I had that teachable moment when I was a kid.
Unseen pothole, and branded nose.
He also went into Three Mile Island when it had it's partial meltdown, when he was the sitting president.I never heard about this and holy shit.
And he's still kicking today, building people homes. Wow.
The national and international media had given the accident at Three Mile Island front page attention for days and venerable network newsman Walter Cronkite was speaking of a "horror" that "could get much worse." Carter believed that the people of Pennsylvania and the nation were looking to him for leadership, so on April 1, Carter inspected the damaged plant. Middletown, Pennsylvania, Mayor Robert Reid later spoke of Carter's visit as providing a much-needed morale boost. "People weren't talking to one another. They were cooped up in their homes, and when he came, it seemed like everyone came out to see the president and it was really a shot in the arm," Reid recounted to writer Mark Stephens.
This is the person Republicans love to denigrate and mock. Think their guy would have stepped up in any way to help anyone other them himself?He also went into Three Mile Island when it had it's partial meltdown, when he was the sitting president.

Shows you what kind of man Jimmy really is despite characterizations from the right.OK, first I'm surprised to learn there was a reactor meltdown (or near-meltdown) as early as 1952, i.e. before 3-mile-island, and that it was in Canada. Secondly I'm double-surprised to learn that people had to take turns exposing themselves to dangerous levels of radiation to prevent disaster (prefiguring Chernobyl or that Russian submarine accident), and thirdly I'm triple-surprised to learn that Jimmy Carter was one of those people.

That would explain the orangeI can imagine Trump being used in place of a dampening rod, to prevent a runaway reaction and avert a meltdown. Not voluntarily, admittedly, but I enjoy imagining it.
