And that’s basically it!
He could also use a plethysmograph to see which male staff likes him.
NB: Polygraphs are a hilarious pseudo-science just slightly above palm reading and astrology.
Lol. I've lied during lie detector tests and still passed.
Hoping our FBI officials are capable of doing the same.
Of course, "lie detectors" are bunk.
It'd be funnier if they passed while being as sarcastic as possible just to mess with him
Damn dude that's some serious trump energy
Real leaders don't need to be paranoid about what their underlings think about them. Fascism is more fragile than it appears.
True. And real leaders don't want to lead.
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.
“[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.”
Fear and greed. Who is that quote by? It's great.
Believe it or not, it’s from the Star Wars tv series “Andor” of all places. That show was really too good for its source material.
Dudes a meth head
Why do none of these clowns know polygraphs don't work
Comparing them to clowns is an insult to clowns.
🤡 We demand to be taken seriously.
These LIARS are being mean about me!

Wouldn't FBI agents be able to pass a "lie detector" test? Has anyone told Kash they aren't actual lie detectors?
Polygraphs have always been close to useless even for normal people. Anyone being interrogated isnyoing to be nervous and likely set them off.
However, you have to be slighlty, remotely intelligent to understand that nuance. And that is not an affliction any Trump cabinet appointee has.
Polygraphs provide authoritarians the excuse to get rid of people.
The same way that scientology uses auditing. The point is to instil fear and doubt into whomever you're measuring so that you can manipulate them.
So, they are extremely useful.
Once again, this isn’t a nottheonion because it’s completely plausible when I read the headline. I think this onion concept may by dead because real life is so fucking dumb
A more accurate testing would be to hold his portrait and look for visible signs of disgust
I'm short, but my cock is huge! Compared to my pinky 😩
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
