Since Ronny and Poppy are already (thankfully) long ded, that leaves Bill as the new "oldest" prez at 78
(The actual oldest is Biden who's 82 and will be nearly 30 years older than Clinton was when the latter left office)

Biden is older than Clinton 
And ol Billy Boy had a scare this week too. He'll probably live to see 100 sadly.
Of course he waits until a day after I finish making my 2025 prediction bingo card. Prick.
Dang I was hoping for Carter/Biden 2028.
doesn't say you have to be alive to run in the constitution
do the dead stop being citizens?

did they get his semen in time?
The hospice killed him because he was costing too much.
The opposite is actually true.
He just died? Wow. I didn't know that. He led an amazing life, whether you agree with it or not.
So what shitty things did he do? All I know about him is the habitat for humanity shit and the peanut farming.
first one that comes to mind is Operation Cyclone - he armed the reactionary mujahideen in afghanistan to impede the USSR's support of the nascent Democratic Republic of Afghanistan 
Blowback season 4 mindset right here
He armed Indonesia during their genocide against East Timor.
Unfortunately, despite its professions of support for human rights in Indonesia, the Carter Administration picked up where Kissinger and Ford had left off. As Noam Chomsky writes in the preface to Matthew Jardine's 1995 book, East Timor: Genocide in Paradise, "In 1977, Indonesia found itself short of weapons, an indication of the scale of its attack. The Carter administration accelerated the arms flow."[7] U.S. arms sales hit $112 million in 1978, and averaged nearly $60 million per year for the four years of the Carter administration -- this was more than twice the level of weaponry supplied to the Suharto regime by the Ford Administration.

Reagan and the wave of conservative world leaders in the 80s made it the new status quo, but Jimmy Carter is often credited as the first neoliberal president and the starting point of neoliberalism in the US.
Here’s a short write-up: https://afflictthecomfortable.org/2020/11/19/jimmy-carter-is-a-saint-now-was-a-war-criminal-then/
Thanks, fuck him, pretty ghoulish.
Comes with the job
Fudge the iran hostage crisis, operation cyclone, partake in east timor genocide.
He walked so reagan can run
How did he f-up the Iranian hostage crisis again?
iirc, he tried to rescue them by sending in special forces, only for them to crash a helicopter into a C-130 after landing Iran, and then they had to abort
only for them to crash a helicopter into a C-130
Tf did they use for a helicopter? 
Sounds like the predecessor of an osprey...
It was actually this mission that led the army to want an aircraft with the endurance of an airplane and the vtol capabilities of a helicopter, which in turn started development of the osprey
They didn’t read the true anon rules smh
They flew 2 helicopters across the whole country wish casting that it wouldn’t get shot down.
He also didn’t manage to offer a good deal to the Iranians, instead Reagan managed to make a secret deal that makes Reagan look like the one who actually solve the crisis once he got into office
The father of neoliberalism in the US lol. Many people think it’s Reagan, but Carter laid the groundwork for everything that happened afterwards.

I never get tired of reminding people that Biden's so old he was literally born when the battle of Stalingrad was raging.
gunned down in the FUCKIN streets. just a fuckin kid, whole life ahead of him
How many crabs do we need for this one?
Liberals, man. Liberals...
Jimmy Carter exiting with grace at the last chance to have a state funeral with dignity.

Edit
I muted "Carter" at Bluesky but there's a sea of this shit.
Upon a former President's death, the flag should be flown at half-mast for 30 days. I'm going to bet even-money that Trump refuses to honor this after his inauguration.
great now i have to see libs mourning
Year of 4 dead presidents take my energy
More like Jimmy Sharter
You couldn't build as many homes as you destroyed.
damn the good die so young 
APAB
I'll always remember The Simpsons calling him history's greatest monster and the Judge Dredd story The Cursed Earth where his head is on Mt. Rushmore.
Lmao I found out on hacker news (I need to log off). L + bozo.
Ghoul, but he seemed to basically have gotten the memo he was going to hell.
