Jimmy Carter celebrates his 100th birthday on Tuesday, making him the first US president to reach the milestone.
Carter, a Democrat who served in the White House from 1977 to 1981, has spent the past 19 months in hospice care in his home state of Georgia.
But the former peanut farmer, who first entered politics in the 1960s as a state senator, is “emotionally engaged and still having experiences and laughing, loving,” his grandson, Jason, said in September.
And the centenarian still has political ambitions: “I’m only trying to make it to vote for Kamala Harris” in November’s election, the humanitarian and Nobel Prize recipient said, according to his grandson.
I hope he gets the opportunity to stand at trump’s grave.
He should get to be first in line to piss on it
But he wouldn’t because he has class, honor, integrity, and a sense of decorum. All things of which Trump is devoid.
This belongs in c/maybemaybemaybe
Fucking hell i thougjt this was different news
Whoever wrote that headline knew precisely what they were doing and went ahead with it anyway because they are an asshole.
100 year old president: Jimmy Carter
There I fixed it, exact same news, no fuck yous.
No no no no noooo noooo no oh ohh ohh ohhhh YES!
They knew they were fucking with us with that title and they did it anyway
So he is technically elligible for a second term…
Happy birthday!
I really fucking wish that news articles would stop wording shit like this. Reading the title I initially thought he died.
it makes me wish i instead spoke one of those pama-nyungan languages where dead people have different grammar rules
Jimmy Carter, Destroyer of Dead Pools everywhere.
He was the best president we have had since I was alive. He has integrity. He sold his family farm to avoid conflict of interest when running for office. He built houses for decades after leaving office for the needy.
I didn’t know he quit politics for the needy.
That was just a bad ordering of words in that sentence. He failed to get re-elected and then a few years later he and his wife started building houses for the needy.
He was the last president who addressed Americans like adults without the need for rhetoric.
Every single time I’m scrolling and Carter’s face pops up at the bottom of my screen I think “Oh, he’s reached the end of his long, full life,” and them nope he’s fine and older than most people will ever get. Go Jimmy!
Wild ride to the last two words of the title. It could have gone either way.
I really wish they would stop dressing him up and dragging him out to events. Let the man rest.
That’s an old pic. He’s been in hospice for the past 19 months & is just watching a broadcast of the celebrations. But yeah, he deserves the peace
probably be his finish line
I’d be happy with that.
Didn’t they put him in hospice care over a year ago? Dude refuses to die. 100 down, 100 to go!
Iirc he said the last thing he wants to do is vote for Kamala
What did she do to the poor man?
Phrasing. He means, he wants to live long enough to be able to vote for Kamala and then he can die. Yes, he really did say that.
Idk but I’d like her to do it to me 🥴
I was sure he would go soon after his wife, as is the case with couples married that long. But he just won’t quit
Carter 2032!
Now you’re thinking like a red blooded American!
Yes give the man his second term, can’t wait for Carter to tell that young whippersnapper trump “be silent and mind your manners!”
Jimmy n Carter 100 years!
