... and make room for me. I knew it was about Jimmy Carter.

He was the first president I voted for. Unfortunately it was 1980.

One real and one imagined.

I know many christians who hate hate hate Jimmy Carter. My in-laws are two of them. Both members of their church's choir and one has been a board member for years.

Bibles in every room too. Kind of awkward to go there.

with bare walls that leak water from a hazardous waste site, rats as big as pit bulls, one 20 watt lightbulb hanging from a bare electrical cord, no windows, and a grate in the ceiling where people can piss, spit and shit all over him.

If you're going to dream, dream BIG!

Just for clarity, Builds homes for those that need assistance, but with respect to the program there are requirements. You’ll need to be able to support the mortgage payment and a down payment.

to a level people can afford shelter on.

TFG's solution would scoop most of the marginal workers out of a city and that city would grind to s juddering halt.

Plus, people in the country wouldn't like having their land grabbed to make room for his concentration camps.

The Catholic Church in Kansas is spending over 1 million dollars to amend the state constitution to ban abortion. Creating more potential homeless people and hungry children. This is what Catholics are doing while maintaining its tax exempt status.

If a 13 year old rape victim in Kansas (and elsewhere) is forced to give birth against the advice of medical professionals and she and her baby dies, the Catholic Church should be charged with murder. Ya know, citizens United.

I’ve watched months of garbage commercials from conservatives to verify my belief that they do not value life or the truth.

It was in 1979 that Adams gave the order....other safety features were added to cars. But seat belts & shoulder harnesses
were the main ingredient. Of what you ask?

1979 ........... Deaths on highway ....55,000

2021............Deaths on highway.....35,000.... even though there are 50,000,000 more cars on the road.........

and...........do you hear Jimmie Carter bragging about that?????


.......................................No, I think not.........too busy with other projects.


YES, A TRUE AMERICAN HERO IN EVERY SENSE OF THE WORD...!!!!!!!!!!! ....(credit to Rhiannon12866)
.......................an order 4 years ahead of time, saved tens of thousands of lives over time)

I grew up in the 70s, and sure, we survived, but not all of us. People died more often from easily preventable things like being ejected from a car in a minor crash.

And on car safety, boy did the Republicans make a stink. First they opposed seatbelts being mandated, "buh muh freedom!" Then they pitched a total fit when they started passing laws to mandate seatbelt use, "Buh muh freedom."

I tell you, they went totally nuts her in MI when they banned smoking indoors at bars and restaurants. "Buh muh freedom." They claimed that one would cause bars and restaurants to close.

But here we are, liberal ideas like seatbelts and smoke free public places didn't hurt freedom and save millions of lives.

They should address it in political campaigns and provide some plans for reforms.

There are plenty of vacant housing in places that lost population.
