It’s funny to watch the republicans on that debate stage because “that song was written about them.

If the goal were upholding the law, they would behave very differently.
I'm half white. I get that white people are programmed to have positive feelings about police, but at some point you have to learn to look past that.

Trump Will ‘Never’ Be President Again, Opponent Proclaims After GOP Debate https://bipartisanreport.com/2023/08/24/trump-will-never-be-president-again-opponent-proclaims-after-gop-debate/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon
@AlliFlowers @msnbc I think the point is that Putin handed out condolences for this “sad accident”. So whether he was on the plane, or already dead when placed on the plane, or dead and not on the plane, it’s probably safe to say Prigozhin is dead and Vlad, like Donny is sitting there thinking “I Fool’d em” or more likely “don’t give a damn what you think, my involvement is denied.” 🤔
@AlliFlowers @msnbc I care ever so slightly.
@AlliFlowers @msnbc I speculate he was on the plane and that Putin had it brought down. I love to speculate.
Let’s stop all the speculation on the Russian plane until we actually know if Prigozhin was on board. Looking at you, @msnbc.

In its bid to fight cancer, the Biden administration this week announced plans to enlist the mRNA technology made famous by COVID-19 vaccines.
The idea is to create a platform of mRNA technologies that could turn the immune system against cancer and other diseases.
