1/ If you look carefully at a small segment of this video, between 2:53:37 - 2:53:44, near the end of #JimJordan's testimony today, you'll see his right thumb exhibit a high frequency, low amplitude tremor.
#BodyLanguage #January6thCommittee

2/ This high frequency, low amplitude tremor could be caused by:

• A medical condition
• A Pharmaceutical side effect
• Behavioral (Body Language secondary to anxiety)

#BodyLanguageExpert #BodyLanguage #January6thCommittee ImageImage
3/ From a #BodyLanguage/Behavioral standpoint, this is crucial, because it occurs simultaneous with #JimJordan's defense of #MarkMeadows.
4/ It's not possible to differentiate the etiology of #JimJordan's tremor in these few seconds, but it is noteworthy and will be important to watch.

#BodyLanguageExpert #BodyLanguage #January6thCommittee

Ω
Addendum: His left thumb moves with a much lower frequency but higher amplitude pattern (compared to his right thumb) — therefore, it's much easier to see his left thumb move. This left thumb movement is not a 'tremor', it's simply movement secondary anxiety.

1/ THREAD: Body Language Analysis No. 4628: Marjorie Taylor Greene's response to Jim Banks testimony regarding past bombing and domestic terrorism.
c-span.org/video/?c499200…

#BodyLanguageExpert #BodyLanguage #EmotionalIntelligence #MarjorieTaylorGreene #January6thCommission
2/ In the above short video, Rep. Jim Banks (R-03) is speaking regarding a past event (1983) of domestic terrorism. Banks's statement here was given on December 14, 2021 in the U.S. House Chamber during the House Select Committee Hearings regarding the January 6th Attack.
3/ Banks's behavior here demonstrates two examples of 'Whataboutism' (a common method of attempting to discredit another person/group by accusing them of hypocrisy). Banks does this in an effort to distance Republicans from any involvement in the January 6th Attack.

1/ THREAD: #JimJordan is seen during his #Jan6thCommittee testimony today displaying a Loose Tongue Jut — indicative of the thought-emotions of:

• "I messed up"
• "Ive been caught"
• "I've done/said a stupid thing"
• "I'm about to do/say a stupid thing"

#BodyLanguageExpert Image
2/ A Loose Tongue Jut is highly correlative with Deception.

#BodyLanguage #BodyLanguageExpert
3/ Be careful to not confuse a Loose Tongue Jut with either a Tight Tongue Jut or a Wide Open Tongue Jut (each of which indicate entirely different thought-emotions).

1/ THREAD: Body Language Analysis No. 4627 (Response to query): "When a man stares at me I stare right back. I hold the stare until they look away. They get upset. Someone explain this interaction scientifically." #BodyLanguageExpert #BodyLanguage #EmotionalIntelligence
2/ Short Answer: They're probably attracted to you, but they're quickly intimidated by your non-look away, the strength it implies, and your non-intimidation.
3/ In their worldview, women are supposed to acquiesce and look away in this context. But you don't. They don't know how to interpret your response.

1/ THREAD: Whenever you come across anyone who seems like they're character-acting their lives (or chunks of it), they probably are. There's a good chance they'r a sociopath-psychopath (APD), Narcissist, or Histrionic Personality Disorder.

#EmotionalIntelligence #BodyLanguage
2/ Some examples of this behavior in public life include:

• Ted Cruz
• Mike Pence
• Jacob Rees-Mogg
• Kyrsten Sinema
• Scott Morrison
• Damn near everyone on Trump's cabinet
3/ These people really give you the feeling they're acting — B grade acting, yes — almost satirical acting — hyperbolic (think melodramatic child-actor, only in this case, as adults).

1/ THREAD: Body Language Analysis No. 4626: Spiderman, Zendaya, Tom Holland, and Height Differential between partners:

#BodyLanguageExpert #BodyLanguage #Zendaya #TomHolland
2/They've been a couple for a while now, but some people are still making a kerfuffle about the height difference between @Zendaya and @TomHolland1996.
3/ The two A-list actors co-star in "Spider-man: No Way Home". Zendaya's height is listed as 180.3 cm (5'11"), (although some report a bit shorter), while Holland's is 172.7 cm (5'8").

1/ THREAD: Body Language Analysis No. 4625: Senator Ted Cruz displays contradictory and disrespectful #BodyLanguage while observing #BobDole Lying in State at the Capitol Rotunda. #BodyLanguageExpert
2/ Cruz's head is bowed. And although we cannot see his hands, we can infer their positions. They're configured in a fig leaf/modified fig leaf. While this is a proper head and hand position at a funeral — his feet are spread too far apart.
3/ Cruz's feet should be much closer together — touching or almost touching. His feet are 'at ease', but his feet should 'at attention'. #BodyLanguageExpert
