Here's the wording:

I, GERALD R. FORD, President of the United States, pursuant to the pardon power conferred upon me by Article II, Section 2, of the Constitution, have granted and by these presents do grant a full, free, and absolute pardon unto Richard Nixon for all offenses against the United States which he, Richard Nixon, has committed or may have committed or taken part in during the period from January 20, 1969 through August 9,1974.

‘I’m in tears’: Americans grateful after watching Biden deliver more presidential speech than Trump​



Screen-Shot-2020-11-25-at-4.21.10-PM.png


President-elect Joe Biden addressed the nation about the Thanksgiving holiday, encouraging Americans to keep wearing their masks and stay away from people outside of your bubble because there is a light at the end of the COVID-19 tunnel of terror.

There are reports of vaccines possibly being available to healthcare and nursing home workers by the end of the year, which could help with over-crowding in hospitals.

Biden spoke about his family’s large Thanksgivings and how hard it will be for him this holiday season without the crowd of Bidens. But he, like many Americans, are doing the right thing, he said, not just for his family but for every other family in the community.

You can see the comments below from people overwhelmed with gratitude that Biden is already bringing empathy back to the Office of the President:

LOL 200 million people are going to have the money to switch to electric (which are much more expensive that petrol cars) given the state the economy is in. You leftist will defend any crazy thing if your leaders deem it so.

You are like a flipping dinosaur. Seriously are you stuck in the 50's or something? Electric cars sales are rising exponentially and not too long from now you won't even be able to buy a non-electric car because nobody will even be making them anymore.



How will they ever be able to build high-speed rail to the point at which air travel is no longer necessary? It's fantasy land stuff. The usual socialist utopia they try to sell that is never achieved and only creates economic chaos.


The green house gasses produced by all stages of manufacturing the parts needed for so called "clean generation" like solar and wind turbines, can end up causing more pollution than if you just generated the power with the latest generation of clean coal power plants. Those parts also need to be replaced more frequently than you realize, and the waste produced by them cannot be recycled, which is a whole separate environmental issue.

Your entire post is a total crock of horseshit but I'll just focus on the part above.

Firstly it takes about 6 months for a solar panel to offset it's carbon footprint (same as a wind turbine) and they generate power for more than 30 years and are mainly composed of aluminium, glass and silicone. That means that a single panel offsets enough carbon to manufacture another 59 panels. Also, there are no "clean coal power plants".

Countries like Norway are close to 100% renewable energy and 90% of cars on the road are either electric or hybrid.

Electric vehicles are already displacing 1 million barrels of oil a day and that figure is expected to reach 17 million barrels in the next 20 years.

A combustion engine car has a set emission rate that only gets worse throughout it's lifespan. When using electric vehicles, not only are emissions massively reduced (even when using electricity from coal plants) but as we transition to solar/wind/wave/hydro dam power plants the emissions of electric vehicles will be reduced even further.

Your retarded theory about how burning fossil fuels is somehow better for the planet than renewable energy is probably one the most senseless and idiotic things I've read in my entire life.

You're not even beginning to consider what is actually required. Good start with the solar panels... Now add all the batteries to store that energy for hours that nothing is captured and to smooth out load demands, and all the inverters needed to convert the DC to AC and charge the batteries. Manufacturing batteries and inverters has a much larger carbon footprint than the solar panels themselves, and their lifespan is also much shorter, so they need to be replaced much more often.
Also, there are no "clean coal power plants".
Modern day coal plants are far cleaner and only emit a fraction of the carbon that legacy designs did. Burning coal is obviously not going to work forever, but a lot of progress is needed before it will be viable to replace it entirely.

No existing form of power generation is zero carbon emission. And that's before you even consider manufacturing and supply.


I'm not interested in debating you, or any other liberal in this echo chamber. There would be no point, as I have no interest in hearing what your media has told you, and you are not interested in learning the truth. You only want to try to discredit anything that threatens your ideology, regardless of whether your beliefs are even remotely realistic.

Don't let me get in the way of your delusions. Just please don't involve me in them.

Former federal prosecutor says judge could void Trump’s pardon for Flynn — here’s how​


michael-flynn-afp.jpg


Former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner responded to President Donald Trump’s pardon of retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn by saying that it’s entirely possible that the judge in Flynn’s case could nullify the pardon.

“Just as Judge Emmet Sullivan refused to grant Barr’s corrupt motion to dismiss, I hope Judge [Emmet] Sullivan sets a hearing on whether this pardon is corrupt & hence illegal/void,” said Kirschner.


Civil Rights attorney Andrew Laufer agreed, saying that he too wants to see how Judge Sullivan deals with the development.

“Flynn’s pardon now needs to be entered in the Court docket. Let’s see what Judge Sullivan does next,” Laufer tweeted. “Remember, the Court isn’t a rubber stamp. It had to approve Flynn’s plea withdrawal and Barr’s attempt at dismissing the prosecution.”

Inverters do not need to be replaced often, or even rarely, they last for decades and if they do fail they can be easily repaired. Batteries can be recycled (they are made of lead) and lithium batteries last for decades as well as being recyclable.

No existing form of power generation is zero carbon emission. And that's before you even consider manufacturing and supply.

So you're claiming that a solar panel or a wind turbine emits carbon dioxide? o_O

Yeah you're not interested in debating me cause you have no fukcing clue what you're talking about.

There would be no point, as I have no interest in hearing what your media has told you, and you are not interested in learning the truth. You only want to try to discredit anything that threatens your ideology, regardless of whether your beliefs are even remotely realistic.
