When she leaves that position she is going to be so embarrassed when the kids in the future have to pull up the crap that came out of her mouth and the defense of the idiot in the white house she's just going to hang her head in shame because she sounds so moronish
Fuck that. It should be a felony with a minimum of 25 years to serve for any politician OR POLITICAL CANDIDATE to mislead the public about anything, whether through mistruths or the intentional leaving out information that would be germane to the subject being discussed. Tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth or sit your ass in prison.
it would be lovely to ask her how she feels knowing that the american public want to make it a felony to knowingly lie to them as press secretary. bet she would run crying from the building
She would not. She would double down and get pissy and make a bunch of false claims and spew endless bullshit. That's kind of the whole Republican go to.
I have only ever seen one single episode of that show and I liked it more than anyone I've ever met that has also seen that specific episode. it was the finale, I didn't think it was that bad.
Iirc they march her through the streets naked after cutting her hair short whilst the public yells shit at her and spits on her. Idr if they threw stuff at her or not
no she won't because she knows it won't happen. she knows that what american says on the internet doesn't translate into the real world because of how apathetic and beaten into submission they are. Or else you wouldn't have this much children killed by firearms, and an honest police force.
I’m running for the United States Senate and when elected, I will submit this bill. It will likely be stalled in committee and never brought to the floor for a vote.. but I will make the entire process public as fuck and make sure people know exactly who is holding “the anti-lie” bill up.
Cool. Can you also give some teeth to any of the laws meant to keep the executive branch in check? Laws aren't doing us any good when they can just ignore the courts.
She is a stuoid fucking cunt. Her only skills is sucking old man dick which is why she got married and fucked her way I to this admin. She is so unbelievably stupid. Her only retort to things is "actually *repeats lie*"
Make all Political positions require a legally binding Contract of Service, no bullshit oath. Term limits for everyone. Eliminate and make illegal all Lobbying and "donations" of any sort. And on and on and on...
Contempt of congress, handcuffs off to jail for 24 hours, $100K fine collectible immediately . Back the next day, lie again, week in jail, $200K fine etc. They'd sing like songbirds
Unfortunately polygraphs are not flawless lie detectors. You get lots of false positives and lots of false negatives, which is why they're not admissible as court evidence. In the end, they're about as reliable as guessing.
No just shock collors are attached to a button a human presses when she or anyone from the trump regime gets in front of a microphone and camera. They lie they get hit with the voltage of a taser live
On people who know how to dodge them, sure, but you can frequently see these people sweating over a question on live tv, pretty sure a polygraph works fine on them
It is a completely subjective reading of effectively random outputs. You can hook a houseplant up to a polygraph and the polygraph expert would not be able to tell the difference. Research was done on this, but instead of "researchers prove polygraphs are completely useless", the mass media chose to go with "researchers find that houseplants have feelings!"
You don’t get to put shock collars on public officials in the real world either. It’s my fantasy, and I can assume I have a working, perfectly accurate polygraph machine if I want to.
I say we use a fact checker with a button they push every time they hear a lie. I volunteer to operate the button. "Why did you push the button? She didn't say anything." " Her lips started moving."
They have freedom of speech too. The press doesn't have to report what they say, they do it for profit. They could research how it's a lie and inform the public, but they do it for profit
Closer to "The jews are responsible for our economic downturn", but replace jews with anyone the regime considers their enemy. Biden, trans people, LGBT+ people, women who want rights etc.
The problem with this press secretary isn't that they're spouting propaganda, because that's always what they do. The problem is that they're spouting lies and the propaganda is notably dangerous in ways that previous propaganda was not.
