MAGA: The real snowflakes
The “original” snowflakes. “I can’t drink from the same water fountain as a colored person!” Type of people.
government of fragile masculinities
So wait... It's not Tiny Dick Syndrome?
Is polygraph test reliable ? Doesn't it fall under pseudoscience ?
It is not reliable at all, and yes, it is widely considered to be psuedoscience. Yes, this is a batshit insane scenario
Yes, morons still believe in it, yes, he is a moron.
That and just looking for an excuse.
You can even train to beat them, so it’s definitely not a reliable method.
And, I would assume, if anyone had done that training it would be FBI agents.
What a dork-ass loser.
Cops and pseudoscience go together like chocolate and peanut butter.
For more examples, see "bite mark analysis," "911 call analysis," "blood spatter analysis," roadside drug testing with known false-positives, and even fingerprints (once the gold standard) have up to a 20% error rate.
And that's not even getting into how their methodology is exactly backwards: they have a claim that they set out to prove, but do no work to disprove what they already believe.
but do no work to disprove what they already believe.
But that's the LAWYERS job /s
I don't know if it's true (let me know if I've been taken for a ride), but I've been told that you can make it look like you lie on a polygraph simply by contacting your anus and slowly unclenching while answering, throwing their analysis out the window.
Really puts the "anal" in analysis, if true.
And you thought J. Edgar Hoover was paranoid.
Is he short? Seems like a short kinda guy
5’9”, but I can see that Short Height Indicator Type all over him, some people call it being SHITty
Enforcing polygraph testing will invariably make people less trusting of you. There needs to specific reasons that target specific people.
At least he doesn't look paranoid...
literally a 30 rock episode
Yes I support the United States Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic 😏
And the ones behind the FBI director's back.
At this point, we're gonna end up have two "congress", two "supreme court", two "president". Two groups of people having their own definitions and interpretations of what "The Constitution" means.

Polygraph measures nervousness, not lies.
So innocent people fail them. And guilty people pass them.
All this does is make remaing people hate him
People who use lie detectors as a machine they think can detect lies are stupid.
The real purpose of the lie detector is to trick the suspect into thinking it can detect lies, to the point where they confess.
Ancient trick. The voodoo magic chicken. "This chicken can tell all lies from truth, and it says you are lying." Who doesn't believe in voodoo magic? So the thief, knowing the jig is up, confesses.
Real leaders don't need to be paranoid about what their underlings think about them. Fascism is more fragile than it appears.
“[Their] need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear.”
Real leaders would take the time to understand why someone doesn’t like them, do a little self reflection to see if it’s either a valid point or just a perception issue, and then work to fix the issue if there is one. If it’s just a person who just doesn’t like them but is good at their job, just ignore it. If they are truly not a good fit or just a bad actor who just thrives in negativity, then you either find a better fit for them or then you fire them.
I’m very much a pleaser type personality but if someone doesn’t like me for whatever reason, I don’t really sweat it if it doesn’t affect me personally. Most people like me but not everyone and that’s ok. This constant need to be surrounded by yes men and sycophants is just disturbing.
Good thing polygraphs are junk science that doesn't work literally at all.
Good thing the system already selects for people that can pass polygraphs without much issue.
It is also junk technology.
This is great news. This means they are think he is regarded.
I don't think so.
They're weeding out non-loyalists because the fascism is going to be ratcheted up tremendously, and for that to happen, they need people without a conscience. True believers.
What a bitch.
The fragilest of beings
should polygraph about his crazy eyes.
All these fascists are such little weeny piss babies.
And all the alpha bros look up to them, how embarrassing.
I've never seen such a clear-cut case of fucking crazy eyes in a "man:"
Damn dude that's some serious trump energy
Wouldn't FBI agents be able to pass a "lie detector" test? Has anyone told Kash they aren't actual lie detectors?
Lol. I've lied during lie detector tests and still passed.
Hoping our FBI officials are capable of doing the same.
It'd be funnier if they passed while being as sarcastic as possible just to mess with him
