What happens at Jimmy Carter's funeral?
Him! Funeral services fit for a president. Today's funeral service bringing together five living presidents. Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and Donald Trump to honor Carter, the longest-lived commander-in-chief. Wow, that is incredibly rare to have five American presidents in the same room together. And even rarer to have Donald and Melania in the same room together. Kudos to President Carter. And it seemed pretty uncomfortable that they all had to sit next to Donald Trump. Just think about the history there. Trump tried to put her in prison. Accused him of murder. Said he was the secret Muslim founder of ISIS. Said she was pretending to be black. And did his entire family dynasty. Almost got him murdered. tried to overthrow his presidency, and paid off a porn star behind her back. And by the way, basically all of them have said that he's Hitler.
So, yeah, it's a it's a seating chart so awkward that it probably had them asking, is there any extra room in that coffin? Although there was one surprising moment of chemistry.
During Carter's funeral, President-elect Trump chatted with former President Barack Obama. Of course, we don't know what they discussed, but the interaction seemed friendly with both presidents talking and occasionally smiling.
Someone's trying to make Elon jealous? It's a little weird for Obama, though, right? To go from this guy is future Hitler to, oh man, cool story, future Hitler. And by the way, Kamala noticed. Oh, oh. I don't know if that funeral music was for Carter or for her. Kamala did the look that I do when someone behind me at the movie theater is talking. I didn't pay 20 bucks to hear you sing Defying Gravity. Also, this is Conclave. Why are you singing Defying Gravity? She did not seem happy to be sitting that close to Donald Trump. She basically spent the rest of the day flipping through that funeral program like she was going to find 44 electoral votes in it. But of course, the story dominating the news right now is the Los Angeles wildfires.
There's been so many challenges as L.A. workers try to control these fires, like water shortages and manpower shortages. But there's one thing that we have an endless supply of. Good old-fashioned, made-in-America blame. And of course, one of the country's leading blame producers is Donald Trump.
and trying to get Gavin Newsom to allow water to come. You'd have tremendous water up there. They sent it out to the Pacific because they're trying to protect a tiny little fish, which is in other areas, by the way, called a smelt. And for the sake of a smelt, they have no water.
Okay, we'll come back to the smelt. Can we just talk about how weird it is that this senator is staring so hard at Trump the entire time he's talking? That's the kind of behavior that makes me change subway cars. And for the record, no, the LA fires have nothing to do with smelt. But in Trump's defense, words are hard. And smelt only has one syllable, while climate change has three. Now, obviously, Trump supporters aren't just blaming fish for the wildfires. They're also going back to the hits.
Of course, we haven't even mentioned the idiotic DEI priorities that have infected the hiring of senior personnel throughout the state. She's the first female LGBTQ plus fire chief. putting her firefighters through DEI training.
