    David Osborne played piano very well; wish we could have heard more of him and less "commentary".
    It is a time to put aside the political crap for a couple of hours and pray for and recall the deceased, and support those left behind.

      To me they just look like they’re being appropriately solemn for the occasion.

      Thank you for your attention to this matter.

        I don't know who looks more pissed - Harris or Emhoff.

          I think it’s cool that Carter and Ford became real friends and promised to speak at each other’s funerals, or have their son do it of they’re last to go.

          Mondale’s son is also reading the eulogy his dad wrote.

            Just a Tuesday for heads of state. I guarantee the words exchanged between Obama and Trump were insipid.

                Just saw an interesting tidbit.

                Jimmy Carter was the first president to be born in a hospital.

                My father, born 6 years later, was born at home.

                Thank you for your attention to this matter.

                  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.

                                      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.”

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