Awkward: Mourners At Jimmy Carter Funeral Place Flowers On Biden
Babylon Bee ^ | 1-9-25 | Babylon Bee

The solemnity of former President Jimmy Carter's funeral was slightly marred earlier this morning when a few confused mourners accidentally placed flowers on Biden.

According to eyewitnesses, the mistaken mourners seem to have confused the dead former president with the unmoving, unblinking, statuesque Biden.

"There had been a line going up at the Cathedral to put flowers on Jimmy," said Vivian Glecker, a White House staffer. "And a few of the people in line accidentally stopped to start laying flowers on Biden instead. One of them even tried to close his eyes. It got really awkward after they split up into two lines, with one going to each president to pay their respects. It was touching, I guess, though it took Secret Service kind of a while to sort things out."

Reports from the Washington Cathedral state that the misunderstanding was eventually corrected, though Jill Biden had to be rescued from a partial avalanche of roses that had spilled over from the pile mounting atop Biden.

Trump will be made to appear in front of Judge Merchan , today the 10th of January.He will rule to prevent an appeal of the case to mis-brand the Trump presidency.The case is bogus.

I hope the country survives this kangaroo court show.
