How to use mess in a sentence?
Republican Senator Ron Johnson:
I never would've appointed her, i didn't vote for her confirmation. I wouldn't rely on her to clean up this mess. I don't think she's qualified to do so.
Adnan's case was a mess -- is a mess. That's pretty much where we were when we stopped reporting in 2014, baltimore City Police have told the prosecutor's office they're gon na put someone back on the case. Someone will try to talk to the two suspects Becky [ Feldman, chief of the state's attorney's office sentencing review unit ] identified in the motion. I have zero predictions about what could come of that. But I do know that the chances of the state ever trying to prosecute Adnan Syed again are remote at best.
When E.T. was re-released, I actually digitized 5 shots where ‘E.T.’ went from being a puppet to a digital puppet and I also replaced the gun when the F.B.I. runs up on the van, now they walkie talkies. So, there’s a really bad version of ‘E.T.’ where I took my cue from ‘Star Wars’ and all of the digital enhancements of ‘A New Hope’ that George put in, and I went ahead, because the marketing at Universal thought we need something to get an audience back, and see the movie so I did a few touch up in the film, social media wasn’t as profound as it is today but what was just beginning, you know, erupted a loud, negative voice about, ‘how could you ruin our favorite childhood film by taking the guns away and putting walkie-talkies in their hands among other things.’ So, I learned a big lesson and that’s the last time I decided to ever mess with the past. What’s done is done, and um, I’ll never go back and do another movie I’ve made and I have control over to enhance or changes.
It would have to be something bigger than shutting down a lane on a bridge. Come on, they're always late for work in New York. It's a mess to begin with. So you have one less lane or two less lanes? Big deal!
With #MeToo, women are now coming out and naming the men who raped them, even if they haven't pressed charges against them, and many people are like :' Whoa, whoa, whoa ! You can not do it like this, you have to do it the right way,' there's a lot of pressure on survivors to do the' correct thing' and press charges and try to have the perpetrator convicted, but the' right way' isn't working, the vast majority of cases, they don't even make it to the judge. So they don't get any judgment on whether the perpetrator is guilty or not. It's just a mess.
