Clinton or Biden next?
Should we start a Deadpool?
Yeah, he didn't get one and Karen Pence did. LOFL at the idea of Immanuel Christian School art teacher Karen Pence, as head of the cabal...
...he’s the idiot who knocked over the apple cart in the Middle East starting the dominoes falling to radical Islam in 1978 when he surrendered on “Real Politik” for the political dystopia that we are all living in today. Thanks Jimmy!
“In August 2015, Carter had a small cancerous mass removed from his liver. The following year, Carter announced that he needed no further treatment, as an experimental drug had eliminated any sign of cancer.””
Makes you wonder if they really DO have cures for cancer that are reserved for “the establishment”
I dont think theres so many 90 years fully recovering from cancer like he did.
Every drop of US military blood shed in the Middle East is one of his crimes. I know his judge won’t be happy with that.
The guy is 98. That’s a good run.
Get ready for a week of “royal funeral” level stuff.
He can die in peace knowing Biden is now made Jimmy no longer the worst president ever.
I don’t think so, for some reason even the Democrats have distanced somewhat from Carter.
It wasn’t my first vote but certainly the first for a democrat - couldn’t vote for Ford. Don’t recall details now but something to do with the Mayaguez ship and Cambodia. Ford didn’t know where Cambodia was...spoke as incoherently as Kamala does today.
Ford also screwed up on the Swine Flu vaccine.
>>
I’m sure the DNC will waste no time to use this as a deflection of their policies.<<
They will find a way to blame Trump.
Yes. He totally supported chicoms.
Screwed over Taiwan.
As bad as he was, he was nothing compared to OTrauma and Biden.
In military fitness reports, that was called "damning with faint praise".
I never liked Carter. Ever. I had the choice between Carter and Ford in my first opportunity to vote, and it wasn't difficult to make that choice.
I viewed Carter as petty, vindictive, smarmy, and incompetent.
I viewed his actions leading up to The Iran Hostage affair as contributory to that, particularly in his treatment of the Shah. For that same reason, I blame much of the turmoil we see to this day on Carter's actions as President. He helped set the stage.
I give him credit for serving in the military, and the only other thing I give him credit for is one of his greatest failures, Operation Eagle Claw. But that was too little too late, and I am still not convinced he wanted to do the right thing as opposed to being painted as a bumbling incompetent during an election year in which he fervently wished to be re-elected. But it did have long-reaching positive effects in that failure, in that our military fully and finally understood that we needed to improve interoperability in inter-service military operations and communications.
As someone who served in the Navy all during his tenure, I saw firsthand the effects of his Presidential oversight. We didn't have enough money to steam or fly as much as we should have. Every aviation squadron had one hangar queen, and there were times some of us nearly had two. One was bad enough.
On my first deployment in 1976, they sent us to the North Atlantic above the Arctic Circle, and our only cold weather gear consisted of foul weather jackets that were rated to only as low as 40 degrees. We resorted to stuffing our shirts with clean rags that we got in bales that were intended to be used for cleaning airplanes with. Even now, I recall the when we got a new bale of rags delivered to us, we would tear it apart with a fervency that rivaled women trying on clothes in Filene's Basement in order to find the rags best suited to provide warmth. It was on that cruise that I experimented in earnest to determine just how much I could immerse myself in the jet exhaust of a plane before it became wholly too hot or I was in imminent danger of being blown off my feet.
That mismanagement of the military (even though I know much is attributed to a post-Vietnam mindset) stuck in my craw then, even as it does now.
I have always viewed Jimmy Carter and his ilk as virtue signalers before there was even a name for it.
Before Jimmy Carter, nearly every President who left the office steadfastly remained silent on the actions of any current President. It was thought they fully understood the strain of the office, and recognized any intrusion on their part would simply make the job of the current President harder.
As far as I am concerned, he was the pioneer in breaking that well-considered unspoken rule, and as a result, all other living Presidents freely insert themselves into current affairs.
But he was not, as far as I could tell, a corrupt man, a grifter in the mold of what we often see now, first out in the open in the Clinton Presidency, but weaponized and epitomized in the Presidency of Joseph Robinette Biden.
And I do believe he had genuine Christian beliefs.
So, it is in this light, I will pray for a quick and comfortable hospice, and that he is judged fairly by God when he passes. In my own life, I am trying to be a better Christian, and I can start with this.
Now what do you suppose THAT meant?
“”He made peace between Sadat and Begin””
I did overlook that...thanks for the reminder. THAT was a BIG THING.
I’ll go for the “if any”....I don’t think there are any - certainly not like Zell Miller. There does seem to be some awakening among a couple dems from TX districts who realize what is being done or not being done down there at the border and aren’t afraid to speak up. Good for them. Maybe they’ll get totally fed up and switch alliances.
Has everyone forgotten this man was an anti-Semite, not the kind of anti-Semite: "Oh, the bank won't give me a loan.", but the actual kind of anti-Semite: "Joooooooooz! They run the world! Menachem won't dance my puppet dance because he was a terrorist!"
Has everyone forgotten this man told f'd up lies he libeled Reagan with? Before and after the election?
Has everyone forgotten the #MSM tried to paper Carter's lies over with the cover of Peanuthead being a 'Sunday School teacher at Marantha Baptist Church'?
And people think this guy is going to heaven? You know what the best part of this story is? His buddy Sam Donaldson moves up to the top slot on Celebrity Deathwatch.
RIH, Peanuthead.
YUP!
