His son confirmed the death but did not provide an immediate cause. In a statement in February 2023, the Carter Center said the former president, after a series of hospital stays, would stop further medical treatment and spend his remaining time at home under hospice care. He had been treated in recent years for an aggressive form of melanoma skin cancer, with tumors that spread to his liver and brain.
“I say to you quite frankly that the time for racial discrimination is over. The test of a government is not how popular it is with the powerful and privileged few, but how honestly and fairly it deals with the many who must depend upon it.”
We could use more of that today.
The age of being able to quote a US President to actually say something meaningful, intelligent and insightful is over.
From a Canadian that appreciates President Carter, a significant world leader … RIP President Carter
Wow, this quote didn’t age well at all.
Welp, I’m sad now
Immediate cause? The man was 100yo. Even without other circumstance that is cause.
Whatever the success of his presidency, he’s another one who gave a damn, unlike what we’re heading into in the next 3 weeks.
He’s the last one who gave a damn.
reminder that republicans conspired with iran to hold american hostages on foreign soil until after the election to harm president carter and elect ronald raygun and rewarded them with weapons which they used the profits of to arm terrorists in south america.
Truly the last of the great ones.
o7 mr. President, may you rest in peace.deleted by creator
Um, not even close. Clinton and Obama gave a damn about looking like they gave a damn. Clinton did almost as much damage to this country as Reagan, and would have done more of his presidency wasn’t sidelined by a blowjob. The best thing Obama did was implement a right wing healthcare plan from the same Heritage Foundation that brought us project 2025. He set the stage for the private capital takeover of healthcare that’s driving up prices and driving Doctors to leave practice entirely.
People really don’t understand how incredibly evil Clinton was. NAFTA was the worst thing to happen to the concepts of labor rights in the US, and the crime bill was just Jim Crow under a new name.
