What did Kash fuck to earn that #10 spot?

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago

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.

[–] DillDough@lemmy.zip 2 points 5 days ago

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.

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.

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.

Bros crying

[–] rmrf@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 days ago (2 children)

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.

Is there something I've missed?

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 7 points 5 days ago (2 children)

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.

[–] rmrf@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

they're probably already covered for that

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

there are people who are victims of trafficking

You think that's who Kash is hiring?

[–] rmrf@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 days ago

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.
