you in public with your clothes on that you didn't approve, to seeing an ugly man in a thong, to apparently fucking a dog.
I understand that it comes off as weird in this instance. Luckily I'm in a shitposting comm, shitposting with a bunch of wannabe vegans who are cucked by their own pork chops.
Thinking about how there's gotta be some dogfucker out there going, "Hell yeah I voted for this!" and how he probably has one of the most coherent and internally consistent reasons for voting Republican out of anyone who did.
Can someone please explain to a non American (there are dozens of us! Dozens!)? I understand the Kash Patel reference but who is the lady on the left (even though judging by her Mar a Lago face she’s on the right too) is and why she hates doggos?
Her dog was "annoying", the crazy part isn't even that she shot her dog. It was was that she willingly told the story as her having the guts to do what she "needed to do"
For admitting sinething like that, she would find her home burnt down on my country. We are animals, but still, american's lack of reaction sickens me.
That's Kristi Noem, a Republican who wrote in her autobiography about how she shot her dog after failing to train it and claimed it showed she was capable of doing "dirty, messy, and ugly" things in politics too.
Kristi Noem, on the left, is the former Director of Homeland Security. She was behind a lot of the ICE bullshit, and was fired by Trump a few months back. She bragged in her book that she shot and killed her dog because she couldn't train it.
Kash Patel, on the left, is the current FBI Director. He's terrible in every way. But the current news on him is about him changes in the FBI hiring process that include removal of automatic disqualification of those who had previously stolen from their employers or engaged in prostitution or beastiality.
Where do we count the meat, dairy, etc. industry lobbyist and legislators making exceptions to the laws in almost every state in the US?
As state legislatures began proposing anti-bestiality laws in the 1990s, the agriculture lobby repeatedly opposed the bills
[...]
Of the 27 states that have enacted bestiality statutes since 1990, 24 include nearly identical exemptions for animal husbandry. (Kansas, Iowa, and Delaware’s laws do not.) With the exemptions included, agricultural interests in many states have gone from covertly opposing anti-bestiality bills to either staying mum or even lobbying for them
A farmer may want to make sure the law lets him fist his steers or whatever the farmer lingo is, whilst holding a fancy turkey baster with cow batter for the oven, for money. For more cows.
Does his nephew diddle the sheep? I dunno. What happens in Kansas and stays in Kansas affects me a lot less on the day to day than...
The director of the FBI seemingly and very vocally suspiciously trying to make his dog whistle sexy.
These sick fucks would bring back the coliseum if they could, and make sure they bold on the marquee in big bold letters how the show features wild beasts sating their every appetite.
So yeah, I personally count AG carve outs a few rungs beneath the wtf ladder from googly-eye. The horror machine AG exemptions can and do empower as far animal welfare goes non-withstanding.
Because these weird fascist fucks always project their desires that they want to push on the rest of us in advance and this one is just fucking weird.
He was at a congressional hearing yesterday. I don't know the context, I just saw the except where he explain the FBI hiring practices and a senator questioning why there are legal consequences for the animal in cases of bestiality.
It gets so much worse than any comment can explain but an important detail that has not been brought up here yet is how Patel argued they had to protect individuals on both sides of beastiality. After being asked for clarification on that, he stated that he would not discriminate against his canine officers over that subject.
The head of the FBI basically admitted to raping canine units in the FBI.
Great news for me! I was ready to congratulate all the people I know who have committed acts of bestiality, even set aside a couple hours on my calendar for it. Didn't need even a moment of that two hour block because I don't know a single person who's ever done that sort of thing.
Now I got two hours to kill and started thinking about something my uncle used to say "I'm fucking this cat, you just hold the tail." Which was a pretty vulgar thing to say to a 10 year old but also what the fuck Uncle Mike?
I read somewhere that the same provision that forbade bestiality also disqualifies people who have been found to have paid for sex three or more times in the last ten years. I think that what's actually happening is that Patel, or a buddy of his, got caught hiring prostitutes a few too many times, and now want to repeal the rule so they don't get kicked out.
But someone saw 'bestiality' and decided to make it about that to distract people.
It's easy to forget about traitors like Kristi Noem once they're out of the spotlight. Hopefully this country doesn't forget to dispense justice to that particular traitor when this is all over. Same goes for traitor Greg Bovino.
So like, for real though, the justification for this was that there are people who are victims of trafficking that are forced into this, right?
At face value, that makes sense. I'm not sure whether every state that convicts for beastiality would also create exceptions for victims of trafficking who were forced into it, they certainly do not when it comes to other offenses.
Yes, you missed that it wasn't for the victims, they're probably already covered for that. It was for people involved in bestiality in general.
While Patel characterized the change as nondiscriminatory toward victims, Durbin refuted the notion and claimed it was a way to protect those who engaged in bestiality.
“You dropped automatic disqualification for applicants who have been engaged in bestiality, not victims of bestiality, applicants who have engaged,” Durbin said to Patel.
Can you ELI5 how an automatic disqualifier based on a conviction that doesn't account for whether or not someone is a victim doesn't automatically disqualify those victims without just saying they're "probably already covered"
Edit to add: I don't see the relevance of what person C says if person A and B aren't going to be taken at their word, either. Durbin's words on the topic matter only as much as anyone else's in a vacuum, and his claim as to what is and isn't currently policy is as meaningless as anyone else's if it's unsubstantiated
I don't think Kash is attending most interviews, and I while I use someone's name as a reason to raise an eyebrow and look into something more than I typically would, I don't base my reason for it being bad solely on the name of the person who did it.
I'm not sure I like the idea of equating public servants (as misleading a term that may be in this case) to celebrities. I've never heard of either of these people outside of the realm of politics, and it just seems like that alone shouldn't qualify them as such.
I used to also think this, but the evidence is rather convincing that he shocked her to try and train her to sit still on a bed in his background for hours. He's also posted other old clips of mistreating her by pulling on her tail. Imo it's distracting to talk about this aspect of him when Republicans do so much worse on a large scale. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzPIgPTPuOA&%3Bamp%3Bamp%3Bt=71
If you can find something that refutes it even better, i would accept it.
I wish we could just settle on a version of the facts that we agree on and just move forward. For me that would be that Hasan Piker does not treat his dog well, but this doesn't discredit his whole unrelated political views.

I'm not sure I like the idea of equating public servants (as misleading a term that may be in this case) to celebrities. I've never heard of either of these people outside of the realm of politics, and it just seems like that alone shouldn't qualify them as such.

They have more credentials to be celebrities than they do to be public servants. This administration is corrupt.

Absolutely, it's wild how thoroughly these people manage to debase their stations.

Hasan Piker didn't shock his dog

I used to also think this, but the evidence is rather convincing that he shocked her to try and train her to sit still on a bed in his background for hours. He's also posted other old clips of mistreating her by pulling on her tail. Imo it's distracting to talk about this aspect of him when Republicans do so much worse on a large scale. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzPIgPTPuOA&%3Bamp%3Bamp%3Bt=71
If you can find something that refutes it even better, i would accept it.
I wish we could just settle on a version of the facts that we agree on and just move forward. For me that would be that Hasan Piker does not treat his dog well, but this doesn't discredit his whole unrelated political views.
