Truly relieved that this happened under Biden. He will receive a more respectful and proper tribute and eulogy under him. Carter was truly the best of us

"We become not a melting pot but a beautiful mosaic. Different people, different beliefs, different yearnings, different hopes, different dreams." President Jimmy Carter

Oh I didn’t know. R_I_P Mr.President. You were my very first vote. 🇺🇸🙏

He was effective only after he left office. In office he was judgmental.

The US will now have a state funeral for Presidential Dignity prior to inaugurating Presidential Debauchery.

Rest Peacefully President James Earl Carter Jr. You will be spared the chaos coming to the world.

Happy Doom Year everyone. #HappyDoomYear

He has a fair claim to being the most effective president. He accomplished so much more than he's given credit for. I would encourage everyone to read, "His Very Best: Jimmy Carter, a Life (2020) by Jonathan Alter.

Yet your writer Tom Nichols bashed President Carter in his private posts on Bluesky. You need to keep track of the private posts of your employees as they share their hatred of the former President. Nichols posts were defamatory against President Carter. Look them up. I defended the President.

Of all the POTUSes in my life, Carter had the highest character. Easily. He didn't shirk from hard truths.

My favorite president. He served this country his entire life. You might not have agreed with his political agenda, but no one can deny that he represents everything good about the American presidency.

Then there is nothing good about the American presidency. He was okay when he built houses for Habitat, but all of his actions came from a preachy holier-than-thou outlook.

Jimmy Carter may not have been the best president, but he was such a good man. I really can't think of a president that I never for a moment doubted his integrity. He spent the rest of his life trying to give others a better life.

What he seemed to represent his entire life was/is inspiring. We need more honesty, integrity and consistency from our leadership- without the anger, theatrics and drama. He was an exemplary person, an exemplary President.
