Jimmy Carter celebrates his 100th birthday on Tuesday, making him the first US president to reach the milestone.
Carter, a Democrat who served in the White House from 1977 to 1981, has spent the past 19 months in hospice care in his home state of Georgia.
But the former peanut farmer, who first entered politics in the 1960s as a state senator, is “emotionally engaged and still having experiences and laughing, loving,” his grandson, Jason, said in September.
And the centenarian still has political ambitions: “I’m only trying to make it to vote for Kamala Harris” in November’s election, the humanitarian and Nobel Prize recipient said, according to his grandson.

No no no no noooo noooo no oh ohh ohh ohhhh YES!
They knew they were fucking with us with that title and they did it anyway
I really fucking wish that news articles would stop wording shit like this. Reading the title I initially thought he died.
it makes me wish i instead spoke one of those pama-nyungan languages where dead people have different grammar rules
So he is technically elligible for a second term…
He was the best president we have had since I was alive. He has integrity. He sold his family farm to avoid conflict of interest when running for office. He built houses for decades after leaving office for the needy.
I didn’t know he quit politics for the needy.
That was just a bad ordering of words in that sentence. He failed to get re-elected and then a few years later he and his wife started building houses for the needy.
I did mangle that bit. Its how it was ordered in my head and well english has no real reliable structure anyway.
“After leaving office he spent decades building houses for the needy.”
Totally reliable. You didn’t have to make an excuse for a poorly executed rush job after admitting the mangle.
Fucking hell i thougjt this was different news
Whoever wrote that headline knew precisely what they were doing and went ahead with it anyway because they are an asshole.
100 year old president: Jimmy Carter
There I fixed it, exact same news, no fuck yous.
I hope he gets the opportunity to stand at trump’s grave.
He should get to be first in line to piss on it
But he wouldn’t because he has class, honor, integrity, and a sense of decorum. All things of which Trump is devoid.
That’s exactly why it would be great for him to do. Just a family friendly activity that everybody can get behind.
I really wish they would stop dressing him up and dragging him out to events. Let the man rest.
That’s an old pic. He’s been in hospice for the past 19 months & is just watching a broadcast of the celebrations. But yeah, he deserves the peace
He was the last president who addressed Americans like adults without the need for rhetoric.
Wild ride to the last two words of the title. It could have gone either way.
Congrats to Jimmy! I wonder if he lived stress free, if so, how?
Happy birthday!
Every single time I’m scrolling and Carter’s face pops up at the bottom of my screen I think “Oh, he’s reached the end of his long, full life,” and them nope he’s fine and older than most people will ever get. Go Jimmy!
This belongs in c/maybemaybemaybe
Jimmy Carter, Destroyer of Dead Pools everywhere.
I gasped before reading the title till the end
Any and every headline that begins with “Jimmy Carter, former US President” makes my stomach drop a bit. For like a decade now.
A rollercoaster of emotions within the span of a sentence.
You had me in the first half dot jpg
Seriously, with all the other bad celebrity news lately, I expected the worst.
Yup, my heart skipped a little beat before I got to the end.
I had read the headline before this post and still gasped.
