Well done, Jack. Jimmy will be regarded by history as one of the greats, in no small part because of what he did after he left the WH. But in his WH years he was an honorable, decent man— far, far better than what we’re going to have in that job for the next four years. The moron will surely go down as a vile barbarian and one of the worst presidents— if not THE worst— in our history.
Being a Texas native (and thankfully no longer living there) it didn't surprise me one bit about Barnes and Connelly. Both had stains on their records (Barnes much more) and would have made "great" picks in a Trump administration. Carter, on the other hand, has been a shining example of how a president/ex-president should conduct themselves.
The profound dumbing down of America in the past 25 years, no thanks to technology itself, makes that scummy long ago event seem “normal” if not prescient.
Are we as nation now past redemption as a bearer of hope and freedom in this era?
For a humorous but tragic description of the dumbing down, I enjoyed “Profiles in Ignorance” by Andy Borowitz. The New Yorker was crazy to let him go. Thank goodness we have the Jack Ohmans and Andy Borowitzes around to keep us sane and amused amidst the stupidity and corruption.

Thanks for revisiting so much of the country’s history. Your bank of knowledge is impressive and refreshing.

AKA on a doom spiral? Gawd I can only hope not…

The truth will out
Again and again
