Choking back impulsive urges

"Sneering displeasure and/or self-pity"

Re: the long list of BHO's "tells" — I've seen commenters say they'd really like to play poker with him!

Apparently, he's a fair actor for some of the people some of the time, but brief expressions and body language say a lot. When he is caught off-guard or is challenged, he looks down, and, usually, to his left. He appears not just to be recalling the "proper" propaganda to regurgitate, but choking back impulsive urges, frequently revealed in his face just before he looks down. I've slo-mo'd and freeze-framed some instances of these moments. If I had more patience to plow through vids of the guy, I might try to do videos showcasing some of these, but... life's short! And, they're awfully subtle.

I may, however, go write some lyrics incorporating "urge," "surge," and "regurgitate."
