Very dumb people who will get nothing from this man just like everyone else who interacted with him. In fact, a lot of those people are not only ruined, but some will also go to jail. Wake up and smell the stench of evil and decay. That is where you are headed if you think you will get anything GOOD from this person.

It won't work and likely will only hurt. We know cherry-pickers when we see them.

We are all worried about AGE which certainly has done little to let is down. Wake up, people.

Interloper knowing how to use others. Now we need to get smart and have these people — all of them pay their fair share.

We pay into Social Security with every paycheck all year long.
It’s time to scrap the cap so the ultra-wealthy pay their fair share as well.1 -

You are so right Divine. It is irritating (and there are always a few) to know there are people cheating the system. Most often we hear about it in the form of someone being termed a welfare queen. In my book some of the very biggest ones are NOT those we know are poor.
Watching them go into outer space for a few minutes' grates on my nerves like almost nothing else. The only one I didn't mind was Wm. Schattner. After all those years of Star Trek, it almost seemed like he should.
Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, disgust me. Bill Gates and his divorced wife are the only ones I don't feel a complete sense of revulsion about.

We need a lot more of these types in our government — both sides very much.

Reps. have been trying to grab power for many yrs. now. It is likely too late for it. Don't think they can get there is they continue on as they are. One hot mess of sleaze, disfunction, and weirdo's.

The New York Times just released its obituary of First Lady Rosalynn Carter:
“In the continuum of first ladies after Mrs. Roosevelt, Mrs. Carter broke the mold. Like most of the others, she championed a cause — hers was the treatment of mental illness. But she also immersed herself in the business of the nation and kept a sharp eye on politics, a realm her husband famously claimed to ignore.”
She frequently attended Mr. Carter’s cabinet meetings and traveled abroad to meet with heads of state in visits labeled substantive, not ceremonial. She often sat in on the daily National Security Council briefings held for the president and senior staff.
The couple held a weekly working lunch to discuss policy. Mrs. Carter testified before Congress and lobbied its members. Her handwriting appears on the drafts of many of her husband’s speeches and policy addresses.”Truly sad. I liked former Pres. Carter and thought of Rosalynn as a gracious First Lady. Just got the word she was now in Hospice care and never even considered that it would only be for a couple of days.

NATIONAL TREASURE: Former First Lady Rosalynn Carter dies at 96
by JASON MICIAK
As is the custom down in the deep rural south, the residents of Plains Georgia call him “Mr. Jimmy” when referencing the 39th President of the United States, and today, his bride of 77 years, “Ms. Rosey,” passed away. Rosalynn Carter was 96 years young.
President Carter, who was diagnosed with an aggressive form of melanoma in February and entered hospice care, will almost surely want to join her soon.
Far from shying away from the role of First Lady, and really far from worrying about Vogue magazine, Mrs. Carter grabbed the Eleonor Roosevelt example and ran with it, playing a substantive, not ceremonial role in the White House.
As The Washington Post notes, she was only a few months into the role of First Lady when President Carter sent her to Latin America to explain American foreign policy to a part of the world that Jimmy Carter believed that the U.S. had largely ignored.
The Post writes:
“Her grueling trip took her to seven countries and across more than 12,000 miles in 13 days. Her mission was to explain American foreign policy to a part of the world that her husband believed the United States had neglected.
“She engaged Central and South American government figures on issues that included human rights, beef exports, arms reduction, demilitarization, drug trafficking and nuclear energy. After each day’s talks, she filed a report with the State Department. At many of her meetings, she spoke in Spanish, having recently completed an intensive language course.”
Life magazine probably covered it. Rosalynn would care about that coverage far more than fashion magazines.
Way before the time when most Americans awoke to the issue, Mrs. Carter championed the need for mental health coverage, and its value, back when the subject remained somewhat taboo to talk about.
She desperately wanted to see the passage of the Equal Rights Amendment that has never been inserted into its obvious slot in the Constitution. Mrs. Carter’s deeply held religious views kept her morally opposed to abortion but she never criticized the Roe v. Wade decision and accepted it as the law of the land. Put another way, she matched Joe Biden’s position on the issue.
And it was Rosalynn Carter who convinced her husband to do what turned out to be the most consequential achievement of his presidency. She encouraged President Carter to bring Menachem Begin of Israel and Anwar Sadat of Egypt here, to the U.S., to work out an agreement rather than traveling to the region.
It was at the presidential retreat, Camp David, Md., where President Carter initiated the peace talks in 1978. Mrs. Carter split her time between Camp David and the White House, she provided support and advice as her husband brokered a historic peace agreement between the two nations, the Camp David Accords.
After the election, the Carters went straight back to the tiny town of Plains Georgia, though Jimmy did teach at his alma mater, Georgia Tech for a period, and both actually worked at the Carter Library and Museum in Atlanta.
No one will forget the pictures of Jimmy and Rosalyn working on Habit for Humanity houses into their 90s. In too many ways, the country wasn’t mature enough to appreciate this president and this first lady, so different than some others.
Jimmy Carter is nearly unanimously considered the best “ex-president” in history as he continued to labor for the United States as an ambassador, negotiator, and representative, winning the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002. Rosalynn was always at his side and probably should have been named co-winner.
She will be missed as a national treasure and, perhaps just as importantly, she will be missed as a neighbor to their friends at their tiny church and tiny town. She was, to the very end, a person who could stand as a giant on the world stage, and fit just as naturally, as the small-town neighbor who would open the door to let someone borrow an egg on a Sunday.
God blessed us with Rosalynn Carter, and may God now bless Mrs. Carter personally as she enters his arms.
