Oh absolutely right you are my friend, had to laugh about the cameras and the urinal - I enjoyed one of your replies below - Royalty Shomalty! But Obama's presence did lend decorum to the event. Blessings, Jennifer.

Dignified, angry, divided, torn, winners, losers, laughing, fretful, fighters, liars, in the score. Question is how many hear and meditate on the scriptures, hear God personally speaking to them, turn up the volume, hear about at least “the truthteller,” whether or not of the same political affiliation. America’s royal family gathers, dysfunctional - yes.

Dysfunctional, to say the least. I think that Tom c. will verify that it ain't any better on the other side of the pond, either. Royalty, Shmoyalty. ~ Gershon

Many people wants to be before the camera not interested to do anything behind it.But they will not like camera coverage while in the urinal.

lol. You never know what you would see there but it was an awkward moment for those in the first three rolls. Trump talking to Obama, Pence showing discontent toward Trump. Kamala feeling as a failure not looking over at Trump, Hillary looking scornful, and Bill Clinton pretending like everything is ok, And Al Gore (Igore as Rush Limbaugh use to call him sitting alone the forgotten) pondering his climate change warnings to the world flying in his private jet, lol...

Agreement here, Michael... And Kim: I too enjoyed seeing DJT and Obama letting their hair down a bit there. Sparks of humanity ~ Gershon

It was something to see! Oh boy! Did they even realize that that the eyes of the world are on them? Many of them sulking, not at all at peace, not unified. Loved seeing an honest moment of laughter between Obama and Trump. Oh if only all could get along, be honest, etc…
