Author Jonathan Alter, whose new book is titled “His Very Best: Jimmy Carter, A Life” says a great way to honor the 96 year-old former president would be to go and “work your butt off” in support of the Biden/Harris ticket. #Colbert #JimmyCarter #JonathanAlter
I love ❣️ Jimmy: his worm-busting cap; he l”ost his faith” over the treatment of women. Beautiful human .
ReplyTRUMP knows when he looses, he will go to jail, not only him but lots of republicans who thought they could have a free ride on American’s back. Can’t wait to see what they have been up to🤔
ReplyThis is a scandal. I have never seen a president acting that way.
ReplyDO NOT FORGET THAT IT TOOK DECADES OF CORP DEMS STEADILY SUPPRESSING PROGRESSIVE’S SOLUTIONS THAT PAVED THE WAY FOR WHERE WE ARE.
As for Carter, GOP / Reagan did backroom dirty deal to hold Amer hostages to cause Carter’s loss, despite both houses under dem control. If dems fail to use their power, guess who will??? Just like Obama’s first term, bc dems do REALLY want to advance the interests of corps, not we the diverse people…
“The team around Mr. Rockefeller, a lifelong Republican with a dim view of Mr. Carter’s dovish foreign policy, collaborated closely with the Reagan campaign in its efforts to pre-empt and discourage what it derisively labeled an “October surprise” — a pre-election release of the American hostages, the papers show.
Replybeautifully said, ty mr alter, mr and mrs colbert, mr batiste and stay human. president carter has always been my fav potus. his was, in fact, the first presidential election i got to vote in. after nixon, i didn’t trust politicians easily, but the little info i could find on him convinced me to grudgingly vote for him. i was very glad that i did as his term went on. he was the president that we needed, to get us through some very tough times and to protect our future. i still do that about heating and cooling temps, lol.
ReplyI am 49, involuntarily born in 71 under #Presidont Slickxen, next was Ford RePubliCon’s! Then aybe 6 or 7 yrs old & Carter came in. I remember his kindness alm. He was the Anti-Trump?
ReplyMaybe we need another farmer in the white house. Love Jimmy carter
ReplyI thought he was a great president. I am in the uk.
ReplyWashington stepping down being the first peaceful transition of power in the history of the world? Republican Rome laughs its ass off.
ReplyTrump’s a national security threat. If he doesn’t come up with the finances, creditors are coming for his thumbs (Putin, Deutsche Bank). I wonder if he’s stealing national secrets as a form of collateral? It seems like something that his character would align with.
ReplyWashington gave up power because he modelled himself on Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus. Washington was not the first to give up power.
ReplyYes, vote for Biden as a gift to President Carter and America! Great tribute to RBG to vote out Trump, too.
ReplyI have to agree that Jimmy Carter was ahead of his times in so many areas even as he was not in tune with the prevailing national hubris that defined the Regan era. He is still a hero to me
ReplyHappy Birthday President J. Carter….
ReplyThat’s not true, that Washington stepping down was the first peaceful transition of power.
ReplyThe “problem” with Carter was he was a modest person in a show job. Reagan acted Presidential while being a tool of the Oligarchs. Carter DID Presidential things, but did not preen and posture like the Washington Bully Club requires, so he got no traction. Being RIGHT makes you NO FRIENDS in politics. Right is NEVER a question, only “How does this get me reelected?”
ReplyYou idiots are all still at home? 😂🤣😂🤣😂
ReplyJimmy Carter is a great president but he is misunderstood bc he practiced Christian virtues and didn’t toot his own horn. Some notable things done under his watch: legislation written in plain English, the F-16 and A-10, and environmental laws before global warming was fashionable.
ReplyThe vicarious nature of politics emboldens the disempowered and champions the mentally weak.
ReplyThe psychically and economically displaced are neurologically force to blame any thing threatening to their hopes. Hence Trump and the five second world attention span.
Xx Australia love ya xx
Jimmy was my fave President that served b before I was born. He’s responsible for the solar panels on the White House (Reagan dismantled them while in office). Which proves that the technology was there to start the process of going green..
