The casket of former Sen. Bob Dole arrived at the US Capitol Thursday morning ahead of a ceremony at which President Biden will lead tributes to his longtime colleague.

Biden’s motorcade arrived outside the Capitol shortly after the hearse carrying Dole’s casket draped with the American flag. Black draperies hung on doorways under the Capitol dome in preparation for the service. About 100 chairs were set up in the Rotunda, socially distanced for COVID-19 protocols.

The president and first lady entered the Rotunda at 10:04 a.m., following Vice President Kamala Harris, second gentleman Doug Emhoff, and congressional leadership.

Yep, more lies from a guy whose entire life is a lie or borrowed from someone else.

Dole was something no one in DC is these days: an honorable man.

Seeing her kneel at the casket, I feel sad for Libby. RIP, American.

I’m sure Dole was an honorable man but I would have preferred Buchanan for President in 96.

I watch the service. Don’t believe I heard Biden mention Eliabeth and Robin in his speech.

But at least he didn’t mention Beau.

I had things I politically disagreed with Bob Dole on, and I viewed his 1996 run as payback for years of good conformance in the party.

But I admired him for his honorable military service and felt much compassion for the terrible, terrible war injuries he suffered and the years of rehabilitation that followed.

I also liked that he was able to poke fun at himself, something that doesn’t get enough traction.

All in all, may he Rest in Peace, because he sure does deserve some peace.

The Rats just use Dole the same way they now laughably use Ronald Reagan and George HW Bush (and shortly, George W. Bush) and want everyone to forget the years of abuse and vituperation they heaped on all of them, and they do so for the sole purpose...and with full malignant intent of trying to portray just how terrible Donald Trump is.

All those Republicans are just tools for their partisan destruction of this nation.

10% and more today—corn produced ethanol. Corn grown with fertilizer made from.... imported crude oil. Energy “independence”. The Corn Lobby. The whiskey lobby, and all the industries involved. Churn, churn, churn.

Ethanol— grain alcohol which destroys small engines. Not cellulose based methanol made from plant cellulose fiber.

Corn prices linked to imported oil to expend more energy to make ‘renewable’ ethanol as fuel.

Inside the Beltway, with JoeBama as his “friend” eulogizing. What an end.

An honorable man, like thousands of WWII veterans of a generation. Worked and manipulated by the dishonorable criminal demonrat machine for over 50 years. A pox on all of them and their patron saint FDR and before that Woodrow Wilson.

AWKWARD, SHADE WAR:

Joe Biden Refuses to acknowledge Kamala as he walks right past her in US Capitol. Then Joe asks Jill to SWITCH SEATS so he won’t be close to VP. Neither make eye contact as Joe looks AT THE CEILING and Kamala looks at the floor.
