Carter’s State Funeral…

[joelbc1]

You think any of the messages of the eulogies being given for the former President are registering with the current President-elect?
None are saints… but Carter and Trump are the extremes for those sitting in “the front row” today.
I wonder what Trump and Obama were conversing about so intently before the service began?

Can’t register if you don’t have a soul.

Jimmy Carter's funeral, and the eulogies given by so many people, will never be heard at a Donald Trump funeral. They are about grace and morals and values and character. Biden specifically stressing those qualities. Trump sat there like a slump dump unable to even open his eyes or raise his head, as those qualities will never be discussed when discussing him. The juxtaposition of all the qualities of Carter with Trump sitting there is hard to ignore and obviously so easy for everyone attending the funeral and watching on TV to see. So sad on all accounts.

When Jimmy Carter Was Silent on Civil Rights​

Early in his career, the future president concealed his support for integration to protect his business and his political prospects​

And Donald Trump screwed porno prostitutes and then paid them to shut up. What's your point? One was obviously a wonderful man, and the other one is disgusting. It was all brought to light during this funeral.

I enjoyed the story Jimmy's grandson told about when Jimmy got his first cell phone.

The president-elect has a hard time not making everything about him. Even a state funeral

If only he really knew how many of us want it to be all about him.

I caught a bit of Steve Ford's words from his dad, which were very nice and genuine. You can always tell when someone writes something personally.

Yep. It's clear they all hate trump.

I have to say, it's not every day you get to see a Baptist funeral that ends with a song containing the lyrics "imagine there's no heaven".

A strange coda.

Obama told trump he'll be the only dead president with no former presidents attending his memorial.

Then laughed about it.

I don't think giving him the cold shoulder necessarily gets you anything good.

A happy Trump is a more malleable Trump. Perhaps his inclusion in events like this will help to normalize his behavior.

I said perhaps. I was being optimistic.

If Obama or others can sway him in a positive direction through friendship, so be it

Carter was an enigma.

Willie Nelson, Greg Allman, Dusty Baker, Hang Aaron and many others have talked about hanging with Carter while he was governor of Georgia. Apparently he use to invite them to the state house for lunch.

Willie Nelson supposedly snuck away and smoked some weed on one of his visits to the White House.

Biden's handlers couldn't help themselves. It sums up his presidency.

Haha you are so douchey

Sounds like that eulogy must have hit too close to home for some of the cult members. It was spot on. You could just see Bonespurs squirming in his seat as he listened to all the wonderful things about Carter that he knew in his heart were nowhere close to him and would never be spoken about him. well, I hope it was that and that he didn't shit his pants again today.

He's going to be shocked when the first presidential approval polls and Trump is under 50% approval after barely a few days in office.

Trump winning again doesn't change that he's unpopular. It only means he was going against someone else who was unpopular.

Biden???....jfc, you've got to kidding....

 

[sabula]

Biden???....jfc, you've got to

Guess you didn't watch the funeral. Biden specifically addressed those qualities in what he thought a president should be and Jimmy Carter was. Probably the first 2 minutes of his eulogy. If you miss that you need to go back to school and work on comprehension of big words.

Did you learn about the friendship between Carter and Gerald Ford today? I did. Fascinating story of how two classy men became friends.
