And national treasure, who has rightfully earned his status as the longest living President in United States history.

3. Some Trumpies don't believe the raining or drizzling stopped Trump's cemetery visit

The story fellow veterans launched was that if Trump can't fly by helicopter to the memorial site, forces friendly to Islam will assassinate Trump on the road trip where other dignitaries were also traveling.

I wish they tested that theory.

6. I learned something new about Jimmy the other day

There is a small village in India named after him.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carterpuri

The story goes that long before Jimmy became President his mother who was a nurse worked in India and in this village she became very beloved for her hard work and kindness. She used to tell the locals about life in America and her children. And they would tell her about Indian history and culture and she loved it.

Then when Jimmy became President, on his first State Visit to India with Rosalynn he made a request to stop by the village his mother told him about.

Thus Carterpuri was born!

A side note is after the visit the Carter Administration kept tabs with the local governance of the village and offered to help but the Indian government declined the offer.

Carter doesn't hate the right people. How can anyone trust a person that doesn't hate folks who aren't like them? Answer me that Riddler. I doubt Carter hates anyone, even those Islamers, so what kind of Christian is that?

I wish there was a way to have it be my late friend Rubin "Hurricane" Carter vs Trump in the ring.

Clearly this great president, Carter, plans to wear out in the process of doing good and serves as an example for us all.

Thanks for sharing this, Kingofalldems.
