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....
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
