Who thought it was a good idea to wheel Jimmy Carter out like this?

Well, you are not jimmy.

It is grotesque and disrepectful.

I hate the cracker.

How many times do you have to post this over and over

So young.

Still thinks clearer than Trump

R3 Well, Amy, Ella Emhoff is about to claim the title of "Ugliest First Daughter" from you, so I guess I'd be sassy, too, if I were in your position.

It’s incredibly disrespectful. Where’s his family?

No offense to the former President, but when Jimmy does go, we now know what that will look like.

His look is good, but the clothes are all wrong.

I found it sad and disturbing.

It’s like there’s no one there advocating for him. How did the guy even vote? A witness voted on his behalf?

From your lips to gods ears

Horrifying.

My father looked the same - right after he died.

Stunning and brave!

Bitch stole my act.

There are those famous teeth!

I hope he managed to blow out all of the candles, got his birthday whacks and a pinch for every inch!

Let him rest in peace. They decided to wheel out this mummy.

Although Biden is not in much better shape mentally. In fact I bet Jimmy Carter has more of his marbles at this point than Biden.

If my family did this to me, I'd make sure to haunt them from the other side no later than the next business day.

100 YEAR OLD MAN LOOKS OLD AS FUCK, FILM AT 11.

You need not worry about being 100 years old, infirm and reliable on full-time care. For several reasons, none good.

That shouldn’t have been done. Who thought that was a good idea? He should be given privacy and peace.

Jimmy crack corn!

They should have at least had the decency to reheat him beforehand.

So uh, he’s supposed to vote, huh. Yeahhhhh.

Article touching on his health as of June this year. He spents most of his time asleep.

The figure of Lenin looked better and lasted longer.

I’ve always said I’d love to live to 100 and then I see this.

He looked 100 when he was 80!!!!

Geez. Almost a level of elder abuse. Nobody wants to be seen like that.

Weekend at Jimmy’s!

It's very intrusive and disrespectful. No photos should have been allowed out of respect for his privacy.

Might I remind everybody that President Carter has been in hospice care for over two years now? The vast majority of people entering hospice care die with weeks to months.

Jimmy looks like he just spotted a human!

Someone should tie a scarf under his jaw over the top of his head to keep his mouth closed. Maybe put some pennies on his eyelids too.

he was actually singing an old negro spiritual.

Count me in the camp that thinks it is distasteful. Aging and death are a fact of life, and I get that. The photo reminds me of when my father was actively dying and in death. He was a very proud man and never would have wanted anyone but his loved ones seeing him in that state.

It's distasteful to me. But I wonder if old Jimmy is senile or not. Isn't it possible he is not senile, and he still says what he wants and does not want to do? I mean, the days that he is awake. It's terrifying of course. The old patriarch, a US president, sleeping in his wing of the house, but not dying. And still with his wits about him, but little control of his body.

[quote]Maybe put some pennies on his eyelids too.

That's after he dies R36.

[quote] Let him rest in peace

He’s in hospice. That means they are not taking steps to prolong his life. If he wanted to die, he probably would have.

I don't understand. We are all heading in that direction. The difference is most of us will not be able to afford to have someone trustworthy to care for us when we are infirm and vulnerable.

R17 Trump being wheeled into Hair & Makeup

He's in South Ga. What will they do if a bug flies into his mouth. And trust me, the hurricane has blown in flying insects like we've never seen before.

They don't do anything with him unless he wants it. And he wanted it, being conscious and alert enough to make his intentions known.

It is not disrespectful, in this case. It would be disrespectful for anyone to suggest to him that he doesn't look good or well enough to be in public. That is his choice.

People here are ageist and prissy.

If he wasn’t awake every day in June, it seems unlikely he’d be proactively expressing the desire to be wheeled out for his birthday now.

Do they feed you with a tube or intravenously in hospice?

How is he still alive?

That is so disrespectful. The poor man would never want to be seen like that. The news media has some questions to answer over this.

I did a cursory google search and couldn’t find any news with this photo or similar. Maybe they wheel him out on the regular to get some sun? Plains, GA has less than 600 people. Half of them probably know him. Maybe this was meant to be something local. Getting him get outside and acknowledging his bday with people who know and care for him is different than a photo op for a national audience.

Looks like you could face fuck him without even waking him up.

People at that age fall asleep all the time, sometimes mid-sentence, and their entire face goes slack. He may have wanted to get some sun, greet a few neighbours, and fell asleep during the photo moment.

However… They could have woken him up? Or not take any pictures until he’s a awake for another few minutes?

Well time was limited. He was wheeled out for a fly over in his honor. I can only imagine the grotesque things Dr. Jill will be wheeling Joe out to.

I can’t look at that picture, OP. It’s very painful for me.

It makes me think of how frail my mom became at the end of her life, and she was 88 when she died.

"May you live long" isn't always a blessing, is it. Poor Jimmy.

I always wonder about people that hang on this long. And considering he's in hospice, he IS indeed "hanging on."

What are these people doing? What are they afraid of?

I just hope he is able to fulfill his wish to vote for Kamalla.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD WOULD SOMEONE PLEASE SHIT IN MY MOUTH????!!!!!

[quote]Maybe they wheel him out on the regular to get some sun?

Well, that's what the damn back yard is for. But you don't put him out front. He could have caused an accident.

R54 to answer your last question:

Death.

[quote]He’s in hospice. That means they are not taking steps to prolong his life. If he wanted to die, he probably would have.

He’s holding out to see Kamala win. He’ll probably die shortly after the election.

Nancy was protective of her husband’s image and would never allow such an image to be published. I know Rosalynn is dead, but someone in the Carter family should have that level of concern.

[quote]My father looked the same - right after he died.

I was thinking that too - that looked like my mom after she did. I guess I don't know if I'd describe it as disrespectful, but I think I'd like to be remember as the way I was (not much of a looker, but at least upright and mostly coherent) not whatever sad end faces us.

[quote] Ella Emhoff is about to claim the title of "Ugliest First Daughter" from you,

Oh, come on, neither are ugly. Amy was a regular kid.

Don’t they keep people in hospice in doors?

This is the Queen Mother at 100.... you roll 'em out for the cameras if they are upright and compos mentis. Poor Jimmy Carter ooks desiccated and half dead. What is the family thinking? It's a horrible display.

[quote]Amy was a regular kid.

She was. Her mom and dad let her her colour in her colouring book at the table during one of the State Dinners.

Reporter: Do you have a message for the children of America?

Amy Carter: No.

😁👍👍

Oh, R55, please stop with this poppycock that he’s holding on to vote for Kamala.

The DL prisspot brigade has spoken. Cut him som slack, he's 100 FFS!

But he is R66. He is.

Can I help?

[quote] Jimmy carter celebrating his 100th.

I would take the word “celebrating “ with a grain of salt.

r70, you do you, but I'm celebrating with a slice of birthday cake.

You have to hand it to the Queen. At the time of her death, she was only four years younger than Jimmy is now, yet she looked like Miss Teen Great Britain by comparison.

Going from 96 to 100 is still a big jump. Most who make it to 96 don't make it to 100.
