Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

There is something extremely creepy about her tone of voice and body language. One second it feels like she is trying to convince you that she is genuine but she tries too hard which immediately make you think she is faking it. All of a sudden she sounds angry in a very serious way which makes me think she is a psychopath and she about to stab me in the neck with an ice pick. My immediate instinctive reaction is to stop the video. Last time I was this creeped out was watching Anthony Hopkins' performance in Silence of the Lamb. Of course that was just really good acting of a fictional character and this is a real life person which makes it even more disturbing.
And through the whole thing she's using her submissive wife voice https://jesspiper.substack.com/p/the-fundie-baby-voice
It sounded like she was out of breath and being held at gun point lmao. Fellas this is like the end game of don't stick your dick in crazy.
I bet this one is a total nut in the sack, but given my anecdotal experiences - it's never worth it. Definite bunny boiler vibes...I get the same vibes from Boebert, BTW. The fact that she was having a grope sesh in public was probably the least surprising Boebert news, ever.
It legit looked like something Vaught made to defend Homelander in The Boys. It was laughably bad.
It was so disturbing I couldn’t physically make myself watch it, and I’m a news junkie obsessed with this crap.
I had to turn it off halfway through. My kid was playing switch and said Daddy, what's she talking about? And I had to turn it off out of fear that he would take any of it at face value. I told him she was lying to try to get votes and turned it off.
Show me your “There is no war in Ba Sing Se!” face.
My favorite commentary:

I had the same feeling watching it, and there's a reason for it.
Filming the movie, Anthony Hopkins and the director and editor collaborated around making sure he basically never fucking blinks on camera. It causes a very unsettling effect when there's long periods of not blinking.
Katie seems to have inadvertently adopted the same technique. I'll take Marco Rubio grabbing water like a man dying in the desert any day over this creepy Stepford wives thing.
