Jimmy Carter enters hospice care

1980 - GOP interferes with Iranian Hostage negotiations, Reagan wins the presidency.

2000 - Al Gore wins florida, but a GOP controlled Supreme Court and the "Brooks Brothers" riots instigated by GOP operative Roger Stone throws the election to George W Bush.

2016 - Russian interference in the US Election helps throw the election to Donald Trump. Other countries such as China and Egypt are also involved.

2020 - Trump tries to get Ukraine to aid reelection bid.

Face it, the GOP hasn't had a legitimate election win since 1988, and even then, with Iran-Contra it was not fully sound.

A scratching indictment of the most treacherous political party anywhere ever.

But Carter made the most of his post presidency (even though we all had to suffer the vile consequences of Reagan). He is a good man and I also pray he has a peaceful transition.

He's a decent man.
He was a horrible president.
He is one of the only presidents I can remember who used his platform as "former president" to do good post-presidency. He was not obsessed with wealth, as his very modest home and lifestyle prove.

That’s kinda the takeaway I have thought horrible May be too strong a word. As a kid I recall the little push to go metric in school. He may have been a bit too naive (?) politically (eg, on the release of hostages). He was probably too humble or appeared too weak to deal with some countries who would not have respected that kind of posture in a president.

He was a rare bird.

He was right about the metric system and it's a damn shame we didn't adopt it. So stupid to have a cumbersome old system that isn't in sync with the rest of the world just because people are too rigid to adapt to something new and superior to the old ways.

Extremely underrated president

you will quickly see tons of revisionism in new books written after he passes as historians and others re-examine his record

The metric thing would have been helpful and it’s hard to know how things would have turned out without the GOP making secret deals with Iran to keep the hostages longer. Carter is just an intensely decent man.

Ehh. I've lived in metric countries for years (more than a decade actually) and I don't see a particular virtue to metric over American or the old Imperial. If anything, the American/Imperial system is more intuitive to everyday usage and more accurately reflects how we perceive and handle measurement. The current American model where a lot of measurement in industry and packaging is already quietly in metric works just fine and dandy. The reason we haven't switched over to metric is because... there really is no point. It doesn't make anything better or more efficient.

It’s more intuitive because we have 12 fingers and 3 feet? I think maybe you don’t get math if you don’t understand why metric is easier. The only reason it’s not efficient to switch to metric is because we already have everything here set up in the bizarro random system we have now.

Base 12 is better. God screwed up.

I think PP meant it’s more initiative in the sense that an inch is roughly the size of the long bone of an adult thumb, a foot roughly the same size as an adult foot, etc. The measures are somewhat relateable.

Sure, because all men and women have the same thumb and foot size. /s

Even the inventors of the system, the British (and their commonwealth nations), have gone to metric. Even they know it's not more "initiative".

I see you have never been to the UK.

Units in metric are not poetic.

I can see for kilometers and kilometers.

They want their kilo of flesh.

They won't give a centimeter.

God's little hectare.

A cubic meter of apples.

He was right about climate too. He had solar panels put on the white house.

With the attempted GOP destruction of America starting with Reagan, we lost so much.
