studied Kavanaugh's wife because she looks more disappointed to me than sad, there is something about her look towards her husband that, to me, seems more of disgust and disappointment than support. Yes, she had a couple of times where she may have shown slight support, but the rest of the time not.

I may be seeing things that are not there, I do understand that, but that is why it would be great for someone who understands the psychology of body language to study her during the session today.

. . . . especially his mother. I can't imagine what this hystrionic wanna-be macho man is like when drunk and off-camera, and am imagining that he demands that his whole household live with a pile of hurtful secrets. That's how most dysfunctional, violent, patriarchal families roll. No matter what pain or truth lies within, the family name can never be tarnished.

She sees him a lot worse when he's drunk and I bet anything it's a nightly happening. You can take that to the bank.

If I had to guess, I’d say it was his sister. She looks like the mother and she’s between the wife and the mom. Just guessing tho.

for 30 years (to the day) my observation is, this man is a hard drinker. It shows in his face, and today it showed in his temper tantrum outburst. High functioning, but him loves his booze. He wants that seat SO BAD he can taste it. And his wife looks like she’s been there, done that before. Yes, I love the chorus of frowning faces behind him. This picture is everything!
