#39th President

[ralfmaximus]

This just in: 100 year old southern gentleman born in 1924 votes for a black woman to be President of the United States.

Jimmy Got His Wish.

Vote. And take it upon yourself to make sure all the like-minded people you know follow through with their own votes. Act as a benevolent precinct captain to people you know.

People vote individually – not in blocs. And elections are won one vote at a time.

OBSESSED with the dishes at this place. Especially this autumnal sake cup.

Ordered hot sake which meant I could make the bunny go to the onsen :) Filled it up VERY CAREFULLY to just under his nose so he wouldn't drown. Also so he didn't have enough depth to swim and cause a Jimmy Carter situation. Anyway. This was so cute it was amazing I left the restaurant at all.

The mental image of Profirio shaking hands with Jimmy Carter is hilarious because I imagine he looks at least a little feral.

//at least he's not a commie

Best wishes to President Jimmy Carter

I meant to write earlier this week about President Carter’s decision to enter home hospice care that will conclude his long and storied life.

I believe that the historical record shows that he was, at best, a mediocre president. As President, he was out of his depth, even as events overwhelmed him and sank his presidency. In 1980, he lost his re-election to Ronald Reagan in one of the largest landslides in U.S. history. That however, is not the full measure of the man.

Though I may not have agreed with some of the policies his administration advocated and pursued, I believe President Carter to have been an honest and principled leader. While he may not have been a great president, there is little doubt that he is a stellar human being. Since leaving the White House, he has consistently worked to improve conditions for the poor and to advance other humanitarian causes. For this, he has my respect and admiration.

As he begins this final journey, I hope that the warmth and respect that the American people feel for him will bring comfort to President and Mrs. Carter and to his entire family.

Happy 100th Birthday to President Jimmy Carter

Born October 1st 1924

Carter was America's 39th President serving from 1977 till 1981. President Carter is notable for many reasons, the first American President to oversee a Middle East peace deal ending 30 years of war between Egypt and Israel, the first President to address climate change, and established the Departments of Education and Energy. After his 1980 defeat by Republican Ronald Reagan Carter would redefine what it is a former President is supposed to do. His 40 years out of office saw the Carters work tirelessly on humanitarian projects around the world. Carter worked with Habitat for Humanity to build houses for those in need across America well into his 90s. Carter also worked to combat decease in the developing world particularly Africa. President Carter once said he wanted only to live long enough to outlive the last Guinea worm, a goal he may have reached, when the Carter Center started its work in 1986 there were 3.5 million cases, so far in 2024, 4. In 2002 President Carter became the first and only American President to win the Nobel Peace Prize for activities after their Presidency. He was awarded the prize for the Carter Center's work promoting Democracy and Human Rights around the world. Carter's political reputation in the US has long been overshadowed by his 1980 loss and the rough end of his Presidency but in 2010s and 2020s President Carter has become more engaged with domestic politics campaigning and speaking in his native Georgia. In February 2023 aged 98 President Carter decided to enter hospice care, and many believed the end was near. 19 months later Carter is celebrating his 100th birthday. Sadly his beloved wife of 77 years former First Lady Rosalynn Carter passed away in November 2023. Many commented on a frail President Carter's personal strength appearing in person at her funeral. President Carter's Family reports that since Kamala Harris entered the 2024 race he's become more alert and following events more closely. When asked about his upcoming birthday Carter told his grandson that he's looking forward to being 100, but what he really wants is to make it to November 5th and cast his last vote for Kamala Harris for President.

In honor of former President Jimmy Carter’s 100th birthday, the North Lawn of the White House on Tuesday featured a giant “100” with the message,“Happy Birthday President Carter."

The display was set to remain on the North Lawn through the end of the day.

Carter, who entered home hospice care in February 2023, became on Tuesday the first former U.S. president to live to be 100. The 39th president, who held office from 1977 to 1981, is the longest-lived former chief executive in U.S. history.

President Joe Biden wished Carter a happy birthday in a new video from the White House.

...

Biden praised Carter as one of "the most influential statesmen in our history" and praised the successes of the Carter Center.

"The moral clarity you showed throughout your career showed through again. And your commitment through the Carter Center and the Habitat for Humanity, you're solving conflicts, advancing democracy, preventing disease, so much more. It's transforming the lives of people, not only at home, but around the world," Biden said. [...]

random (nice) junko headcanon

in a non-despair AU, Junko is the sort to just spout Whole Ass Absurdist Fabrications about random celebs and big names over lunch. she's not like Long-Con Celestia, she's not like the Moderately Devious and very personal Kokichi, no. she'll examine her vegan burger and loftily tell you Mukuro once served in a country where the citizens crucified anyone who looked like beloved Oscar-award-winner Nicholas Cage, and 39th US president Jimmy Carter, too.

"due to the diplomatic incident in 2019, y'know," she adds, twirling her hair in one finger. when you ask her if that's True, she immediately retracts: "no, of course not. made that up. was bored. felt like lying. love you tho." and her smile is so charming you can't hate her, you could never.

Jimmy Carter continues to overperform. He's had the greatest post-presidency in American history and that includes winning the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002.

He was placed in home hospice care late last winter. Many of us were expecting a state funeral in the spring. But Jimmy Carter has made it to his 99th birthday and was even well enough to attend a peanut festival last weekend in his home town of Plains, Georgia.

Age has become a topic of conversation in the 2024 campaign. This is an appropriate time to point out that people all age differently and at different rates and that stereotyping the aged is simply another form of discrimination.

When Carter was 93 he appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. His mind was still sharp as he bantered with Colbert.

As for the age of sitting presidents, President Carter commented that 93 should be the upper limit. 😛

One current candidate for president is more than 20 years younger than Jimmy Carter but obviously has not aged as well as the 39th president.

//they may not look alike, be the same age, or even have the same name... but they both like robots, drama, and carrying around giant impractical kitchen knives with which to stab people to death, and i think that's a beautiful act of intergenerational solidarity :)

//...what do you mean they're both boomers. there's over two decades age difference.

PLAINS, GA—Remarking that his decision to undergo the initial procedure had perhaps been made in haste, former President Jimmy Carter, 98, announced Tuesday that he had gotten his recent vasectomy reversed. “I regret closing that door as early as I did, and I realized, yeah, I do want to be a dad again someday,” said the 39th president of the United States, waving to the press and local well-wishers as he entered an outpatient surgery center, which he was seen exiting four hours later, all smiles, with an ice pack held to his crotch. “I wonder how many kids I’ll go on to have! That’s probably a long way down the line, though, maybe I’m getting ahead of myself. Guess I’ll have to pick up a pack of condoms on the way home.” Reached for additional comment, Carter clarified that he did not intend to father a child until his divorce was finalized and he had met someone he wanted to settle down and start a family with.
