GET THE NEW MONDAY COUNTDOWN PODCAST BECAUSE the greatest president since FDR is dead. My friend – and what a privilege it has been to call him that – President Jimmy Carter would disagree that he is STILL the lead story, the day after. After all, he might note, he WAS 100, he was in hospice a year-and-a-half, his own grandson said he was in his final days – that was last May 15th. How, Keith, is this a surprise to you? The Braves letting Freddie Freeman leave should have been a surprise to you!

He would probably disagree he was the best since FDR, probably arguing that the best since FDR at least got re-elected. I will make my case, and more importantly, my case the fact that he WASN’T re-elected was the beginning of the end. The 1980 election was when I realized America wanted a spokesmodel, not a leader. A fake smile, not principles; often somebody dumber than they were. Even Clinton and Obama and their exceptional presidencies prevailed on charisma. That we turned away a complete human for a mentally diminished bad actor who wasn't that sharp to begin with has set a pattern we may never break before the nation ends.

I will also tell the thoroughly satisfying story of how President Carter became my friend, after which there was very little I could point to professionally and say 'I have left this unaccomplished.'

ALSO: Two legal scholars insist that a week from today Democrats in the house must refuse to certify Trump’s election because the specific legislation to disqualify him for insurrection that the Supreme Court demanded in this year’s 14th Amendment case already exists.

But on the Washington-focused news site “The Hill” they insist no matter what the Supreme Court says, Trump has already been DISQUALIFIED from federal office under the 14th Amendment AND Article Two gives the House sole authority to confirm a presidential election and I will add that while once again I cannot tell you how much this is not going to happen it would be nice to see Democrats do something, something, anything at all, just to peacefully protest.

President Jimmy Carter was such a good man. He was the best example of what it means to have goodwill and kindness, for others.

I've always thought that Jimmy Carter was too honest and too good for the American public who only see things in terms of 'what's in it for me.'

Met him at Wiesbaden USAF hospital when the Iran Hostages were freed. He exudes kindness and wisdom. Godspeed Mr President. 🌿

I love President Carter. When he took office, he immediately changed the requirements to make it easier to apply and get approved for a student loan. I was able to attend college thanks to Jimmy Carter. May his memory be a blessing to the entire world. ❤

He did so much good for the world than any other president. Now we just get presidents who leave office as millionaires and enjoy their mansions. President Carter showed that he really cared for people.

Does anyone else remember how it was a minor scandal when Pres. Carter said in an interview that he had "lusted in his heart"? Now look at the lecher we're about to have again in the WH **shudder**

Congress has the obligation to Vote on Legislation to remove the Disqualification from Trump or he remains disqualified. How is it legal to swear someone into office that is disqualified?
(Congress would also have to pass legislation to keep insurrectionist off the ballot.)
Call or email your Congressional Representatives, use your voice.
