That may be true. What is 100% certain is there has never been a Republican who is not evil incarnate.

Tabby is right.

😢 Sad news.

I mourn Carter’s passing, and disagree with your wife

💯💙RIP Jimmy Carter💙

❤️

She is probably right. His decency is why he did not fare very well as president, yet has an incredible post-presidency reputation. Decent people by and large are no longer welcome in politics.

Bernie Sanders is a decent man!

Hi Stephen 👋 Hey l see that you follow a lot of your fans here. If you're interested in meeting someone really cool. You can hit me up anytime!!

Obama is decent.

He’s probably relieved he won’t have to live through another Trump presidency. 😢

Yup...but now we have Trump. ♥️👍

She’s right

American politics.

Your wife is correct

Unfortunately, I think she is correct.

Tabitha speaks the truth!

True.

nah - we still have Bernie

Pete Buttigieg

I’m inclined to agree with your wife!

She's right.

Obama is a decent man as well. And let's not forget John McCain. But, certainly, decent men in politics are a dying breed.

Obama and McCain are and were not decent

A person who never overlooked the underprivileged and lived their life in alignment with their beliefs.

Barrack?

agree

She ain’t lying.

Jamie Raskin

Truth

Your wife is so right 💔🙏

We in Canada still have a couple. I believe that Bob Rae is a man of honour. I believe Joe Clark is a man of honour. Despite Pukey's Russian bots, I believe Justin Trudeau is a man of honour. Remember, being honourable does not mean you have made no mistakes.

I agree with her.

Jimmy Carter never sought to personally cash in on his presidency, lived a modest lifestyle and spent the rest of his life helping others.

I was born in 1973. I believe he was President in '77? My mom lived during his presidency and Reagan, Clinton, both Bush's, Obama. (My mom passed away from Colon Cancer in May 2016). Before Trump became President. Thank God she didn't have to deal with him.

Agreed.

From a time when America did politics seriously, diligently.

Such a fundamentally good and decent man. This is heartbreaking.

Yes he was. He and his wife define what it means to be good people. We lost a great soul.

I remember our junior high school band playing for him when he stopped in our city, while he campaigned for POTUS.

What about Bernie?

Not many left for sure but Bernie is still chugging.

Your wife is 100% correct.

100% agree

I am so sorry that we could not come through for him in this election.

Decency has lost a remaining pillar.

Sad news for me, having grown up in Atlanta, and been inspired by his work all my life. His life and legacy remains an inspiration for underdogs around the world #projectunderdoginternational

Hey Stephen it looks like you and sounds like you, is it really you???? I can't believe it. I love your books and your politics. Nice talking with you.

And your wife is a 100% right. An honest to goodness good man. Bless you Jimmy

throughly decent human I met him in DC, 1980. We were in DC from Australia while Dad was working there He spent 15minutes speaking with my mum and I on his way out of church

Perhaps the only!

He was a truly great human. As an atheist I can say he was what I wanted a Christian to be. I hope that if heaven exists he is with Rosalyn. R.I.P. President Carter.

In heaven he is being welcomed with the biggest smile ever.

She is probably right.

Absolutely agree

Check out Andy Kim, our new NJ Senator.

Saddest picture I’ve ever seen was Andy Kim picking up the the trash the insurrectionists left at the Capitol. Alone

Yeah, and look what they did to him: www.pbs.org/newshour/sho... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1980_Oc...

Reagan knew, I'm sure. He was a sneaky snake as governor, even worse as prez. Of course "Iran-Contra" was the payoff. What a bunch of shitheads. But I'm afraid that will be toddler games compared to what we're in for now.

Reagan absolutely knew.

I always suspected this might have been the case. Good to my suspicions were on target.

Not really anything we didn't know all the way back, just confirmed it.

As usual, a republican against a good man

Probably true

Sounds like he was a decent man all round.

He was a wonderful person who demonstrated his values through his actions.

