Agree; I thought and still think that he was a sanctimonious liar, a total incompetent and while he is somewhat of an improvement over Biden, that is like saying that fast food is better than no food. One of his Secret service guards wrote a book in the 1980s about what a public/private phony he was - banning liquor at the White House then toking up on it behind closed doors, carrying his own luggage while he was seen by the cameras in public then dumping it on his guards when they walked into private spaces. In 2016 he said that Trump was not duly elected as President so he’s been a loyal soldier of Hillary Clinton and her attempt to ruin the Trump presidency through a pack of lies. I remember this goof for long gas lines, remarkably high inflation and interest rates, the abandonment of Iran, the Department of Education, amnesty for draft dodgers (his first official act), high unemployment. And he has been in hospice for longer than anyone I can remember - he gets press attention this way and it resurrects the “but he was a good man” mantra that so many want to propagate.
Very well said. You brought up a slew of things that many people have forgotten, but should never forget about Jimmy Carter. The media protected him like they’ve protected every RAT President for decades.
I thought we later learned that the luggage he carried (to seem like a regular Joe) turned out to be empty!
In addition I remember him and his assistant Andy Young as being viciously anti-Israel and an obstacle to peace in the Middle East.
Also it is fortunate that he admitted to "conscupience" (strong sexual desire) back during the 1976 election campaign. This was in the early years of the sexual revolution and was possibly done to make him appear human for that era. If he admitted that now, the feminists would declare him a rapist.
