SonofLincoln:It is indeed very arguable when said that America is the "greatest" country in the world. First of all, what does it mean to be a great country? According to the UN charter, the 3 basic indices of a sustainable human life boils down to; 1. The mortality rate. 2. The economic growth and development. 3. The safety and security of human life, ie, the rate of crime and loss of life. On this basis, can it really be said that America is the best country that has the best rate of these indices? America is the richest country in the world, but you have a situation whereby the disparity between the rich and the poor is very large compared to other wealthy nations too. That large wealth is highly concentrated in the hands of a few and a vast majority of its citizens live on just basic income. You also have to look at the welfare system in other wealthy European nations and see how much better those countries look after their poor citizens and the aged much better than the American system. 2. America's health care system is a quality health care system but one that is consumed by its ultra capitalism. You have a situation whereby individuals are constantly seeking to make as much money as they can from ailing individuals, Unlike In Europe where the wealthiest countries have a centralized health care system like the NHS in UK and that of Germany that subsidizes the cost of healthcare costs of for it's citizens. It is much cheaper to treat yourself in Europe than in America despite having comparable qualities of health care. Lastly, It is fairly obvious to state that security in America is quite alarming for an advanced country. Before you even factor racially motivated crime. In America, you have a terrifying situation whereby almost every single adult feels the need to buy a gun to feel safe. America has the highest crime and incarceration rate of any advanced country, thousands continuously die of gunshot wounds daily. The quality of the police-civilian relationship has always been very poor unlike other wealthy countries like Germany, UK and France. America has the highest no of gangs and street urchins worse still armed with automatic weapons. Short and simple. American safety is the poorest compared to other 1st world countries. So you can see, it's sort of a myth to say that America is the "greatest" country in the world. Being the richest country and having the best military doesn't necessarily translate to it's citizens having the best quality of life. An average citizen of Germany or UK will boast of having a good chance of economic upward mobility, while also boasting of feeling very secured in a society without guns and a very healthy incarceration rate, one where their country focuses on rehabilitation rather than incarceration. One where they can count on their government to provide good quality health care for all it's citizens and not left at the mercy of capitalists and insurers. AMERICA IS NOT THE "GREATEST" COUNTRY IN THE WORLD. THAT'S A MYTH. |

Senate clears bill removing Confederate names from military bases, setting up clash with Trump Senators approved the National Defense Authorization Act in a 86-14 blowout. https://www.politico.com/news/2020/07/23/senate-defense-bill-ndaa-bases-trump-380362 The Senate overwhelmingly passed its $741 billion defense policy legislation on Thursday, with the Republican-led body defying a threat from President Donald Trump to veto legislation that would force the removal of Confederate names from Army bases. Senators approved the National Defense Authorization Act in a 86-14 blowout. Both the House and Senate have passed bills this week with majorities large enough to overcome a veto from Trump. |

Mehn trump is a classic idiot I just cant overstate how dumb he is, this is not genius but lies and gaslighting How can you show videos of the atrocities happening under your nose and say this is what would happen under Biden? What a foolish thing to do, giving away responsibility while at the same time taking away people's right to protest. Michael Cohen who committed a crime just got his First Amendment rights protected by the courts. Think about it, Cohen is a felon. But you can take away First Amendment rights of your citizens like criminals because they protested with graffiti. Think these protesters are not criminals in any law of the land.

feedthenation:Veto a bill that got passed with an 86 - 14 majority? Even Trump is not that stupid. The Senators will simply veto the Presidents veto. |

wirinet:what I know is trump is going to end up in a rather sad or tragic blaze of dumbfoolery but his supporters will see it as blaze of glory In not too far future, to call someone a trump can get your jaw realigned Mothers will warn their kids... Don't you be a trump, you knucklehead... |

wirinet:Check the population of US (340) million to those countries you are talking about and see the difference. It's easy for a country of 6 or 7 million people to have that kind of GDP when their workforce is tiny compared to Almighty US. |

Obrigardo:Mothers are saying don't be a Trumpy right now. That's how disgusting that piece of human crap is. Cohen will be out of jail soon and he will finish his book. That's the reason AG Barr sent him back to jail while Manafort is out of jail. Everything will be over for Don the Con in a little over 100 days. |

SonofLincoln:A 2/3 senate vote of a quorum overrides a president's veto. It's 66 at a full senate sitting, but could be significantly less since a quorum is 51 senators. |
