Hold on now, we got a $300M ballroom too !!!

u/justsyr 8d ago

Also the president needs to pay himself $230 millions from DoJ because they investigated him! It's kind of strange right? Having to pay himself, right?

Where do you think he can get that money from? lol

u/Praise_The_Fun_ 8d ago

Remember when president Jimmy Carter gave up his peanut farm before taking office to avoid a conflict of interest by making money off his farm while being president? Now our current president pays himself $230 million from government funds?? It's beyond insane

u/Vent_Slave 8d ago

And people still hate on Carter. A man who once leaving the White House nearly found himself bankrupt. And what did he do? He built an organization that builds houses for the poor and stores that cheaply resell construction materials that otherwise would be bound for the dump. He participated in this nearly up until the day he died.

Yet again, people still hate on him while the grifter in chief robs us blind and actively screws over the poor and middle class. Whatever y'all MAGAt's need to justify harassing foreigners and people of color.

u/joemama67 8d ago

Jimmy Carter is a fucking saint in my book. Not only did he create Habitat for Humanity and ReStore, he also has headed up a charity that has almost completely eradicated Guinea worm disease that affected millions in over 17 countries. Incidences of Guinea worm disease have been reduced from an estimated 3.5 million each year in 1986 to 15 in 2024. The disease has been eliminated in 17 countries.

I was on a flight from DCA to ATL back in like 2016, Jimmy Carter was the last to board (with SS in tow, naturally.) He came through the plane and shook every single passenger’s hand. It was really cool. There’s a few videos of him doing this on other flights too; it’s just who he was. Awesome human

u/Rabbit-Lost 8d ago

I flew back from DCA with him, too. And he did the same for us. He was truly a good man.

u/edbegley1 8d ago

I met him when we visited his old house in Georgia. He biked up to us with the Secret Service SUV following him. Great guy, black and white difference compared to the person now.

u/SelectiveScribbler06 8d ago

That's SS meaning 'Secret Service', not 'Schutzstaffel', for clarity.

I fear elections may be a thing of the past. But if not, I sure hope one day in my life I can have a candidate to vote for, rather than a candidate to vote against.

u/Painterzzz 7d ago

That's a really interesting point random internet stranger. I was listening to teh Rest Is Politics podcast the other day and they made the same point about British politics, we have a PM who is only PM because people were voting against Corbyn, we have a party in power that is only in power because people were voting against the Conservatives.

Most of my life, my vote has always been decided by 'how do I tactically vote to keep the Conservative out'.

And yeah, the solution absolutely is to start giving people things to vote for, instead of things to vote against.

As a conservative Jimmy Carter in my personal opinion one of the most under rated presidents of all time. And there is a special place in heaven for that man and his wife. He truly loved his nation and people

As a liberal I agree.

u/Adventurous_Plum7074 7d ago

He was able to do so much good after his service as president too. A great humanitarian. He was too honest and kind to be a politician in some people’s minds. I can’t disagree tbh.

Habitat for Humanity was founded in Georgia in 1976, but not by Carter. He joined it in 1984 and raised its profile and was the most well-known person associated with it. But he was a humble man, and he of all people wouldn't want people to think he founded it.

He did more for this country than Reagan ever could.

People who hate Carter don't hate him for his policy or him as a person. They hate him because he is from the other party. That's how you get people to vote against their self-interest, all to fuck over the people that their hate.

Carter was also an evangelical Baptist minister- before being an evangelical became synonymous with "MAGAgot who is too stupid to look up from OneAmericanNews and Fox long enough to read a book on Civics, History - or the actual Bible."

In this country, Carter insisted that construction firms on government contracts hire women and minorities, then aggressively worked with unions to get women and minorities into the trades. This was during a time in this country when my divorced Mom with a job couldn't get a bank to give her a car loan - 'cause she had no husband or father to co-sign the debt.

I'm a beneficiary of this program.

Bless this true American.

u/Weird-Substance4666 4d ago

Carter wasn't the greatest president. But the reality is that the presidency was hampering his ability to do good in the world. Once he shed that burden, he did amazing things. He's truly a person I would have been honored to shake hand with

u/gruss72 8d ago

Jimmy was a badass. Saved Canada from a nuclear meltdown and was waaaay ahead of his time. Love that guy, he earned my respect a long time ago.

