...lewdly threatening him with a lie detector test.
Lewdly? I wouldn't call threatening to, hook someone up to a "fucking" polygraph, lewd. I mean, unless they have some really freaky polygraphs at the pentagon made for really hardcore games of Truth of Dare.
Yeah, I spotted that, too. It was stupid, but "lewd?" Who writes this stuff? Is it ALL AI these days?
It's lewd because it's dirty, in the sense that it has no scientific basis whatsoever.
What could be dirtier than the intelligence head threatening staff with a fake test that can be easily doctored to portrait whatever you want about them?
It isn't wrong, it's just the less common usage in 2025 which is why it reeks of AI.
I'm arguing for no huffpo links. this is another reason why.
It's a fucking polygraph. They hook you up, then you have to get it on. For the baseline.
You’ve clearly never been treated to a polygraph by me. It’s a sensual polygraph experience and baby girl, you’ll be telling me everything like the orca I tend to at the San Antonio SeaWorld.
I got lectured about not using the sarcasm tag the other day. So, /completely serious

baby girl
*Looks down at beard and moobs, shrugs*
Okay, let's do this. I think I can role-play an orca. Sounds fun.
"lewd" describes behavior, speech, or material that is sexually crude, obscene, or indecent. It works perfectly here unless you have online porn brain, then it sticks out.
my god it really is like the Nazi high command eating each other because "fuck that guy and his ambitions, I've got my own"
this would be positively hilarious to watch if I weren't American, neurodivergent, and gay.
Did somebody point out it was probably him and his signal buddies?
They're just following his lead
My favorite part is we are hearing about this through another leak. 🤣
…that he himself was the source of.
The thing I hate most about conservatives is their obsession with pseudo science.
Hey asshole! If a polygraph actually worked everyone would be hooked up to one during court hearings or major business deals. Byt they'd rather believe there is this magic technology that we don't use because it wouldn't be fair or some other imagined bullshit.
A red flag of undereducated people in authority over anything is if they think polygraphs indicate anything about whether someone is lying. It's entirely fraudulent pseudo-science.
Gosh he seemed so competent and professional though.
is the Russian asset mad that he sucks at his job?
Cut him some slack, he's doing as well as can be expected given his blood alcohol content.
A little hair of the dog'll fix him right up.
Nice job Mr. WhiskeyLeaks.
Was the chair empty?
Yes, but it really hurt her feelings.
