It would be interesting to hear what someone who's been around him has to say about this behavior. Is it, perhaps, his norm or is it a sign he's slipping more than one cog.

It was almost as if he was drunk, but I know they'd never allow any kind of testimony, if he was.

I can't even begin to imagine how he will act, if he actually does end up doing real time.

.... pulled this nasty Nazi Rethug shit forever and always walked away smirking and giggling his ass off.

This time he is getting nailed for his actions - he can not come to terms with that - and is coming unglued.

His time in the barrel has come,... Roger just wants to go to the local pub with his Nazi buds,.. drink beer,... smoke a few expensive cigars,... and brag his ass off about how he caused the libs to spill tears about his relentless and endless macho Fascist ploys.

Usually meth users have sores and marks on the skin, even on the face.

His last name is ironic, in this case.

with jobs and you would have never known unless you saw them when they were actively high(it eventually did destroy them, but they never had sores). I think the people with the sores do it constantly, from morning to night.

I purposefully don't watch videos of the creature, so thanks for pointing it out to me... interesting that he and goonyboy do the same grimace. From what I've read, it's caused by cocaine. Maybe they'll both overdose and do us all a favor.

The only other time I'd seen anything close was a few decades ago when my then-young sons watched wrestling. There was a guy (Macho Man, IIRC?) who did it all the time during interviews, but I thought it was just part of his posturing act.

If he has so little self control he might do anything violent, it would seem.

She voiced skepticism of defense claims of health problems as grounds for leniency. He may be just a bit drug addled and under stress the way that Trump is basically functional despite obvious personality disorder and disturbed behavior.
