Think all these gents are secret service? Probably at least those on the aisle.

Same.

I'm sure Kamala had a brief "I can't believe I lost" feeling that she'll never get over. Glad she didn't resort to election denialism at least.

Anyway... looks like Obama said the first thing, and then had to repeat it. I'd guess they're talking about (or Trump is asking about) this or previous state funerals and other minor points.

Melania does look trapped, though. She probably thought she was free after 2020... I wonder how much we will see of her over the next 4 years.

Did you watch the video? She turns around and sees Obama and Trump and if "Harrumph" had a picture, that would be it.

Solemnity? Yeah, apparently Obama thought something hysterical. Harris just looks pissed.

Trump: “So I launched a new cocktail called a Dark ‘n Stormy Daniels, but I had to take it off the market within a week…”
Obama: “Oh, why?”
Trump: “Apparently, it caused too many people to wake up with a financial hangover the next day…”

If this was Mission Impossible, Tom Cruise would be there made up as Mr. Bush.

“As President Carter returns to Plains, Georgia for his final resting place, we say goodbye in the words of the prophet Micah whom Jimmy so admired.

Until his final breath, he did justly, loved mercy, and walked humbly.

May God bless a great American, a dear friend, a good man.”

[jon-nyc]

So Carter’s service was held on what would have been Nixon’s 112th birthday.

[89th]

BTW Michelle Obama isn't there because she's on vacation. That is some BS.

[jon-nyc]

Yeah that’s fucked up.

[blondie]

Am I right? Mr Obama, just can’t sit still and shut up when seated in a crowd. Be it a funeral, an awards night, anything. He’s always seems the first to turn to someone and yap something.

Black Solemnity.

[Horace]

Word on the street is that she wasn't all-in on America in Carter's day. I guess she's not all-in today, either. Maybe there were eight or so years where she respected the country, for some reason.

[AndyD]

Obama is 63 though looking older after his service; let's face it the other members of the club could fall off the twig anytime.

Who was the old woman, family member, who nodded off? That had us laughing.

I'm sure the US is perfectly happy with the fact that you are not a member.
