I have seen no acknowledgement of the death of James Earl Carter, Former president of the United States. Jimmy, as he was known, was a much more influential president than is often claimed. He may not have been our best president in History but he was, by all means, the most honest and decent one.

Jimmy, sometimes irreverently called "peanuts", was a devout Baptist Christian. That does not disqualify him from my own list of truly admirable men.  He was 100 years old. RIP Jimmy.

I've seen where people have been bringing shame, but I can't be bothered to look at what they're bringing, it's ancient history. Just look at what subsequent specimens have wrought.  :(

I remember when the American electorate chose Ronald fer-gawds-sakes Reagan over Carter. To me it was a firm indication that numbskulls outnumber thinking people.

In just about anything you care to think of Carter was the opposite of the current president-elect. The red hats despise Carter for that, which says a lot about what they value.

And the chump's ghost writers wrote a nice letter of condolences. The MAGAts are in a frenzy over it, of course.  :)  Abbot, governor of Texas, sent a letter of condolences to Jimmy's deceased (died in 2023) wife.

I saw it in the local papers.

I don't know much beyond the name and title, as he was president before my time, but I do know that tripple digits is a very good run for a human, and having been the president of the United States by itself gives a person claim to having lived a full life.

RIP.

I think that he was the second worst American president. His legacy is one of economic misery at home and embarrassment on the world stage. With an unemployment rate of 7.5 percent and a staggering 13.5 percent inflation rate, it is no wonder that he was voted out of office.
