Who the feck cares who’s number one or not? That’s some high school shit man.
I’m wondering if that restaurant is associated with the military. It’s more common to see the initiative to do such things when it’s military people hanging around. You won’t see this in any typical restaurant.
Oh them.
I hate that restaurant. The food is shit

No.1 at measles outbreaks.
I’ve been to a good number of restaurants outside military bases where patrons get discounts if they show their military IDs and have never seen anything like this.
The question is a bit ill-imposed IMO. Sure, US still has the biggest GDP, army and by extension influence in the world, I don't think that many people are denying it. But not many people from European rich countries would want to go to US, unless they are rich (or have the ability to become rich). If you're earning less than 100k in Cali, you're not having a great life, and if you're jobless, then you are also homeless and doctor-less, something that rarely happens in the likes of Germany, Switzerland, Norway, Sweden and co.
I acknowledge that US has its appeals, but at the same time has so many problems.
This is the best response to North’s ditching of the NRA I have seen...

Dear god, PC is easily the armpit of Florida. I am sorry if you had to experience too much of it.
If you live in lower Bama it’s like visiting Ibiza
Haven’t laughed out loud recently until I read your reply. I can totally see why. Club La Vela must be like Space for those stuck in lower Alabama. I can remember going to CLV in the early to mid 90s with all top international DJs playing there after Simon’s & Firestone. It has slightly changed.
Destin is where it’s at now for the LA tourists. Panama City is a relic of the 80s/90s.
Drove through there in October after Michael, fecking ghost town, especially to the east past the base. It will be very interesting to see where they are come a couple of months. Even a minor storm could vaporize what’s left.
Destin or Pensacola however Florabama is slowly being replaced by Bay St Louis / Biloxi MS again.
Also, my Mom lived in Alabama but nowhere near "Bamabiza" unfortunately way up near Montgomery, nothing good comes from there, so glad she moved.

Facebook just removed six extremists from its platforms.

Number 1 in what? Realized military power? Potential military power? Quality of life? Education? Healthcare?
The US is number 1 in only one of those categories. It's number 2 or 3 in potential military power (1 is China and 2 might be India). It's not first in quality of life. It hasn't been first in education in a very very very long time, if it ever was. It's not been first in healthcare, similarly to education, not for a long time if ever.
So what are your metrics for "best country in the world". I feel like you conflate best with biggest of the wealthy western democracies, or military power with best.
The US is a very powerful country, with a lot of influence, but power and influence doesn't make you the best, unless your metric for best IS power and influence, and in that case, that has nothing to do with the average person and their daily experience and struggles.

What are you on about? Are you using available ground troops as actual millitary power? That's a bit outdated.
It's laughable of US politics/current political climate that a sitting judge may get 20 years for having empathy while a sitting President having committed criminal acts carries on.
It's a toxic banana republic. Shithole.
Prosecutors are rats
Prove that some politicians are just plain weird.
Meanwhile the Banks that caused the 2008 Crash got fined which they happily paid from billions they made by destroying millions of lives.
...and no one went to prison.
Murica.
Look at the woman's face at 30.
And I'm sure you can hear someone say "are you sh*tting me" at .07
So awkward, and I think it's stupid.
Eating chicken to own William Barr.
Yeah .The way she explained it to her colleague then rolled her eyes as if to say WTF.
I just watched the documentary with AOC on Netflix.
I love her. Like actual, real love.

You stay away from her. I’ll fight you.
Georgia is trying to pass (may have) a bill that would literally criminalize abortion to include if the woman crossed state lines to do so in another state, and punishable up to ten years.
Btw, the audio in that clip is shit. Can you find an audio clip without the problems?

It worked for me
Basically the speaker says, without pausing, amendment is tabled, all those in favour say aye, all those in favour say no, motion passed. All the while one guy was shouting no no no and raising his hand. He says the motion was never made in the first place. Then the speaker refuses to backtrack, some other Democrat woman has the mic and says "we know the bill is going to pass, at least have a roll call vote" and speaker says it's already passed because no-one said no or raised their hands [total clear lie].

Audio goes in/out for me no matter how I view, via Caf or via Twitter, even when reloading or restarting. Bizarre.
That's how I saw it too.It worked for me
