I know literally nothing about the Jimmy Carter administration from when he was president. anything noteworthy other than the fact that he was a peanut farmer?

These are the things people talk about. He also put solar panels on the White House.

 

[Rome's rightful successor]

Jimmy Carter as flawed of a President as he was, was one of the very few Presidents from the mid 20th century onwards that didn't start any new wars. That should should count for something.

Frankly I'm still in disbelief how many people supported Vivek to begin with.

Never pajeets. I don't care what he says, who he knows, how he acts. Never pajeets.

I blame Jersh, he said Vivek didn't smell like curry in a Mati once (he asked and then reported on the answer given)

Who will watch the peanut farms now?

Elon will hire some jeets to farm the peanuts

A few parts of his presidency included:

Created the Department of Education and Department of Energy
Bungled the Iran hostage crisis
Let OPEC fuck us in the ass
Sold the Panama Canal
When the Soviets invaded Afghanistan, he opted to fund the Mujahideen, a move that wouldn't come back to bite us in the ass

The highlight of his term was getting absolutely crushed in the 1980 election by Reagan

Trump speaks up:


Biden's statement:

Today, America and the world lost an extraordinary leader, statesman, and humanitarian.


Over six decades, we had the honor of calling Jimmy Carter a dear friend. But, what’s extraordinary about Jimmy Carter, though, is that millions of people throughout America and the world who never met him thought of him as a dear friend as well.


With his compassion and moral clarity, he worked to eradicate disease, forge peace, advance civil rights and human rights, promote free and fair elections, house the homeless, and always advocate for the least among us. He saved, lifted, and changed the lives of people all across the globe.


He was a man of great character and courage, hope and optimism. We will always cherish seeing him and Rosalynn together. The love shared between Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter is the definition of partnership and their humble leadership is the definition of patriotism.


We will miss them both dearly, but take solace knowing they are reunited once again and will remain forever in our hearts.


To the entire Carter family, we send our gratitude for sharing them with America and the world. To their staff – from the earliest days to the final ones – we have no doubt that you will continue to do the good works that carry on their legacy.


And to all of the young people in this nation and for anyone in search of what it means to live a life of purpose and meaning – the good life – study Jimmy Carter, a man of principle, faith, and humility. He showed that we are great nation because we are a good people – decent and honorable, courageous and compassionate, humble and strong.


To honor a great American, I will be ordering an official state funeral to be held in Washington D.C. for James Earl Carter, Jr., 39th President of the United States, 76th Governor of Georgia, Lieutenant of the United States Navy, graduate of the United States Naval Academy, and favorite son of Plains, Georgia, who gave his full life in service to God and country.

He was history's greatest monster.

Here is something that elaborates on his time in office. His domestic policy decisions didn't go over well and the effects his foreign policy moves had were mixed but generally those weren't all that great either.

Jimmy Carter, 39th president and Nobel Peace Prize winner, dies at 100, his son says
RIP the worst President ever.

Second worst. Let's go Brandon.

 

[Nacho Man Randy Salsa]

Carter was too good for the American people, he laid down some hard truths about our energy, and expected the American people to endure the hardship like it was the war and the American people rejected him and voted Reagan.

My mom was a kid back then, and she always tells me that her memory of Carter is that everything got really expensive except for Peanut Butter.

I'll put my opinion in that he wasn't entirely bad. The one really good thing he did whilst President was cutting some of the curriculum from the School of the Americas (a US run school in Nation-building and military tactics for South American countries), because we were training them in shit like counter-insurgency torture techniques. Reagan re-instituted all the things Carter cut, and that decision directly led to the cartels we have to deal with now. The biggest cartels are led by former alumni of the School of the Americas, who recognized that CIA-quality torture and subversion tactics are useful against more than just insurgents.

 

[The Last Stand]

Not to be that guy, but neither Trump nor Biden should say anything about Carter since they haven't done a good job running the country either.

 

[Clown College 2nd Year]

Hahaha I just talked to my dad who turned 80 this year and he couldn't think of a single accomplishment or good thing Carter did during his president. For my dad the Iranian hostage crisis was the single biggest fuck up Carter made and basically cast a pall over his entire presidency.

 

[UnKillFill]

Also, fuck Carter. Dude saw Americans surrfering because of his incompetence, shivering because of an energy crisis, and the nigga told people to put on a sweater. I don't even consider him a good person outside of being a bad president.

 

[General Emílio Médici]

I think one of his worst moves was letting the Anti-Nuclear Energy meme take over after Three Mile Island. The entire thing was one huge bout of hysteria, barely any radiation was leaked and he fucking KNEW IT because he was literally a nuclear technician while he was in the navy. Instead of being a man and laying down the facts he folded like a bitch and kneecapped the entire nuclear movement to appease to green hippies who were being played by Big Oil, which only made the later energy crisis worse.

 

[The Last Stand]

What I'm most upset is that Jimmy Carter managed to reach 100 years old, but Betty White was not. Life is unfair sometimes.

 

[teriyakiburns]

I had no idea he was still alive tbh

Neither did he, to be fair.

Carter's presidency was a comedy of errors. One thing that stands out to me was Operation Eagle Claw, the failed rescue attempt for the Iranian embassy hostages. Everything that could go wrong did.

Operation Eagle Claw (Persian: عملیات پنجه عقاب) was a failed operation by the United States Armed Forces ordered by U.S. President Jimmy Carter to attempt the rescue of 53 embassy staff held captive at the Embassy of the United States, Tehran, on 24 April 1980. The operation, one of Delta Force's first,[1] encountered many obstacles and failures and was subsequently aborted. Eight helicopters were sent to the first staging area called Desert One, but only five arrived in operational condition.[2] One had encountered hydraulic problems, another was caught in a sand storm, and the third showed signs of a cracked rotor blade. During the operational planning, it was decided that the mission would be aborted if fewer than six helicopters remained operational upon arrival at the Desert One site, despite only four being absolutely necessary.[2] In a move that is still discussed in military circles, the field commanders advised President Carter to abort the mission, which he did.[3]

As the U.S. forces prepared to withdraw from Desert One, one of the remaining helicopters crashed into a transport aircraft that contained both servicemen and jet fuel. The resulting fire destroyed both aircraft and killed eight servicemen.[2] In the context of the Iranian Revolution, Iran's new leader, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, stated that the mission had been stopped by an act of God ("angels of God") who had foiled the U.S. mission in order to protect Iran and his new Islamist government. In turn, Carter blamed his loss in the 1980 U.S. presidential election mainly on his failure to secure the release of the hostages. The American hostages were released the day of Ronald Reagan's inauguration.

I'm not going to celebrate the death of a decent human being. The man should not have been president, but what he did after his president spoke volumes about his quality as a human being. The spirit of service to your fellow man, most certainly those in need, is something I deeply respect.

Just a  really poor president.

Didn't he write a screed about leaving his church because they weren't accepting enough of the heckin' homos?

Biden's statement:

Neither sounds like they came from them. Wonder how long their teams had those ready.
