MODERATORS
First of all:
- The creator of Wonder Woman, William Marston, created the systolic blood pressure test used on modern machines.
- Less than half of the states allow this type of evidence to be admitted in criminal trials.
- Polygraphs are considered highly unreliable.
You should never take a polygraph test.
Hegseth needs to be shit canned.
Narcissistic individuals become paranoid when they can't find a suitable excuse for their own failures. Because they can't admit fault, they must always externalize the cause. Something is at fault but it can't be them as avoiding fault is their most important article of psychological faith.
So, if their narcissistic coping skills are inadequate and can't construct a believable excuse, given the circumstance, they can't effectively point the finger. All that's left is the pathological, egotistical desire to point the finger away from themselves and when they can't point at anything specific? That manifests as paranoia. As they habitually dismiss their own fault, the only possibility is an unknown force that is attacking them by forcing them to experience being responsible for their own failures.
Trump and his entire administration is filled with these people. Their narcissism also makes them incompetent, so failures will continue to pile up, eventually threatening Trump himself. When Trump inevitably becomes paranoid, as there is nothing left to blame, he will use his authority to start attacking unrelated targets that he blames for his failures, hoping it will prevent the failures. But it won't. It will accelerate his failures and eventually lead to the end of him. He already blames the media, the democrats, the scientists, the public, foreign nations etc. for the failures of his leadership.
All because his ego is so malformed that he can't endure feeling responsibility for failures, while ironically seizing a position of immense responsibility, one he will inevitably fail at. His greatest failure will be his inability to endure failure.
A blatantly incompetent man suggesting an even more incompetent method of investigation. Republicans sure are fucking dumb.
What Is Alcohol-Induced Psychosis, Alex?
Has Hegseth considered that he maybe leaked it himself during a drunken signal chat with a newspaper reporter?
LOL, polygraphs are worse than useless.
More absolute stupidity from Peter Hegseth. polygraphs don't really mean much and they're not even admissible in a courtroom.
Member all those shows where polygraphs, or really any kind of tech that's advanced enough to be hard to figure out, are just called lie-detectors and treated as if they really do detect lies? Shows where the main character will poke themselves with a pin to 'trick' the polygraph, or some other kind of bullshit.
This is what your average lead brained alcoholic boomer accepts as true, because dey seen it on da teevee. A failed polygraph test is absolutely the kind of bullshit that his supporters would eat up as evidence.
That's what I'm saying. Pete Hegseth is a woefully unqualified moron.
lol at courtroom being something fascists care about
Courtrooms are the only things preventing fascism from taking hold right now in the USA.
Next up, his top psychic will tell him what to do.
it'll be like the scene in The Wire where they use a photocopier that prints "True" or "False" on a piece of paper
They are an intimidation tool so it seems he is using it appropriately
Why can't this public servant, a secretary, just do his job properly.
That would require him to read and understand what his job is. It would also require him to understand the training he should have received before getting a security clearance. It would also require that he understands that by signing his SF-86 he agreed to be subject to a lengthy stay in a federal prison for leaking information.
The problem is in the job title: secretary. The implication is that the incumbent is thus "able to keep a secret" or at rather, keep their mouth shut.
This idiot can't keep his mouth shut to save his life.
The only time his mouth is otherwise occupied is when Trump's Bump of a Lump is in it.
“The extraordinary thing is that lie detector tests are being threatened not to uncover potential anti-President Trump civil servants but to catch political appointees suspected of leaking classified or sensitive information,” a source in defense told the paper.
Sorry what? How is that extraordinary? The opposite, which seems like the sources preferred suggestion, seems way worse?! Loyalty tests are not justified by anything, leaking classified information could at least be a crime providing some justification.
Leaking classified information should not be a crime because the government should not be allowed to keep secrets from the sole source of its power.
Well, we do know of several political appointees who leaked classified information. Didn't even need a polygraph; they just told a journalist.
Waiting for the supposed 'deep state/illuminati' to 'take care' of this guy.
Install a mirror in his office. He’ll find the leaker right away.
Either that or he'll get shitfaced and try to fight himself.
"Who the fffuch're yoo, Bro?! Thish ish MY fucheen offish, BRO!"
chronic alcoholism does cause paranoia.
Also possibly leaking. Pun intended.
might not work on drunks.
Talks in his sleep during his naps.
Lmao
Hegseth is starting to see elusive leakers in his nightmares.
Best news I've heard all week. I hope this guy also dreams his teeth are falling out.
Teeth falling out is a vanity dream, common among people who worry a LOT about their looks. Actors, models, government officials who need a makeup studio at the Pentagon, etc.
Or having braces. Everyone I know who got them had that dream at least once : you dream you finaly get to remove them and the second you do so your teeth start falling out.
What if they turn into Legos after they fall out of your mouth and you build an impossible replica of the Taj Mahal out of them?
I've always wanted to see the Taj Molar.
Thanks I spat out my coffee
