“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.

Is this real life or a god damn SNL skit? It reads like an SNL skit.

    Scene opens on a group of new recruits wearing FBI uniforms.

    Camera pans out, it's an animal shelter.

    Camera pans out further, the man speaking is Kash Patel in a gimp suit.

    Here at the "Friends of Beastiality Institute", we take not asking or telling very seriously, and my thing is definitely bleeeeep*

    Scene cuts to disclaimer of no animals being hurt.

    Disclaimer ends. As we return to the scene with the recruits, we see Kash zipping up his gimp suit.

    "And that, my friends, was consensual."

    Cut to dog wearing a bee suit and smoking a cigarette....

    "live from New York, Kash fucks dogs!"

    The answer he was getting to is just as crazy. There were so many trafficked victims who were also forced into beastiality that ALSO want to be in the FBI there grew a need to update the policy. Like....what?

    I feel like the framing of whether they are victims or not is kinda irrelevant. I just don’t want people who won’t say no to fucking animals just to get into a frat to have any kind of authority.

    What’s really funny here is that they could have said something like “we condensed the questions using screening questions. Instead of asking about specific, uncommon, convictions we ask if they’ve been convicted of anything. This is to make the process more efficient.”

    Or whatever.

    But now, no one is going to believe that’s why, and everyone’s going to believe cash got shagged by a horny goat.

    If you watch the full thing they removed the restrictions for vicims according to Patel. Apparently someone was forced to engage in such acts against their will.

    I get that's what he's trying to say. But that still doesn't make sense to me. Because if someone was trafficked and forced to engage in those acts against their will, wouldn't that situation come up in whatever trial put that on their record? And if someone was in that circumstance, do they still get charged with beastiality despite the fact that it was completely non consensual on their part? That seems wrong to me. Especially if, as he also tried to imply, it happened when they were a minor. If that is the case, I think he should be pushing for the laws around that to get changed, rather than the FBI hiring guidelines.

    But to me this whole thing reeks of a hastily thought up shitty excuse. Because even if it is actually the case, that minors who are trafficked and forced into beastiality against their will still face charges for it, how frequent is it that people in that very specific scenario are also actively applying to the FBI? And if it is one specific person they were trying to make exceptions for, why not make an exception specifically for that person instead of opening up the guidelines as a whole. It's just so stupid and incompetent. But what else can you expect from Kash 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.
