    Donny’s just sad he’d never be able to get someone to spend 77 years with him.

    Where’s Melania?

      Next campaign speech: “President Carter’s wife… Rosalynn. She died, folks. She died. I never liked her! I like first ladies that don’t die like my wife Melania.”

    Mmm yes, let’s kick one of the last honest politicians in existence while he’s down. That’ll soften your horrific image, big boy.

        What’s wonderful is that the next few days are going to be full of coverage of the scandal-free Carter presidency, Carter marriage, and Carter family.

        Unfortunately, I expect it to be full of coverage of Trump shitting all over Carter’s presidency, marriage, and family. Trump has never passed up the opportunity to get one last kick in on someone who’s literally on their death bed.

    Republicans rat fucked Carter with Iran Contra. It’s Republicans in a nutshell. They have no floor. Can always go lower.

      Republicans played with the lives of hostages for political gain. They prolonged the Vietnam war for political gain. They are almost always on the wrong side of history.

        Only one thing to add to that: his voice must be heavily controlled. Not taken away of course, but he must not be allowed to pontificate to his drooling followers. He’s never been shy about embracing stochastic terror while a free man; imagine his behavior when he has less to lose.

        The only people (other than fellow inmates) listening to him should be the prison guards. And when he complains that he’s being treated unfairly with his uncomfy bed or whatever, they can silently gesture to all the identical cells around him for the hundredth time.

        Maybe when he’s lost the one thing that gives him a sense of power he’ll be forced to attempt some kind of introspection, and hopefully find the tiniest kernel of empathy.

        Or I can just wake up from my daydreaming.

        It won’t end until the bigoted vitriolic overzealous self-aggrandizing assholes have something to fear again.

        The genie is out of the bottle and too many freaks have been emboldened to be open about their racist, misogynistic thoughts.

    It’s a party of hatred. When he got elected after mocking that camera man for having a disability, it should have been clear for everyone what the republican party stood for.

      As the parent of a special needs child I was completely aghast about that. Doesn’t even make sense because they want people to “pull their own weight” (which is just what that person was doing)!

    Conservatives delight in the suffering and misery of others. This is simply who they are at their core. It is not a trait they can change. They can supress the public expression of this trait when it serves them, but deep inside, they thrive on the knowledge that a vulnerable person is suffering.

    Be cautious in your dealings with conservatives. They do not value the lives of people or animals the way a normal person does.

    Stuff like this is why I consider republicans to be worthless filth.

    Trump, criticizing Biden at a rally in Fort Dodge, Iowa, told a crowd of supporters that “the happiest person anywhere in this country right now is Jimmy Carter because his administration looked brilliant compared to these clowns.”

    “Compared to Biden, Jimmy Carter was a brilliant, brilliant president,” Trump said.

      Which is really interesting since Jimmy Carter’s presidency was one of the most competent we’ve had in history. The only reason anybody shits on it is because of the smear job the republicans and the Reagan campaign did on it.

        I think the failed hostage rescue really fucked him up. And also the “malaise” speech — an indictment on the American people for not heeding the warning of a wise and prescient man.

          That speech truly hurt him. The aborted rescue was at the very end and jacked up his legacy for decades.

          And about 2-minutes after Reagan took office, we got the hostages back. So now Carter looked weak and Reagan strong.

          I was just an elementary school kid, but those were my impressions at the time.

    That scumbag will say anything to get attention. The filthier the better, and it seems filth is all he’s got left.
