This is likely gonna appear in south america (the show not the continent), it’s basically a free goal.

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

Am I misreading the “victims of?” Did he say animals can apply to FBI now?
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.

Either that or they’re exceptionally desperate to make a distraction.
All of this shit is less believable than the oil crisis and the price of food.

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.

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.
Understanding this immediately as a European makes me realize I’m wayyy too chronically online. USA is the only reality TV show I need.

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.

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.
The 68’s movement, MLK, German unification come to mind. What they, however, had in common was that violence was on the table or at least a plausible development. Those in power just figured that gunning down citizens wouldn’t be in their best long term interest.

So are we putting Hasan Piker at like 3 or 4 then? And what about Michael Vick? If we’re talking about celebrities with dog stories.
