For all the vile bullshit 45 said about the Bush family

I would be shocked if the family allowed him to speak at the service.
I'm shocked they allowed him to attend.

I can't even begin to say how inappropriate that would be.

The seating arrangements will be very interesting. Maybe they can seat Dan Quayle next to trump*.

and I can't imagine they'd choose him. He was probably invited only because it's customary for sitting presidents to attend funerals of former presidents, and the family probably felt obligated to follow that custom. I hope they ask Bill Clinton to speak (or better yet, Hillary).

Is no reason for him to be there. He did not respect the Bush family.

Jeb has not forgotten the beating and berating he took at the hands of Trump during the Primaries. Barbara abd GHW Bush voted for Hillary, as did Laura.

That has to chap Trump's hide. I hope they all snub Trump and Melania while they are there in a quiet and dignified way as the Obamas and Clintons pay their respects with hugs and handshakes. Hillary there will cause Trump indigestion that she is free and not locked up.

It is the small details I am pointing out.