He lived his values not just gave lip service to them

So true. I recall seeing a photo of him working away at a Habitat for Humanity project with his face bruised and swollen after falling at home. Nothing could keep this good man down through the years because he had stuff to do to benefit so many.

I don’t think that’s true. Obama and Biden are both decent men. And we also have decent women in politics. We are just too stupid to elect them.

Oh please... May I remind you and your wife about Obama and Biden (oh that's right you were all aboard for him not to run for a 2nd term). Carter was great, no question, but the last decent man in politics? 🙄 How ignorant. I plan on burning every book I ever purchased written by you.

Take a pill!

I agree with Stephen. The last you just mentioned were hell bent on paying for and encouraging war crimes against humanity in Palestine. 🇵🇸

Obama deported millions and droned thousands of people in the Middle East, he may have been a good speaker and well mannered, but his policies were not great.

lol

She's a keeper Steve.

I agree with your wife. He had nothing but love for others in his heart.

Obama and John McCain were/are also fairly decent people.

The innocent people killed in airstrikes Obama approved might say otherwise.

Show me a recent president that did not kill anyone 🤷

Congratulations, you've learned that every US president in History in an imperialist prick.

You might want to read the initial post again dude 🤣

What about it? Do you think Carter *wasn't* an imperialist prick? I reckon people in East Timor won't agree.

Totally missing the point 🤷

What would the point be then, buddy?

Pretty close to be 100% correct.

Yeah no one will ever say that about you:

You know this man has written some of the greatest novels that will be in circulation for hundreds of years until "our" language changes. This is fact. "The Man in Black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed." Alone...is one of the best openings ever. Cheers

And your audacity excusing this heinous act, because he’s a phenomenal writer. He can be the greatest writer of all time but he still showed who he is: a white man, a privileged coloniser.

That wasn't said at all. I said he will be a part of our culture and yes when he dies there will be public...attention. I like Lovecraft stories. Doesn't mean the man is good. He was a racist dick. But.....

I used that photo precisely to illustrate the point that even the greatest public figures must be held accountable for their problematic positions. Even Carter; great humanitarian with re Palestinians & Habitat for Humanity but my God, E. Timor & Suharto, not to mention El Salvador.

I am 56 years old. My first Stephen King book was Pet Sematary at 14. I am fully aware who he is. I’m also fully aware that in 449 days of genocide, he did not use his platform ONCE to say ONE WORD about it, in spite of legions of his fans like me, begging him to. The audacity of this T-shirt tho…

What is your malfunction?

Really? I’m the one malfunctioning for calling him out for wearing a t-shirt widely abhorred by those trying to stop the dems from genocide? Read your own question again. And get off social media and learn about your country.

"Really?" Yeah. You sound like a weird piece of shit.

Blue MAGA is alive and well. Enjoy your cognitive dissonance. I’ll look up your “omg the genocide of Palestinians… I lived through that… it was horrible! I was against it this whole time!” And thank your for your lovely language. You can always tell when someone can’t hold an argument.

Oh, I see you value queer people and a people with a history of viciously murdering them with no indication they plan on stopping anytime soon, that's fun. User added to list "Chickens for KFC".

Take your list and shove it up your fucking ass. I’ve been here since 7/23, in our progressive communities, fighting on the right side of history, only for blue MAGA to finally run from evil Elon and come here and do the same red MAGA was doing to them on Xitter. FOH…

Take your own advice. If you can’t handle an argument don’t walk in unprepared. Dumbass.

This is the argument every MAGA will give you. You love gays so much why don’t you move there. A) my son is trans (1 of 2)

B) The LGBTQ2S+ community has literally been fighting at the forefront of every human rights issue you can think of, even for communities who often haven’t treated them kindly. Because our activism isn’t based on who is going to let us have a parade. (2 of 3)

It’s based on the notion that all human beings deserve protection of their human rights. I know as an American who values the lives of all people you understand that? Or just not brown people being bombed by America?

