2. Dear god,

Please keep Jimmy Carter safe today. If you must take someone, there’s this other guy…and there’s a few Supremes that we could spare.

4. I love President Carter, and agree wholeheartedly

there are plenty of others whose absence would not be missed by me at all.

7. tfg should not go on the 4th

of July as he does not merit it. TFG should go on the most ordinary day possible! Or on Oct. 31.

8. June 5 is National Ketchup Day. That might work.

3. It is absolutely amazing Adams and Jefferson died on the same day, on July 4th.

50 years after July 4th 1776.

6. +1

Coincidence enough they were both close; I believe they hung on to see the 50th anniversary. Jefferson asked his carers "is it the fourth?" as though he had to hang on for it.

9. I Agree

It's the weirdest damn thing ever.

10. Ironically......

One of Adams' last phrases he uttered before passing was "Jefferson still survives."

In reality, Jefferson had passed a few hours earlier.

5. Monroe is considered to be the last Founding Father president.
