https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trump-hangs-plaques-mocking-biden-obama-white-house/story?id=128492648 President Donald Trump has installed plaques underneath portraits of presidents at the White House, using them to insult and make unfounded claims about some of his predecessors including Joe Biden and Barack Obama -- the latest in a series of controversial White House changes under Trump.
The plaques, many of which the White House said Trump penned himself, add to what the president has dubbed the "Presidential Walk of Fame" -- a portrait gallery along the West Wing Colonnade -- and describe the tenures of former commanders in chief in an overtly political way.
Trump's most recent predecessors' plaques read the most editorialized. The permanent signs are stylistically similar to the president's social media posts, with sporadic capitalizations and punctuation -- including many exclamation points.
Under Biden, depicted only by his signature written by the presidential autopen, the plaque includes claims such as "Sleepy Joe Biden was, by far, the worst President in American History," adding that he took office "as a result of the most corrupt Election ever seen in the United States" and that "Biden oversaw a series of unprecedented disasters that brought our Nation to the brink of destruction."
Trump also attacked Biden for his economic record, his climate, immigration and foreign policies, including the Afghanistan withdrawal (calling it "among the most humiliating events in American History"). He also said that because of Biden's "weakness," Russia invaded Ukraine, and "Hamas terrorists launched the heinous October 7th attack on Israel."
The plaque also cites what Trump calls Biden's "severe mental decline, and his unprecedented use of the Autopen."
Under Obama, Trump wrote: "Barack Hussein Obama was the first Black President, a community organizer, one term Senator from Illinois, and one of the most divisive political figures in American History."

Obama's plaque ends with a more false claims that he "spied on the 2016 Presidential Campaign of Donald J. Trump, and presided over the creation of the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax, the worst political scandal in American History."

although things etched onto those plates may be true, it is in the way it is written. Low IQ does not understand vocabulary nuances and therefore he is a low IQ nigger.
Low IQ also cannot comprehend the National Division that these plaques create. That just by the wording on them, it is purposefully inflammatory and has no purpose other than to anger someone else.

Jerome JUST announced last week that he's going to print 10 billion every month in QE until it reaches 45 billion in short-term bill purchases, all the while saying this will have negligible impact on inflation, and you niggers are arguing about the financial impact of $250 million or even an equally taxed amount of $250 billion.
https://www.reuters.com/markets/us/fed-could-surprise-market-with-t-bill-buying-binge-2025-12-09/ Clearly, Taxes don't matter because if the government needs money, they can just print an infinite supply and Inflation will never increase by their own admission, and $250 million doesn't matter because the government can print that much for every person in the USA and still not encounter any inflation by their own definition. This entire thing is a scam up to and including taxes, handouts, and even price increases. Literally none of it matters, it's being determined artificially by committee, and they're the ones who decide if Potatoes are $1000 a spud or $1.50. The difference percentage-wise between those two is less than the difference between one month of QE by our sham retard government pumping itself so it can pretend to have an economy.
So stop pretending any of this matters.

The largest wind farm in America is the Mojave Wind Farm in Tehachapi Pass in SoCal and it ranks among the 100 most productive power plants in the country despite only being half complete (construction literally only started in 2010) whereas many other plants have been continuously expanded for decades. 600 god damn windmills is all it takes to best some of the largest coal plants in the country.

How much did they cost to build? How much do they cost to maintain? How much land do they need to operate? 3000 actually. Which means it actually only ranks slightly lower than the biggest coal plants in the US (they average around 3500 mw) with the added benefit of the fact that it requires much less black lung and isn't vulnerable to coal shortages and supply line issues.

It's not like every state with nuclear power just uses temporary sites that are literal ticking time bombs that will eventually break down due to the corrosion of the containers used by the radioactivity, meaning constant upkeep and the risk of natural disasters causing nuclear emergencies... oh, wait. That's exactly the case.

>>1466958 Y'know what? You're right, which is why California should do the moral thing and completely stop importing nuclear energy from us heathen red states. Go ahead. Fill your entire shit state with wind farms that will cost several billion dollars to make up for the loss while I sit here at my high performance PC that's banned in CA and pay a fraction for energy what you do. Seriously, go ahead. You were going on earlier about how I want to ban wind farms. Far from it! I want your state - and ONLY your state - to invest heavily in it. So lead the way to the future! Go for it.

>>1466961 You realize that California does have at least one nuclear plant still open right? They're not even opposed to nuclear power itself; they're opposed to the incomplete process of US nuclear waste disposal that turns nuclear plants into long term ticking time bombs and SHOULD be addressed before we start creating more of them.

>>1466962 Welp! Guess they need to shut that one down too so it doesn't contribute anymore waste. This just gets better and better.

So I did a bit of math. If you want Cali to stop contributing to nuclear waste, and just leave that burden to us heathen red staters, they would have to make about... mmm 20 more of those Alta wind farms (I didn't include the only in state nuke plant that produces about 10% of the state's electricity so figure it out on your own). So get to work! Start building! Sure it will cost SEVERAL LMAO BILLIONS but hey, you can't put a price on a clean environment. Don't worry, we'll take over the burden of living off nuclear energy from you.

