(16,334 posts)it can be a symptom of something bad that causes it to droop and look smaller than the other. I assume she's had it checked.

(24,324 posts)Just on the right of my face.. mostly the right eye.. Almost un-noticible. I had to tape my eye shut with Scotch tape every night so it wouldn't dry out. I kid you not.
Weird because the symptom started the DAY AFTER I had cataract surgery on that eye... humm...
Hers seems to be a lasting thing. Could be a "lazy eye" I suppose but it could be something else.

(6,286 posts)My face never came back right, especially the eye. I had a face for radio before that. Now I'd kill to look like that again. Life is funny.

(12,516 posts)As I try and wrap my mind around the thought of someone poking around my eyeball with sharp instruments during upcoming cataract surgery, now I have to possibly duct tape my eye lid shut!
Someone just shoot me now.
Thanks Obama.
pangaia
(24,324 posts)Nobody but NOBODY could possibly be more afraid of having anything touching their eyeball than I am. I couldn't even put eye drops in my eyes!
I tried contact lenses.. ONCE. and just freaked out !!!
So. That said. cataract surgery is nothing.. a piece of cake.
My experience was this-- Being prepped- a nurse put some 'numbing drops' in the eye that was going to have the surgery )I did both eyes, a couple weeks apart.) And a small IV was put in my arm for the anestheeeseeologist.
So I was wheeled into the 'operating room.' This was a small local but very good hospital.
They put some type of inverted lampshade' over my face-- like that thing the dentist puts over your mouth-- simple... Head was GENTLY strapped to the table...almost un-noticable.
Anesteegoilgist guy comes in ( I knew him from when I had a cancerous tumor operated on several years before-- but I digress LOL)
I guess he started the juice flowing cause next thing I knew the opthamoloiggister said 'Don't move." Oh right !! Sure. I'm going to sneeze just when you start...It was, of course a joke. I HOPE it was a joke. Couldn't see anything except frosty white, then a multi-colored kalaidascope.
That was it. You will not see or feel a thing. Took the doc all but maybe 2 minutes.. He does about 15 every MOnday and Wed, !!!
After he checked me in the "recovery room" Rather the recovery hallway, I went home.
So chill....
Just hope you don;t get Bell's Palsy..
(Actually, when I noticed then next morning the right side of my face didn't move right. I though I might be having a stroke.!! So there is that to worry about also..
Went right to my PCP. He immediately ordered an MRI (Shit, not another one of those..I have a little claustrophobia and had 2 of those when the lymphoma was discovered in my back...
OK I'll shut up.
I'm fine, by the way...
And you will B 2.

It's not some arbitrary comment about her appearance, it's an apt observation about her twisted up face as she's working up one of her twisted up lies at a press briefing.

He is fat and ugly, and his ugly fatness should be mocked any time he is discussed, because he is disgusting.
Despite the eager scolding by high-minded, finger-wagging Progressives, the ugly fatness of Trump, and the mockery of that fat ugliness, is no commentary on anyone but fat and ugly Trump himself. When I mock the fat and ugly Trump, I am not speaking of anyone else, and it is false to infer that my comments about ugly fat Trump have anything to do with non-Trump people who struggle with issues of weight or appearance.
Trump has spent decades mocking people for their weight and appearance--including literal beauty queens--while he himself sets new standards for bloated hideousness. His vile hypocrisy makes him a fair and legitimate target for insults about his huge and ugly fatness.

(11,841 posts)DU has never had a shortage of hypocrisy.
Imagine if these comments were made about a still shot of HRC??
I do, however, reserve the right to make fun of the appearance of murderers
oberliner
(58,724 posts)I agree with you completely.
pnwest
(3,266 posts)emanates from within. Honestly, her physical appearance on its own is not ugly or unattractive. Her looks are average, normal, everyday. Her ugliness comes from the hateful, haughty, arrogant mean-ness that fills her. Imagine that same face with an open, warm, genuine smile - shed be attractive with her big dark eyes. My point is, were not really making fun of her looks, were making fun of the ugliness of her soul that twists her face into the mess that it is.
oberliner
(58,724 posts)I certainly support people criticizing the ugliness you describe - just not her looks, which some of the responses to this thread clearly are doing.
Hekate
(91,055 posts)She had the misfortune to inherit her father's body-type and propensity to weight gain. She's plain of face. Her wardrobe choices are startlingly unflattering. None of that is worth commenting on.
I have known, admired, and loved as friends many such "plain" women, whose inner light and intelligence and kindness shine through. Their smiles are open and genuine. They look beautiful because they really are. I count myself lucky to have them as friends.
But Sarah Huckabee Sanders? She lies. Her words drip with contempt. She contorts her face to show her anger and contempt. I know she has kids -- what a scary mommy she must be. She has made herself ugly.
And frankly, the hypocrisy displayed at DU is by those trying to shut the rest of us up for calling this woman what she is. To them I say: not everything is about you and your self-loathing. Really.

As much as I want to attack SHS for her looks or lack thereof, I'm somewhat grateful she's not another FOX-style bubble-brained bleach blonde that inexplicably achieves an undeserved level of credibility based on their appearance alone.

(33,061 posts)Sure looks like it.
We got good reasons to dislike her, her politics, her dissembling & dishonesty. Her rapidly becoming the Ron Ziegler of the early 21st century(Nixons' press secretary).
But this, mocking a woman for her facial features isn't, & shouldn't be a Democratic or a DU value.
bigtree
(86,023 posts)...many, many people here and around the nation who are directly affected by her and this administration's lies have every right to remark on this woman's contorted face as she's spewing more of her often viscous and ultimately destructive spin from the White House podium. People's actual lives are on the line.
This is a place to vent, and this woman deserves nearly everything that's thrown at her. The rest can be excused, because of the extraordinary incitement to outrage coming daily from this heinous White House.

(61,720 posts)of her face is larger than the other. She cannot control the lack of symmetry.
But knowing this, if I was her, I would work harder to not make scowling faces at the cameras. She's making it worse, and the heavy makeup job accentuates it.

(9,897 posts)She is merely a walking avatar for the effects of habitual lying and its costs on your subconscious mind and how those effects manifest themselves in the real world. I am just amazed that Trump hasn't flipped his shit about how her deteriorating physical appearance reflects badly on his sense of needing to be surrounded by "a beautiful piece of ass"....she definitely aint THAT.
I just wonder if she has ulcers and other maladies that have become worse since she began lying for a living full time...
