Mike Luckovich for July 13, 2021

Yes, it IS something you have to do more or less continual maintenance on.

Biggest man to ever sit in the Oval Office.

Being President was just one step in public service.

I am extremely proud of this former President and First Lady. They are a “class act”!!!

I can’t picture Trump with a hammer or saw in his hands!!!

Best ex-president ever.

Jimmy Carter is too good for politics.

Carter is the only former prez who actually did something worthwhile after office. Great guy, Great couple.

The house that love built.

When I see a loving, caring couple married 75 years, I have no desire for trump to be mentioned.

Let’s not forget Jimmy Carter’s YEARS of service in the Navy: President James Earl “Jimmy” Carter graduated from the Naval Academy in 1946 with distinction, after which he was assigned to USS Wyoming (E-AG 17) as an ensign. After completing two years of surface ship duty, Carter applied for submarine duty. He served as executive officer, engineering officer, and electronics repair officer on the submarine SSK-1. When Admiral Hyman G. Rickover (then a captain) started his program to create nuclear-powered submarines, Carter wanted to join the program and was interviewed and selected by Rickover. Carter was promoted to lieutenant and from 3 November 1952 to 1 March 1953, he served on temporary duty with the Naval Reactors Branch, U.S. Atomic Energy Commission, Washington, D.C., to assist “in the design and development of nuclear propulsion plants for naval vessels.”

From 1 March to 8 October 1953, Carter was preparing to become the engineering officer for USS Seawolf (SSN-575), one of the first submarines to operate on atomic power. However, when his father died in July 1953 Carter resigned from the Navy and returned to Georgia to manage his family interests. Carter was honorably discharged on 9 October 1953 and transferred to the retired reserve at his request with the rank of lieutenant.

HE didn’t ask his father for a FAKE MEDICAL EXEMPTION FROM MILITARY SERVICE!! unlike a certain Orange LIAR.

And hardly anyone remembers how the Republithugs took his second term away with the “Actor President”.

Carter’s honesty no doubt helped the marriage last this long. I’ve often thought that he has been underrated as president because of that same honesty. We say we want an honest president, but he told us the truth and is generally dismissed despite his many accomplishments.

Now we love Jimmy. Wasn’t always like that.

I’m reading “The Outlier – the Unfinished Presidency of Jimmy Carter” by Kai Bird, just published. I recommend it.

Get hammered, you two!

Love this one.

Both of them, class acts. I have their pictures on my front door in case they stop by…

The only lasting peace treaty in the Middle East; The Camp David Accords, September 17, 1978.

A great husband….a lousy president!

Not a big Jimma fan, but God bless them both.

He does’nt use tools, because he is one.

A marriage built on the ROCK instead of SAND. Has withstood the TESTS and TIME. Congratulations to the CARTERS. “WELL DONE!”

Most people think that there’s no greater achievement in life than being president of the United States. Jimmy knew better. So did this guy:

“Here was buried Thomas Jefferson

Author of the Declaration of American Independence

Of the Statute of Virginia for religious freedom &

Father of the University of Virginia.”

—Jefferson’s epitaph, written by him, mentioning accomplishments he was proudest of, not including being the 3rd president of the United States

My uncle who died last year just short of 100 was still going in to work for Habitat, making cabinet work.

So whenever I think about Jimmy, I also give a thought to Uncle Bob. It seems fitting, given that both were seriously underrated by me at one time.

A life TRULY built together! God bless them…

Nice. Happiness and even longer, healthy lives to both of them.

I admire their marriage of 75 years. I have only been married 45 years but I am not as old as they are…yet.

Mike L. really captures the postures and defining images of his subjects in addition to the excellent art work.

First election I was able to vote in, 1976, at the tender age of 18. Voted for Jimmy, of course!

Best, kindest and bravest President in U.S. History. People forget how he went down inside the Three Mile Island Nuclear Reactor in 1979 to reassure the American public. This was a repeat performance of when in 1952, he was called upon to inspect the damaged Chalk River NRX reactor in Canada. Canadians will never forget Jimmy Cater.God bless Jimmy and Rosalynn.

or being married for more than 10 years

Ever since he left office, Jimmie Carter has devoted himself to helping build inexpensive housing through Habitat Humanity. What has Trump ever done for anyone but himself or his family? Well, perhaps a few unearned pardons . . .

And they did the building and maintenance. He also broke with his Baptist sect because of their record of subjugating women with religion.

Mazel tov and le-ḥayyim tovim u-le-shalom!

Mike, such a lovely tribute to the Carters ♥♥

I LOVE this comic!
