2/ In this tweet, Marjorie Taylor Greene is displaying a version of "Who farted?", i.e., When a child (or childish person) expels flatulence, they believe if they're the one who verbalizes an open question as to its origin, that they will be above suspicion.
3/ Marjorie Taylor Greene is attempting to distance herself as a suspect.
2/ B. If you have to label your ‘jokes’, they’re either not funny and/or Passive-Aggressive.
C. ‘Good day’ is an additional Passive-Aggressive tell in this 'complimentary close' context.
3/
D. “I wish no unpleasantries between us”, is NOT an apology. Although more subtle, in this context, it's also yet another signal of Passive-Aggressive thought-emotions.
E. If you have to tell some your actions are in ‘good taste’, they’re in poor taste.
1/ THREAD: Body Language Analysis No. 4629: This event was the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin. Hitler was watching a track and field race (one of the sprint events).
2/ While it's possible Hitler's movement was due to side effects from illicit drugs (he was absolutely an addict), it's much more likely this movement was him simply being psychologically involved in the race.
3/ People often behave similarly, i.e. — when they're watching a player *on 'their' team* trying to catch a ball/score a goal and they don't quite make it.
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…
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/ 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)
