1/ THREAD: Body Language Analysis No. 4483: Donald Trump and Ken Paxton — the cult-worshiped and the sycophant. Earlier today, @KenPaxtonTX tweeted this image of him and Donald Trump prior to attending CPAC

2/ Paxton has long-standing weakness on the right side of his face. Taking this into account, his smile is sincere (he's experiencing true joy-happiness) being with/posing with Trump.
3/ Note Trump's facial expression, however. His smile is NOT sincere. One tell-tale sign of a feigned smile is recruitment of the neck muscles (platysma and sternocleidomastoids). Trump's neck muscles are significantly contracted. Trump is NOT happy — his smile is poorly faked.
4/ Trump's jaw is also protruding outward/forward. During a sincere smile, the jaw is retracted.
5/ The corners of Trump's mouth are contracted more laterally (out to the sides) and not as much upward.
6/ This dynamic displays some of his *lower* teeth, which, with the exception of certain camera/viewing angles, a head tilt, or accompanying laughter, should not be exposed in a sincere smile.
7/ Now contrast each man's thumb. Paxton's thumb is fully extended upward, whereas Trump's Thumb is primarily extended only after the distal joint. Trump's thumbs-up gesture is not fully committed. This partial endorsement is like leaning into a hug.
8/ Even the angle of each man's forearm tells a story — Paxton's forearm and wrist are elevated, whilst Trump's forearm is significantly tilted downward (à la, "Sure, I'll [guess I'll] kiss you, but you'll only get a peck on the cheek").
9/ While, of course, not body language tells, the multiple bandaids on Trump's Thumb, finger, and forearm are also medically noteworthy.
10/ Moreover, note the relative orientation of each man's lower limbs. Paxton's legs and hips are rotated toward Trump, whereas, Trump's hips and legs are not biased toward Paxton, but toward the camera.
11/ We orient our hips, lower limbs, and feet at people to whom we respect, admire, and/or have an attraction toward.

Trump is not bonding with Paxton, but Paxton wants to bond with Trump.
12/ Paxton is even leaning into Trump's intimate space — with Paxton's abdomen and chest in contact with Trump's left arm.
13/ SUMMARY: Donald Trump is using Ken Paxton. Trump is not happy to be with Paxton. Trump is feigning camaraderie. Paxton, in contrast, is happy and fully indoctrinated.

1/ THREAD: What does the #BodyLanguage of @HawleyMO, @tedcruz, and @NikkiHaley, @GOPLeader (Kevin McCarthy) all have in common?

#BodyLanguageExpert
2/ When assessing for Insincerity (Chronic Lying) as an overall personality trait (not just lying in a single moment) what is the most important #BodyLanguage sign?
3/ The answer is the same for both of these two questions: When a person is displaying an elevated forehead contraction *too frequently* or doing so *out of context*.

1/ THREAD: Donald Trump will once again be Impeached by the House of Representatives. However, in order for the President to be *Convicted and Removed* by the US Senate, a vote of at least "two-thirds of the Members present" is required.

Note the crucial word, "present".
2/ If the Republican senators don't have the ethics and the courage to go on record and convict and remove Donald Trump from the Presidency, they can simply leave the Senate Chamber and the denominator in this two-thirds equation is lowered.
3/ Allowing for the swearing-in of @ossoff and @ReverendWarnock, if 25 of the 50 Republican senators *would simply leave the room*, two-thirds maths becomes achieved if the 50 Dems vote for conviction and removal and the 25 remaining Republicans vote against it.

1/ THREAD: This is @HawleyMO's current profile pic at the top of his Wikipedia page. He can place any photo on this page he chooses. And no, this is not 'just the way he smiles' — this image shows #JoshHawley with a classic Contempt expression.

#BodyLanguage #BodyLanguageExpert Image
2/ Contempt is a clear and caustic tell that a person views him/herself as superior to another individual group — that they think of that person/group as beneath them.

#BodyLanguage #BodyLanguageExpert
3/ Contempt (along with Disgust) were the two most common emotional displays Nazi captors displayed toward their prisoners in Auschwitz, Buchenwald, Dachau, and the many other concentration camps during WWII.

1/ THREAD: On Sept. 11, 2011, 2977 Americans were killed by terrorists on American Soil. The United States retaliated with two Wars — one of which is still ongoing (the longest war in American history).
2/ Today alone, 3243 Americans were killed by COVID. To date, a total of 296,698 Americans have died. At least 75% (some estimates are higher than 90%) of these deaths were preventable if scientifically-medically sound approaches had been undertaken and practiced.
3/ Donald Trump and the Republicans are to blame for the vast majority of these deaths and long-term complications. Moreover, the secondary recession has been profoundly severe.

1/ THREAD: Hey Matthew McConaughey, "aggressively centric" is not the same as striving for objectivity. To some people and other casual observers, it may seem so, but these two viewpoints are not even in the same Universe.
2/ If one insists on their political ideology existing at some rough midpoint in what is currently America, you're playing the same game that many MSM organizations are playing. Being neutral in a field of ethics, morality, 'truth', & humanity does not make you wise or zen-like.
3/ And if you're as emersed in World culture as you claim to be, you should have known decades ago that what is politically "liberal" in the United States is centric in most other countries.
