“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.



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.
The cruelty to immigrants makes everything else worthwhile to a lot of them. There’s also much enthusiasm for Hegseth’s bro-ification of the armed services. For wealthier supporters, the enablement of open corruption is a huge plus.
Anyone whose identity requires them to be Republican, but isn’t enthused about previous points, can fall back on the claim that Dems would be even worse and this is the lesser evil.
its pretty clear that being able to fuck livestock on a streetcorner and get away with it = winning. Good job republicans. Whenever I’ve heard “the south will rise again” this is exactly the sort of stuff I thought would happen. This and the elimination of womens rights and the legal enshrinement of racism.
They say the sky is green, the govt says it’s green. They say you are vermin, the govt says your vermin. They definitely love seeing you having to live beneath whatever they say. Costs be damned, they won.
Not a conservative, but I guess “them libs” being mad is worth it for them?
True, but they dont love being laughed at for being idiots. And this will 100% result in a lot of comedy at their expense. So GOP leadership must want this pretty badly. It could be related to this governments attempts to integrate government functions with the state of israel.
