The old adage may have it that we shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, but ever since Aristotle first wrote about the art of physiognomy, people have thought it possible to deduce character traits from someone’s facial features.
Though now dismissed as pseudoscience, there may still be a kernel of truth in the idea that someone’s face can shape their destiny - a Princeton University study showed it takes us a tenth of a second to size up the cut of a stranger’s jib and, rightly or wrongly, we react to them accordingly.
Hence, recent studies suggest that those with what we perceive to be dominant faces (fuller jaws and thicker brows) are more likely to make CEO, that juries are more inclined to believe baby-faced men are not guilty of certain crimes, and that politicians with competent-looking faces (higher cheekbones and angular jaws) have a greater chance of being elected.

When I saw him use that face I knew somebody had just been screwed.
She is cold blooded. Thinks nothing of having people killed who get in her way.
so true! Maybe it's her demons we are seeing.
It took awhile, but the authorette finally got to her point. .
Hillary’s being unfairly treated because she’s a woman, and Trump is a meanie.
Yep. Pointing at the friends she never had.
Dogs cannot smile because they have no lips. Instead, they open their mouths wide when happy.
We got to do something for the younger generation.
Can you imagine all the young school kids that would have to watch her for the next 4 years if she is elected
I particularly like the pointing with both index fingers in that one. Looks exactly like the stance the witch in the Wizard of Oz took after seeing her sister dead.
ODD that her wrinkles were not so visible in her first debate appearance (and my friend has one of those new fangled hi-def screens).
That looks more like “I’ll get you my pretty, and your little dog too!”
