Do you want to see your teeth while you are brushing them?
I go to the dentist for teeth cleanings regularly. I have no interest when he tries to use his little mirror, coaxing me to open wider to show me what's going on in my back left molar.

9A video posted to Donald Trump’s account on his social media network Monday included references to a ‘unified Reich’ among hypothetical news headlines if he wins the election in November,” the AP reports.
“The word ‘Reich’ is often largely associated with Nazi Germany’s Third Reich, though the references in the video Trump shared appear to be a reference to the formation of the modern pan-German nation, unifying smaller states into a single Reich, or empire, in 1871.”
“President Joe Biden’s political operation raised $51 million in April — a significant decline from its March fundraising, according to totals released by his campaign Monday,” CNN reports.

(He ensures, for example, that Big Brother’s ‘Order for the Day’ announcements about the regime’s achievements match up with everything the leader predicted in previous statements, and he excises any untidy references in the state media to people who have been arrested and disappeared.) Once history is fixed, Winston drops contradictory materials into ‘the memory hole,’ a small opening near every desk that leads to a furnace, where the inconvenient past is quickly incinerated.”
“Leaders of the current GOP presumably do not have such memory holes in their offices, but they’re doing their best to replicate the effect.
