Attorney general blames federal jail for ‘failure’ to keep Jeffrey Epstein alive

So then Mr. Barr is deeply concerned.
You consistently write “should of” instead of “should’ve” or “should have.” I don’t know why this tilts me so bad.

It’s surprisingly easy so long as you have the right set up.
Question is if he had that. I could see somebody slipping him a poison capsule for a substantial payment. Prison guards smuggle stuff into prison all the time.
Amazing lol
Even if he didn’t get it on the first try, he had lots of time on his hands.
The difference is he wins
The only thing Donald Trump has won at since being elected is some news cycles. Sometimes winning is replacing a story about you being a sex offender with a story about you being a racist. I don’t know how we got here either. When I started to actually be politically aware around when Republicans thought lying and sexual impropriety were impeachable I definitely didn’t see this coming.
Hurt Locker > Avatar for the BP Oscar ranks right up there with Dances > GoodFellas or Trump > Hillary in terms of upsets. I’d have bet the same way and felt great about it.
Dances with Wolves was a legitimately good movie and a massive box office hit, so I don’t think it was an upset when it beat Goodfellas. Obviously Goodfellas was a better movie but it isn’t outrageous that Goodfellas lost. Kind of like how Rocky beat out a bunch of movies that were probably better – Taxi Driver, Network, All the President’s Men. Rocky wasn’t the best picture but it wasn’t a travesty that it won. It was a great movie that was a huge hit and had the broadest appeal, so sure OK.
Hurt Locker wasn’t as good as Avatar and made 1/60th as much money so I have no idea how the fuck a mediocre cliche war movie somehow beat Avatar. The only rational explanation is that enough of Hollywood hates Jim Cameron enough that they voted for his ex wife out of spite.

Chicago > The Pianist is a travesty that can only be explained by not wanting to give Polanski an Oscar.

I read an article awhile back where it claims the 2nd best movie that has wider appeal usually wins.
Lots of people pick X for best picture and then they put green book at two
Green book wins on total points.

Epstein taken off suicide watch at his lawyers’ urging, ABC News reports
Alleged sex-trafficker Jeffrey Epstein was taken off suicide watch late last month partly due to urging from his defense team, ABC News reports.
The multimillionaire financier reportedly had to also undergo multiple psychiatric evaluations before prison officials approved the move.
It is unlikely that footage exists of Epstein’s apparent suicide, sources said, because cameras are not directed at individual cells in the unit where he was being held.
Attorney General William Barr vowed earlier today that Epstein’s co-conspirators would still face consequences despite the unexpected death. “Let me assure you that case will continue on against anyone who was complicit with Epstein,” Barr said in a New Orleans speech. “Any co-conspirators should not rest easy. Victims deserve justice and will get it.”
Yeah I could have found more egregious examples (The Artist) and I did like Dances as well. I’ve seen it several times and it was the last of my VHS movies I got rid of (along with my last VCR) but it still would have been vastly better but for Costner’s presence therein. Tin Cup should never get a statue.
GoodFellas was cinematic perfection, though. Insanely good performances at every turn and probably the most re-watchable film I’ve ever seen.
