ATLANTA (AP) — Former President Jimmy Carter and former first lady Rosalynn Carter will not attend President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration. It marks the first time the couple, 96 and 93, will have missed the ceremonies since Carter was sworn in as the 39th president in 1977.

A spokeswoman at The Carter Center in Atlanta said the Carters have sent Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris their “best wishes” and “look forward to a successful administration.”

Biden was a young Delaware senator and Carter ally during the Georgian’s term in the White House.

Covid cooties keeping Jimmy in the basement.

Well that makes at least four of us then. 😴😴😴

[Brilliant]

I don’t blame them.

Jimmah can _smell_ a false flag.

Follow his lead and stay home.

[BenLurkin]

96 is old enough that travel under any circumstances would be difficult.

You would think Carter would do more to thank the man who will push him down the list to the third worst president.

Post of the day.
Stealing that,

[stanne]

Five. Count me in plus these two characters and Biden.

...though, Trump might sit back and watch a farce of a Biden inauguration
Actually, no, he would not attend. Ya so count Trump in.

Is it so people can tell them apart?

I am going to light fireworks on the day Jimmy Carter dies.

Jimmy knows this was a Stolen Election. He’s been very quiet about it, because he knows the fix is in, proper procedures and protocol be damned. He used to travel to South American countries to be the Whistleblower on sham elections just like this one.

The are OLD. Why go?

[ReelectTrump2020]

More like Fourth. Don’t forget that Kamala Harris will be president within a few months

[alloysteel]

Does Jimmy even come out of the basement all that often any more? Haven’t seen so much of him lately....

He has survived far beyond his years, in any instance.

“I am going to light fireworks on the day Jimmy Carter dies.”

Jimmy Carter was an inept and hapless fool, but he did not hate his country. I celebrated his fall from power, but I will not celebrate his death. That doesn’t mean I will honor him, but I’m not going to piss on his grave, either.

[Hieronymus]

Yes.

Carter is a lot of things, and while many of these are bad, and may of his principles are bad, not all of them are.

He likely would be a better neighbour than the Bushes.

One of the things he would never be, for many reasons, is CIA.

[Hieronymus]

A better man than McCain.

[OttawaFreeper]

It is probably more like fifth when you still keep LBJ at the top.

[Leep]

The Bidens?
