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.
No no no no noooo noooo no oh ohh ohh ohhhh YES!
Fucking hell i thougjt this was different news
This belongs in c/maybemaybemaybe
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
So he is technically elligible for a second term…
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 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
Happy birthday!
He was the last president who addressed Americans like adults without the need for rhetoric.
Wild ride to the last two words of the title. It could have gone either way.
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?
Idk but I’d like her to do it to me 🥴
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!
I gasped before reading the title till the end
Any and every headline that begins with “Jimmy Carter, former US President” makes my stomach drop a bit. For like a decade now.
A rollercoaster of emotions within the span of a sentence.
You had me in the first half dot jpg
Yup, my heart skipped a little beat before I got to the end.
Seriously, with all the other bad celebrity news lately, I expected the worst.
I had read the headline before this post and still gasped.
