Think there’s a good chance that expedited his death I’m afraid

That might make it more interesting, though!

They get the people with the most experience and knowledge in the area and it's likely that those people will be older, pre-written obits are for the big names and when those people, like Jimmy Carter, live an extraordinarily long life, it shouldn't be too surprising if the obit writer goes before the subject. In Nolan's case it seems a bit weird to have an obituary on ice for at least 6 years, but the guardian seems to have a massive backlog of pre-written obits, covering anyone who has even been within an inch of fame.

Seemingly the Guardian have been expecting her death for a while too, as the author of her obituary died in 2019.

I'm sure you will. I just don't like your choice of politicians. From either side. Your whole governing system is a corrupt cabal of vested interests where money is exchanged for policy. But you don't care what I think. But that's what I think. And by not caring, you can easily disregard and disagree, which you are free to do. Doesn't stop your leader elect from being a convicted felon. At this point, that much is true. And where the leader is a criminal, why should the people obey the law? The example sits atop you all.

Funnily enough, Norman Lear did not vote for Carter in 1980. He actively campaigned for John Anderson, a liberal Republican-turned-independent candidate.

I think he's going to last till 2024

In my book that’s the very opposite of sad. Sharp and sprightly well into one’s nineties, what more do you want?

Whatever they did, I'd say it was a smashing success. The grandson said they were only expecting him to survive for a few days when he first entered into hospice care early in the year. He ended up making it past Thanksgiving.

This kinda reminds me of Anne Buydens and Kirk Douglas. She looked terrible and was in a wheelchair at his funeral, but she outlived Kirk for a year. So maybe Jimmy will make it to 100 years old.

I got a screenshot from the memorial livestream. He's as pale as a ghost.

Here he is

I’m watching live now. Waiting for him to show up Edit: There’s ambulances outside the church. I might be looking into this too much, but could something be happening?

Told you, pretty sure he will reach 2024…

Is expected to attend Rosalynn’s funeral

Carter personal doctor interview. The "interesting stuff" in it copypasted: . he’s now focused on President Jimmy Carter’s health. . “I’m sure he’ll try to work through this, but it’s such a big loss for him,” he said. . Raines said he fears Jimmy may not have the same drive to keep fighting during his time in hospice care. + (mentions the "dying of broken heart" possibility) On Rosalynn: . Raines was the one who made the call for Jimmy Carter to go into hospice care in February. On Friday, he made the same call for Rosalynn Carter but was not expecting her to pass away so soon even though she was diagnosed with dementia six months ago.

Pays tribute to Rosalynn

And now she has left him again: Rosalynn Carter, former first lady and tireless humanitarian who advocated for mental health issues, dies at 96

Maybe Carter wants to break a record of surpassing Gerald Ford of latest in the year.

We'll be just fine brother. A majority of us are happy to get rid of the Cacklin' Coconut and the Weekend at Biden's corpse/muppet. Total morons. We don't care what you people across the pond think. Could care less and take care of your own houses because they could burn down at any minute with your insane immigration policies. Basically...fuck off...
