Imagine how it feels

Just imagine how it must feel to see one of the most disliked presidents in history get such praise for being an honorable and good person following their death (Jimmy Carter), and knowing that you'll be very lucky if you even get so much as a..."Good Riddance! Couldn't come soon enough! Asshat!" ...following your own passing (Joe Biden).

Biden and his cronies may deny this on the outside, but deep down, when they look in the mirror, they must know it's true.

I will never forget the moment on the stage during the Trump debate when we saw the REAL Joe Biden. It was when Biden snarled..."You're the Sucker! You're the Loser!!! (GRRRR!!)"...at Trump. He'd canned that remark prior to the debate, his coaches telling him to be angry at Trump, and this was his moment. But what you really saw was his lack of anything else to say; he couldn't rebut what Trump had just said, and he'd probably rehearsed that line over and over, just waiting for the right moment to throw it out there. In the absence of any other coherent rebuttal, he couldn't remember anything else...so he blurted that out.

It was a complete non-sequitur in the moment. It so clearly illustrated what Biden really was, an angry old man in steep mental decline...who just happened to be President of the United States. He was wildly flailing away at anything, everything. He had lost, and he knew it...and then he realized he'd just illustrated it to the entire world.

The really sad and disturbing part about that moment was the reasoning behind it when you put it into context. Biden was trying to gain points by using / leveraging his dead son, which he did on a regular basis. How many times did Biden leverage his son's death (from cancer, NOT as some fallen war hero as Biden tried to portray him to be)? And Joe Biden did this not out of respect for his son, but for his own personal gain. I'm sorry folks, but that's just sick, twisted and disturbing. Someone who would twist the circumstances of their own child's death for their own personal and political gain.

So now, when you reflect on the snarling retort to Trump during the debate about Trump being the 'sucker and loser' (which wasn't even an accurate quote, BTW), you can see just how shallow Joe Biden truly is. It was really Joe Biden who was the sucker and the loser, because only a loser would take their own son's death out of context like that and use it for political capital in a debate.

So, when Joe Biden's status changes from 'is' to 'was', what will people say about him?

I will say:

🤣🤣 and millions of his victims will rejoice!

Loving family man, sacrificed so much to dedicate his entire life to public service not for his own gain but to uplift others, offered his enemies no quarter, etc etc...

Yeah, when it comes to hoorible things said by a President about the opposition, Biden always tops the list.

A pardon for you,
A pardon for you,
And another pardon for you..

Oh what the hell, a blanket pardon for a whole decade..😂

I didn't mind Carter, he seemed pretty mellow but he wasn't that good at promoting good policies for our country, except of course, he tried to help promote consumption of peanuts. I liked peanuts, but did not believe that eating a lot was good for anyone at the time. But at least he was a farmer instead of someone who was a seasoned politician at the time.

Better than Biden in my opinion even though some people really did not think Carter was any good. At least Carter did not screw as much up in our society as Biden did.

For me, the contrasts between Carter and Biden are quite amazing after living through both.

Carter (I believe) did his level best despite being in way, way over his head. Carter deserves our respect for his pre and post work, to wit, Habitat for Humanity.

Biden is/was (again, my opinion) a grifter who believed he knew what he was doing and didn't. Other than doing everything he could do to enrich his family, I can't think of a single thing that deserves respect.

The difference between Carter and Biden even though they both were some of the worst Presidents at least Carter was a great honorable man.

Did you ever look at gas prices and loan interests' rates back then? My first car in 1978 was at 17% interest. Carter also gave up the Panama Canal and all our bases in the PI.

It's as easy to believe Jimmy Carter was at least a decent man
as it is to know Joe Biden has never been anything close to decent.

The way in which he 'enriched' his family deserves zero respect; it deserves a lengthy jail sentence.

Joe Biden has done nothing in his life that deserves even a scintilla od respect. He's a vile human being-if he's even human.

He also granted a list of Commutations and Reprieves, along with Pardons under the broad title of Clemency. A search for Pardons doesn't bring up forgiveness for a lot of the criminals. Who would forgive a judge for the crime of prosecuting young people for profit other than an upside down satanist.

