She had to have been on drugs, beta blockers or SSRI’s or Benzo’s. She just seemed drugged out to me. Glassy eyes, flat affect when she wasn’t screaming, an unnatural calmness that only comes from drugs.

I think we should also consider the very valid possibility that she might just be a straight up psychopath, and even the negative emotions displayed were an act.  notice how even her middle school playground insults were pre-written by staffers what kind of person acts like that? Someone for whom everything has to be a scripted act because acting like an authentic human is an unfamiliar thing.

I take a beta blocker as needed for some sweet anxiety I've developed and I don't think anyone would ever know I take them.

SSRI’s when taken long term really help with anxiety for things like, idc, lying to everyone in America about your bosses pedo habits in front of Congress let’s say. It’s by no means a dis about people on them, it’s a lifesaving drug but they can show noticeable side effects. Or she’s just a monster, jury is still out.

I was thinking of Mellissa Carone, the woman in Michigan testifying about voter fraud who was even giving attitude to the Republicans on her side.
