So far both sides are to be congratulated on making this about Bush, not Trump and current/past political disagreements. Both the Bush family and the Trumps have been gracious to each other at this time and Trump has granted every request by the Bushes to make this funeral dignified and not about politics or personal differences, like the McCain funeral was.
I know this makes some people very upset.
I'm encouraged about trump's inclusion to the funeral and would imagine he will welcome the chance to take mental notes for future planning
You confuse Patriotism and Nationalism. Nationalism is the antithesis of Patriotism. The majority, including me, had more pride in our country during the Obama Administration than during the Administration of the Fraud currently occupying the White House. The NFL players who took to kneeling were not protesting the Flag or the National Anthem. They are protesting Police Brutality, White Supremacy and Racism. The people who like Trump do so because he hates the same people they do.
Take note that although Trump has been invited to attend the Funeral of President George H.W Bush, he was not offered a speaking role.
Because everyone knows it would be all about ME! ME! ME! Has anyone ever heard Trump give a speech praising someone else that doesn't eventually (usually within the first few sentences) devolve into being all about him? I don't believe he's capable of it.
The death of H. W. Bush has provided the world with a shocking comparison between the life of a true American patriot and the joke that we have in the White House today. The hard core Trump supporters couldn't care less; because they no longer believe in the America that Bush fought for back in WWII. They no longer share the values of the Greatest Generation that brought us such great prosperity and the respect of the free world. They are perfectly willing to throw all that away and follow a populist wanna-be dictator down the path to destruction. Amazing, but true.
Exactly.
Grace, humility, respect, honor, civility....none of these character traits are associated with Trump.

Yet Trump has shown all of those traits during this time. This funeral could not have happened the way it is without his full support. He has the final say over important funeral details including the use of Air Force One, providing everything needed for a state funeral, and having the Bush family stay at the Blair House across the street from the White House.
So, take a look at what's happening and stop the negativity for at least another day if you can possibly help it.
The family of former president George H.W. Bush has planned a state funeral that will steer clear of the kind of anti-Trump sentiment evident at the recent funeral of Sen. John McCain, according to people familiar with the funeral planning.
The Bush family contacted the White House this past summer to say that President Trump would be welcome at the funeral, scheduled Wednesday at Washington National Cathedral, and to assure him that the focus would be on Bush’s life rather than their disagreements, according to one former administration official.
One official said first lady Melania Trump, who represented the White House at former first lady Barbara Bush’s funeral in April, was struck by the Bush family’s graciousness toward her, which she conveyed to the president, who did not attend that funeral.
Which said that the Bush's were beloved by the White House staff, exactly because of how gracious and approachable they are!
While liberals and a few Republicans including the McCain family are consumed with perpetual anti-Trump animosity most of the rest of us are not. Good for the Bush family, they are a fine family.
The Rabid Left can’t help themselves. Leftist Media is In Total Hysterical Meltdown 24/7/365 days a year.
Both the Bush Family and the Trump Family will show grace and class on such a solemn occasion as this.
We won’t see a replay of the McCain spectacle & the bitterness of the McCain Family.
That was a wake up call to many.
You make it sound like liberals treated H.W. well when he was President. You must have a short memory. The left trashed and smeared Bush, as they do each and every one of their political opponents when they are in power or running for office.
The only good Republican is a dead Republican in the minds of liberals. They only wax poetic about the virtues of Republican politicians when the politician is dead and they can use the opportunity to smear a living Republican. The same thing happened with McCain, who the left smeared as a racist.
Liberals are purely political animals. Their methods and tactics are transparent, revolting, and grotesque. They can't even let an ex-President have a dignified funeral because they see an opportunity to claw their way back to power by using it to attack their present political opponents.
Correct. They villified Mitt Romney, one of the most decent to ever run for office. In 20 years, I could see them actually speaking glowingly of Trump.
Laura Bush posted about the Bush Family visit to the White House today.
Photo was taken in front of Former President Bush Painting- appropriately draped in mourning.
The concept of graciousness is, of course, totally alien to Trump.
