Jimmy Carter was a very special president, and an even more special man. He lived every day with honor and dignity, and always did his utmost to live up to the principles of his faith, while also not using that faith as an excuse to harm or attack others. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/29/u...

Has anyone actually read the complete list of people Trump already pardoned & their crimes? I have. Every damn one of them. GTFOH w/your both sideisms & false moral equivalencies. People are sick of that old BS. I’m so tired of our hand-wringing weakness & refuse to participate.
