I mean, how can you deny him that?! How can you deny US that?!

Who has that kind of power?

Republicans are kind of a totalitarian bunch, if they want to do it they will, with or without the family's permission, and they could even leave the family out of the ceremony if they wanted to, this is a nasty world we live in, right now.

Republicans and right wingers don't know or care about decency.

private ceremony they themselves organized?

have a huge national funeral for someone, (even if the family didn't want it, and refused to be there) He would go ahead and do so, especially if the the person was a soldier who died by mistake in a fouled up operation.

He couldn't just take the coffin. The body belongs to the next of kin.

Of course, looking like a fool has never stopped him. So, who knows.

first of all he could could get fake actors to stand in for the family, and they could get another coffin to fill in for the real one, just hire some Russians, they would gladly help!

They are in power now and if they wanted to have a parade and goose step in front of the coffin of the dearly departed, they would do so.

Right on.

You are one intelligent person.

You see what is going on.

having a military that goose steps, and yes, with the Republicans in power, with people who seem to want to have a dictator, these are scary times. Not to mention the Russians deeply ingrained in our politics.

I fucking hate it and am scared about it.

all we can do is remain vigilant and fight like hell before it rears its ugly head.

I do fight like hell to educate people and influence people to vote.

before it becomes illegal to do it.

I've been smoking weed for 40 years. It is illegal but it is right for me.

to smoke pot, but if it wasn't legal, by the state and If I had the friends to supply me, I probably would smoke it anyway.

Beautiful bud.

I can almost get high just looking at it.

ganbarimasu! "do my best"

Resist, Sister!

I don't think the Bush family would either.

Bush will find someone else too.

And how he's going to fix things and make America great again.

Hypocrisy can be taken just so far.

Didn't they not vote for him?

If only it could be.

Besides, I think the bushes despise dt. I can't imagine them letting dt speak at 41's service.

as I recall reading when he was diagnosed with brain cancer and it was going to be a low key affair which likely means no Trump.

Funerals of ex-presidents are government functions not private affairs. As soon as a president leaves office he has to plan his funeral. Obama has already planned his. Whatever the plans are for Bush and Carter have long be planned.

"Presidents are typically involved in their own funeral planning, she noted early Wednesday, and "they can choose to have a simple funeral; they can choose to have a full honor funeral. It simply is up to the family.""

I said that. What president has chosen to have a "simple funeral"?

and that's saying something.
