4:30 am and there is still a line of people paying their respect

[bottomofthehill]

People have waited on line in the bitter cold in DC to pay their respect to President Carter. It's about 20 degrees with a wind chill of 11 and still people came.

1. Please tell me then how your country voted for him?

3. Because that's US politics. Not enough people vote etc.

Kamala Harris was very popular, but she didn't win.

9. Hey, that's a question we ask ourselves every day.

WHY? What for? What ON EARTH is the appeal of trump? Especially compared to President Carter - whose opening line was “I will never lie to you”.

Somebody has to explain it to me, cuz I just DO NOT get it. I don’t trust him as far as I could throw Mar-a-Lago. No way in hell I could EVER be talked into voting for him. He’s as far opposite President Carter as it’s possible to imagine.

2. That speaks volumes about President Carter.

4. Carter and Biden

Both will go down in History for what they accomplished. Money has destroyed our Politics, along with sensational, money driven media.

5. I feel like making a slight correction to that last sentence.

"Money (and the insatiable greedy desire it creates)has destroyed everything, along with sensational, money driven media."

No need to nitpick. It has destroyed this country even as the few who horde almost all of it try desperately to convince us otherwise.

7. Can not argue with another Old Lady

Like me who has lived through it Al, back to FDR, who I listened to on our fancy Crosley Radio. Fanciest piece of furniture in our house. My Dad got money when Grandpa sold the farm they owned. Bought our house and furniture. Farming community. No one went hungry.🥴

6. How poignant.

Truly moving. I hope Jimmy Carter knew how respected, admired and loved he was by so many Americans.
