Nixon had been impeached and the Senate was about to convict him/he resigned prior to Senate acted Was not convicted of any crime.Ford;s pardon insured he would be found guilty of any crime he may have commited while president. Corredt me if wrong.
Trump is recorded as asking if he could pardon not only his children and him self

He hasn’t been charged with a crime. You can’t pardon somebody when they haven’t been charged with a crime.

Because:
Trump can't Pardon Himslef, Here is Why.
According to Article II of the Constitution, a sitting president “shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.” That may sound like we have already answered the question; however, therein lies a small yet important technicality within that phrase that requires some unpacking. The operative word? Grant.ecause of this, we are actually asking the wrong question: It’s not about whether Trump can pardon himself, but whether he can grant himself a pardon. This may sound like the exact same question but bear with us. According to context clues from the text of the Constitution and the word’s meaning at the time it was written, the answer is no. He cannot pardon himself. The president only has the power to grant pardons. For context, the same word appears multiple times in various clauses of the Constitution. Every time the word appears, “grant” is a transmissive term meaning it is from one entity to another, reports The Atlantic. It is not used reflexively as in “to grant oneself” a pardon — it is always used interpersonally.
Comparing a word to its uses in other instances within a historical or legal document is a common technique used by judges and legal scholars to surmise the intended meaning in context. If a court were to base its judgment solely on the context of the word in the Constitution, it would be reasonable to determine that the president cannot, in fact, grant himself a pardon.

What channel # on Midco?

I admit I don’t know what all goes into this efficacy thing you mention. I don’t know what could go wrong with a vaccine - if anything.
what I was trying to say is I look forward to getting the vaccine.
Won't be in the 1st bunch/but hopefully soon. Will take any vaccine they have and will report how it works.

Also note though and this is important... significantly fewer tests.
So ...shockingly.... less cases where found. Who isnt being tested as much for the numbers to be down...
Healthy asymptomatic mass tested individuals between 5 and 40.
when these people dont come out in incentiviced droves, not as many tests happen...ala less "cases". It means nothing in the grandnscheme of the actual population this thing has been and is going to burn through, symptoms or no symptoms.
This isnt hard to see.
I honestly don't see very many people not masked. where or what types of places do see such lax masking?
Its almost as if you sit there rocking back and forth working yourself into a pile of anxiety that you then manifest into projections of doom and gloom that you need to come true for a validation of any remaining importance...
IF you really are an old feller, id say look at the positives and LIVE a LIFE before you dont have the ability to...
IF you're not quite as old as you present... you really ought to know better and at least enough not to let this thing steal the years a real old feller would know and understand the value of.
Old is relative. I live a very active life. Until this cold weather set in I spent a minimum of 3 days a week (6-10 hrs a day} cleaningup an old farmsted enjoying serenity, free from anxiety. I wear a mask, comply with social distantcy and go about the city.
There is no gloom and doom here.
Except for missing our great grandaughters ( they live 2000 miles away but hope to see them betwwen thanksgiving and christmas ) we live an idelic life.

I see a lot of curves on here that are turning the correct way.

10 minutes ago, NDSU grad said:It will be different depending on where you’re at. States/countries that have imposed stronger mitigation efforts will see this drag out. In North Dakota active will plateau in the next 14 days. They’ll decrease pretty slowly and hospitalizations and deaths will lag. By the time a vaccine rolls out on a wide scale we’ll probably have daily cases in the low hundreds.
Next year at this time we’ll probably have a daily caseload in the mid double digits. This is presuming we still have testmania going on. Hospitalizations will be a handful a month with maybe a death or two per month.
Trusting you are correct.
We will need more that 70% willing to take the vacine for that to happen. IMO

Straight over and under bet. Find someone to take the over at $20 or no-bet.
When making that observation I was replying to a parinoid rantfrom another poster that greatly exaturated what was going to happen when President Biden took office ,which even 1 of your mods refuted. Thought maybe a little optomism on my part would be aceptable.

i cant find the quote, but i did find an article that says by the time biden takes office, it will be another 300k deaths, so that kinda is in line with what i posted.
Again have not seen that #..
We are now averaging nearly 2000 deaths per day There are now 88 days til Biden is sworn in. @ 2,000 per day would be 166,000. However that # could decrease pending the vacine. IMO with Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years Eve celebrations the 2,000 # may increase.

Your prediction about bars, restaurants, etc. will only come to fruition if we continually to quarantine healthy people. This virus will flame out like all other viruses do. My only concern is how we as a society react when it does.
For example, the CDC issues travel guidances for countries based on COVID levels. Level 1 is a daily case rate of 5/100,000; this would equate to 38 daily cases or less in North Dakota. The CDC recommends masks and distancing at this level. We’ll have levels in this range forever, so what’s the end game?If we contnue the current path we are on, When will the virus flame out?

Great, numbers are rising. I ask again, why roll out a strategy that has proven to be a failure?
Read previous post, I oppose lock downs.
My recent post has nothing to do with strategy. Itwas an opinion.
As I have stated in the past 'everyone is entitled to their opinion even if it is wrong'.
Also:

Last election is proof of that.

US covid sgges o far today.
64,000 new cases/994 deaths. Once again well on the way to over 100,000 new cases and 2,000 deaths. Our country cannot sustain these daily #'s
Unless there are some significant behaverable changes we will not have to worry about a lock down. It will take care of itself. Bars, resturants, grocery etc.
will find in nearly impossible to find workers. Our hospitals, now near or at capcity will be unable to serve all.
It is now esstimated there will be 50 million new cases by February

You think this virus is the ‘worst’ in world history, or North Dakota’s case count is the worst in the world?
Believe ND has had the highest per capita virus cases in world..Some weeks SD becomes # 1.

You see what they did at the Shanghai airport? Would we as a society be okay with that level of draconian lock down? I don’t think we’d be okay with that.
Stated previously I oppose a complete lock down. That does not mean we abandon all common sense measures to limit the spread of the virus.

The mask mandate is in place. Masks are still as out of place (on chin or missing completely) in Bismarck as they were a month ago.
Guess I did not make it clear,
I realize there is a mask mandate in place and some common sense measures have been ordered that if everyone complies will slow down the out of control virus which is the worst in the world,

I think that is what I saigws by the house but not convicted. Nixon was impeached by the house, as you are well aware it then was sent to Senate where the trial was to be held. Nixon resigned prior to the Senate acting. He was chargedby the house but not convicted. Ford's pardon insured he could not be charged with that crime and any other federal crime he may have commited while president.