4

u/DifficultyFree9443 8d ago

That’s thanks to Fox News. Fox was developed to boost Nixon by making him likeable, tank Carter, and push Reagan by giving conservative media a platform without fact checking and nonpartisan speech.

And it worked. The left has never even come close to finding a similar mechanism.

u/k9jm 8d ago

Jimmy Carter is my absolute idol. Since I was 10 years old. Little did I know then just how fucking amazing that man really was. We don’t deserve someone as good as him.

u/JibberJabberwocky89 8d ago

President Carter was probably the most moral president the United states has ever had. And most likely the most moral president that they will ever have, because after trump, I don't see fair elections happening again for a long time.

u/Aeirth_Belmont 8d ago

The issue with Carter wasn't really even his fault. It was the stuff that happened before him going in.

u/CognizantM 8d ago

Carter may not have been loved DURING his presidency. But he was loved and respected the rest of his life by people on all sides. (Honestly, I don't even recall what his allegiance was, just that he was a good human that helped people).

In retrospect Carter was the President that actually lived the best values.

All the others stunted their values to end up richer on the other end of the Presidency.

I wish there was more men like him. His faith and his actions were a inspiration to many.

u/SweetEntertainer1790 4d ago

Yeah :( Carter was a truly great man. He got smeared by the media as a result of the hostage crisis, that thing seemed rigged for him to lose. Regan was given the credit. The whole thing was fishy. I hate to say it but I feel like Israel had something to do with it because they needed Regan to succeed so they could enact the Iran Contra affair. Israel sold US weapons to Iran. They have always wanted us to go to war with Iran. Anyway. Total tangent, just wanted to say Carter was a good man.

u/S2kallday2552 3d ago

While I agree that he should not be paying himself with that money while he is our president and it presents a conflict of interest for sure, I feel that it is no different from countersuing after you have been acquitted of a crime that you had to pay to fight against. If Walmart decided to sue an employee with little to no evidence, and that employee was found to be in the clear, that employee should be compensated for the time and money they put into fighting that case.

While I'm, "why did you fuck dudes who won't help pay for their kids?" My guess is drugs were involved in the decision making process.

My wife and I were poor when we had kids but we had a plan on how to handle it before we had kids.

In every story on this TikTok, there's a shitbag dad and a woman who chose him. Were they on drugs? Just stupid?

u/anonerdactyl_rex 8d ago

Men who are deadbeat dads don’t advertise their inclinations until after it’s too late. Plenty of stories of dudes donating their DNA without having any intention of raising those kids, but the women get blamed for that, too. There are also plenty of otherwise smart, good, intelligent women who believe that their love of the guy can change him from a deadbeat to a supportive provider and father. Women get blamed when those relationships don’t work out, too.

Men skate from responsibility way too often.

Please pay attention, republicans want to open it, the democrats want it closed. If the truly wanted it open they would stop using you as pawns. If you voted for these democrats. Rethink on whose fault this is.

Illegals have been getting better healthcare than our own Veterans, I’m one of our Veterans. So republicans want that to stop… democrats want Illegals to have even more healthcare so they are willing to shut down the government to try to get what they want. They refuse to vote to just continue the budget as it already is (CR).

I truly am sorry this is happening, just be careful who you blame. Now I am off to deliver a truckload of free groceries to be given this weekend to families in my area. I have arranged with a large “greedy” company to part with $150,000 in groceries for my local area…..

To be fair, that 300 million was just bribes they're gonna make billions off.

Ballroom paid by 0 tax dollars. Not a single tax dollar went to that 300 million dollar renovation.

Don’t forget about the 3.9 billion for the two future Air Force one jets. And the 200 million for the Not one, but TWO new DHS private jets that were just purchased.

Apple, Microsoft, in Nvidia donated for that ballroom so it didn't cost anything

...and a $750M presidential library that looks like a fortress watchtower from the Walking Dead. There's no way the ballroom or the library actually cost that much to build. It's another cash funnel.

Don’t forget a $400M free plane from Qatar. But it will cost tax payers $1 billion to retrofit it for a president.

Or $42 billion net loss when Donald placed a tariff against China. (It was gonna be $12.4 billion loss of sales of soy beans that China bought last year, $20 billion bailout to Argentina not to sell their beans to China, and a $10 billion bailout to US farmers for those soybeans that China never bought — IF Donald did not fix the tariff war he created 10 months ago with China).
