More like the 1930s and Adolph.

To his credit, Carter nailed that tennis court schedule. Nailed it!

I still laugh when I think about the killer rabbit episode w/Jimmy Carter ... ROFL!!!

Your assessments are simple and accurate, but left out the globalist Covid tool.

Malaise, you say?

A whole new level. Carter brought malaise to America. Biden said, “Hold my beer!”

At least when Carter was president, there was food on the shelves in the grocery stores and the only thing you wouldn’t be getting for Christmas was Star Wars action figures.

In a way I’m kinda happy Carter is still alive to witness his demotion from “Worst President Ever”. The old man can die in peace now.

In comparing Biden to Carter the Washington Post is attempting to boost Biden’s image.

Jim Carter was many things but he has an engineering degree was a Nuclear Naval officer by training and the governor of a major state. He did not use his office to enrich himself and his family.

If anything there are more differences with Carter than with any other dishonest, corrupt, immoral democratic president that we have had.

OK Carter was one of the worst presidents by many measures. But to put Biden is at a whole different level of incompetence, corruption and dishonesty.

Biden is NOT calling the shots. I wish people would stop implying or saying it. The guy does not know where he is or what he is supposed to say.

We are being destroyed by Obama in his third term. It is all Obama’s people doing this.

Not even close...Carter was naive, but he had much more honor than Biden, who has zero, zip, nada.

I was on active duty in Germany for the entirety of the Carter Administration. Twice, we started Octobers with delayed paychecks. I had married soldiers with kids scrambling to put food on the table while waiting for the budget impasse to conclude.

His was the administration that rushed putting women into positions previously limited to men, before facilities were ready to take women.

Carter was far more respected overseas than Biden, too. My German neighbors pleaded with me to vote for him, as they were sure Reagan would start WWIII. At the local gasthaus, I repeatedly put my reasons for Reagan, in their language as I was nearly starting my fifth year in Germany and could speak it fairly well.

The debate was over on Inauguration Day, when the Iranians released the hostages.

Carter never turned the police, the FBI, the IRS, etc… on citizens who didn’t vote for him.

All the “little people” at my former workplace - those that never bothered to acquire the skills necessary to move up - are bitterly complaining about the price of gas and food.

I ask one question: Who did you vote for? Biden and Newsom?

Then you need to look in the mirror to find out who’s at fault.

(they’ll never make the connection, they still believe the media that it’s all Trump’s fault).

And facism on the way to communism is being pushed by hidden hands through a puppet, a Trojan horse with dementia.

I would say that communism is the carrot being displayed for all the useful idiots and ironically named Antifa tools in order to achieve global fascism.

No, Biden is more like Brezhnev or Andropov. A dull geriatric party hack installed by the right cabal.

“We are being destroyed by Obama in his third term. It is all Obama’s people doing this.“

Entirely correct!

They even TOLD us so, indirectly, when Barry said he and Valjar were staying in DC because they had “unfinished business”…

Obama’s people, yes, but Obama wasn’t paying attention for a lot of his own presidency so I doubt he’s running things now. Look at the Democrats in Congress. They’re all marching in lockstep behind the administration. That’s where the party is now.
