My thought on all governments, “if they all worked together in the interests of the people, life would be so much better for us all”. ❤

[BKT]

Does anyone see the irony of Trump calling VP Harris mentally disabled?

[Kimberly-qgks]

My sympathies to all who are suffering.

[coastalseasider]

Sad to hear about Kris Kristofferson passing.

[James-zetq]

AMERICA UNITED WE ARE STRONG😊😊😊😊😊❤!!!! AMERICA DIVIDED WE ARE WEAK😢😢😢😢😢😢!!!

[The_Digital_Arts_World]

Nothing about Kris Kristofferson other than initial broadcast headlines. Sadly nothing after that. 😢

[marywookey]

Why even mention the death of Kris Kristofferson, if ALL you mention is his death. You can do better.

[JERios-wvlx]

Never underestimate the fury of a Cat 4 hurricane! It really punches very reminds me Hurricane María here in Puerto Rico, in destruction of these monster storms is so massive and huge that people feel as if they had been left at a devastated war zone! 😮 😢

[RobertoGonzalez-othn]

Rip chris, another member of the 4 highway men gone, all we have is willie nelson.

[DianeRoper-snpe]

Top republicans are coming out in support of VP Harris, but they need to take it a step further and say that he should not be running at all. This is a truth that needs to be acknowledged.

[jgustafson]

Pay the workers what they’re worth. It’s that simple.

[Itsmarkyoung]

Why would they have water sprinklers at a factory that manufactures chemicals that can ignite when reacting with water?🤦🏼‍♂️

[cev]

...but good thing there's no climate crisis making these hurricanes and storms worse. Phew 🙄

[PartyLifeme]

All that garbage and toxic mess going into our ocean.

[sandrakulikowski]

Why are these people killing each other? What is the purpose and what is their gain? It makes no sense. That innocent people have to suffer. It’s simply about power and money.

[MichelPrevost-lm]

Donald Trump calling Vice-President Kamala Harris "mentally disable" is disgusting. But frankly, it says more about him than abour her.

[patrickbernardino]

My condolence, heart, and prayers 🙏✝️ goes to the family of Kris Kristofferson for this difficult time, and his legacy will live on for many years and generations to come❕R.I.P.❕

[KevinJonah]

Why doesn’t the news tell us about Donald Trump mental health

[KarmaVanBuuren]

I'm from Lake Lure NC and the damage is unfathomable. NC needs support from anywhere we can get it. If anything, please keep us in your thoughts. These are the oldest mountains in the world and a hurricane causing flash floods on this level has quite literally never happened in it's populations history.

Next debate should have lie detectors ... west texas
