Former President Carter

[Moonglow]

Carter was the only president to allow federal marijuana to be mailed to medical patients.

Trump refused to attend Biden’s inauguration and snuck out of town

Well, attending would have required grace, maturity and dignity.

 

[Auld Phart]

During his presidency, Trump reported over $1.6 billion of outside revenue and income from his companies, including the Trump Organization.

Already I've seen the usual lies about Carter from conservatives, but they don't know anything about the man, just like they don't know anything about the man who replaced him.

You want to learn just how good he actually was as a President, you can watch this, and remember, he was so far ahead of his time that if he were elected in 2024 instead of 1976 he would still be ahead of the times.

He was preaching conservation instead of consumption, and he was crucified for this by conservatives. It's not hard to figure out why.

I want those who are corrupt aholes to boycott the inauguration. It outs them.

What does corruption mean?

Define it.

 

[JWBooth]

won't be at Trumps inauguration,

but NOT because he doesn't want to.

He's been in Hospice for 2 years due to his cancer problems.

at least he has the balls to say he would be there and not snubbing the newly elected president.

How many are going to snub him?

Jimmy Carter to skip Trump inauguration due to declining health but would go if he could

This will be the second inauguration missed by the 100-year-old former president. Other living ex-presidents have yet to announce their plans.

Carter has been a living cadaver for a while. It was elder abuse when they wheeled him out for his birthday. Leave him be.

Biden appreciates the need to convey a peaceful transition of power.
Trump acted like a crybaby loser and stormed off in a tantrum

Trump is a crybaby loser, but he happened to get re-elected because Democrats are so pitiful he was actually a better option to a majority of Americans.

Yeah...
Jimmy was a kind and soft hearted guy. Very well known for helping anyone and everyone. He pissed away his money he rightfully earned by honest work with giving it away. His lifetime salary for being a president is his sole source of income and medical care. The SS detail keeps his place secure in the middle of Redneck central.

I know people get upset over his political career and rightfully so. He was a puppet used by so many because his savvy about what was really going on was extremely limited...which is why Rosalind was right there in all the meetings. She was his biggest help but she was not much better than he in all of it.

Trump is the bitch who snubs people and processions.

Au contraire. Actually, its people like the Bushes and McCains who banned President Trump from their funerals.

 

[Polishprince]

Biden will be there

Trump refused to attend Biden’s inauguration and snuck out of town

If Biden is there- and I'm not as sure as you he will be , after all, he called Trump "hitler" and his voters "garbage".

But if he is there, will he just sit on his hands or will he participate and join with the millions in the National Mall and watching on TV around the world in doing the official dance of the Trump Administration when the song YMCA is played?

Biden has already said he will attend

He will do whatever activities outgoing Presidents normally do

Poor Jimmy

He is a good man

But in over his head as president

No, he just inherited a presidency that was of diminished value after Watergate.

The pendulum had swung towards Congressional power.

The official playing of YMCA and the group performance of the official national dance are the activities normally performed at Trump events.

President Carter enjoyed a rubber stamp Democrat Congress during his entire tenure.

Yep, let the evil dems seethe while everyone else enjoys the party.

Well,
By today's standards he would be considered an ultra right wing conservative.
Carter was honest. Dumb but honest.

Sorry, um, no.

Jimmy Carter was an ineffective and weak president. Even Democrats thought so, which is why so many of them got behind Ted Kennedy in 1980. (Who probably would have gotten the nomination if the Iran Hostage Crisis hadn't happened.)

He BARELY beat Jerry Ford. You know, the guy who pardoned Nixon.

His economy sucked. Double-digit inflation and near double-digit unemployment. His foreign policy was so feckless people openly talked about living in a Soviet-dominated world and whether that would be so bad.

There was an old joke that my Drill Instructor told us in 1981.

Jimmy Carter gets to heaven and he meets JFK. JFK asks him what happened when he was president.

"Well, first the Iranians overthrew the Shah and took our embassy personnel hostage."

"Then you sent in the Marines, right?"

"Um, no they were still there until the last day of my Presidency. Then the Soviets invaded Afghanistan!"

"And then you sent in the Marines".

"Um, no, they were still there when I left as well."

"Shit, Jimmy, next you'll be telling me you gave away the Panama Canal!"

To be fair....our lease on the Panama Canal was over. However....the Despot we left in charge was a huge mistake. Another CIA failure.

And it's been needing to be overhauled. Nobody is stepping up to do it though.

You cannot reasonably transplant a politician from one generation to the next. "JFK would have been a Republican today!" Don't believe it. He would have been campaigning for sex change operations for pre-teens if he had been born in 1963 rather than died then.

Trump's supporters are very fine with his decision not to attend Biden's inauguration. The election was stolen, as all cogent Americans have come to find out.

Biden should stay home. He is a national embarrassment. Same for the likes of Schumer, Pelosi, and Harris.
