I hope to talk to him.

Not that I expect TSF to win, but I could not bear him having ANYTHING to say about our beloved President Jimmy.

He'd probably get pressured into it for the sake of appearances, but he'd do it begrudgingly, with as little fanfare as possible. Because how dare ANYTHING not be all about HIM!

SO glad Biden will be in charge. (Not that that I expect TSF to win in November, because I really, really don't!)

A creature who had THREE wives and CHEATED ON EVERY F***ING ONE of them; a creature who is UNDER INDICTMENT on 80+ CRIMINAL counts; a creature who is an ADJUDGED RAPIST; a creature who advocates white supremacy and misogyny; a creature who NEVER set foot in a friggin' church unless there was profit for HIMSELF; a creature whose career and administration were ALL about self-enrichment---has NO RIGHT to speak ill about a MAN like James Earl Carter, Jr.

I trust him. And I DON’T trust the Orange Turd. Not any farther than I can throw my house.

Long after his time in office.

Many good things will be said of him.

Cross gently President Carter and join Rosalynn.

He is one incredible human being..................

he served in the US Navy Submarine Service and as the US President.
A life well lived.

What a sacrifice that must have been. And later served as a Georgia state senator and then as governor of his state, before being elected potus.

More on his naval career, with pics: https://www.history.navy.mil/browse-by-topic/people/presidents/carter.html

I has no idea there was a sub named after him. That's awesome!

I had the incredible privilege 10 years ago to sit with President Carter, one on one, and talk to him for twenty minutes. I really liked him before, but after that talk, I was totally enamored with the man and all he had done, and all he was doing for mankind..........

He will be missed....................................

Glad it was an inspiring conversation for you.

She was active in politics in their state and he was well known for other reasons so they got to host him. I didn’t know about it for years. They were like that. I did meet him at a book signing. What a fine man. May he cross easy.

There have be so many Presidents in my lifetime I would never want to meet. And those I would want to meet, I would not want to take their time away from doing their job. I'd want to have met them before or after they held that office. And I think before, as you had the privilege, would be best.

Rest well and pass gently though good and faithful servant to the United States of America and your God.

But unfortunately, this will likely take the focus off the Trump trial (he gets all the breaks). Whenever a former president passes there is wall to wall coverage until after the funeral service.

the juxtaposition will be undeniable.

We need it

A life well-lived, sir.

...born in 1979. I had hoped he'd hang on until October 1st - his 100th. If that is not to be, I hope he is pain free when his time comes.

The Carters were and are everything public servants should be...and then some. Godspeed, good sir.

An honorable man who served us honorably

Thanks

he so well deserved and has been unjustly under rated.

Much of the film was of Carter sitting in the back of a limousine speeding through an urban cityscape and being interviewed by the unseen cameraman. Ever since I saw that movie, there is one burning question I have wanted to ask him, and if I had ever had the opportunity to talk to him, this is the question I would have asked him:

"Mr. President, do you EVER have to actually STOP for a red light or a stop sign?"

Bless his noble heart, he is the most thoroughly decent human being to occupy that office in my lifetime.

Does anybody here remember the name of that movie? I'd like to watch it again.

-- Ron

is the title that flashed through my mind. But I really have no idea.

God rest Jimmy. He gave all.

What an incredible example he has been to us all.

Cross peacefully, President Carter. 🙏🏻
Your wonderful partner in life is waiting for you.

to ever be president.❤️

She also added, "he was too good to be president."
My mother and father were both dyed-in-the-wool republicans, my father an elected NYSJudge.
I damned near had a heart attack when she said that.

Fair winds and following seas, President Carter. We didn't deserve you or your sweet wife.

Jimmy and Joe are my two favorite living presidents.

Who made a deal with Iranians to hod the hostages until Reagan was sworn in.

I had the privilege of listening to one give speech in Boston and answer questions.

Then found out later Reagan flew my neighbor and his BIL all over the country to brag at taxpayers expense. I have despised bot Bush and Reagan ever since.

You were the 1st President I worked for as a Fed

To his family and friends

I just read that he voted in primary

And pay my respects to a great and humble man.

I'll miss ya Jimmy..

Well done good and faithful servant.

Could he be calling our attention to what determined decency looks like in the face of apathetic considerations and benefits of the doubt for self-interested conmen? I wouldn't put it past him.

Jimmy Carter, thou art character.

Much respect to him.

He's probably moving back and forth between sleep and coma.

