This is DISGUSTING, even for Trump:
Former President Trump mocked former President Jimmy Carter at an Iowa event, just one day after the Carter family revealed Rosalynn Carter's entry into hospice care.
Trump, criticizing Biden in Fort Dodge, Iowa, quipped, "the happiest
The Gallup poll conducted between October 24 and 26 of 1980 had Jimmy Carter leading Reagan 45% to 42% among likely voters, 47% to 39% among registered voters.
If Biden insists on running the Dems should hold a primary on who his running mate should be. Shouldn’t we be able to vote on the next President? The people did not choose Kamala.
More than four decades later, a secret revealed: How a prominent Texas politician says he unwittingly joined a mission to sabotage Jimmy Carter's 1980 campaign by urging the Iranians to hold 52 American hostages until after the election.
Trump releases a letter from a doctor declaring that the former president's "overall health is excellent" and "cognitive exams were exceptional." But the three-paragraph letter included no details, no test results, no specifics on which anyone could draw an independent judgment.
A special birthday message just went up on the North Lawn of the White House from the Bidens for a former resident here. President Carter turns 99 Sunday.

We have arrived at peak stupid stuff old rich tech men tweet. On the plus side, they are daily proving the thesis at the end of my upcoming book for me. Thanks, bros!
For more than 40 years after leaving the presidency, Jimmy Carter and his wife Rosalynn have lived in a two-bedroom house worth less than $200,000. Contrast that humility with Clinton, Bush, or Obama, using the White House as a springboard to become generational oligarchs.

He does not believe that votes were changed, or that there was rampant fraud. He does believe that if you were to quantify the effect of Russian interference, that it would account for Trump’s winning margins in key states.
The last time inflation rose 7 percent annually was back in 1982.
And the latest consumer price report shows that costs are continuing to spike for Americans across many categories.
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY): “The countries that have been attacked, Georgia and Ukraine, were part of the Soviet Union ... since the 1920s.”
Secretary of State Antony Blinken: “That does not give Russia the right to attack them.”
I can't believe it took this long to come out. He ran an entire campaign in 2017 and nobody checked his divorce records?! What the hell is going on over there?! If any Dems in SC need a real oppo researcher, I'm in GA. I can make the trip.

My grandparents are living under the strictest COVID protocols. The decision to not attend the inauguration was made purely for reasons of health. They would have loved to attend under any other circumstance.

Mike Pompeo: “Susan and I have concluded, after much consideration and prayer, that I will not present myself as a candidate to become President of the United States in the 2024 election.”
Kevin McCarthy is so desperate for a promotion that he's reportedly making concessions to far-right extremists like Marjorie Taylor Greene. -

I'm so grateful you posted this. It sparked a happy memory:
In 1988 we went on an extended family vacation to several countries in Africa while my grandfather met with their leaders. I remember him telling us some specifics about the deal w/ Merck at dinner one night. I was 11.
I'd like to share a little story about Jimmy Carter, starting with a reporter's keepsake.
These are the notes President Carter handed me after I met him at a $MRK event to celebrate the company's collaboration with the Carter Center to end river blindness. A thread. 1/7
