    One more thing, during his interview with the NY Times, he implied the Clintons use their Foundation as a slush fund. Now, that’s huge also. Someone better get some protection around Carter and family quickly.

    When I compared the Clinton Foundation with the Carter Center, Carter noted: “Rosie and I put money in the Carter Center. We never take any out.”

    Trump position? I don't see that phrase in my post, so I'm not sure what you're referencing.

    If that was Carter's plan then the media just blew it, so funny.

    While I found the Carter Presidency about as useful as jock itch cream for the Rockettes... His weighing in on the topics with the Times, seems lucid, even realistic for a change. Evidently, turning a new leaf can happen on the left....

    The Carters voted for Sanders in the primary. Good for them for choosing a candidate they believed in. I wouldn't vote for Sanders but a lot of people did and believed he was the right candidate. I wonder who they voted for in the General?

    It is nothing more than a Family Slush Fund. Just ask Haiti.

    Very insightful post. The shame is old school progressives are being replaced by the obama/maxine waters crowd.

    He's right of course, it's obvious even he sees it. The current Left and their inability to accept the election is dangerous to the nation:

    Why your alarmism over Trump is dangerous for democracy.

    Even when we can’t quite summon the energy, we’re expected to be outraged. Our outrage is then presented as a badge of honor, evidence of virtue at a time of historic challenge to the Republic. But the nature of the outrage – overwrought before even Trump took office – has taken a new turn.

    We are confronted daily not simply with outrage, but a kind of end-of-worldism: America is on the brink of dictatorship; Trump is going start World War III; the president’s access to the nuclear codes might actually destroy the universe; if he manages to control his impulses, then his withdrawal from the Paris climate change accords will still destroy the universe, just a bit more slowly. . . .

    The argument amounts to something more simple and sinister: that presidents who express ideologies that we find outside the bounds of acceptability can be removed, despite being democratically elected by voters. Posner is also quite explicit that he is talking about political, not mental, incompetence. The entirely subjective criteria, which could easily be applied to any president going forward, include: “[His] values fall outside the mainstream… he lacks the interest or attention span to inform himself about issues; or he lacks management abilities and is unable to govern effectively.” Tennessee Congressman Steve Cohen makes a similarly ideological argument for impeachment that bears no relation to anything the constitution says: “If the president can’t recognize the difference between these domestic terrorists and the people who oppose their anti-American attitudes, then he cannot defend us.”

    Ironically, the arguments made by the likes of Posner and Cohen represent a greater long-term threat to American democracy than anything Trump has done so far.

    Today's typical Dem Party politician is very simply a revolting slug . . . with one possible exception. Even I have to admit that our current Dem Party mayor of Houston, Texas is doing okay so far as running our city is concerned. Of course he is the first Dem Party mayor of Houston who's (apparently) been worth a damn for a very long time. So he is perhaps the exception that proves the rule.