"You love gays" They're "homosexual individuals". "Gays" is dehumanizing. Weird that you'd do that, with all those virtuous flag emojis in your dumb pick-me profile.

Keep moving the flagpoles because you have zero intelligent comebacks…

This is great activism, by the way. You're doing terrific.

She is right. 😢

I agree with her

She forgot about Joe Biden and Barack Obama.

No she didn't.

Let's agree you're wrong.

Yes, I can agree that you're wrong.

They are good men, but Carter went the extra mile. I somehow can't see Obama or Biden building a house for somebody, although we'll have to see what Biden does when he becomes a former President.

She's probably right

She might be right.

You have a lovely, intelligent wife ❤️

Your wife is right.

Perhaps not his final act. Will flags not be at half staff on January 20?

IIRC, law states the flags will be at half staff for thirty (30) days after the President's death. So we'll still be a country in mourning on Inauguration Day.

Indeed. I can visualize President Carter checking his calendar, counting the days until he can go on to join Rosalyn, holding on just a few more, for good measure

Absolutely! After a lifetime of selfless giving and service, President Carter gave us one hell of a parting gift. We deeply mourn.

No. Moses Johnson ordered them to be flown high in DC. They should be flown upside down and half staff for the wanna be hitlers' Inauguration.

I hope so. They are supposed to be but the orange baboon isn’t happy with that, so who knows.

Does your wife not know about Barack Obama?

I’m with your wife. A man of character and compassion.

Jimmy Carter's integrity was unmatched. His humanitarian work post-presidency speaks volumes. A true loss for our nation.

He was great but I think Bernie is still an equal.

Your wife is probably correct.

I get your wifes sentiments. I do think, though, that some good ones remain.

She’s right!

Ralph Nader still here...Winsted, CT

What do you say Steve?

Your wife is a wise woman.

You were literally alive when he said races shouldn’t mix you stupid old bitch

Agreed!🤙🏽

Joe Biden is also a very decent man. They’re disappearing quickly though.

Man's literally arming and funding a genocide.

I agree. He is a very decent human being who has worked his entire life doing for us, and the people in Delaware what he believed to be the right thing. Admittedly, those who surround him and love him, should have talked him out of rerunning. Allowing him to rerun, did him a terrible disservice

Whom, I fear he’ll go down in history as another who was reluctant to ‘pass the torch’. Had he done so, he would have allowed the American people to select a new, younger, more vibrant fresh face as candidate. Oh! And he did the absolute right thing pardoning his son. Had he not done so, the

Next Trump administration would have taken all their ill will towards the Biden administration and persecuted him.

Correct.

💯 truth

Yep because he gave us all Ronald Reagan.

🤣🤣

I couldn’t agree more with her.

Yes. If you divide the last hundred years of American politics into two, you have Roosevelt's new deal through to Carter on one side, and Reagan's trickle-down through to Trump on the other.

I mean, I loved Paul Wellstone.

Respect. He truly was a good man. Joe Biden is a good man.

I agree with your wife.

Great man, saved the Canadian capital from the nuclear disaster. bsky.app/profile/cdnh...

I had no idea! Thank you. That’s one more reason to think of him as a great human being.

There's so much I've learned about him in the last few days I am absolutely astounded at his good works. A flawed human being like everybody but he transcended that and we should all be able to do the same.

Guess you didn’t learn he was worth over $10M. I thought you didn’t like rich ppl?

He actually did things with his life that improved society in fact he dedicated his life to it. Unlike others who dedicate themselves to social climbing parties and occasional charitable acts.

His legacy will show the good he did while in office, but feature his work once he left office. He and Roslyn SHOWED us all, what humble service to others looks like. They were amazing. Truthfully, I’m happy that he has joined his beloved wife. I’m sure they are in each other’s arms in heaven.

I’m proud to say that I voted for him twice!

