President #JimmyCarter pronounced the word nuclear correct several times in this PBS video after the 2:00 minute mark though I think the whole recording wit worth listening to. I'll dredge up some more recordings if needed but I am confident that in his four years in office, while I was a young adult, I never heard him pronounce it incorrectly throughout that part of the cold war as well as the #ThreeMileIsland situation.

More #FactChecking by the hosts of MSNBC.

I *highly* recommend listening to the end where Joy Reid goes through her observations (including T****'s slight of #JimmyCarter supposedly giving away the #PanamaCanal... which never belonged to us. Not mentioned, T**** a few minutes later signing a bill to raise all flags to full staff.)

#Trump is signing documents before the formal lunch at the Capitol, including one that said US flags should be flown at full staff on his & future inauguration days even if it otherwise interrupts a mourning period where the flag would be half staff; the flags were all at half staff mourning the passing of President #JimmyCarter. The prospect that flags would be at half staff as a sign of respect for the former President Carter pissed Trump off.

The trump traitors may pretend our nation is not in mourning for President Carter by disrespecting him & raising the flag which should remain at half staff, but the truth remains that even after the mourning period is done for Pres Carter, the U S. & the world will continue to mourn as a convicted FELON, sexual predator, con artist, racist crook & his gqp crime syndicate TAINT our White House again. I'm glad MLK Day will overshadow his pathetic party. #MartinLutherKingJr #JimmyCarter

Good piece by Liberation News (author Eugene Puryear) on #JimmyCarter #Carter. It provides numerous examples of how, during his presidency, he sided with capital over labour, while also giving modest credit to his post-presidential career as a politician that wouldn't completely bend the knee to capital either.

>As president, Carter sought to contain the growing contradictions of capitalism in favor of the system, but with a recognition that the critics weren’t all wrong. In his post-presidency, freed from “managing the common affairs” of the ruling class, Carter could speak out more forcefully also in an attempt to manage contradictions bedeviling the system and boosting its opponents. During his presidency, this meant leaning more in the direction of the powerful than the people, post-presidency, it meant leaning more towards the concerns and frustrations of the people.

>Carter ended his life as a towering figure for exactly this reason: he took responsibility for the system whose leadership he was a part of, hoping to manage its health and promote its longevity.

Liberation News · Jimmy Carter passes away: Imperialism loses respected spokesmanCarter’s legacy is perhaps best defined by his inability, as either President, or post-Presidency, to arrest the rightward political drift of the US Empire. This was the case whether that was full complicity as Commander-in-Chief or as a highly-placed critic later in life. #history #usgovernment

President #Biden noted his historic #Hostage release deal between #Israel & #Palestine "began on May 31st."

This is important to remember as T**** & the #GOP have been desperate to turn Biden into #JimmyCarter ("failed economy" & "hostage crisis", and even T****'s 2nd inauguration having to take place indoors) when the fact is Biden's Admin has been wildly successful and #TheOrangeMenace is the ANTITHESIS of #Reagan (the "Sunny Optimist" who fought/criticized #Russia.)
