• Body Language

    From Aaron Thomas@1:275/99 to Libs on Wednesday, October 13, 2021 18:01:51
    Why is it that you guys didn't read Joe's body language all throughout his campaign? He gave several indicators of himself being full of it. We had ample historical evidence of him being a poor choice in any leadership capacity.
    He's more unattentive than any president since Bush, and America needs his attention right now.

    If you guys learn the art of body language, you'll soon be able to detect scumbaggery way better than ever before, and then you will have a better idea of who to vote for:

    The first step in understanding body language is to be self-aware, and

    Get real. That sounds like you're saying "mine's bigger than yours."

    You guys didn't read Trump's body language. The media tricked you into believing things about Trump that weren't true, just so they could get access to our money. It worked.

    Lefties can read body language on a lower level. "Me no like Trump because Trump make Jimmy Kimmel angry."

    But they can't read high-level body language, like "I totally took money from China but my supporters are dumb enough to unsee that."

    And how do you know that your "news" sources aren't doing that to you, instead?

    The media can't lie to me about Trump's body language. His body language spoke for itself. He was being honest about everything, except about his tax
    returns. His body language indicated dishonesty on that subject, but that
    would be about the only subject.

    Biden's body language is foul in nature. Everything his body says is BS. Most of what he says is even verifiably false. It's not because I have a preference for Republican officials; it's because Biden is too full of it for his BS to
    go undetected. He doesn't speak from the soul, because his soul is very cowardly. Joe is afraid of what becoming a billionaire *the honest way* entails.

    Same thing with Kamala, Bernie, and Cory Booker. They all have filthy body language and none of them were rooted in positivity. They all have crooked looks on their faces. The way they talked seemed fake too. Tulsi looked and sounded like an actress. Elizabeth Warren had a temper tantrum during the debate. Pete Buttigieg spoke with his hands way too much. Bernie had nothing but negativity to talk about. Amy Klobuchar spoke in a monotone voice. Joe
    had the devil in his voice and fakeness in his facial expressions. A Jimmy Baker kind of guy.

    It's a combination of the voices, the hand gestures, and the facial expressions. Trump spoke with near-perfect body language, but the body
    language combined with the spoken language of the media overshadowed him.

    Lefties can read body language on a lower level. "Me no like Trump because Trump make Jimmy Kimmel angry."

    What is the body language that represents this?

    When reporters talk about Trump, they talk in a tone that resembles a police officer knocking on someone's door to tell them that a loved one has been killed. That's part of body language. At the end of the day, every day, they want you to go to bed with the thought that "Trump has caused much suffering!"

    But where the hell is that sufferring exactly? For many people, emotion is stronger than their sense of logic.

    Jen Psaki's body language says this: "If you have a problem with Joe, then you shouldn't have elected him. And don't ask me questions because I hate questions." She's not approachable. She has a constant look of horror on her face. For some reason, Trump's spokespersons didn't look horrified.

    There's more too it, these are just things that I could point out quickly and easily. Seriously, try reading a book on body language. See if you can develop the BS detector that you were born without. I think you can do it!

    That's an interesting, if mistaken, take.

    The two have different speaking styles, and use gestures differently. Your theory that you can use body language as a lie detector completely fell apart when you claimed that everything Trump said was true except when he talked about his tax returns.

    Politifact is Democrat-centered. Surely you noticed that at some point?

    "The person that shot Ashli Babbitt boom right through the head just boom there was no reason for that."

    False?

    But she was unarmed. An unarmed white woman, shot dead by police. Just for protesting. Protesting even less violently than the summer of 2020 Biden goons.

    Body language speaks louder than Politifact.

    Here's where I stopped reading their garbage in that article:

    "Do not be distracted by all this going on in Afghanistan. Always keep one eye on Washington D.C. A magician always distracts his audience."

    False?

    What the hell is false about that? They just call it "False" because
    Trump was using anti-Biden speech. No explanation needed for brainwashed lefties.

    Proof of it being "True" is right here in this thread: Politifact is distracting you with an enormous pile of garbage, stacked so high, that the size of it alone satisfied you, despite the content being complete crap.

    I read Trump's body language as "I'm your big brother and I care about you."

    All I see of him is a giant blob of fat.

    It's hard enough to see his tiny hands, much less his miniature
    fingers. And that's on a giant size television set, in HD. And I
    wouldn't dare get close to him, as he is probably infected with
    covid not even realizing he is sick.

    she doesn't want to accidentally admit the obvious: that the president is a self-centered sell out who has no legal obligation to lift a finger for this country.

    The president's press secretary has to present the administration's
    point of view when informing the press and/or answering questions.

    Just like the president's secretary of state (Colin Powell) did
    when lying to the United Nations about Saddam Hussein's mythical
    WMD's.

    Lefties can read body language on a lower level. "Me no like Trump because Trump make Jimmy Kimmel angry."

    But they can't read high-level body language, like "I totally took money from China but my supporters are dumb enough to unsee that."

