No Bill Clinton either. I suppose Bush is there because he was Cheney's president and Biden is there because he's a former VP.

Biden and Cheney worked together in the Senate. For an invitation only event, I would not expected the Clintons and Cheneys would share space, voluntarily. Did Barack have any interaction with Cheney?

Obama was a senator while Cheney was VP, just like Biden was (Cheney was never a senator).

Past presidents and politicians of both parties will gather Thursday in Washington, DC, for former Vice President Dick Cheney's funeral — sending off a key figure of pre-MAGA Republican politics.

But neither President Donald Trump nor Vice President JD Vance were invited to Cheney's funeral

Biden looks so diminished. Poor guy.

If you had told me this before 2021 I wouldn't have believe it...

We don't have a whole lot of recent precedent here we can look at. The last VP to die who wasn't also a president was Walter Mondale in 2021, and he didn't have a state funeral because of the pandemic. Before that you have to go back to Agnew in 1996 (whose funeral was a low-key affair) and then Rockefeller in 1979. So maybe presidents are not expected to attend the funeral of VPs other than their own.

They were invited. Clintons said they had an unavoidable conflict. Obamas gave no reason.

Remember that tattoo that supposedly meant Pete Hegseth is a white supremacist?
It was on display on a board at Cheney's funeral.
