5000th post - Congrats😀

And what a perfect post for my 5000th. He was someone I admired from day one.

You’ll remember this one
😀

Been a devoted Democrat ever since.

President Carter was a good man. With the exception of maybe Eisenhower, he was light years ahead of every republican president in my lifetime and he set standards for his successors.

His life post-presidency is a model of modesty and good works. Few come close to his beneficence.

The United States was blessed by his term in office.

Rest peacefully, sir.

I was too young in 76 but got to vote in 80. I was angry when Reagan won. I knew what was coming, and what we lost.

Voted against Nixon the next year. The results were not satisfactory.
Voted for Jimmy the next time. Never regretted it!
"Good night, sweet prince. May flights of angels sing thee to thy rest."

It was his re-election campaign. I have no regrets.

In 1976, I was 19. St. Ronnie should be burning in hell for what he did to Carter with the hostage crisis. The manipulation was so obvious even then but Reagan was a “hero”.

If it wasn't for the Iranian BS he would have been a (2) term-er.
If the hostage rescue mission had succeeded the U.S. would
be in a completely different situation right now. That failure
was not his fault.

I was just listening to NPR and they were saying he was the only white kid in his hometown. He was ambitious but pride was frowned upon as part of his religion. He figured if he could get in a position of power he would do the right thing. Anything good or positive in this world Republicans tear it down. Much like the solar panels on the White House. Republicans are evil.

"The threat is nearly invisible in ordinary ways. It is a crisis of confidence. It is a crisis that strikes at the very heart and soul and spirit of our national will. We can see this crisis in the growing doubt about the meaning of our own lives and in the loss of a unity of purpose for our nation."

Carter was prescient about many important issues, but like Casandra, his prophecies were ignored

We have common interests, but no common purpose.

by a Trump**-like deity. Apollo had the hots for her, and gave her the gift of prophecy. When she turned him down for sex, he couldn't take away what he had given, so the next best revenge was to insure that no one would ever believe her. So that's what he did. Or so the story goes.

I'm not sure he needed to - humans are already pretty good at ignoring predictions they don't like.

And, I'm inclined to agree with Keith.

Thanks for this

My guess is that they are not friends😂😂

My guess is that he's not friends with most of the people at MSNBC.

MEEEOOOOWWWW!!!

😂😀😂

A true patriot and upholder of our constitution.

Carter was the best person to ever be president and outshines the others post presidency by like 10000%. He gave his all to help the world, it's the best epitath possible!

He lived his faith like few ever have. What a wonderful place this world would be if he was the rule, not the exception.

He restored my faith in voting and fighting for my values he worked and showed his ethics and love for this country for all to see. He was my hero and a great President. May he rest in Peace.

for that and all his other qualities.

just sayin'

The problem is when people claim to be Christians to prey on others

This post nails it

I just wish more folk would behave in a decent manner without expecting some kind of reward in the end.

He was foremost an intelligent, considerate human being.

He brought those to the job.

The inclination of some is to assume the title of POTUS magically endows the wearer of the crown with those virtues.
That is so wrong.
The job simply amplifies who you are to start with.

RIP Jimmy.

President Biden will eulogize Gallant President Carter.

Then we swear in Goofus.

Oh Davey.

I know that I have the patience of a saint for teaching 1st graders for over 15 years but Jimmy beats me in the "canonization" dept hands down.

and I too am an atheist
