I can't tell you to lie, I can just paint a trail and hop you can follow it.

Except for beating her child, I liked her. She was right about the husband undercutting her authority, even if she was too brittle about it.

#AnatomyOfAMurder is one of a string of attorney - murder trial films with one relatively young attorney and one older washed up drunk attorneys.

There are four ways I can defend murder. Number one, it wasn’t murder. It was suicide or accidental. Number two, you didn’t do it. Number three, you were legally justified like the protection of your home or self-defense. Number four, the killing was excusable.

I can't believe it, I'm actually starting to like Joan Crawford. Most things I've seen with her she was over cooked. But this one is actually almost subtle.

They keep teeing up the situation, but refuse to deliver. So civilized and modern, and not at all gut ripping.

Korematsu v. United States
1944 U.S. Supreme Court case upholding the internment of Japanese Americans

Just a few of the Nisei challenged the internment orders. Eventually the Supreme Court decided it was OK

Feels like bait. All the GOP want to be free, but they want someone else to go first.

Weird that Trump just can't bear the thought of someone somewhere benefitting unless he is benefitting from it. The whole concept of aid and charity is painful for him.

Covid vaccines were supposed to reduce serious illness. They worked. Serious illness dropped, case fatalities dropped Unvaccinated got illness and death as per usual.

No one proposed COVID vaccine would give full immunity, which is why they said we should get boosters for the foreseeable future.

Because Trump was only President for about 1 year, early in the pandemic, while it was spreading. Biden was President 4 years, well after it had become pandemic and was established.

iow Trump was at the thin end of the wedge, Biden was at the big end.

#TermsOfEndearment was 1983. Jennifer Jones had retired by then. It would have been her first in 8 years.

Can you work more Reality Distortion Fields into your stories? Maybe if people see good descriptions, they will recognize them in real life.
