“Why would you even get into bestiality?” he asked. “We’re not into bestiality,” said Patel.

In a further exchange, Patel explained to Senator John Kennedy, the Louisiana Republican, that previously, regulations had barred anyone who engaged in bestiality “on either side of it.”

“Either side of what, the bestiality?” asked Kennedy. “So you disqualified the animal?”

“We have great canines, but we’re not going to disqualify them,” said Patel.

    Its hard to understand why they would do this. Some high muckety muck must have hit bestiality (I’m sure they prefer “zoophilia”) on their polygraph, or else its a opener/stage setter to ease a broader category of crimes, probably pedophilia and rape.

    But no one can claim the GOP doesn’t love animals anymore. A Lot. Patels claim that this is aimed at protecting sexual assault vicitims is nonsensical. They could carve out a law specifically for that use case but they didnt. And the FBI pushing a law specifically for an exceedingly rare outcome for victims is out of pattern. Its not about victims, its to protect perpetrators-- as is usual for republicans in the US.

    Why do I get the impression some second rate LLM scraped references to "fucking the dog’ and turned it into official FBI policy?

    Two years of total control and this is what they consider a win?

    I know there’s no conservatives here because Lemmy is very much not a safe space for them, but I’d really like to ask one what the fuck they think winning is.

      its pretty clear that being able to fuck livestock on a streetcorner and get away with it = winning. Good job republicans. Whenever I’ve heard “the south will rise again” this is exactly the sort of stuff I thought would happen. This and the elimination of womens rights and the legal enshrinement of racism.

      There’s conservatives everywhere on Lemmy lmfao. There’s even conservatives who think they’re communists, there are so many right wing cesspools here just like every other website. There’s also just a lot of right wing propaganda that’s so prevalent elsewhere that it’s getting regurgitated by majority of people worldwide and then gets plastered all over here by “extreme leftists” who don’t even realize what they’re saying. I do envy your experience here though.

      They say the sky is green, the govt says it’s green. They say you are vermin, the govt says your vermin. They definitely love seeing you having to live beneath whatever they say. Costs be damned, they won.

        True, but they dont love being laughed at for being idiots. And this will 100% result in a lot of comedy at their expense. So GOP leadership must want this pretty badly. It could be related to this governments attempts to integrate government functions with the state of israel.

    These DEI hiring standards are getting out of hand.

    Are companies going to have to hire donkey fuckers to their boards in order to comply or what?

    We’re not into beastiality,” said Patel. “It’s interspecies erotica, and we will not engage in this type of kink shaming.”

      If the other spices cannot be consenting a consenting partner, wouldn’t that be interspecies rape and sexual assault? I don’t want anyone willing to commit sexual assault regardless of the species as law enforcement, especially in this dumb fuck wanna be Nazi government

    bestiality is just a form of non consensual behaviour so it makes sense that people who join this fbi would be attracted to it.
