I don't know a single federal agent who has not smoked pot. The only thing I can think of that would even remotely lead to this is if they had lied about it earlier. For example: In an earlier interrogation/questionaire they said they had never smoked pot, and then later said that they had. There's no leeway for any lie, no matter how small, when obtaining a security clearance. Like, you can be denied a clearance for not paying your bills on time. spacetoaster has issued a correction as of 04:15 on Mar 21, 2021 |

I think the point was that American media was able to convince lots of people that there was a legitimate reason to going to war in Iraq, so you shouldn't assume that you're immune to propaganda regarding Xinjiang because they're certainly lying about that too and yet saying so gets you tagged as a genocide denier https://twitter.com/jacob__posts/status/1372973532141948930?s=19

I was 19, and there was a schoolwide walkout for a protest rally in the quad. I was 75% sure the WMDs claim was bullshit. Then they let the college Republican head get up and voice his dissent. He was, I poo poo you not, a Tucker Carlson cosplayer. That's when I became 1 million percent certain that the WMD claims were bullshit.

That's when I became 1 million percent certain that the WMD claims were bullshit. I was pretty libpilled at this time in my life and bought the WMD claim but still thought the war was a terrible idea. We didn't invade Iraq after gulf war 1 because it would have been a decade+ long waste of money and lives according to Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney, and we had secured Kuwait's position so what would an occupation actually gain anyone, and yet somehow invading them when they hadn't done anything like invade a neighboring country but when they had biological weapons was a good idea according to *checks notes* Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld? And where the gently caress was Bin Laden? Not in Iraq that's for sure. Anyway later I just soured more from there, came to realize the entire war on terror premise was a farce in total along with the buildup of the national security apparatus that it enabled, but there were a ton of good reasons to oppose the war even if you bought some or all of the lies, and I think that's equally as true for the drumbeating against China right now.
