So no prayers?

Black Woman love love and solitude

Really heartfelt, I'll try not to tear up

Biden himself shouldn’t say a word about this. Would own the whole UK

Remember when democrats used to say, “our thoughts and prayers go out to the family?” I suppose their hearts and thoughts are just as empty.

Now is not the time for politics. They shouldn't mention the king.

On this sad day with news of the death of Queen Elizabeth, I take solace as an American from the fact that Joe Biden is POTUS rather than the previous guy. The US will be represented by a head of state with class, decorum, a sense of history and seriousness that befits the moment

True professional.

Obviously didn’t know it was confirmed yet. Super poised, classy response.
