None of them were 96 when their husbands died.

Thomas Jefferson and John Adams both died 50 years to the day of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Adams' last words were "Thomas Jefferson survives", though he was unaware Jefferson had died a few hours before him.

Rebecca Blank, acting US Secretary of Commerce from 2011 to 2013, dead at 67.

Yeah I agree I am English but certainly veer to the right but as you rightly say Carter Is a figure than transcends political allegiances and I regard him very highly for the fact he has been resolute in what he believes over decades whilst being pragmatic in his opinions and ensuring his post presidency has been spent in the service of others rather than courting the press for brand recognition. This is certainly a sad day.Hoping his final hours/days / weeks are as peaceful as they can be.

That's it this time. Long live the king of immortals.

Gonna be sad when history’s greatest monster dies:

Smokey Robinson is 83.

Just heard the news, not that I matter. I have to say, 7 and a half years with liver cancer at his age. He's done fantastically. He survived the horror of Ronald Reagan beating him and now this.

It's not insane, sorry, you want the judges you appoint to be young. And senior judges are not "on the bench". They get replaced by a successor and often handle just enough to keep their offices.

None of the judges he appointed are still in active status though. About two dozen still have senior status, which I assume mostly equals "not dead": https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_federal_judges_appointed_by_Jimmy_Carter And that's not that unusual as he only appointed judges below Supreme Court, i.e. people in mid-career. The later Supreme Court justice Stephen Breyer is among them, as was RBG, who he survived.

It'll do It's nearly Gudgeon

Talking about his longevity, he just surpassed Bob Dole's final age of 98 years and 136 days on 15th February when he reached the age of 98 years and 137 days

Coincidentally, James Callaghan was the longest-lived England Prime Minister and Jimmy Carter is the longest-lived US president

I'm totally fine with that! New pic, old pic,random pic, iconic pic - whatever it's all good!

I've mentioned this previously but in some parts of the world seems like hospice care just isn't a thing. Tu Tongjin has been in hospital for a decade and god knows what condition he's in now as he was on oxygen and wheelchairbound the last time he was seen around seven or eight years ago. Yan Mingfu's suffered from some degenerative disease for more than a decade and was suffering from a liver disease nearly two decades ago. Lots of examples from other Asian/African countries too, Indian politician Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee has been in late stages of COPD for years now.

Quite saddened by this news. A genuinely decent person, which is very rare to say in politics. But certainly a life well lived. Still, the long awaited TJS presidential hit not far off.. and the DI presidential obit.

A huge turn around

Feels weird to say this about a 98-year-old who has lasted longer than anyone expected, but this is very sad news to me. Fuck what you think about his politics or his presidency, he was a good man in an environment that produces plenty of terrible men. I hope his final days are peaceful.

A 42 year post presidency isn't enough for a man who's time outside of the office has been filled with so much goodness.

Only at cockney accents.

Anyone that changes their vote to JC are glory hunting pussies.

It'd be very fitting if Dick expired after tripping over an Ottoman.
