"America has now fallen behind Canada, Denmark and Sweden, among other nations."

Man.... if only there was a political movement here in the US who looked across the Atlantic at countries like these, see what they do successfully to produce the happiest populations on earth, and implement some of those ideas here.

Oh well.....

England's death rate from the virus is 50% worse than ours on a per capita basis. Do you want to make that trade? Well, do you?

Ummmm, no?

That political party doesn’t exist in America. It hasn’t ever existed in American history. I agree we should be looking at other countries to find a better way, but we’ve never done that. Politicians are too busy getting rich to worry about making America a better place.

Correct, but there are those who want to transform some things in the Nordic model. Not all of it, but some of it.

Depends on which side of it you are on. :)
 
That cop in Atlanta is being charged with FELONY MURDER.

Man... that case was not so cut and dry, I am kind of surprised by this.. I think their actions AFTER the shooting led to the charges. Described below:

After shooting Brooks, Rolfe said "I got him" and kicked him, and Brosnan then stood on Brooks' shoulder, Howard said. The officers did not provide medical aid to Brooks for over two minutes after shooting him, Howard said.

England has 30k deaths and a population of 55 million. U.S.A. has 6 times the population of England. 6*30k=180k. U.S.A. has 119k deaths thus 60k more deaths would be a 50% increase from our perspective.
 
John Bolton's new book claims direct knowledge that Trump approached Xi Jinping to gain help getting re-elected. Also claims Trump has gotten involved in cases as favors for dictators he likes, and that he gave Xi the green light on concentration camps for Muslims in China....

Today, Trump signed a human rights bill for those Muslims in China to counter the accusation.

This is absurd
 
“He second-guessed people’s motives, saw conspiracies behind rocks, and remained stunningly uninformed on how to run the White House, let alone the huge federal government,” Bolton writes, always looking to “personal instinct” and opportunities for “reality TV showmanship.”

Given Bolton’s expertise and his White House role from 2018 to 2019, the book is heavily focused on foreign policy episodes and decisions, from Ukraine and Venezuela to North Korea and Iran.

Bolton recounts numerous private conversations Trump had with other leaders that revealed the limits of his knowledge. He recalls Trump asking Kelly if Finland is part of Russia. In a meeting with then-British Prime Minister Theresa May in 2018, a British official referred to the United Kingdom as a “nuclear power,” and Trump interjects: “Oh, are you a nuclear power?” Bolton adds that he could tell the question about Britain, which has long maintained a nuclear arsenal, “was not intended as a joke.”

This is total BS and yet another attempt to take down the president. At what point is it treason to continue to falsify investigations to take down the president?

we have seen this song and dance numerous times.
 
After Trump completed a phone call with South Korea’s president ahead of the 2018 Singapore summit with North Korea, Pompeo and Bolton shared their disdain for the president’s handling of the conversation, he writes. Pompeo, having listened in on the call from the Middle East, told Bolton he was “having a cardiac arrest in Saudi Arabia.” Bolton shared his similar disappointment with the call, describing it as a “near death experience.”

Bolton attributes a litany of shocking statements to the president. Trump said invading Venezuela would be “cool” and that the South American nation was “really part of the United States.” Bolton says Trump kept confusing the current and former presidents of Afghanistan, while asking Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to help him strike a deal with Iran. And Trump told Xi that Americans were clamoring for him to change constitutional rules to serve more than two terms, according to the book.
 
What is more ridiculous, that the officer that shot Brooks is charged with felony murder or that the other cop is charged with aggravated assault?

I am not familiar with Georgia law, but doesn't felony murder imply a pre-determined motive?

You honestly can't imagine Trump asking and saying stupid things? He does it practically every day.

Trump saying dumb things really isn't the parts I am interested in reading... I want to know more about what Bolton knows in regards to Ukraine and China, on the impeachment offenses. Bolton claims to know a lot more impeachable stuff.

The other parts are really just embarrassing for Trump... but Trump does plenty on a regular basis to embarrass himself and show us all how dumb he is. That's not breaking news or anything, and he doesn't need any help exposing that he is an idiot.
