“Why, you yellow-belly!” 
Unless he dies in the next three months.
This was the “nicer” picture of him that was shown, but it’s actually a picture of him in November 2023, age 99, when he attended his wife Rosalynn’s memorial service.
Rosalynn Carter was 96 when she passed way in November 2023.
And these were some of the less nicer pictures of him last month at early voting in Georgia when he cast his vote for Kamala Harris.
Oh shit, already looks like a corpse.
He looks like an extremely elderly man that lives in a hospice/nursing home. Of course its not pretty. Sad yes, pretty no.
Agreed.
@EinsteinsHund, sometimes stating the obvious is not necessary.
Not to mention, it’s a still photo. Signs of life usually require some kind of visible motion.
It’s easy to get fooled.
Well, I’m really sorry and didn’t want to offend anybody, I was just so shocked that the post slipped out of my fingers.
I do understand. It is shocking if you’ve not encountered it before.
I believe it’s up to Congress (both houses) to authorize that. It’s their building.
Lying in State in the Capitol is the purview of the House and Senate, not the President.
Though I wouldn’t put it past these leaders to be such petty putzes. Or for him to have drafted instructions to keep him no closer to DC than Annapolis, if even that.
Thanks for your understanding. I really never had seen a living person who looked like that.
Yeah. And this was a lousy way to have to encounter it.
Count yourself fortunate; I’ve taken care of people at that stage. It really is gut-wrenching to encounter it for the first time, especially when it’s someone of Carter’s stature.
I have the deepest respect for you and all the other caretakers for terminal ill people in hospices and other places like hospitals or even at home. I know I couldn’t take it for one day.
I couldn’t take it, either, at this point in my life (mid-70s), but during summers in college I worked as a nurse’s aide in a nursing home.
Hospice workers are amazing people giving dignity and kindness to the dying, like my late mom.
This hospice nurse explains why.
Yes you have my deepest respect for providing such care. I saw this in my elderly grandmothers before they passed. I was in my teens and early 20s and provided some care for them so I’ve seen this condition before. It was not shocking to see Jimmy this way.
Jimmy Carter has passed away.
May his memory be eternal.

To be honest, I’m actually glad he passed while Joe Biden is still president, as Biden will ensure his funeral is treated properly (with a state funeral if that’s what Carter and his family wanted). I would not be sure of Trump doing so.
