And if not for the Covid pandemic, I think they would all be there.

If they each want to go, they'll go. I imagine it will be most difficult for President Carter, but I imagine the others will attend.

I thought they would need an invitation from Mr. Floyd's family who probably may not think of inviting them.

Remember, neither tRump or Sarah Palin was invited to John McCain's funeral.

I don’t want a 95-year-old going to a funeral during a pandemic. Probably not a good idea for the rest of them, too, but especially not Jimmy Carter.

They have the resources. Not necessarily thier own, but through friends. Private plane, car pickup with barrier, staying in grouos of their family only -- perhaps with oainted white circles such as those at parks. And other older and at risk people could also be invited into their own circles.

the only problem is the right wingers would bitch and moan and say we were politicizing a death like they did to us with the Sen. Paul Wellstone funeral

To show what a President is suppose to do and sound like. That would really send the little orange turd off the deep end a little farther.

He does not need to take any chances with the virus. Perhaps some words virtually.
