Let me make this pellucidly clear re Jimmy Carter

[malaise]

Unlike Smelvis the SF Slobfather aka Don Poorleone the Nodfather, you are loved and respected. Eff the oil barons, history will be kind to you.

That is all

[CaliforniaPeggy]

1. Couldn't agree with you more, my dear malaise!

Loved and respected forever.

Well said!

[malaise]

2. Indeed my dear CaliforniaPeggy

3. I got to see him in Fort Worth on his down home tour during his campaign.

He is such a genuine and kind person. A wonderful president.
Too bad Reagan won, our world would be so different if he had.

[sarge43]

4. He gave to this world far, far more than he took from it.

Fair winds and following seas, Sailor.

35. So true

If you give a little more than you take 😆😀😆🤪

6. LMFTFY

Jimmy Carter ... you are loved and respected ... history will be kind to you.

There! That's better! I really see no reason to mention Trump in an effort to praise Carter by comparison. And there's no reason to mention Carter in an effort to ridicule Trump. I think it detracts from the message.

[malaise]

18. It's not your post n/t

[Oopsie Daisy]

22. Yes, I know. But my version is better.

I think it's offensive to praise Jimmy Carter by comparing him to Trump, and vice-versa. The two names should never be in the same post, much less the same paragraph or sentence. Jimmy Carter deserves better than that. --- He deserves praise for who he IS and what he's ACCOMPLISHED (not for who he "isn't" and for what he "hasn't done".)

[Harker]

7. Trumpsky using him as a punchline at his fascist ego-rallies

Really ticks me off.

He has no cause to even mention his name.

[Whiskeytide]

30. I thought Тяцмp has been talking about ...

… the tennis player Jimmy Connors. At least that’s what my friend Emily Litella said.

[Harker]

34. Oh... that's very different.

Never mind!

[malaise]

36. Sm,elvis the SF didn't know who the eff he was talking about

😂

A criminal buffoon

8. He taught those of all faiths.."We are all ONE"

We learned (through his example) about decency, honesty, compassion and integrity.

"If you don't want your tax dollars to help the poor, then stop saying you want a country based on Christian values. because you don't". Jimmy Carter

9. As a 28 year old Lieutenant Jimmy Carter repaired a leaking reactor in Canada.

Even if he would not become Governor, President, and a renowned humanitarian he should be remembered for this act of courage. Carter absorbed 1000x times the radiation allowed today. A true American hero.

10. Jimmy Carter is a national treasure! Trump is a national security risk!

11. Imagine the world if we had shifted gears on our climate policy as he had suggested.

Shining city on the hill climate policy. He had some brilliant advisers, like Amory Lovins .

12. It's fun searching DU for the phrase "Let me make this pellucidly clear"

to see a long list of your pellucidly clear OPs

32. LOL

15. Carter is a criminally underrated President

Who got outmaneuvered by some evil effers. A genuinely good person and far, far ahead of his time on renewable energy.

[orangecrush]

16. What a wonderful man

Wish there were more like him in politics.

[Torchlight]

17. His passing will minimize this world a little bit.

I was in 4th grade when he was elected, at that age when concepts like a President were beginning to dawn on me. So of course, given that and his life's achievements, he's become an inherent, fundamental standard of who I think has earned the office, and the direction their ethical compasses should point towards.

I'll never have reason to place Pres. Carter and that other guy in the same thought, let alone in a sentence, unless to draw what I think is the most greatest contrast between two modern presidents: a man of noble thought and deed, and a degenerate, willfully-flawed piece of filth.

[malaise]

33. Lovely post

[TNNurse]

21. I am so grateful to have been able to vote for him.

I hope he has been aware enough to see all the good work Joe and Kamala are doing. I think he would be proud and also comforted.

[DoBW]

23. I had forgotten he won the Nobel peace prize in '02

very interesting story. For ex. ... how many people know he was a submariner assigned to Schenectady, N.Y., where he took graduate work at Union College in reactor technology and nuclear physics, and served as senior officer of the pre-commissioning crew of the Seawolf, the second nuclear submarine. ? Fascinating, the trajectories of lives

[malaise]

26. He has lived an amazing life

Do you remember this? .😂😂

https://www.cnn.com/2018/05/09/politics/trump-nobel-prize/index.html

President Donald Trump told reporters Wednesday that while “everyone thinks” he deserves a Nobel Peace Prize for his involvement in the warming of relations with North Korea, the only prize he wants is a victory for the world.

Of course he never got one

[DoBW]

29. totally ..

what a crock of sh*t

[Ziggysmom]

24. June 1989, he was in Milwaukee building Habitat for Humanity homes. I will never forget

meeting him. His grace and kindness made him shine like a star. Rosalynn, too.
