10 ways to spot a LIAR
Published:
1. A change in their voice
According to Gregg McCrary, a retired FBI criminal profiler, a person’s voice or mannerisms of speaking may change when they tell a lie, as reported on the Real Simple website. He first takes the strategy of identifying a person’s regular speech patterns and mannerisms by asking typical, easy questions, such as what their name is or where they live. This allows him to see any changes in speaking or mannerisms when he asks more challenging, interrogative questions.

2. They may try and be still
It seems weird, but being perfectly still or being very still may be an indicator that a person is not telling the truth. As Reader’s Digest points out, such a person may keep their movements minimized or even pull their arms and legs in toward their body, mostly as a result of being tense or nervous. Think about it – when things are normal, people are generally more relaxed and may exhibit more fluidity and movement in their body, but when something is awry, including having to tell a white lib or a huge fib, they may become stiff or rigid in body movement.

3. Their bodily expressions may not match what they are saying out loud
Ever seen a person tell someone else that everything is fine when his or her body language and expressions clearly say something different? This may be a sign that they are not telling the truth, even to themselves! As the website bifaloo.com points out, when someone is lying the timing between what they are saying and what they are expressing may be off or their expressions may be mismatched to their words — just think of a flat ‘thank you’ accompanied with a frown for a big bouquet of flowers – something is off! Other signs of a mismatch include a person shaking their head ‘no’ while replying yes to a question, reports ScienceofPeople.com.

4. Their language can change
They might use distancing language to separate themselves from the truth, even changing their selection of pronouns as they speak. “I misplaced her money,” might became “I misplaced the money,” all in an effort, subconscious or otherwise, to show less connection to an object or objects or to what is being discussed.
-
5. Direction of their eyes
Sometimes people who are not telling the truth may look to the left because they may be constructing answers or imagery in their head. This may be opposed to looking to the right or up and to the right, where people’s eyes often head when they are trying to recall an auditory or visual memory. However, as bifaloo.com points out, these eye directions may be reversed for the typical left-handed person. And udemy.com reports that eye direction may not be most reliable indicator of a lie.
-
6. Covering their mouth or eyes
Many people want to literally cover up a lie or hide themselves from the reaction to it, which may be why they put their hands over their eyes or mouths when letting an untruth out. Others may even actually completely close their eyes when telling a lie, according to an article posted on communitytable.com, particularly when its in response to a question that does not require a lot of reflection.
-
7. Unusual gesticulating
Think about what a kid does when you ask them where the last cookie went. They may lick their lips, look at their nails, or even shake their hands – and then tell a big whopper of a lie. What’s really happening is that their anxiety-response has kicked in it, causing blood to be withdrawn from their extremities, according to communitytable.com. They may be unconsciously trying to calm that anxiety response or at least get the blood flowing back to their extremities, all of which could point to nervousness about telling a lie.
-
8. Taking that hardline pause
Liars may pause a lot as they work to construct details or stories in their head or to explain their actions using a storyline that really didn’t occur. Lifehack.com reports that paying attention to these pauses can be important because it may mean that an individual is making up events as they talk. Prevention magazine additionally says that people who pause, who seem to be thinking hard, or who show gaps in their conversation may be exhibiting behaviors consistent with people who lie.
-
9. Improvising with the details
Since a liar may make up things as they go, they may also have a tendency to add excessive detail to better convince themselves or others of what they are saying. They may also embellish with details that a person who is telling the truth wouldn’t think of adding. For example, a poster on AllWomensTalk.com, said that her mom could always tell when her brother was telling a lie because her brother would just talk on and on when questioned.
-
10. Pointing their fingers (literally)
The act of pointing at or toward something or someone else may signal a desire to take a focus off of an individual and onto someone else, according to therichest.com. Of course, knowing if that person normally gesticulates or finger points frequently can be a helpful baseline. Additionally, if they point their finger in a different direction than the way their eyes are looking, they could also be telling a lie, according to The Student Eye.

A boner is a dead give away.
Everyone on the right and on the left KNOWS that Trump has his nose in EVERYTHING, even things that he should'nt. For him to come out and say he knew NOTHING about that Trump Tower meeting headed by his own son.........is a 3-way b*tch slap on his voters. Folks, read carefully: The very idea that Trump Jr. even accepted that meeting under the premise of obtaining so-say damaging information from a hostile foreign government at odds with us clearly establishes INTENT. Everything is hidden in plain sight, okay, and everything that Mueller is doing is cementing it all.
There's really not a lot of rage about this 4.1 GDP because, while he can take credit, it wasn't 'by design' on his part. Trump received a house that had already been gutted, repaired, and flipped by President Obama while President Obama received a completely flood-submerged, rotting, mold-filled, and dilapidated shell. Even so, Obama STILL MANAGED to roll with 4.1 GDP three times! Here:

However, I really like John Harwood's breakdown on his Twitter feed, and, especially a picture of the upcoming and NEW TRUMP TOWER!!!! Here:
https://twitter.com/JohnJHarwood/status/1023032595129487360
under Obama:
—5.1% Q2 2014
—4.9% Q3 2014
—4.7% Q4 2011
—4.5% Q4 2009
Folks, if you'll just look really close in this next chart, you'll see where Obama did all the good with the numbers and how they gradually DECLINE as he's leaving office but rise slightly in 2017 Q2 under Trump.

Let's not get it all twisted, Trump has a LOOOONG way to go before he can even think of touching the GREAT PRESIDENT OBAMA'S numbers @ 5.1. You can bet your last dollar that those businesses which are hurting from tariffs right now KNOW who's the REAL GDP BALLER. FACTS, FACTS, FACTS.
You know, folks, it's really NOT that we intend to pick on Trump, okay. It's just that this man ignores facts while refusing to issues credit where it's rightfully due. Obama extended credit to Bush where it was due even though he criticized him for the war and the condition of the economy. Outside of Trump initially saying that Obama is a 'very good man', he's done nothing but attack that same 'very good man' while also lying on him in multiple areas for no good reason. Trump lied about the unemployment rate before he took office stating that those numbers were 'fake' and probably much higher than being reported....BEFORE HE PUT'EM ON HIS RESUME:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2017/03/10/19-times-trump-called-the-jobs-numbers-fake-before-they-made-him-look-good/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.3c29f0c7cf71
Sean Spicer was right there with him:
https://www.cnbc.com/video/2017/03/10/spicer-jobs-numbers-very-real-now.html
Notice that Spicer does say that the 'President made this claim.' See, it's this kind of thing that has Trump in a sling with not only us but, even those old school-type Conservatives. Folks, they do not like all of this lying, shucking and jiving that Trump does. Hell, even Mitch McConnell said that Trump inherited a good economy and as much as I take issue with Mitch over the SCOTUS deal, I respect him for telling that truth. Truth matters....EXCEPT FOR WITH THIS PRESIDENT.
