“Ukraine is fighting the war NATO was built for in 1949: defending Europe against Soviet/Russian invasion. It's doing it single-handedly ... Why these weapons are still being preserved? What kind of war do you expect? The war is there.”

With ease the law now grants a deadly right,
To wield with haste what once was hidden plight.
Bump stocks, they say, for sport and thrill are made,
But cloak the means for massacre displayed.
In shadows thin, endorsements lie concealed,
A tool for bloodshed, now by law revealed.

You can't rationalize it away – Roberts, Thomas, Alito, Kavanaugh, Gorsuch, and Coney Barrett all side with mass-murderers.

Donald Trump visited the Capitol Hill Club today – but he never would have been there on the morning of January 6th 2021 – because he knew, in advance, that a pipe bomb had been placed against its back wall the prior evening.

1 of 24/  Body Language and Behavior Analysis No. 4748: Mike Johnson's, Michael Guest's, and Steve Scalise's Bizarre Troika Tell  – Nonverbal and Emotional Intelligence

2 of 24/  Earlier this week at the Republican House members weekly briefing, there was a suspicious simultaneous and overlapping triple body language tell displayed by Mike Guest, Mike Johnson, and Steve Scalise. 

This was NOT a coincidence.

3 of 24/  The unusual (almost choreographed in appearance) behavior occurred immediately after Mike Johnson said, "[lip smack], Ah, with that, I'll ahh, I'll take a few questions. [pause, pointing] Front row."

4 of 24/  All three men exhibit very similar, some of it, virtually identical body language simultaneously/near-simultaneity.

5 of 24/  Just prior to saying, "Front row", Johnson, tilts his head down and trying to look over his glasses, points forward and to his right with his dominant index finger.

6 of 24/  Side note: It’s infinitely wiser to use an open finger, palm-up gesture with all digits loosely (partially) extended. Index-finger pointing gestures are negatively-received across all human cultures.

7 of 24/  As he points to the journalist, Johnson looks immediately to *his* far right – both rotating his head and neck – augmented by an additional right-lateral gaze with his eyes.

8 of 24/  Why is Johnson momentarily (and immediately) looking away from the journalist, at whom he just pointed, and who's about to ask his question? – in this context, it’s highly suggestive of cognitive-emotional dissonance.

9 of 24/  Johnson then looks back at the journalist – and immediately displays a regret expression (suggesting foreknowledge). Again, this is prior to the question being asked.

10 of 24/  Johnson then begins to look down as he also displays a Tight Tongue Jut (indicative of Disdain, Repulsion, and Disgust).

Note: the journalist has not yet said anything but, "Ah, Mister Speaker ...".

11 of 24/  Johnson then pushes his glasses up touching his nose bridge of his glasses with his left index finger (Guest also touches his face, see below) as he continues to tilt his head downward (simultaneously with Reps. Scalise and Guest also tilt their heads down). 

12 of 24/ Moreover, not only do all three men bend their head/necks forward/down, they also all close their eyes as the journalist begins his question.

13 of 24/  Look carefully at Johnson's mouth. As he's pushing up his glasses, his jaw is clenched and thrusting forward (adrenaline surge) whilst he's also displaying an inward lip roll (suppression of strong emotion). 

Johnson is trying to suppress and hide his anger.

14 of 24/ Johnson displays a disgust just a second later. 

15 of 24/ Simultaneous with Johnson's glasses adjustment, Michael Guest displays three consecutive facial touches (anxiety, disbelief) – first his right eyebrow while covering much of the right half of his face.

16 of 24/ Congressman Guest, then covers most of his lower face as he rubs his nose (anxiety, disbelief). Simultaneously, Scalise, brushes his right upper chest/shoulder region with his left hand (self-preening).
