These people with all that money disturbing other peoples day with their wedding and no one bats a eye. The level of crazy is beyond me. Why don't they just get married somewhere else without disturbing other people with their nonsense or their grandioso attitude.

@howardrobinson4938REMEMBER IN NOVEMBER!
@jims6323SHE DID A GOOD JOB.
@TonieJose-k6kI know who really should be arrested for damaging the reflective pool, and it's not the former Olympian..
@pierremorel4548So the woman had the opportunity to get in her car and leave the parking lot, but instead waited for the man to return, then shot him. That’s not self defense. That’s a crime!
@aliciabrewer7924STOP with the "feels like" temos already! It's real FAKE NEWS, isn't scientific and doesn't allow for historical comparison.
@DannebergAcresSHARK GET THEM KLANS.
@TonieJose-k6kRoyal...for now😂.
@StevenHonanie-g1bI'm just curious how much of that job growth is due to people that have to take on second and third jobs to pay for what this idiot has done to our country.
@barbaracress2087Daredevil = Narcissist
@aliciabrewer7924so hot it cooked y'alls tiny brains
@BurntKittyForge-pl8olStand your ground…. OVER A PARKING SPOT?! Bro… we’re adults. Act like it. wtf?!
@G0AT11Brutal heat for 180m+ be safe and cool during high heat.
Man killed over parking space hard to believe.
Man rescued after 8 days after quake glad he was saved.
U.S. advanced to next round of World Cup Good luck U.S.A. on Monday night.

David Muir props to you,even when you're reporting bad news,i take comfort when it comes from you. Weird hunh?😊❤
@StevenHonanie-g1bSo nothing about the monks that were killed in Thailand?? Sad
@vallovesnature8449As the fish population dwindles in the oceans, you will see more shark attacks as time goes on. I can guarantee that.
@DruKlausThat many jobs were lost. It is double that. So not so good when you look at the whole picture.
@caroldorsett8170i think blacks achieved the most during slavery would be the peak and it was the only time they participated and they should get a first ever to do that and to particeapate award
@BurntKittyForge-pl8olsooo many people talking about that vera hart archetype quiz its crazy, lol. Tried it myself and the results are quite promising.
@NanzibaAshfin-j8eEmpire stadium security should be arrested, too. For not doing their job.
@violagentschWow,you know N Yorkers aint liking this news.
@StevenHonanie-g1bSo ppl passing out from heat, while greedy bosses make asphalt workers work in this heat? I'm stunned 😯
@violagentsch" Sharks were spotted in the water"
Mr Muir said. That's a miracle. 😂
❤❤❤
@YenNguyen-jj6fpYou forgot to mention the Arizona toddler that got pronounced dead and then was found alive and breathing in the hospital morgue. More than likely brain damaged from the false diagnosis.
@pfrydog“If a nation expects to be ignorant and free … it expects what never was and never will be”
-Thomas Jefferson
Left, right and center, government people count on you being completely ignorant
Of your own constitution, your own liberty, of economics, of policy, of what they are authorized to do, and everything in between
One Love
@ebrynhomesImagine trying to blame your F up not only on citizens but also trying to ruin a citizens life over your F up…the government is a joke
@NotAhNewtJust when you think these idiots, can’t get any more outrageous. “He damaged the pool.” the way that was said the way it was repeated as a way to avoid an actual answer. Says everything there is to say about this absurd situation.
@paleolith54Just because jobs are being added doesn't mean they pay a living wage.Let's have a report on that.
@ez9850Anyone else skipped the Taylor wedding part?
@fligginhymehippyYou're charging the climbers with felonies!!! This is BS!!
@fligginhymehippyI hopeTaylor Swift is paying for all the security. Why didn't she just have a quiet wedding. Doesn't she get enough attention? I wonder how long the marriage last.
@ez9850killled over A PARKING SPACE!!!!
... Jesus Christ HELP this world
That was NoT self defense
@colienbeauchamp4559Why aren’t you showing the world the soldier that’s being arrested for standing up for the constitution of the United States? 250 years of freedom and we arrest a soldier for standing up for the constitution put it on the air ABC or I will stop watching.
