Why is it my favorite? Well, because your daddy Regan first fucked up by creating a shitty law, a law that broke a huge number of companies which he then used taxpayer money to bail out. The net loss after all asset sales was the final nominal cost of $124 billion to $132 billion funded purely by taxpayers.
When adjusted for inflation, the net economic destruction directly from the bailouts stands at roughly $300 billion to $390 billion.
If you extrapolate that up and imagine that money was not borrowed against the national debt, and assume about 5 % average interest over the 36 years, it comes down to about $700 B (on the lower end) smaller national debt.
This is the hero of libertarians and "best Republican president".
To paraphrase the old meme, if only these kids could read.
Like i said, Reagan's first 2 years in power were a disaster.

It's kind of like how some Republicans might feel pressured to have sex with furniture and other animate objects if Daddy Trump "strongly encourages" it, but there's also the occasional JD Vance who probably voluntarily chooses to fuck a couch.

They also have to be caught by law enforcement, and also not use the ‘it was under duress’ defence in the first place. Which I suppose is understandable if the traffickers in question are particularly nasty and intimidating

When I said "human" I should have said more precisely said "sex."
What is your question exactly? By "foreign" you mean can illegal immigrants join the FBI? To join the FBI you have to be a citizen. So illegally trafficked against own's will -> naturalized citizen is technically possible for an applicant.

The FBI director testified under oath in front of Congress there were such applicants. You on the other hand opened with huehue Republicans fuck animals. I'm inclined to think he's got a better handle on things.

They're also a subset of all the people who are trafficked. I can't diagnose what your point is supposed to be. Maybe you've assumed they could just allow trafficking victims to apply and that would cover everything, so specifying bestiality must be superfluous. And so it means Kash Patel is pro-bestiality (thanks for "going high" as the great HRC would say).
That's not it. The old guideline was no "Engagement in prostitution or bestiality." A trafficking victim can be forced into either so they removed that as an automatic disqualifier. It doesn't mean they are pro people who voluntarily rape animals any more than they are pro hookers and pimps and johns.

Seems a more humane policy all round. Just doesn’t really fit the tenor of various others instituted by this lot is all
I don’t wear hats, but if I did I’d probably eat one if the FBI are getting many applicants who were trafficked and forced to have sex with animals.

This simply isn't a serious concern. How many FBI applicants do you honestly think have been turned away because they were simultaneously a victim of human trafficking and an involuntarily committer of bestiality? That number has to be about as low as other Republican "concerns", like allllllllll those trans pro-athletes, and allllllllll those pilots who fly planes while wearing their furry costumes, and allllllllll those immigrants stealing and eating your pets.

It was an analogy to further demonstrate how "a person voluntarily does X" and "a person involuntarily does X" are both subsets of "a person does X", using a topic that's as equally absurd as Kash Patel's.

It’s a hard road when you support so many people guilty of it and your favorite of all is the guy named most in the report he promised to release on day one and is still blocking. Or supporting them in primaries against republicans without that “baggage “.
On of the things that Trump got right is that republicans don’t actually care about it, they just want their opponents in jail for it. The crime itself is not their concern.
Also, oBlades take on the bond market is hilarious. Shows what only taking in pro Trump news does to a person.

To paraphrase the old meme, if only these kids could read. Like i said, Reagan's first 2 years in power were a disaster.
Most of the structural crises mentioned above (Iran-Contra, the peak of the S&L failures, the Fairness Doctrine repeal) actually manifested in his second term (1985–1989) rather than his first two years.
The long term issues this created were going on for his whole presidency and still have catastrophic consequences now.
You can put your head in the sand, but your worldview, as I pointed out previously, lacks any internal consistency.

You can still say boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, and wife. Gender-neutral alternatives include significant other, spouse, and partner, and these terms are also used by straight and cis couples (not only by the LGBTQ+ community). Partner, in particular, has become a pretty popular label, because it's applicable for all sexes/genders and it works for all levels of commitment, regardless of marital status. You don't need to use that term if you don't want to, but it's currently doing a pretty decent job at being a universal indicator of the person you're in a relationship with. Sometimes, people might also use the term "partner" if they don't feel like oversharing specifics about their own relationship, or if they don't want to make assumptions about someone else's relationship.