    They are also dumb enough to unsee "I was out in public without a mask, violating my own mandate," and "My press secretary and VP both broke the
    law by endorsing a candidate in a way which is not legal (in a church or
    during a press conference on behalf of the administration)."

    Not only are they dumb enough to unsee it, they will probably be in here
    being dumb enough to totally defend it.

    It's not illegal to endorse a candidate in a church, provided the person
    doing the endorsing is not the leader of, or representative of, the church.

    As far as endorsing a candidate during a press conference, to what ar you referring?

    Also, Kellyanne Conway was the *queen* of Hatch Act violators, but you've already unseen that, haven't you?

    Also, Kellyanne Conway was the *queen* of Hatch Act violators, but you've already unseen that, haven't you?

    Psaki has made it a point to point out how much more ethical the Biden administration is than any other administration and, in particular, how it
    is in comparison to Trump's.

    So, because Conway did it would seem like a reason for Psaki not to do it, right? I would think it would be, if they were really trying to be
    ethical. Yet, part of her excuse has been the "Trump did it, too!" talking-point you are parroting.

    I honestly doubt they are trying to be ethical, or even more ethical than
    the previous administration.

    The Hatch Act specifically excludes the President and Vice-President. Whether Psaki, in her capacity as spokesperson for the President when sharing the President's views, shares that immunity is unclear.

    I honestly doubt they are trying to be ethical, or even more ethical than the previous administration.

    I think they are definitely trying to be ethical. However, following the
    rules puts Democrats at a severe disadvantage against Republicans who think nothing of breaking them. At some point, what's good for the goose is good
    for the gander.

    Hello Aaron,

    Just like the president's secretary of state (Colin Powell) did
    when lying to the United Nations about Saddam Hussein's mythical
    WMD's.

    You bring up interesting points at times. Perhaps he got a dirty dose of the
    vaccine for being such a money-waster through the eyes of the Democrats.

    Colin Powell was GWB's Secretary of State.
    Colin Powell spoke for the President at the United Nations,
    making unfounded claims about Saddam Hussein having WMDs.

    And then GWB chose to invade Iraq. For no apparent reason.

    IOW, for the first time in history, the USA was the aggressor.
    A war of choice, with the USA being the invader/conqueror.

    When Clinton lied, nobody died. When GWB lied, thousands died.

    The Hatch Act specifically excludes the President and Vice-President. Whether Psaki, in her capacity as spokesperson for the President when sharing the President's views, shares that immunity is unclear.

    It applies to a much larger group of people. It applies to most civil
    servants as well. When I worked for the government, the rules were
    clearly stated -- if you want to do politicing, do it on your own time
    and off of government facilities.

    It also bans endorsing or hawking commercial products. However, it does specifically exclude the President and Vice President from its scope.

    Most state governments have similar restrictions. Ours does.

    They are also dumb enough to unsee "I was out in public without a mask, violating my own mandate," and "My press secretary and VP both broke the law by endorsing a candidate in a way which is not legal (in a church or during a press conference on behalf of the administration)."

    I remember when Trump was beingn questioned about questionable stuff like
    that, he had an answer for people. We already know that Biden's not talking to us. That's pretty unpresidential. His press secretary is certainly not the person to answer questions about all of his destruction of our country in such a small amount of time.

    What do our liberal friends even get out of any of this? They never have an answer for that. There's no benefit to America for any of this liberal nonsense. I'm totally going to write a letter to my rep requesting
    impeachment, for various reasons. Democrats like impeachments so much, now it ought to be their turn - BIG TIME. Time for some serious convictions to take place, before it's too late.

    Now days we assassinate Afghan children with drones instead.

    I miss President Clinton. Those were the good old days. That was back when we were a democratic state. Remember democracy? Voting & all that? Good times.

    Biden regularly skipping out on questions, something Trump rarely did (and something I don't remember Obama doing, either), just adds more fuel to the speculation that he has some mental issue going on and/or he is not really
    the one in charge.

    Most press secretaries are going to stand up for the administration that employs them, and Psaki is no exception. It does seem like Psaki really
    stands for whatever it is they are trying to do. She does not seem any
    more likely to be convincing to someone who is a critic of the
    administration than any of Trump's secretaries but she is more convincing
    as far as appearing to herself agree with what she is saying. I never feel like she is saying something while she is questioning what she is saying.

    What do our liberal friends even get out of any of this? They never have an >answer for that. There's no benefit to America for any of this liberal >nonsense.

    Nothing like that will happen while the Democrats are in control of
    Congress. After the midterms it might be a different matter.

    Joe is a handy-man. An influence-for-hire. Guys like that can't be expected to answer questions, unless you're discussing prices.

    She has a perfect poker face.

    They have proven themselves unworthy of being on our payroll. Our presidents rule with an iron fist, so why pay these people to impeach good presidents & defend awful ones, while not even legislating anything?
