The narrator said he looks defiant, but I just see defeat. He looks like he’s carrying a heavy weight on his shoulders. I guess he was defiant in his behavior though. I just wish he’d go away. I’ve never been so sick of anyone in my entire life. ---

It looks to me like my mom was right. “If you keep making that funny face it will stick that way.” Throughout that video there isn’t the slightest movement in the expression. It was as though he was wearing a Halloween mask. I would describe the expression as grumpy. ---

> [@Buck\_Godot](#): > > It looks to me like my mom was right. “If you keep making that funny face it will stick that way.” One of the broadcasters that was on the courthouse steps reading notes handed to them from the people inside said pretty much the same thing. Something along the lines of “he’s spent the entire time with his lips pursed, making that face he’s become known for”. Edit: “He’s sitting back in this chair, we’re told, just pursing his lips in that sort of classic Trump smile” ---

Why is this in the Stupid Republican thread rather than the Stupid Mo------ucker thread? According to this [article](https://abcnews.go.com/US/indiana-woman-allegedly-crashes-purpose-thought-jewish-school/story?id=104663088) she claims kinship with Palistinians and I imagine the overlap between them an Republicans is next to zero. > Almaghtheh allegedly told an officer at the time of her arrest that she had been watching the news and “couldn’t breathe anymore,” and “referenced her people back in Palestine,” according to a statement provided to ABC News by the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department (IMPD). ---
