The optics of this are just crazy. The incumbent president being so toxic that he's not invited to the funeral of one of his predecessors.

(5,126 posts)services for HW as a former President. Barbara as a former First Lady and McCain as a Senator were different. I wouldn't blame them if they did, but this is different. It could go either way IMO - I guess we will see.

(115,683 posts)he probably won't be asked to speak. I was never a fan of GHWB but he doesn't deserve the insult of Orangehole McLittledick speaking at his funeral.

(5,126 posts)I can't imagine them giving him a mic. President Obama on the other hand, is a national treasure as a speaker and empathetic human and met with HW recently. I am guessing he will be invited to speak.

(7,596 posts)However, we're talking about a 72-year-old man-infant who seems to be absolutely incapable of not making every event he attends about himself. Everyone planning the funeral right now has to be dreading the prospect of this dipshit attending and turning it into a train crash.
