Name countries better than the US.
You know how I'd answer, so why ask?
Much less importantly, don't you get a kick out of finding actual or imagined minor logic/grammar/spelling flaws in the things that people say? In this case, as should be obvious, we could be "the best" country in the world, and still not be great. I guess you missed that.
But, just to be clear, we're still neither.

My account of the facts of the case has nothing to do with the New York Times or anything they reported. With respect to the motion filed last night, I never mentioned the New York Times. The motion doesn’t mention the New York Times either. Nothing came from the New York Times.
You seem to have the New York Times on the brain with respect to the Comey case – and even worse, you keep saying that I'm somehow relying on the New York Times – when, as far as I can tell, the New York Times has absolutely nothing to do with any of this, and absolutely nothing to do with anything I posted.
I agree that we don’t know the specific instances, or much of anything for that matter, that are the bases of Counts 1 and 2, because the Indictment is deficient on its face as to what is being charged. That deficiency is the subject of Comey’s motion discussed above and another motion for a Bill of Particular that Comey filed last night, trying to get the prosecution to spell out what they are actually charging.
Very few motions to dismiss succeed because the vast majority of trained, experienced prosecutors only file cases that they believe meet the high evidentiary and legal burdens they face. That has little to do with the grand jury. And again, you seem to have some OCD thing going with the New York Times, that has nothing to do with any of this.
You should read the motion to dismiss filed last night. It neatly and comprehensively explains the problems with the Indictment that we've been discussing since it was filed regarding Cruz's question(s) about Andy McCabe and Comey's answers. Hallirans will have a tough time coming up with a Response that makes sense. I can't think of any reasonable way to bend Cruz and the Indictment around to make this case about Daniel Richman who was never even mentioned in 8 hours of Comey's Congressional hearings. Can you?
I'm not going to argue with you, because that wasn't the point of what I wrote. I was wrong that you were relying on the Times, snd I noticed this when I went back and re-read your post. I also missed that there was apparently another motion filed yesterday, and I'm either wrong about the Nov 3 deadline for when the answer is due, or the November 13 deadline is set for the first motion. We'll know more by November 13, in either case.
No offense.
But saying none of us are lawyers and we will know more later isn’t really adding much to the conversation for those that like to get into the weeds on these legal filings. You are stating the obvious.

I am not saying the US is the best but most countries are far worse than this county.

And it's funny, because my mind initially, and for a few minutes remained, thinking of so many western European countries. But that was silly. Who needs to go that far for perhaps THE best example?
Canada.
In so many ways, almost certainly a LOT like living in the U.S.
But would Canada support a Trump, and all of the horrible things that he's said and done? I don't know, but I don't think so. In any event, as of yet, they haven't. We have.

There might not be a lot of them, but is a relatively poor, democratic country inferior to a rich autocracy? (No)
Was relatively sophisticated Nazi Germany superior to every other poor AND un-democratic country in the world? (No)
And yes, I'm assuming that when you say "far worse" you're referring mostly or entirely to economics. You might not be, but you probably are.
Remember JUST a few years ago when all of the fake patriots would have agreed that it was far, far better to be poor and free than well-off and oppressed?

Funny bonus thought: Trump manages to be awfully fond of the leaders of countries that are both relatively poor AND oppressed. Twofer !!

So it’s looks like bombing in Venezuela will be taking place shortly. Can’t have those ships and aircraft out there just chilling in the Caribbean for no reason.
Any Trumpers want to justify this new war?

We need to eliminate drug traffickers who bring nothing but Drugs, Misery, and Terror to the American people. Under President Trump the department of War has made it its goal to eliminate as many narcoterrorists as possible, so that they can never harm Americans again.

Haiti for sure. Most of the people who live in Qatar are slaves.
Despite the President’s war on Chicago, I prefer living here to either.

They don’t have slaves in Qatar. Even what some woke activists called “slavery” (a specific migrant labor system they had) was abolished in 2016.

It’s laughable to think any country is better than the US. More Dem stupidity and insulting themselves. Move.

they're arresting citizens on the streets for being hispanic, they're executing people at sea, they have sidelined the national legislature, they are training the army to fight US citizens in the cities.
Don't kid yourself about what is coming to these shores.

Implicit MAGA position in that question: "Why would we care about staying a country that is free and prosperous?"
And, of course, name all of the autocracies that stay prosperous.
It's a lose-lose, and half this country is shrugging about it, or cheering for it.

Yeah, I do! They're smuggling things other than Fentanyl to Trinidad, which is leading to millions (if not billions) of Fentanyl overdoses on the streets of 'Mericuh (of imaginary people who Trump wouldn't care about one bit even if they existed).
