RIP Jimmy Carter

Bonzo goes to Bitburg, then goes out for a cup of tea.
As I watched it on TV, somehow it really bothered me.

Respect as a Navy nuke officer.
2nd worst President , Joe takes the number 1 position.

Jimmy Carter was the first president I was old enough to understand some of what was going on. He got me interested in nuclear power and was one of the sparks that got me into in science and engineering.

Your first sentence makes you sound rational. Your second sentence completely counteracts that impression.

To be fair Trump’s Presidency is only halfway done. There’s the possibility (whatever probability one wants to assign) that the second one could be stellar in your opinion

With flags at half staff for 30 days for Carter, means they’ll be that way for the inauguration events.

It’s like Carter managed to have the last word.

In my town, not many have lowered their flag including town properties and schools. Don’t think his passing have many people caring, we are too in the moment…

Interesting. Pretty sure it was 30 days from Carter’s passing on federal and non-private buildings. So that should include public schools.

Really? I’m surprised. Normally you guys just list the Democrats in reverse order:

worst - Joe
2nd - Obama
3rd - Clinton
4th - Carter
5th - Johnson

Of course, Carter just died, which puts him in the news currently, so that’s going to bump him up. But Joe’s still President, so maybe he should retain the top position. So would that be:

Joe, Carter, Obama, Clinton, Johnson?

How Trump’s second administration goes is beside the point. Neither Carter nor Biden are the bottom two Presidents

It’s probably recency bias, or because DJ is the worst president of (almost) any living person’s lifetime, but he’s probably not as bad as the 4 presidents leading up to the civil war or Warren G and Hoover.

It’s interesting that Lincoln is sandwiched between two of the worst.

It seems like most reputable rankings put Carter just below the middle. Saying he’s the worst except for Biden is just partisan MAGA uninformed nonsense.

Second worst EVER??? Son, what is your definition of “worst”?

Buchanan and A. Johnson tie for the two worst IMO.

Agreed. Any discussions regarding best/worst Presidents that show a blatant and obvious bias for “their” party are a stupid waste of time.

It’s sad that a thread about the passing of one of our Presidents, and by all accounts a good and honorable man, devolves into this.

RIP President Carter.

Not surprisingly, this is under trump’s skin. He’s already complaining about it, what a DB.

“They don’t love our country”: Trump rages over half-mast flags for Carter

What an overgrown douchebag manbaby!

Guess when that bastard finally departs let that flag fly full mast. No respect should be given to that white trash.
