Carter and Biden have something in common other than having been horrible Presidents. Both belong in hospice care except Biden is too senile to realize it

The good die young.

The dim witted post platitudes.

But I’m wondering if she still could’ve made it through. Anyways, all these what IFs go through your head constantly.

Yeah. Sometimes there is no "right" decision. We do the best we can with what we've got and what we know at the time. The best we can doesn't always feel like the best we could have if we'd only known.

Forgiving ourselves for not doing enough, when at the time it was the best we could do, seems impossibly difficult.

Both belong in hospice care except Biden is too senile to realize it and his "loved ones" too evil and ruthless to allow him the relief and the care he needs

[Vigilanteman]

Ease up on yourself. I had a similar decision with my Mom on whether I should put a feeding tube in her, let nature take its course or feed her through an IV drip. This was in her last week of life and she shortly lost the ability to communicate with me. Since he had made me promise no feeding tube and I did not have the heart to allow her to starve herself to death, I opted for the IV.

It was a tough decision at the time, but I know now that I did the right thing, more than nine years later.

Generally, but I don’t for a minute think Biden is your
regular run of the mill Hospice patient.

That was leaked to get him brownie points. He’s been
very good at that sort of thing over the years.

As others have said, I believe he’s getting the best care
our tax dollars can buy.

The Left idolizes him. They’ll throw him a gosh over the
top send off that would gag a maggot.

Adenochrome?or perhaps he is dead and their waiting for an opportune time to have a big celebration of life. .

never let a crisis go by without using it somehow.

1976 - Carter ran against Ford. I cried that night as they announced Carter won.

Reagan won in 1980 and in 1984. long lines both times.

[wardaddy]

What’s silly about honesty

You have been all that stalwart gop since the placenta era but plenty given average age here likely supported Carter in 76

Folksy bullshit plus the difference tween GOP and dems was more blurry then

Plenty mostly southern Dems were more culture right than the Rockefeller Gop

Think Sam nunn or scoop Jackson

Course all but the stupidest learned from his disastrous term

Times were different

Id bet at least 25% here voted Carter in 76

With a cliff dive from that in same group in 1980

The irony is this election conservatives of whatever niche via Trumps new brand and realignment may actually give control to our side of the GOPe

Reagan tried but bush part one snatched it back in 88 sadly

[wardaddy]

I turned 18 in 75

Not as smart as u till 1980 election

[wardaddy]

Same here

[LeonardFMason]

He must think he is a Senator. As if dying as a Senator has some virtue.

Like Ted Kennedy, The Hanoi Songbird(McCain), an Diane Feinstein.

[Disambiguator]

He just has a case of malaise.

[wardaddy]

Me too same exactly

Our family was divided

Goldwater daddy voted Ford

Me and mom Carter

Divided bumper stickers lol

“Lust in my heart”

Hell I had lust there and elsewhere

Reagan not only challenged Ford for the GOP nomination in 1976, he previously had run against Nixon in the open 1968 GOP primary.

One of my high school pals and I snuck into the Anaheim Convention Center and saw Reagan and Nixon appearing at an event there. “Security” was lax enough that a couple of teenage yokels were able to wander loose among the $1,000 donors. We didn’t stick around long enough to get caught.
