The thing is, is that the reasoning is sound. If someone was forced into bestiality because they were a victim of trafficking or something they shouldn’t be disqualified from working somewhere.
But voluntary bestiality should just be a felony, and then the fbi should not hire convicted felons rather than there being an entire senate hearing to discuss the nuances of bestiality in relation to FBI employment when there’s 1000 more pressing issues these fucks should be talking about.

So 2 things, first if someone was trafficked, it could be very likely that the perpetrator has photos/videos of the act of being rated by an animal. That is some very powerful blackmail and also quite likely to send that agent into a mental break from the trauma.
Secondly cashapp patel said that the animal would also not be disqualified which my mind immediately goes to animals specifically trained to rape, implying that the fbi could be training animals for that exact purpose.

The FBI sure likes borrowing a lot of techniques from IDF like all the police…
Is their stated reasoning their real reason or is this a media circus to distract from something worse? Namely, is the policy change about animal abuse in general and we’re focusing on this when the policy change is actually intending to allow sociopaths into the FBI?
I recognize the possibility of a tin foil hat, but bear with me: what if they don’t want to talk about those 1000 more pressing issues? What if this is just an interesting enough distraction to get to the weekend and then they count on people being busy and then kinda just forgetting shit by Monday? Every question about this is taking the place of what might otherwise be a question about the trump epstein files. Or Iran. Or Chinese dominance. Or the collapsing economy. Or people getting sick. Or thing after thing after thing. There are zero wins, but we can’t help but talk about the FBI being open to hiring horse fuckers or whatever because that’s the hot new story.
I mean I basically just assume that’s the whole point of 90% of politics at this point is to put on theatre that keeps people arguing about useless topics so that the systems to suck them dry more efficiently and further increase the class divide are strengthened without anyone paying attention

The bar for being hired by the FBI is higher than criminal conviction, though (I hope?).

During a meeting, former U.S. President John F. Kennedy seemingly asked Joseph Luns, the then Dutch Minister of Foreign Affairs, about his hobbies, and the subsequent conversation went like this:
“I fok horses.”
“Pardon?”
“Yes, paarden!”

If you’re wondering like I did, I looked it up and “Ik fok paarden” means “I breed horses”.
Which says nothing about, uh, the level of personal involvement on the part of the breeder, of course. 😉

You’re literally making the same “joke” as the old “har har Chinese people name their kid by throwing a fork down the stairs. Ching Ching Chong ping pong.”
Be better.

I guess I don’t understand how the joke is the same. Is “Ching Ching Chong ping pong” the Mandarin translation of “crypto scammer,” or “nominative determinism,” or “the universe is too on-the-nose”?

While there are English versions of the joke, like a prolific fucker being named Dick Hammer, it just dovetails with the racist jokes that are simply mocking a name because it’s foreign.

Does it, though? These jokes may superficially resemble each other solely because they involve non-white people, but one joke comes down to “all Chinese people be like,” while the other is about Kash Patel in particular. One is stereotyping an entire ethno-linguistic group, and the other is about the actions of one specific man. At a fundamental level, that’s very different, I think.

Racism isn’t based on anything rational.
Racists can laugh alongside members when a comedian makes joke referencing a shared culture. And the only way to differentiate between the appreciative and the mocking is the tone of the laughter. You may not have been making an insult, but that’s why it said it dovetails.
It seems you’re focused on the specifics of “insulting mockery of Chinese speech” being a broad insult when comparing it to your joke. I don’t think the other person was claiming they were exactly the same joke, but were in the same category. Although I could be wrong. “Literally” has unfortunately come to mean both what it means and “not literally, but used for heightening.”

No.
That’s his name.
He’s a grifter and a piece of shit.
I thought it was bad when it was just cash, but damn.

No, his name is Kashyap not Cash App. Laughing at foreign languages just makes you sound ignorant and untraveled, not clever.
There are plenty of actions and words from this fuckhead to make fun of. It’s not like there’s a lack of material to work with.

I’m gonna go ahead and continue to disagree with you. I’m amused that his name is so damn fitting to his bullshit existence. If his name were ::I am looking up the most popular baby name in [it doesn’t matter which country I pick because you’ll still be upset] for 2025:: Mahnoor, I’m aware it’s a girls’ name, and he shit himself in a manner similar to the president, then I would laugh at that. However, if his name were Ibrahim and he were, say, fucking animals, then I don’t think that there would be any amusement there.
It’s like if my name was Asshole and we were having this conversation in person, you would be like, “Yeah, fuck, this guy’s name is ridiculously accurate,” but if my name were Brian, you’d be like, “Man, Brian is an asshole.”

I believe he was in the Air Force, but I came here to say something similar…
Edit: Nevermind, he was an aerospace engineer who worked for Boeing.