President Joe Biden this week granted clemency to a former Luzerne County judge convicted in the infamous “kids for cash” scheme to send children to for-profit detention centers in exchange for kickbacks.

Michael Conahan, now 72, was sentenced to 17½ years in prison in 2011 in connection with the judicial scandal, which the FBI described as the “worst in Pennsylvania’s history.”

Clemency vs Pardon

Wash and repeat the bulls''t for the drug smuggler George H W Bush's funeral.

Carter is now able to pass knowing he is not the worst modern day president ever. That title belongs to Joe Biden.

He was not a good president. He never should have been president. He was as nobody and a lot of people wanted change and certainly not Ford.

Rest in Peace.

One persistent recollection of the Carter years I have is Dan Aykroyd's portrayl on SNL. Jimmy/Dan was doing a radio call in where he answered callers' questions. A kid on a bad acid trip called in and Jimmy/Dan talked him down. Not only hilarious, but you could see where it's not out of the realm of plausibility. If you had a kid on a bad acid trip, Carter's the President you'd want taking the call.

I forgot about the panama thing. In the early seventies I worked at Holiday gas station pumping gas, so yeah, I always was aware of gas prices. Everyone in town knew that by the disregulating of gas, eventually the price would go up. We had about two years of cheaper gas then the oil companies started raising prices saying the world was running out of gas in a short time.

I did pretty well with the interest rate in the seventies, I actually made money on my savings and when opening another CD I got a toaster one time, and and electric can opener another time. I had a car loan in seventy four for a seventy one comet I bought from my mother for thirteen hundred bucks. It got smashed in seventy five and I paid off the car with the insurance and took the engine and stuck it in a sixty nine mustang special addition I bought for fifty bucks. It was similar to the mach one in shape, but there were some issues with the driveshaft, it cost me fifty bucks to get it lengthened because the mustang had a big block aluminum engine in it originally, so I had some retrofitting to do. I must have spent a couple of hundred bucks total on that conversion and the mustang. I was all into sports cars back then, but got most of my stuff from junkyards paying cash for parts.

I didn't have another loan till I bought a forty foot by a sixty foot garage in eighty two, rock walls and round roof, it cost me seven grand for that garage from my mother and stepfather. It was actually forty six foot by sixty six foot outside...three foot thick stone walls.

In eighty three I tried getting a loan from the bank to start my first business, ten grand...couldn't get the loan because it wasn't a big enough loan. But the city of Hancock would have lent me up to a million bucks interest free to build a way bigger business in their city limit, making moldings to sell to lumber markets. I said no....all I wanted was a small molding and wood shop in my garage, not something that would take over my life. Government grant if I wanted it though. No payments till the business was up and running. Still no. I do not know who was president in eighty one.

Yeah, for many years back then, interest rates were high, but bamk CDs were paying over ten percent interest plus gifts.

Depends on what side of the fence you are on.

The seventies were fun. Everything was cheap for entertainment. Half barrels of beer were only twenty two bucks, lots of social functions were cheap or free , health insurance cost like forty bucks a month for families with a ten dollar copay at doctors and that forty bucks was all paid by the employer...no deductibles on any health insurance like there is today. Sure, I was only making only three thirty an hour working at a flooring mill, but rent was less than a hundred twenty five a month including utilities for a two bedroom house on the lakeshore.

I really feel sorry for this generation, no more two burgers for a buck at burger king or ninety nine cent big fish sandwiches

More like, 'on behalf of' the malarkey brigade.

Wasn’t even born when Jimmy Carter was president. But whenever I hear his name I always relate him to that old doco narrated by Woody Harrelson called “Grass”. Where they claim one of his campaign promises was to legalize weed, but then there was a major coke scandal in his administration and the idea got canned.

No idea if it was true or not, but that’s just where my mind goes whenever I hear Jimmy Carters name.

a reply to: JadedGhost

I think you're thinking of Bill Clinton and the coke deal in Arkansas, not Jimmy Carter. Entire books have been written about this, including an autobiography by the pilot who flew the plane(s).

I think you're remembering the wrong guy.
