One of my players dads has been has been his Secret Service agent for decades. The man is incredible and this is very sad to see him suffer.
Jimmy Carter to begin receiving hospice care
- Thread starter TJ8869
- Start date
A former FSU player joined the Secret Service in 1976, and his first assignment was a guy from Georgia whose name was Jimmy Carter. Spent the next four years in his detail.
This would be a credible post if you’d followed your own advice in the Fetterman thread.
I can't help but think Carter is a model of what a real Christian would live like.
Nope. Not even close. I admire him for a lot of things, and he was a great man, but he was in over his head. He was an incredible Governor, but had no idea how things work inside the beltway, or in the middle east. Everyone in the Intelligence Community and MIC hated him, and did everything they could to destroy him. Congress, including Dems wanted to destroy him.
You responded to a post about the best Post Presidency in kinda shitty terms. Wrong.
Joe: The further we get from Carter's presidency, the more he looks like a Truman-type figure
I would go with John Quincy Adams, but would not disagree with Carter.
It depends on your criteria. Carter and Hoover did a lot of humanitarian work. Q. Adams was a true public servant.
Not heavy on details, but the grandson of Jimmy and Rosalyn says, “The end is near”, for both of them. Even though Rosalyn is experiencing dementia and Jimmy is facing pain and physical hardships they are still able to enjoy time together. And, Jimmy still watches his Braves on TV.
Sadly the article has an imbedded piece about Lauren Boebert. That couldn’t be a bigger 180 from the Carters.

Jimmy And Rosalynn Carter Are 'Coming To The End,' Grandson Says
Jason Carter, chair of The Carter Center, said his grandparents have continued to stay together and "in love" as they face health concerns.
Yes, I read this on another news site. The grandson’s words were perfect, IMO.
I’ve always liked Jimmy Carter. He was a Rickover guy, which tells you how smart he was. Also just a good person.
Another small update from Jason Carter.

Jimmy Carter Is 'Coming To The End,' Grandson Says
The 99-year-old former president entered hospice care at his Plains, Georgia, home in February 2023.
If jimmy were a normal person, they’d start investigating for Medicare fraud after 16 months of hospice.
Godspeed jimmy.
Godspeed jimmy.
I think one of the great things about Jimmy is that he is a normal person. A real guy.
I wouldn’t go that far. You don’t get to be president if you are a normal guy. But I do think he is a sincere guy, which sadly, is a rare thing these days.
He and w are probably my nominees for best post presidential lives for their respective parties.
Read my next post. #94. Right above yours. I could have deleted my original post, but I owned it and made a new comment.
I know that and you know that, but trust me, the HHS Office of Inspector General doesn't know that. If you're getting Medicare hospice coverage based on a physician's 6-month-left cert, you better damn well not hang around too much longer than that.
I think it's pretty reasonable to expect anyone who's 98-99 to have less than 6 month life expectancy. I doubt they'll give this any thought.
Oh, they give this sort of thing plenty of thought...
CMS Increases Hospice Scrutiny through Provider Enrollment and Oversight Tools

I'm Not Dead Yet!
I don't mean this as an insult to Carter who is by all accounts a great person. But he may not be dead but he looks it.
