    Other attendees on Tuesday will include President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris… …former first ladies Laura Bush, Michelle Obama and Melania Trump

    Odd to see this name show up. At least her husband won’t be there to try to make it about himself.

      I’m not surprised. She had grace. Rosalynn Carter was consulted about the invitation list for her funeral, and it was her decision to include Melania Trump.

      Inviting all living FLOTUS to attend the funeral of a former First Lady is a long standing tradition. But, Melania better mind her manners, as there are at least two in that crowd that would have no problem straighten her out.

        Campaigning. I’d imagine she cares less about awkwardness and more about wanting to be seen as one of them.

        Besides, she’s married to an 80 year old ape, and all the countless shit that definitely happening with him behind clothes doors. Her whole existence is awkward, she’s used to it by now.
