It seems that they were invited by Senator Lindsey Graham.

Senator Lindsey Graham has denied inviting them as stated in the link I posted.
He also denied inviting them in a CNN State of the Union interview on Sunday, Source.

Of course the truth is a rare thing today so anybody involved could be lying!

Generally speaking you don't need an invitation unless the services are private. In a case like this though, where the two were at odds with each other, it would have been appropriate to ask permission or simply stay away.

But this is fake news anyway. The McCains actually wanted the Trumps at the funeral so they could stir up more conflict in the fake news media.

Pretty much. And as said either above or on one of the sites I read - the people that already like Trump won't read this book anyway because they think he's doing a great job and the book is biased. Those that hate Trump will probably make it a best-seller.

Yes, here - in CH - if you know about the funeral and you want to go you show up.
Often it's said "wow, there were a lot of people" and "I didn't know half of them".
If you are not invited you will only join the ceremony.
You can even receive an obituary notice in your mail without being invited to the private part after the ceremony.

Trump interview with "The Daily Caller"

Trump really is a sandwich short of a picnic, maybe several sandwiches?

White House committee claiming official Government reports are wrong!

Kafkaesque, we live in weird times!!

Cut him some slack. He hasn't claimed responsibility for recovering Dorothy's slippers.

yet.

Hahahahah !

This is crazy town. An anonymous senior official in the White House just published an op-ed in the New York Times. Read it.

The fact that they considered invoking the 25 amendment is perhaps most shocking.

Well, whoever it was, it wasn't the person who writes Trump's tweets!

Wow, thats quite something I doubt I'll ever understand how you can support someone like this, people with no morals do not do moral things.

Shall we open a book? I reckon Mattis.

Book plus article will be forgotten within the month. More likely within two weeks, just like Fire and Fury. Watch.

It's a bit like in "Yes, Minister".

Except for Trump himself who will carry the pain and throw out random tweets of hurts for years to come!

Which reminds me, whatever happened to Trump's threats to remove people's security clearances?
Probably one of his aides removed the relevant papers from his desk?

One question going around is "was the oped by a senior Trump official the first act of a coup"? Was the mention of the 25th Amendment meant to be sign posting the way forward?

Which would leaves us with Pence as POTUS, in the worst for the next 10 years, which equals more of the same politics but with less of the crazy tweets and incoherent rambling.

Most of Trumps action and decisions are fully vetted and approved by the GOP. Just count the number of critical and negative comments from republicans on Supreme Court Nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

I doubt that there would be enough senior people taking part to make a success of a coup.
As you say Pence would hardly be a soft landing

The biggest risk I see is if Trump gets panicky, calls his base to arms and then people start shooting each other

I suspect he will present it as proof that there is a deep state which is working against him making America great again.

How many posts on this thread so far? Guess you're the only one feeling the butthurt.

If they get a move on with the 25th Amendment, Pence could be limited at worst to 6.25 years.
