RIP Jimmy Carter

[73Seahawks]

I shouldn’t be so hard on the young’ns…

Carter faced headwinds from the get go. He didn’t really have a mandate as he had a modest win over Ford. Took over during the highest inflation due the Arab embargo’s in the early 70’s. Add in the above inter-party scuffles, Afghanistan situation, Iranian Hostage crisis, Three Mile Island at home, and the malaise that stagflation and a perceived weakness internationally, the country was ripe for a true leader.

As to the nattering nabobs of negativity above…I’ll say this. President Carter was the worst president of my lifetime. As a president, not as a man. Luckily for him, every democrat since has lowered the bar. Biden now holds the mantle of worst president, not only of my lifetime but ever.

Only Democratic Presidents to have won two full four-year terms in the post-FDR era:
*William Jefferson Clinton (1992, 1996): Never got 50% of the nationwide vote: Won with 43% in 1992 and reelected with 49% in 1996.
*Barack Hussein Obama, Jr., (2008, 2012): Won with 53% in 2008 and reelected with 51% in 2012.

Based on what?

Melania has already said she intends to stay in NYC.

She never did want to be First Lady.

Even you can see Biden has been a better president than Trump was.

Even W was a better president than Trump.

Or, perhaps, you truly are the embodiment of clueless and aren't aware enough to understand even that much about yourself.

Pot meet kettle. He possessed enough understanding to bring up the article and apply it to users here. So, there is that cognitive ability.

I see that you're not able to apply it to you.

 

[dmallord]

I agree with this

To call a scumbag a scumbag is THE RIGHT THING TO DO

The author of the piece you shared stated that some critiqued his harsh and rapid-release article castigating President Carter so soon after his death. He also stated that he didn't understand why they did so.

It isn't hard to understand why if you have any sense of decency or sympathy for a person's family while they grieve.

He wrote the article and published it while the subject was a hot button. He chose to do so, apparently unaware that it was socially unacceptable by most of his readers.

What rock did he live under for so long as a writer and human being?

 

[dmallord]

Oooooooooh!
Someone gotta dictionary under their tree this past Christmas!

No rightguide got that word from watching CNN's Georgia trials for Trump et al. He liked the outcome so much the word, mendacious, is now on his favorites list.

You shouldn't be bragging.
You had the advantage of the short bus taking you to-and-from public schools that could handle your autism spectrum disorder for years.
Canada doesn't have any short busses.

I suspect Lance, for all of his many flaws, earns a higher income and dates higher quality women than you do.

Pure speculation and subject to a full disclosure inspection similar to investigating a nation's possession of nuclear materials should lay this subject to rest.

Neither individual should be credited with such bragging points beforehand.

In life I call out those who work evil against their fellow man. I may act against them by spurning their company and doing business with their competitors. I may post the truth regarding their behavior and beliefs. And I cannot be punished by either man or the law for doing so.

Upon death, that power is denied to all honorable men.

You're not dead yet so you are fair game. That you cannot stand the heat that results from your friction against mankind, is all on you. My soul (as Mr. MorningStar can attest to his utter chagrin) is unstained by calling out your meritless antics and behavior.

In conclusion, Derpy is a derp and will continue to be so for all living creatures.

Yeah, snide remarks get you clicks. Gotta take pleasure in that, Amirite?

Let's not forget about Torrijos taking great joy in humiliating the deposed Shah at the hospital and giving him the so-called "lecture".

I don't specifically recall that but it certainly seems 'on brand' for Torrijos....and Noriega was much, much worse.

 

[RobDownSouth]

That's Abbott fully up to date with current affairs.

I suspect that Governor Hotwheels Hitler, like most contemporary politicians, had speechwriters create pre-written sympathy/condolence tweets and messages to anyone of advanced age. He just failed to keep them updated.

Of course, it could be worse, I recall Senator Ted Cruz has a generic "thoughts and prayers" template ready to go for school shootings.....

President Carter was the first Democrat to get my vote. His legacy is remarkable!!! Humble. Inspirational. Selfless. A man of immense integrity.

Reagan on Carter​

I must tell you, Mr. President, that your countrymen have vivid memories of your time in the White House still. They see you working in the Oval Office at your desk with an air of intense concentration, repairing to a quiet place to receive the latest word on the hostages you did so much to free, or studying in your hideaway office for the meeting at Camp David that would mark such a breakthrough for peace in the Middle East. Others will speak today, Mr. President, of all phases of your political career and your policies. For myself, I can pay you no higher honor than to say simply this: You gave of yourself to this country, gracing the White House with your passion and intellect and commitment. And now you have become a permanent part of that grand old house, so rich in tradition, that belongs to us all. For that, Mr. President, I thank you, and your country thanks you.

All sins are forgiven upon death. Until that point one may righteously expound their views of a man's character but once death arrives, all sins are forgiven.

Those who refuse to follow that credo only heap more sins upon themselves.

So when Hitler put himself down all was forgiven and his sins washed away?

I don't care if he's dead, I still want to IMPEACH NIXON!

History has spoken about the presidency of President Carter. Give the man his due in death. It’s bad form, IMO, to pile on at this point.

The focus now, and forever going forward, is make sure Pudd’n Head Biden assumes the mantle of worst president ever. Personally I don’t think the legacy of President Carter has any worries in that regard.
