Sean 6,327 Posted November 19, 2023 46 minutes ago, Insane said: Deal is a deal, @Sean what charity do you want me to give €10 to? (RIP to Rosalynn) Give the money to a mental health charity as it was such an important and dear cause that was very close to Mrs Carters heart. You can decide which one as I am not sure which charities over in the US are high quality as you have to be careful which organisations you send money to. 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DoorSlammer 563 Posted November 19, 2023 After the hospice announcement I already had a hunch she'd go before Jimmy would, but I didn't expect it to be this fast. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bfc 50 Posted November 19, 2023 Who would have thought that Bess Truman’s record would still hold after 41 years. Lady Bird, Betty, Nancy, Barbara and Rosalyn all came close though. Laura’s now the oldest, Hillary the earliest-serving and last First Lady of the 20th century. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wannamaker 1,407 Posted November 19, 2023 Fucks sake, took a nap and now the DL is tied with me. The list will probably surpass 2017 considering how many frail and just old picks are still alive. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Craigerz 60 Posted November 20, 2023 How long do we give Jimmy now guys? Will he make it to Rosalynn's funeral even? I'll be generous & say mid-December. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Actually, not sure his death is imminent. At this point i can see him reach 2024 but it’ll be difficult. I think he’ll be surrounded by all his family and everything more than ever… was trying to figure out the reaction of the family When they learnt that Rosalynn was the first one to go. That is still wild to me 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted November 20, 2023 Jimmy Carter: “As long as Rosalynn was in the world, I always knew somebody loved and supported me.” Meaning no one loves or supports Jimmy. 1 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Two possibilities I see happening. Either he'll die within a couple of days or weeks, or he'll give hospice care the biggest "fuck you" in DL history and somehow live to mid 2024 only to die just short of his 100th birthday. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Craigerz 60 Posted November 20, 2023 It must be awful for Jimmy, he knew Rosalynn since literally the week she was born as his mother was the midwife who delivered her. And then to see out her whole life & be left behind after his wife of nearly 80 years had gone. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
