ATLANTA (Feb. 18, 2023) — After a series of short hospital stays, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter today decided to spend his remaining time at home with his family and receive hospice care instead of additional medical intervention. He has the full support of his family and his medical team. The Carter family asks for privacy during this time and is grateful for the concern shown by his many admirers.

I was fortunate to spend an evening with President Carter and Mrs. Carter in a small group of about 10 people. While I tend towards a conservative nature and disagree with many of President Carter’s views, I respect the ever living hell out of the man. His liberal leanings are the real deal out of an honest concern and love for his fellow man. He was the wrong guy in the wrong place in 1976, and he’s got his share of faults, but he is an honest to goodness good man.

If anyone’s getting into heaven, it’s him.
I wish he and his family peace and comfort.
He epitomizes a man with whom I can really disagree, a lot. And still respect him for who he is.
I always thought the "Lusted in my heart" controversy silly. What healthy guy hasn't "lusted in his heart" about Raquel Welch, or someone like that?
It's normal, healthy, and if you don't do anything about it, there's nothing wrong with that. I admired his honesty.

It's the carnal equivalent of not inhaling, perhaps. Except of course he was being honest.

I’ll disagree, there. I don’t see Bush Sr., Reagan, Carter, Ford, Nixon, Johnson as having ever smoked a Jay. Kennedy? Quite possibly… But Bill was a different generation and a pretty big change from prior Presidents.

They’re both good people, and love each other so very much. Deeply. I’ve seen it often when one partner dies, the other dies shortly thereafter. I wonder if this will happen with them?

Probably. But they seem to have had a very good and long life.

To think of a president living more than 4 decades after leaving office.
Trump will do that, albeit in some people's heads.

I'd say there's also a fair-to-middling chance that after being convicted he will ascend into heaven and sit on the right hand of the Father for eternity. And if you think you've got it bad, imagine having Donald Trump sit on your hand for eternity - or even just for 5 minutes.
