Lyin' Ryan drank from that stupid glass 24 times during Biden's answers. What? ...was he drowning himself in despair or just dehydrated?

(1,484 posts).....that behavior is indicative of someone who is very anxious to the point of being hyper. If you are trying to preserve a relationship and you see that happening, it is a signal that it is time to back off. In this case, of course it was a sign to keep it up and see if it causes your opponent to fatally stumble.

It happens to most of us when we're nervous and/or anxious. The mouth goes dry; there is a sense that the throat is tightening. A lot of us experienced this sensation in school on exam days, when we looked at the test questions and realized we were fucked.
I'll give Ryan credit for one thing, this one time: He's astute enough to have realized, very early in the game, that he was going to get his ass kicked.
And he did.

Between them, Rmoney and Ryan don't share an ounce of integrity or compassion.
I have to reiterate that I am a peaceable person, but I so wanted to pie that smug jerk right in the puss. Mr."I got mine (SS benefits) but you're on your own".
Oh, puke.
Friends of mine died because of creatures like him. Not that it bothers him any.
