FBI director Kash Patel claimed to US senators that the removal of a bar on hiring people who had engaged in bestiality was aimed at protecting sexual assault survivors.

“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.

    We are living in the stupidest timeline.

    Careful, there’s a 50/50 chance that every time somebody says that, the stupidest timeline gets stupider.

    Maybe I shouldn’t have quoted it.

      Nah, it’s the most corrupt & greedy timeline…maybe.

      The stupid people in charge are a feature, not a bug.