>>1466977 So I didn't say that then? Great. Talk about bad faith. Now as to the rest of your post...
If you scroll up the thread you'd realize that California was brought up because it has the largest wind farm in the country. Which isn't doing shit for them no matter how much money they throw at it, so they have to import a chunk of their energy from out of state. Now if not for people like you, they would've invested in nuclear plants instead and saved a lot of money actually meeting their demands. But your worried about nuclear waste building up and it being a potential issue in the future. Given our track record, I think we'll be fine but whatever. Point is you're whole argument hinges on how I don't have a solution to get rid of nuclear waste, so let me be very clear here - I'm not a scientist or a nuclear engineer. I'm under ZERO fucking obligation to invent a method of cancelling radiation like Ghost in the Shell just to argue with you, no more than I would be expected to come up with a cure for cancer. So shove your "bad faith" nonsense up your ass.
Secondly, every other state that uses nuclear hasn't had an issue with it. But because it creates a byproduct we can't degrade you don't think we should use it. Fair enough! Stop using it then. California (or whatever dogshit blue state you live in) should immediately shell out hundreds of billions of dollars into unreliable, underperforming green energy to replace everything it currently uses - including imports. You can whine about how "bad faith" that is, but still can't refute it.

So shove your "bad faith" nonsense up your ass. Retard the point is that there IS a way to dispose of radiation (deep geological repositories) which the US does not have. Our current method of storing waste is an interim method and California is absolutely correct that it's a bad idea to keep going further without any permanent disposal locations. We literally have the answer, we just haven't built one yet and that's the fucking problem.

Fucknut thinks if Plant A produces twice as much energy than Plant B that means Plant A is more efficient even if it costs 4 times as much to run. Actual toddler brain. Must be all the lead.
Just to be abundantly clear, the most efficient form of power generation is gas, followed closely by solar and then wind. Nuclear is the second least efficient after that old style of solar where they used a bunch of mirrors to reflect sunlight to a single point to melt salt.
And wind and solar is only getting more efficient as production scales up and the tech improves, unlike gas.

It's easy to see that wind energy is a massive scam because we do actually have the most perfect form of clean energy. The only pollutant it produces is steam and the occasional spent fuel rod, which we bury deep in the ground.

>>1467014 I worked with a guy in big oil and he told me what the scam was.
tl;dr Nuclear energy is unironically too efficient. So long as they are built safely and maintained, they produce an indefinite amount of clean energy forever. They actually, unironically, produce less radiation than coal plants.
But the profit from energy generation doesn't only come from the power itself. It comes from manufacturing parts and construction contracts. A single power plant is less profitable than ten thousand wind turbines that self-destruct and need their shit replaced all the time.
This is basically why oil barons are the biggest shills for wind energy. Extracting oil isn't the goal, making money is the goal.

Disposal of Radioactive Waste
In Part I.A.12 of my letter to Dr. Skrbina dated March 17, 2005, I expressed the opinion, based on “the demonstrated unreliability of untested technological solutions,” that the nuclear-waste disposal site at Yucca Mountain, Nevada likely would prove to be a failure. It may be of interest to trace the subsequent history of the Yucca Mountain site as reported in the media.
On March 18, 2005, The Denver Post, page 4A, carried an Associated Press report by Erica Werner according to which then-recent studies had found that water seepage through the Yucca Mountain site was faster than what earlier studies had reported. The more-rapid movement of water implied a greater risk of escape of radioactive materials from the site, and there were reasons to suspect that the earlier studies had been intentionally falsified.
The Week,, January 26, 2007, page 24, reported a new study: “Special new containers designed to hold nuclear waste for tens of thousands of years may begin to fall apart in just 210 years,” the study found. “Researchers... had pinned their hopes on zircon, a material they thought was stable enough to store the waste....” The scientists had based this belief on computer simulations, but they were “startled” when they discovered how alpha radiation affected the “zircon” in reality.
Zircon is a gemstone. The substance referred to in the article presumably is a ceramic called transformation-toughened zirconia. See NEB (2003), Vol. 21, “Industrial Ceramics,” pages 262-63.

On March 6, 2009, The Denver Post, page 14A, carried an Associated Press report by H.Josef Hebert according to which the U.S. Government had abandoned the plan to store reactor waste at Yucca Mountain. This after having spent 13.5 billion dollars on the project.
On July 15, 2011, USA Today, page 4A, carried an Associated Press report to the effect that the U.S. House of Representatives had appropriated funds for further consideration of the plan to store nuclear waste at the Yucca Mountain site.
As of April 2016 I've made no systematic effort to follow these developments further, but if any major, definitive action had been taken for the permanent disposal of radioactive waste it probably would have been well publicized, and we would know about it. Various alternatives have been proposed (see Wald in our List of Works Cited), but whatever solution—if any—is eventually adopted, its execution inevitably will be characterized by negligence, incompetence, and dishonesty. See, e.g., The Economist, March 19, 2011, page 40; Eisler, page 2A. More likely, no definitive action will ever be taken for the permanent disposal of radioactive waste in the U.S. The problem will be allowed to drag on indefinitely, and meanwhile new nuclear power-plants will continue to be built, the festering pools of deadly stuff will grow and grow...
