1. I wouldn't be so sure about TSF getting the full "Forgiven for all," State Funeral experience...

Cheney had been gone from public office 17 years and was little heard from (except to join Liz and the Dems to commemorate those lost on Jan 6--the only two leading R's who did). So, that is foremost in the minds of younger people who thought about him at all. Trump will not have the luxury of temporal "amnesia." I'd bet he may well go in the next couple of years, and if he does, I sincerely doubt even an attempt at a state funeral will drown out the voices of those he harmed.
