The GOP was probably more upset about the speech than anyone every tims he mentioned one of his bigly expensive programs.

The GOP hasn't been about less spending for decades at this point. They say they are to get votes and then cut "liberal" programs and just turn around and fund their own poo poo.

Look at the Bush years.

Government expendetures to "contractors" i.e. publicly held companies whose stock and debt are held primarily by institutions. Government expendeture is just another wealth pass through to the wealthy.

Yeah dentistry costs in this country are beyond insane.

In Germany dentistry was part of my regular insurance (for which I paid 70 euro a month for, as a student tho tbf) except in addition to the insurance premium there was also a 10 or 15 euro copay once per quarter. So if you go to the dentist 3-4 times in one calendar quarter you only pay that copay the one time. Covered all dental work.

Here, one filling is hundreds of dollars and if you need a root canal + crown that is easily thousands. GF just had that done out of pocket, was over a grand for the root canal and almost a grand for the crown.

Dental insurance is useless too because unless you have fucko teeth and you're there constantly the savings you get aren't more than what you pay in premiums - esp since most dentists will give you a cash or no insurance discount which is usually at the very least 10%.

I don't quite remember what I paid to get my wisdom teeth out but it was thousands of dollars not hundreds.

From a while back but I have always refered to this as the "George Lucas Effect" because when he released the updated versions they had a short video before each movie and whenever George would talk about an... improvement... such as CGI Snowspeeders, it was always something HE did and HE wanted. Whenever he talked about something that was impossible to do at the time it was always something THEY couldn't do and THEY didn't have the technology for

It's called the "rear end in a top hat narcissist" effect, where the rear end in a top hat narcissist takes credit for every successful thing and throws everyone and everything except themselves under the bus when something fails.

It is possible to compliment someone on their eloquence while still deriding their content. These are not mutually exclusive things. Still, lol at CNN licking trump's boots.

Edit: especially when there was no indication last night would be anything other than an unmitigated disaster.

if they had any self respect at all they'd go with "well he managed to speak like an adult this time maybe next time it won't be full of fabrications"

but they don't because they just want to sell their product without being bothered by any kind of journalistic integrity
