just hours after Trump and Harris faced off in their first-ever debate. 

A laughing stock. Trump has become what he most feared.

“This was a bad night for Trump,” Brit Hume, the sage of Fox News, concluded.

But lost on all of them was the 9/11 message that the US misadventure overseas can come home and bite them.

J6 was worse than 9-11. Those words departed her mouth.

J6 was worse than 9-11. Those words departed her mouth.

9/11 wasn't going to end the functioning of the US government.

But lost on all of them was the 9/11 message that the US misadventure overseas can come home and bite them.

That misadventure being supporting Israel and the Gulf War? Nah, we don't need to bow to terrorists.

Trump get used to call those who died in tragedies were losers, right ?

America has such a president, nasty !

We are pleading for your help, but you ignore us,” Allison Walsh-DiMarzio said, directly challenging Trump and Harris to press Saudi Arabia about any Saudi official involvement in the attacks

This.

A lot of 911 conspiracy is a distraction. But the response to the attack against Afghanistan and Iraq that caused hundreds of thousands of deaths with all the evidence of Saudi personnel and funding is egregious and has been ignored.

killed nearly 3,000 people on Sept 11, 2001. For years, politicians have been only observers at ground zero commemorations, the microphones going instead to relatives who read victims’ names aloud.

Thought and prayer for those 3,000 soul at ground zero s and 654,000 Iraqi souls (source: Lancet medical journal) that have no idea their live being changed because of that day.

One plane hit the Pentagon. Do you not know where United 93 was headed?

It’s still fresh in my memory, like it was yesterday.

A laughing stock. Trump has become what he most feared.

Not as funny as somone who switches their Party and votes for a completely opposite candidate because their former Party's candidate has mean tweets.

-11 ( +2 / -13 )

 Most of the 19 hijackers were Saudi, but the kingdom denies involvement by senior Saudi officials.

Left out in the above are the roles played by Saudi Arabia's partner in fossil fuel and war: the UAE. Both are oil/gas states led by fossils that have enriched themselves and the foreign politicians they help control, especially those pols that want the US and other nations to keep burning burning huge amounts of fossil fuels and engaging in wars to make the fossils richer and more powerful.

Only on the MSM lib sphere.

“This was a bad night for Trump,” Brit Hume, the sage of Fox News, concluded.

Even on this somber and tragic day, libs just can't contain themselves and at this particular gathering just put politics aside, it's just not in them.

-18 ( +4 / -22 )

Just on this one solemn occasion, just this one, could people stop with the insults and childish retorts and remember this day? It was horrific and the first responders still suffer illness, hundreds of firemen and police lost their lives, and it is one of those "I remember where is was when I heard the news" types of tragedies. Just for a coupe of moments, just for a few comments, can't this be about what happened and not who is a bad candidate?

I remember where I was on that terrible day; it was just so crazy, and it broke my heart every single time. RIP to all those who perished. Never forget.

-16 ( +2 / -18 )

Sensing the same feeling in 2016 when Clinton was a lock to beat Trump all the networks and experts said she had a 70% chance. And then......

Feels the same now

"Even on this somber and tragic day, Trump and MAGA freaks just can't contain themselves and at this particular gathering just put politics aside, it's just not in them."

There you go!

Not sure what you are talking about, but the fact of the matter is, just try for once to leave politics aside on this day. Kinda amazing that even the Mods allow this. Disgusting. On this issue, red, blue, left, right, Democrat, republican, liberal, conservative, it doesn't matter, we all bleed the same, dead and death doesn't care about your political affiliation.

Biden said "I'm going to do 9/11 tomorrow" as if he is going to some party. Then he and Kamala left before 9/11 families gave their speeches.

-15 ( +1 / -16 )

That misadventure being supporting Israel and the Gulf War? Nah, we don't need to bow to terrorists.

Tell that to the candidate that you are rushing out to send an absentee ballot in for. Supporting Israel and wrapping loving arms around Dick Cheney is actually no issue for you.

Forgive but never forget.

