Trump has a "tell" when he's lying and we just saw it

as he read the remarks about Charlottesville.

I first noticed this a few months ago, so I started paying closer attention when he's saying something he clearly doesn't want to, but feels pressured to.

The "tell": It's his breathing. He purses his lips and inhales sharply and audibly through his nose.

Watch the remarks again (if you can stomach it). Notice when that breathing oddity occurs. It's when he mentions the KKK and white supremacy.

Each of us on this site knows he didn't want to do what he just did. But the proof -- the physiological proof, proof that's undeniable to anyone who knows anything about the psychology of body language -- is right there for all to see.

He agrees with them. He stands with them.

And considering this came on Day Three after the violence, he has already provided the white supremacist Nazis with his approval. Now they'll just say he had to do this and that he's still with them. And they're right.

Jason Kessler, cowardly Nazi, comments on today's press conference...

Here he is talking to his followers on Periscope.

"The video of the press conference isn't worth posting. I might give it to my lawyers." Haha. We've seen it, Nazi Kessler, we've seen it.

EDIT: He also said there were no Charlottesville police officers to separate him from the "violent mob," as he calls it. Which is bullshit. He was escorted out by police. We saw that, too, Nazi scum, when you ran away with your tail between your legs.

Kim responds: North Korea seriously considering strike on Guam: Reports, citing state media

North Korea said on Wednesday it is "carefully examining" a plan to strike the U.S. Pacific territory of Guam with missiles, just hours after U.S. President Donald Trump told the North that any threat to the United States would be met with "fire and fury".

A spokesman for the Korean People's Army, in a statement carried by the North's state-run KCNA news agency, said the strike plan will be "put into practice in a multi-current and consecutive way any moment" once leader Kim Jong Un makes a decision.

A spokesman for North Korea's military told KCNA that it would carry out a pre-emptive operation if there were signs of U.S. provocation.
