PCIntern's JournalYou know, this is really picky,
But as usual I can’t help myself.
I was watching the Creepy Trump ad and noticed that Ivanka’s crowns or veneers are so grossly overbulked that they are incredibly unappealing and if I had inserted anterior restorations in a young lady‘s mouth which look like that, I would expect at the very least some very nasty letters from her, family, or perhaps even an attorney. What probably happened here is that she wanted her teeth done and refused to have any reduction of her natural teeth to make room for a proper or natural “emergence profile” from her gum AND CONCOMITANTLY she wanted the lightest shade possible, what we call a bleaching shade, and the combination of those two parameters caused a fairly grotesque look to the teeth.
If proper reduction were permitted, and I certainly understand why someone would not want to lose significant tooth structure, the veneers or crowns would appear to be more natural. Or if the shade had been less brilliant, the apparent distinction between those six front teeth and her posterior or back teeth would not be as great, and would not be so obvious. The effect is not so apparent on direct frontal view, but when she turns 3/4, it really is from my perspective a horrifying look. In the beginning in the 1980s when veneers came into being, occasionally a case would look like this if the laboratory technician did not fabricate thin enough veneers because he or she were not trained properly at that time. But there is no excuse now for that appearance Unless the patient has restricted the dentist from performing his or her task appropriately, or the dentist has no idea what here she is doing which is also quite possible.
Her fathers reconstruction, while horrifyingly white with terribly chosen hue and value for a man his age, is at least conforming to the surrounding tissue and properly proportioned, unlike the rest of him.
Parenthetically, you have no idea what it’s like to do dentistry on a terrible asshole. I’m not talking about your average difficult person I’m talking about people who are impossible. They say being a dentist is like trying to fix a Watch with somebody spitting on your fingers. Doing it on a horrible person is like being a Watchmaker with someone spitting on your fingers and hitting you in the head with a ballpeen hammer at the same time.
Trump may have crossed the Rubicon
Both the military and intelligence agencies play the long game, and the fantasy that is Trump has a finite shelflife, which is quickly drawing to a close. The betrayal of the military, coupled with the insidious destruction of the public trust as well as the internal stability of the intelligence agencies is enough to force the hand of these individuals to end this.
Many of us who have been around for a long time believe that actions against the system as a whole by people in power are not tolerated well. Trump has essentially attempted to destroy the fabric or the glue which holds this nation together and for a variety of reasons, some of which are more altruistic than others, this will not be allowed. It is one thing for the rich to get richer, it is another thing to undermine the basis for the existence of the country in order that the rich may become richer. He is risking cataclysm and TPTB know this.
I would like to remind those who mention Dukakis' polls
that he was ahead coming out of his convention by something like 14 points so what did he do? He went to Tanglewood and listened to classical music (which btw I would LOVE to do) for two weeks while a Bush and Co. did a job on him.
That was exactly why Clinton-Gore at the end of their convention got in the bus and went on the road immediately. They learned from the Dukakis mistake.
I'm wondering if Der Fuhrer was told that SCOTUS
was going to rule against him in the tax return case. It might account for his coming off the rails even more than he usually does.
Just a thought. I would believe that they have inside info.
Streaming "Game Change"
Watching....we have devolved horribly....and it was bad enough back then. We may be doomed. The rate of change has increased. Things are getting worse faster and faster. All the things that were said would never be said now.
There are some very poignant lines, some of which are very prescient. My God, how far we have fallen.
I just heard something interesting from a Rethug Insider here in Philly
This gentleman is nationally connected. I’ve known him for a very long time and he’s not insignificant.
He despises Trump for a variety of reasons, almost all of them sound. He told me a couple interesting things on the fly and I thought I would mention them here for review. I’m just going to tell you what he said, and not whether I think they’re necessarily true or not.
He said the reason McCain chose Palin was they sat down with him and said you have no hope of winning the election at all whatsoever. McCain went for the Hail Mary, and thought he had done the right thing until she opened her mouth. and then he knew he was finished.
This gentleman to whom I spoke and apparently many others think Trump is going to resign and allow Pence to pardon him and his family members and as they say, cut and run. He stated that the state crimes can be handled via attorneys and they are much less concerned with them Thanfederal crimes.
This gentleman feels that Trump has no hope of winning the election and will be down to about 35 to 37% by election day. No I’ve known this guy for years and he is not one for hyperbole or BS.
