Jimmy Carter, 39th president and Nobel Peace Prize winner, dies at 100, his son saysThe tenacious Southerner was turned out of office by disillusioned voters after a single term. But he had a brilliant post-presidential career as a champion of health, peace and democracy.https://www.washingtonpost.com/obituaries/2024/12/29/jimmy-carter-president-dead/Jimmy Carter, a no-frills and steel-willed Southern governor who was elected president in 1976, was rejected by disillusioned voters after a single term and went on to an extraordinary post-presidential life that included winning the Nobel Peace Prize, died Sunday at his home in Plains, Georgia, according to his son James E. Carter III, known as Chip. He was 100 and the oldest living U.S. president of all time.His son confirmed the death but did not provide an immediate cause. In a statement in February 2023, the Carter Center said the former president, after a series of hospital stays, would stop further medical treatment and spend his remaining time at home under hospice care. He had been treated in recent years for an aggressive form of melanoma skin cancer, with tumors that spread to his liver and brain.

The last good president. RIP peanut-chad(T-T)7
For generations, U.S. presidents have gone to great lengths to avoid potential conflicts of interest. When I was elected, I followed suit by placing my small business in a blind trust to assure our citizens that I would always put the country’s interests ahead of my own. It’s a vital presidential tradition. That’s why I find it a bit curious that our new commander-in-chief has been allowed to ignore it.For Christ’s sake, you people made me get rid of my peanut farm before you let me be president.I grew up on that farm. When my father died, I moved back home and worked those fields with my own two hands to keep it afloat. It was a hard job, but it was so rewarding. It wasn’t just a business—it was the place I called home. Letting go of the family farm was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do, but I did it because the American people asked me to. I did it for their sake, without enthusiasm, but also without hesitation.Boy, times sure have changed, haven’t they? I couldn’t help but notice that the current occupant of the White House owns more than 500 companies, has business interests across the Middle East and Asia, and owes hundreds of millions of dollars to banks he is now responsible for regulating. It seems a touch unfair that a bigger fuss was made about my little peanut operation than all his office towers, hotels, and golf courses combined. All I had was a farm, you know? A small, precious farm.Seriously, it was just a few fields and a warehouse, and you idiots still appointed a special prosecutor and spent six months investigating it.
Not a day goes by when I don’t think about what life would be like if I still had my peanut farm. I miss it so much. I miss feeling the sun on my face. I miss the earth in my hands. Sometimes, I’d go out to the fields before dawn. I’d watch the sun come up, watch it cast golden light on my plants, row by row. It was so calm; so quiet. Those were some of the best days of my life. It sure would’ve been nice to live out the rest of my years there, but I had to do what was right. I suppose only some of us have to.God, I loved that peanut farm!And where were my conflicts of interest, exactly? Seriously, do enlighten me, America, because I honestly have no idea. Did you worry I might be cutting deals in back rooms with the peanut butter lobby? Or that I might be too busy at harvest time to focus on the economy or the Middle East? Apparently, you did, and almost obsessively. Meanwhile, your new president holds a lease from the federal government to operate a $200 million hotel six blocks from the White House. I mean, come on!Maybe I’m just a sucker. Apparently, all I needed to do was hand off control of the farm to my family. If I’d staged an elaborate song and dance about distancing myself—whatever that means—from all the day-to-day planting, picking, and salting, maybe I could have kept my peanut farm with the full blessing of you, the American people.
Arguably the best human being that was ever POTUS. A remarkable man. RIP.

>>1371377Carter nominated Paul Volcker to chair the Fed, who then fixed the economy. Reagan was elected because he was an affable, charismatic actor who made Americans feel comfortable.
>>1371381Why didn't the Democrats nominate someone who was affable and charismatic, who makes people feel comfortable?
>>1371384Because they were more concerned with nominating someone with strong moral integrity and not a huckster that would sell out to America's enemies.
Totally ineffective weakling. The only good you can say is that he was too inept to do anything worse.
>>1371377You're not familiar with anything because you think Wikipedia is a jewish psy-op.
only upside is the timinglaw stipulates official flags fly at half staff for one month following the death of a former president with no stated exceptions.old man 45 will be inaugurated under the lowered flags of a mourning nation, a fitting image for the coming term
this faggot gave away the Panama canal. The canal used to be part of the United States and he gave it away for free.
>>1371394it was never built with the intention to stay as a US colonial possession anyhow though
>>1371394He was the biggest cuck president for this. Liberals love him because he did nothing but suck communist dick
>>1371396The US paid for it.
Unlike dogs, all politicians go to hell. MR Carter wasn't a politician, which is why he served only 1 term and walked away. Jimmy felt those hell flames picking his behind and took the righteous path.
>>1371399... yeah, and?
>>1371403Panama would be a paradise like Hawaii if Carter didn't give it away.
>>1371414can you prove that?
>>1371416The canal is 200 miles of prime waterfront property with a few day cruise to both NYC and LA.instead it is wasted land
>>1371403And you're a tranny cuck. The US spent an ungodly amount of money on it for the time and basically got nothing out of the deal. Should have told the entire southern hemisphere to go fuck themselves and let them riot and kill each other and then came in to clean up with the military. The entire globe would be better off by that one change in history
>>1371424We were supposed to set a positive example.
>>1371446literally nobody has followed the US's example. What's the point in setting an example when not only does no other country follow, they exploit every kindness we give and pay nothing forward?
>>1371448I don't think most people are as mad at Panama as you seem to be. Noriega was 35 years ago.
>>1371424>basically got nothing out of the dealtell me you're retarded without saying you're retardedthe canal paid for itself many times over
>>1371452>the canal paid for itself many times overIt would have paid for itself a million more times over if it was still our property
Carter's legacy:1) worst recession since the 1930s2) secret courts under FISA3) built some houses after he retired
>>1371449whatever happened to the Panama Papers? You sure don't hear much about them anymore. So many billionaires hiding stacks of cash there to avoid taxes, and the only time it gets in the news is when Trump whines about having to pay them a storage fee for his hidden money.
>>1371384because they rather have someone who knows what their doing instead of a guy who doesn't that can convince people he does.
>>1371454The recession started under Nixon you revisionist retard.
>>1371356Here to pay my respects, RIP an absolute legend. o7
>>1371384Ted Kennedy lost. Get over it.
>>1371390Not him but wiki is pretty shit and also Jewish, yes. That just goes without saying and it's difficult to take anyone who uses it seriously
>>1371645Wrong board faggot>>>/pol/
