I saw it right after it happened, but didn’t watch closely.

Then when I did, I saw the pursed lips and doll eyes. Think of a fish. The eyes don’t move, they are fixed as the head moves. I’ve seen it too many times in the nursing home.

That I’d just damned scary.

Looks like a mild or drug-mediated version of Tardive Dystonia. Repetitive facial tics, insecure balance, inappropriate use of words. Can be caused by various psych meds.The internet articles all point to anti-schizophrenic meds, but I know someone who has TD from standard anti-anxiety drugs and GI meds subsequent to cancer treatment/chemo. Can be tamped down with other meds, but otherwise incurable.

Bright, motivated people can play off the symptoms and they become less easy to spot while the patient is actively trying to control themselves.

Not a doctor and I don’t play one on the Internet, but I’ve seen this sort of syndrome before.

Y'know, the thing about a shark, she's got lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eyes. When Hillary comes after ya, she doesn't seem to be livin' until she bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white, and then - aww, then you hear that terrible high-pitch screaming' from the citizens of the country, the map turns blue, and in spite of all the poundin' and the hollerin', Hillary and all of her friends come in and rip ya to pieces...
