A friend was into making short films and had an in with a local theater.  So he invited me to go see Blood Simple for his second viewing, and he not only got us in for free, but we were able to sit up in the otherwise closed off balcony and even smoke a joint up there.  So I was hooked into the Coens early on.  A memorable viewing experience and helluva film.
Yeah, [spoiler] right at the moment Ray buries Marty's almost dead body in a claustrophobic scene, at night by car.headlight, and then in the early dawning the camera pulls back to show what a monumental fuck up it was[end spoiler] I decided I wanted more from them.

And this -

But for all the intentional focus by the White House on the president Thursday, senior administration officials say it was Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner who worked behind the scenes over the last several months to smooth out the agreement and convince Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Zayed (MBZ) to agree to it publicly in the lead up to the 2020 election. Thursday’s announcement is an extension of a years-long effort by Kushner to construct a working Middle East Peace Plan, an accord formally announced by President Trump in January, and officials say they expect the president’s son-in-law to deliver similar agreements between Israel and other Arab nations in the next several weeks.

As often as Rasmussen has Trump trending up it is a surprise he isn't up 30 points by now.

Morning Joe trying to debunk that plasma even works.


Morning Joe has about as much right to offer medical opinions as Tweeting Donald does. It is irresponsible of both of them.

Unfortunate that the FDA issued a premature quasi-opinion that is too easy to misinterpret and to intentionally twist.

The Manhattan district attorney's office said Monday that it has agreed not to enforce a subpoena to an accounting firm for President Donald Trump's financial records until after a federal appeals court has ruled on Trump's request for a stay pending appeal of his lawsuit.

The deadline for the subpoena had been set to expire this week, but the appeals court said last week that it won't hear oral arguments in the case until September 1, which left a window of several days where prosecutors could have sought to obtain the records from the accounting firm, Mazars USA.

Eliminates one potential path of appeal by Trump to invalidate whatever conclusions are drawn by the grand jury from the records.

It’s not a political convention. It’s a grift. None of the speakers are political figures. They are all criminals.

"What they're doing is using Covid to steal an election. They're using Covid to defraud the American people, all of our people, of a fair and free election," Trump said, without evidence, to applause from GOP delegates, who were gathering in North Carolina to conduct the formal business of the party convention.

It was hardly the optimistic message that Trump's advisers have been relentlessly previewing ahead of this week's renomination festivities. Instead, Trump's speech was indistinguishable from the meandering, grievance-filled appearances he has been making in the lead-up to his scaled-down convention.
