how wrinkled will the flag on the casket be? hopefully very wrinkled ;-)
i would be fine with the casket covered with a freshly pressed and ironed kekistan flag
Hmm, they covered up / removed the American flag. Now there is a pall on top of the casket.
Grok's take:
"What we are seeing on Dick Cheney’s casket inside Washington National Cathedral right now is a white funeral pall (the traditional Christian/Episcopal cloth with a red-and-gold embroidered cross) placed on top of the casket.
This is highly unusual for a former vice president receiving full military honors."
EDIT: They did the same thing for Collin Powell who was secretary of state when Dick Cheney was VP

Powell's view on invading Iraq:
Powell privately warned Bush that invading Iraq would be disastrous ("You break it, you own it" — the "Pottery Barn rule").
Yet he publicly made the administration’s case for war in his infamous February 2003 UN speech (citing flawed intelligence on WMDs, much of it pushed by Cheney’s office).
Powell later called the speech a permanent "blot" on his record and felt manipulated by Cheney and the neoconservatives.
Later Years
The feud continued publicly:In memoirs and interviews, they traded criticisms (e.g., Powell called Cheney’s post-9/11 views extreme; Cheney said Powell complained behind his back but never directly opposed the war). Leaked emails from Powell in 2016 referred to Dick and Liz Cheney as "idiots."
A 2020 book by James Mann, The Great Rift: Dick Cheney, Colin Powell, and the Broken Friendship That Defined an Era, chronicles their 40-year relationship as the central lens for understanding post-Cold War U.S. foreign policy debates.
When I tuned in there was no flag on his coffin, just the pall..
As the coffin left the church and put in the hearse, it was draped in an American flag. It was too far from the camera to see if it was wrinkled though.
Hope that shit was PROPERLY wrinkled....
IT WAS...I would guarantee that and then some!!!!!! Cheney was not like by most military people!!!!! Just an FYI!!!!!
How many people who called him worse than a Nazi were solemnly at his funeral?
You mean the blanket
I hope they drop the casket
I hope just they seal it well & bury it deep
He's in the Pit of Fire...🔥🔥🔥
The blanket was wrinkled

Will we some letters passed out again?
Came here to say this qa! ✉️💥
lmao
That's the only circumstance in which I'd be interested in watching that turd get buried.
When ever one of these neo-con warmongers dies, my thoughts drift to Hilaire Belloc:
"Here richly,
with ridiculous display,
The Politician's corpse was laid away.
While all of his acquaintance sneered and slanged,
I wept:
for I had longed to see him hanged".
I'd rather have a double colonoscopy then watch that.
One thing for sure though is he'll be 6' closer to his eternal resting place...
He should go down in history as one of our greatest traitors.
Let me know if someone pisses on his casket and I'll watch it later for the keks
I'd pay to watch that!
War criminal celebration???
..and you get an envelope!, and you get an envelope!, and you get an envelope!...
Coffin is trapped with a tan and red cross covering and it's very wrinkled...
That’s what exactly the blanket was wrinkled
He was an evil man and they are treating him like a god, all the Democrats at the funeral, Little Jamie Raskin there what a show.
Pfft
I don't see Obozo and Big Mike? They aren't attending?
Probably on another book tour. Kek!
No thanks
That’s a really wrinkly pall on his casket.
Why don't they just grab the Clintons while they are there?
HRC was already swapped out long ago during Trump's first term.
Beautiful Hillary 😸
Tell that to Congress
I’m watching now..
4:40- Biden playing with his phone, showed us the screen..can anyone make out what it was?
Kamala looks happy, talked to Jill and Mike Pence. Bush sits like a normal straight guy with socks showing like a slob. Is this sign of disrespect? 😂 Brandon still wondering why no note fell out of booklet. Where the Clintons at? Obummer? Kamala still trying decipher that booklet..They’re just joking, talking.. maybe they’re glad Boss Trump isn’t there lol
I just want POTUS to fix the country. The people there, they’re already finished , just retire quietly and never do any evil again and leave us alone and I’ll be satisfied.
I noticed Bush's socks too kek
Heard it's gonna be a REAL BLAST!!!! 💥💥💥💥💥
u/#catdance
No thanks.
whats the pitch on the casket they will use to screw him into the ground??
Will the American flag be wrinkled?
That was my first question when I saw the title.😁
Editing, just saw them walking the casket down the aisle, no American Flag, looks like a Cross flag or something, can't quite make it out.
Edit 2, there was an American flag as the casket was brought out of the hearse but switched out before coming down the aisle, strange, wonder why.
Saw that. UNPRECEDENTED!
GROK:
Placing any other flag (foreign, state, organizational, or otherwise) on top of the American flag draped over a casket during an official U.S. vice presidential (or presidential) funeral would be highly improper and essentially unprecedented.
Here's why, based on established protocol and the U.S. Flag Code (4 U.S.C. § 7–8):
The American flag is the sole flag used to drape the casket in state or official funerals for presidents, vice presidents, and other high federal officials. It is positioned with the union (stars) over the left shoulder, and nothing is ever placed on top of it — not flowers, medals, photos, or another flag. This is explicit in military and funeral honor guard protocols: the draped U.S. flag is the highest honor and must remain uncovered.
The broader U.S. Flag Code states that no other flag or pennant should be placed above or, if on the same level, to the right of the U.S. flag. Placing anything over it (including another flag) is considered a grave breach of etiquette, symbolizing subordination of the national flag. In military/veteran funerals (which VP funerals follow closely), the same rule applies: the casket flag is sacred, and even "Thin Blue/Red Line" variants or departmental flags are not placed over the U.S. flag if it is used.
Historical precedent:
In all modern presidential and vice presidential funerals (e.g., Reagan, Ford, Bush 41, Carter in 2025), the casket was draped only in the American flag during official portions — no overlays.
I had to argue with Grok claiming there is no pall on the casket
Finally uploaded a picture of the pall and Grok finally agreed
"What we are seeing on Dick Cheney’s casket inside Washington National Cathedral right now is a white funeral pall (the traditional Christian/Episcopal cloth with a red-and-gold embroidered cross) placed directly on top of the American flag.
This is highly unusual for a former vice president receiving full military honors."
I didn't realize the flag was UNDER that pall, wth?😲😤😡
I thought it was but apparently they removed the American flag first, then put it back on after the casket was taken outside.
Yes! Many important Questions...
I fast forwarded through this thing. Just trying to see the flag or any other unusual events. I did notice one thing right before the broadcast ended. The honor guard was still at attention and the clergy were still there as well as the hurst with the casket and an elderly lady went quickly pushing an elderly man in a wheel chair through the shot. I don't know that it means anything but it struck me as really weird. It wasn't like there were a bunch of people streaming out of the church or anything. Just odd....
Yeah the wheel chair guy was strange. If it has any meaning it's probably directed to the bad guys.
Nothing of value was lost
Huh, I thought he died last year. Mandela effect anyone else?
They should have covered the casket with Black and Red to go with the colors where he is going!