Reagan got a lot of credit for the things that Jimmy Carter did.

There are still some. But harder and harder to come by..

www.gofundme.com/f/support-sa...

I still think Joe is a decent man. There are still a few.

I agree Some of the most popular that I see mentioned, in my opinion, are more revered for a few meritorious reasons, but on a more deeper level, they’ve knowingly participated in, and have turned a blind eye to very serious systemic problems that allows for Govn’t corruption - without intervention

I completely agree. He was a very decent man, with a good heart.

💔🙏

His push for green energy in an age of fossil fuel fervour 45 years ago was visionary and well ahead of its time. This deserves our respect. Vale Jimmy

Carter had solar panels installed on the White House. Reagan had them removed. Republicans were the most awful humans back then too.

Not a Republican, but Eisenhower was probably the last decent one before Nixon used the southern strategy to gain and maintain power.

I detest Reagan! He was not as good a president as the republicans seem to think he was.

Reagan and Gingrich are the roots of current Republican evil.

She's right.

I agree with your wife 100%.❤️😔

His passing surely opened a portal bigger than the Pope's portal opening...

Your wife is correct♥️

Stephen...you wife could be right. Jimmy was different. "He not busy being born is busy dying." This was Jimmy Carter quoting Bob Dylan in his 1976 presidential campaign. Carter’s use of the line signaled awareness and intellectual depth. A President who cared. #timeforbetterleaders #caremore

I think he saw the whole of the moon.

I think Obama is a decent man. Americans should elect more people like Carter and Obama and less like Bush and Trump .

I thought he was. Certainly the ACA was a significant benefit to the US. But his post-presidency life deeply disappointed me. Unlike Carter, who dedicated himself to Habitat for Humanity, Obama cashed in--million dollar speeches, Netflix and Spotify deals, etc. Then his Covid birthday bash...

He’s not Jimmy Carter, true, but let’s not demonize him for being different and choosing a different path, after all he is a young man and not sure is easy to find your way after being the president of the United States

I don't feel like I'm demonizing him. Just being honest that I'm personally disappointed by his actions post-presidency, which--to me--seem more profit-focused than people-focused.

But look at what he’s building on the south side of Chicago. Very good things may come from there. And the Netflix deal has produced some excellent work.

She is probably right.

I think she is right. He was a true American that made life better however way he could. We need more of the values and ways he had with making things happen peacefully!

He was a truly great man.

and Joe minus Anita Hill

I agree with her.

I agree with Tabitha.

Your wife is spot on I'd say 🙂

A beyond decent man, yes. Also, I think Joseph Biden has been very decent--ridiculously decent to the point of frustrating people, which, by the way, Jimmy Carter was and did as well. Now, for all the money in the world, DJT couldn't buy the respect or honor each have earned in the public eye.

He keeps sending bombs to Israel.

Love Joe Biden.

😢

Wives are always right. 😁

Last decent man... period.

Sounds like you have a pretty intelligent wife. He was the best man.

Your wife is very wise.

#Truth

He was easily the most honest.

He was.

He was a great man. But, he got to go be with his beloved Rosalynn. 😢RIP

I wrote a paper on Carter in college and I do have to agree with your wife.

Yes. I believe she is right. He will be missed. A man of character that few can match! 😢🌷 He lived a long life but it’s a little darker without him.

Perhaps Habitat for Humanity will see a rise in volunteers or donations dedicated in his honour

Your wife is right

This is SOOOO not true 🤦🏻‍♀️

I suppose he was 😢

He was on the receiving end of a lot of shifty politics. Prolife started with him. Don’t tread on me shit started with him. Now we find out that the Reagan administration was working thro back channels to keep American citizens held hostage for an additional 3 months to steal the election.

It was common knowledge at the time!

Amen

Your wife is absolutely right, in this and in all things. #teamtabitha

May we prove her wrong someday soon.

