The Dead Thread 2024

A bit late with this one, but writer Stanley Booth. Wrote maybe the best book ever about the Rolling Stones, called Dance With The Devil, or alternately, The True Adventures of The Rolling Stones. Alternated chapters of their history with the story of being on the road with them on their 1969 tour, which culminated in the disastrous show at Altamonte.

You can see him in clips of the movie Gimme Shelter, dancing along in their hotel room as they play cuts of the album they're working on.

And if anyone is around to actually write it, 50 years from now, a hundred or so years after he took office, historians will be re-thinking the success or failure of his presidency. While he had some very deep failures, the idea that his presidency was a complete failure and he only redeemed himself in his post-presidential life will be re-written. Much like we now look at Truman or Grant differently than we used to.

It takes a lot of ego and chutzpah to run for president and Carter had enough of that, but unlike a lot of people who held the office he was a genuinely decent man. At another time and in different circumstances he may have been remembered as one of the actual great presidents.

I don't think so.

I think it's possible to be a terrific human being, and to be a poor POTUS. Just as I think it's possible to be a flawed human being, but still be a terrific President.

Jimmy Carter, as people go, was a terrific human being, and he should be remembered as such. His impact outside of the 4% of his life he spent as President will be remembered long after his Presidency is forgotten. I don't think his Presidency tarnishes that in the least, just as I don't think his other 96 years on the planet do anything to rehabilitate his Presidency.
 
Yeah that ahole expanded parks, fought for the environment, two name two environmental pieces . At least they ripped his evil solar panels off the White House

the worst part of his presidency? It lead to Regan, if you wanna talk about the worst fucking president

This is ridiculous. No American president short of maybe Lincoln could have played the hand history dealt Carter. He was a fine president considering the challenges, then replaced by the most destructive drooling incompetent this side of Buchanan. (We'll see if Dump can manage to beat it.)

Oh, Dump is going to crush Reagan. He's starting out this term already tied or damm close.
