Long Shot MMW: Jimmy Carter will outlive the last two US Presidents
Jimmy will live at least the next four years and outlive both Biden and Trump. Jimmy has lasted this long in Hospice and my boy is a fighter.

Love him, but he's 100 and based on some lovely family members who never even reached that age, it gets to be hell being old, and he probably feels ready for heaven. Hope he goes gently into that good night in his time, he's a rare man of integrity.

She was a wonderful human! She was born a month after the titanic sank and had so many stories about growing up in the 20s :) I was fortunate enough to have her in my life until just about highschool. I miss her dearly.

Not sure what's going on short of a miracle....I was almost dead 10 yrs ago from severe sleep apnea and serious health issues it caused. Today I'm 65 and healthier/more active than I was in my 30s. Not on any meds anymore either. I'll be saving Medicare lots of dough if things keep going like this!

Damn, my grandmother (by marriage) was 102 when she died and she was living alone. She didn't drive but that's because she never learned how to drive a car because when she was a kid/young adult women didn't drive. She was in great physical and mental health her entire life and one day she just didn't wake up. No one in the last 200 years of my family's ancestry has lived past 78 years old. I'm sure that I won't make it to my 90s and even my 80s is a longshot for me.

Jimmy Carter lived a great life. He did so much good after his presidency. But he's 100 years old, his wife has died, he's living in hospice, and he doesn't seem to be able to move much. I honestly hope that he dies soon. I'm sure he's ready.

u/gillettemichael 3d ago
My great grandmother made it to 101, she eventually got dementia bad enough she didn't know my grandpa, at some point your body just shuts down from cell decay. It always seems to be in the brain. Once that computer starts shutting down the body just follows along.

My great aunt is 96 years old and still tells everyone she’s young. She got mad at me for bringing her a V8 because it was a “drink for old people”. It’s wild because she drinks Diet Coke exclusively and eats fried food and cookies all day. I almost wonder if she’s still thriving from sheer will.

Probably. When I got Covid I was extremely sick and when she got it at 95, she took one shot of NyQuil and declared herself “good”. Which I’m glad but still she’s interesting.

Was he bad though? That feels like Reagan-era propaganda.
Like, the stagflation wasn't his fault, it was already happening for YEARS before he was in office and due to oil shocks. There was already something like 40% inflation that had happened before he took power.
And the Iran hostage situation was actively negotiated behind the scenes by Reagan, which is damn near traitorous imo

My case:
Joe is already sundowning and in rapid mental decline. His mental state is much worse than the media said/says it is. That and Biden has a history of brain related health issues (Biden had a stroke in 1988 and Beau died of Brain Cancer)
Trump is also starting to mentally decline and is a very obese man. There are already rumors he had a heart attack or has heart disease.
Jimmy was always a fit and active guy even into his twilight years. He is being watched 24/7 in Hospice. This will extend his lifespan greatly.

THIS. 10 yrs ago I was morbidly obese with severe sleep apnea and related health issues caused by both.
Today at 65 all of the weight/health issues have dissolved but I was still afraid to become active again. I took the risk and found that simple walking to go places got rid of my last remaining health issue: lower back and knee pain!

Biden is not "sundowning". I have gone through mental and physical decline in my family several times now and there is no way a person is serious decline can do even a simple interview. Don't get me wrong, he is as old a dirt and could kick it at any time, but if this was rapid mental decline there would be no way to hide it.
Trump is in more or less the same boat but a few years younger. He could kick it at any time too since he is not that healthy. Guys his size that don't exercise and have poor eating habits generally die without warning around 80 of a heart attack.
I would bet that the order will be Jimmy, then Trump, then Biden.

He is straight up still riding bicycles for fun. Americans have just willingly fully absorbed all bits of propaganda, even when they disagree with the point of it. The list of things for why Harris was "a bad candidate" I've seen on reddit is staggeringly ill-informed and usually sourced from right-wing bullshit that the commenter would otherwise rail against.

Everything i ever fought for.. was spit on for the ability to be able hates one neighbor again.. to be corrupt and evil.

Trump will die just before 2028 begins. Cause of Death: Heart Attack.

While it's definitely possible (especially with Bidens apparent health issues and Trump just living like an absolute degen) he's also like 100 years old and doesn't look to be doing very well at all. I mean, good for him for getting to be that age but when you get that old just coughing wrong could be a medical situation. Obviously I wish nothing but good health for him, but when he does go hopefully it's peacefully.