Sheldon Whitehouse deserves a word

She’s not wrong.

I totally agree. He didn't just preach his faith, he lived it until the very end, always in the service of others. RIP, Mr. President.

She’s right. 😞

When that orange blob dies she’ll have to switch the name, add an “e” to that “last”, but other than that no further changes to that statement are required.

He was certainly the best former President of my lifetime.

He set a high bar for what it means to be a leader with moral courage. Carter was among the last of a breed of politicians who put country over party — integrity, compassion and principle who put service above self-interest.

Yes, President Carter epitomizes decency. May he rest in heavenly peace. 🙏 ❤️ 🕊️ 🇺🇸 🗽 But least we forget that we have another decent man who currently sits in the White House...President Joseph Biden.

Carter was the best ex-president in recent memory.

I think Biden is incredibly decent.

May his memory be a blessing. 🕎

She right. That's why they sent him packing.

I don't think there's been anyone more decent in American politics for at least the last 60 years

Your wife was absolutely correct🍷❤️🌹💯

I think there are a couple more still- Sheldon Whitehouse, Jamie Raskin, Doug Jones, and Tim Walz come to mind.

Not the last. Joe Biden lives.

We still have Bernie! 🙏🏽

www.bbc.com/news/world-u...

Bernie is right! We all know people that voted for Trump. They aren't racist and sexist, they are just naive and buy into his bs.

I loved that little cameo in the Dead Zone where Johnny shakes his hand and tells Carter he’s going to be president

She isn't wrong.

I absolutely agree.

Not sure about that, Stephen ... but here's what I shared about the passing of President Jimmy Carter earlier. #RIP. bsky.app/profile/iang...

He was. 😢

She's right.

True

Can’t argue with that.

& it's crazy 2 realize that evangelicals of 2day wouldn't vote 4 him. An honorable man of deep faith who served his country during World War II & who quietly prayed with his feet his entire life. We've lost a giant statesman & a champion 4 all of humanity. 🇺🇸I'm holding his family in my heart. 💙

She’s quite right

He was certainly the last decent human we elected as president!

Your new T-Shirt.

Credit to Bernie who vibes like Jimmy.

Your wife is right.

Next to last. #Bernie

Jimmy Carter was a great Christian, but absolutely clueless in politics.

Nobody cares about your religion. But Carter was a great leader, not a clueless fascist like Musk.

The driving force behind Jimmy Carter’s actions were his Christian beliefs … one might wonder if he would have done them with out that force.

Good for him. On the other hand, fascist leaders like Trump and Putin also define themselves as christians. Maybe there's just good and bad leaders?

How do you define a “fascist”?

A far-right, authoritarian, and ultranationalist leader, often with back up from big companies?

Are you implying big companies and oligarchs did not support the current administration?

Are you changing topics?

And, not a Marxist! Yay!!!!

Americans seem to have no clue what Marxism is. Your Democrats are Social Democrats at best.

The Democratic Party’s main website used to show the name of the party as “Socialist Democratic Party” … they took it down when people started asking questions.

Who cares? Forget about it! Your new president is a fascist clown, don't you care at all?

I could not care less about his religion. He was a great humanitarian who believed in human dignity. He also has some great accomplishments on his foreign policy. Clueless? I don’t think so! millercenter.org/president/ca... And his domestic accomplishments millercenter.org/president/ca...

Yeah… by a mile.

Tabitha is wrong. Obama. 💖

She is absolutely correct.

Tell your wife that Barack Obama was a decent man.

I must agree with your wife... He will be missed 😢

We still have Bernie.

He's probably right.

lolok

My first vote. RIP, Jimmy Carter.

Tell your wife I said “Hi”.

She is correct. Obama certainly came close. I think Tim Walz could be similar.

She is not wrong.

True.

Add republican in between

Bernie Sanders is with us. Bernie is decent.

Hey Grim Reaper! Wrong Former President! I should have been more specific.