I have a brother who worked at the World Trade Center. I could not reach him for more than a day, but finally, I learned that he was off work on that tragic day. However, all of his colleagues were killed.

It was yesterday. Today is 9/12.

Regardless of political agendas, differences all should have linked arms, a time to expressed unwavering support unity of purpose for the families, for the bravery of the first responders emergency services.

It was yesterday. Today is 9/12.

It's still 9/11 in America.

American have moved on from 9/11 only lasting legacy is the Patriots Act,those who give freedom for security deserve neither

2 ( +5 / -3 )

Trump fake empathy,he tried hustle 9/11 benefits,that he did not deserve

Trump is as welcome at that gathering as the ex-felon at a family gathering.

Tolerated, not welcome.

deepest sympathy to the victims who fallen to their own government misadventures in the middle east.

After Trump's lies about "Muslims cheering in the streets of New Jersey"....he should have the self-awareness to know he should never defile a 911 memorial ceremony...

Obviously, he lacks that self-awareness...no surprise...

3 ( +6 / -3 )

People were yelling at Trump today "where were you the past 20 years when I've been coming here?"

Apparently he's only ever gone on 9/11 once, in 2015 when he was campaigning.

Seems like a guy who really cares, right?

There is a time and place to put a firm lid on petty party playground politicking.

Yesterday 9/11 solemn remembrance where a nation comes together to commemorate such devastating loss.

-7 ( +2 / -9 )

There is a time and place to put a firm lid on petty party playground politicking.

Then Trump shouldn't have picked today to politic after not going for the past 20 years.

I'm sure you must also think Trump did wrong by doing so, right?

Honestly Strangerland, Trump/Harris political argy-bargy clearly, had after affects spill over from a televised global debate all providing close scrutiny negative repercussions.

They all should have linked arms, displayed nothing would sullen the occasion, given the media a no route or excused to report otherwise.

Trump went to the 9/11 event for political reasons. You are saying that 9/11 shouldn't be politicized. Why is it you think Trump should be excused from this, and instead its ok for him to politicize 9/11?

10 ( +11 / -1 )

They all should have linked arms, displayed nothing would sullen the occasion, given the media a no route or excused to report otherwise.

If Trump hadn't decided to hold a 9/11 political event, the media wouldn't have this topic to report on. Then the media couldn't have reported on this, since he wouldn't have politicized it.

I thought you guys believed in personal accountability?

Still would have been unlikely to take out many congresspeople and wouldn't have flipped an election for which there is no recourse.

Even the most hardened apologists don't consider the Gulf War a "misadventure".

I am not a card carrying MAGA "proud girl" thirty something groupie or groopy/goop 

I simply despise political hypocrisy, gets right up my hooter.

23 years later, conspiracy stories are still rampant on the internet.

I will never forget that day. Nor the images of people jumping to their death and the thousands of people covered in ash on the streets below who were watching it all firsthand.

I'm surprised to see a picture like this. In my honest opinion whoever runs for president in the future should talk more about their policies not attacking their opponents and not talking down on Americans, immigrants, specific race groups etc. That is the main reason why some of us have little to no respect for Trump and even less respect for the people who think what he says is okay.

and how many congresspeople were "taken out" during Jan. 6?

and how many congresspeople were "taken out" during Jan. 6?

Not as many as Donald would have liked. He was aiming for the hanging of Mike Pence.

The right hate nothing more than having the tactics they introduced to the game being played back at them.

Not sure what you’re talking about. Not when it involves a tragedy like this. What is with the left that they can’t hold together their Trump delusion meltdowns?

Ruining the economy and allowing 10 million illegals in? Yeah, he should

That's how we feel about Trump trying to overthrow democracy, raping women, running criminal enterprises, and stealing top secret documents for his own use.

There are good people on both sides.

So, nothing serious as usual

As Kamala said, Trump is a very unserious man.

Ruining the economy and allowing 10 million illegals in? Yeah, he should

What is an "illegals"? Simplify what you mean so I make it easier for you to understand why Trump and his supporters are a disgrace of a human being