There will be genuine grief when he goes.

Thank you Jimmy, you did well. See you later.

My all-time favorite president. What a good and decent man.

has always walked in Faith. A man who has helped people across the globe. An amazing man who will always be in our hearts. Proud to have voted for him . Proud to have met him. His legacy will live on.

his best work after serving. For that alone he has my respect.

a former Democratic President has passed. Lyndon Johnson in 1973.

The media has been kind to former Republicans in their memorials. What will they focus on with Carter?

The quote in the article is:

He has been in hospice, as you know, for almost a year and a half now, and he really is, I think, coming to the end that, as I’ve said before, there’s a part of this faith journey that is so important to him, and there’s a part of that faith journey that you only can live at the very end and I think he has been there in that space.”

He’s basically saying that Jimmy Carter is at the end of his life. Well yeah, he’s 99 and has been in hospice for over a year. But he’s not insinuating that he expects him to suddenly pass any day now, as the headline indicates.

You'll be missed

His life is a shining example for all of us to aspire to. God bless Jimmy. Thank you for your lead.

with his beloved wife ready to show him the ins and outs of the other side.

the most underrated president of my lifetime.

You were a great force for good.
Pass in peace.

was choosing this good man. I sincerely knew he was a man of character and respect. It really was a wake up call that the GOP was pure evil. If Reagun was the best they had to offer then fuck them! I was politically active in my late teens as were most of my friends/roommates in art school in NYC in 1980. We were glad when he was shot. I have I had the GOP on my radar back then. When my grandmom died she still had an invitation to Carter's Inaugural Parties from when she worked to support him. Her neighbors in FL couldn't stand to see her Dem Yard Signs. She loved to piss them off. I guess it is in my DNA.

And may we all be gracious in our memories of him and all he has done in his lifetime.

humanity in his old age, and still grows in grace and peace as he goes home.

His chariot will swing low and come forth to carry him home.

A band of angels coming after me
Coming for to carry me home

So I'll just say that the world will lose a great human being when he's gone. And I wish the best for his family.

yup

Sorry that you had the Republican Party working with Iran to deny you a 2nd term. That was my wake up call on Republicanism. It only got worse. But, you, Jimmy, had the character that makes me proud to say I am a Democrat.

Most will never understand how he saved 3 mile island from meltdown. He didn’t go visit as just the President he went as a nuclear engineer. Of the two Presidents and one VP I have interacted with personally without a doubt most humble. He kept in touch with his Navy and her sailors and we thought the world of him. Honor Courage and Commitment our core values he was the example in the book.

Ontario, Canada. He went inside the reactor. What a friend Canada has in Jimmy Carter.

I believe that even as I am not a religious man at all.

He stands out from the crowd!! Very happy that I voted for him twice!

And he's said he's hoping to vote in the November election which will be after his 100th birthday on October 1st.

Link to tweet

I think this statement has been misinterpreted and misunderstood---
to mean that his end is 'imminent'. I don't believe it is. He just cast a primary vote, the other day...

The statement that his grandson made pertained to 'spiritual' issues,
rather than the former president's physical health...
and was made at a public event, as opposed to being a 'press release' from the family....

As such I believe that Jimmy will be with us for a while longer,
and this 'story' is just click-bait.

...

A wonderful, kind and humble soul and greatly under-rated president. The world will be poorer with his passing.

Much too decent for a "successful" presidency, but his post-presidency remains unmatched
He will be missed

He needs to shut up. I hope Jimmy does not see that.

a blessing for us.

I think?

Unlike President Carter, you won't be missed.

I like in the old days when we could play with them for awhile.

Between you and me, a couple managed to stick around through the last few years.

if every politician/power operative on the planet were like him.

I found out about it way too late in life. Changed my opinion of Jimmy Carter
and Reagan.

He is an incredible and honorable man.

I wish him a peaceful and gentle passage.

What he has gone through is my worst nightmare when I come to the end of my life.
The point of living is to live and not to squeeze every last drop of life from a body even when there is no quality of life left.

Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush Sr, Clinton, Bush Jr., Obama, Trump, Biden

I feel kind of old looking at that list.

Johnson was president when I was born - notable actions include Civil Rights Act of 1964, along with Medicare/Medicaid.

Daughter is a Ford baby.

Please consider joining the Jimmy Carter Appreciation Society on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/groups/163742170693378

only the longing for those qualities will remain when he is gone.
Farewell gentle soul, you will be missed.

He's a good man.
