“Let them vote against us, we’ll save a lot” – President Trump.

It gets better by the day!

Well I agree to kick the UN out of New York, but I would relocate a new building / complex just on our side of the border in Texas. Exactly where the UN was I would tear down and drill for oil. Not that there is any there but if there was I would make all profits go to the family's who lost folks on 911. With that I also would build super structures all along the southern border good and deep. The thought would be to choke the bastards drug flow off. Every idea the United Nations hates about the United States I'd make sure it was right in their face in the heart of gun country.

Here's the thing: dealing with radical governments and terrorists out of fear doesn't work.

Was this UN vote a surprise for Trump and Nikki Haley? They sound as if they actually thought that the vote would go their way.

Here's the deal.
If you call yourself a country and you are smaller than a US city, you don't count. What you want doesn't matter. STFU.

"The United States will remember this vote."


Go TRUMP!

bye...memo to Japan: Remember when we told we had your back when it comes to N Korea?
Well, GFY!

Time to move the United Nations headquarters to Europe - maybe Germany or even Vatican City (since they are all on board with the climate disruption bs)

I had no idea they were going to take a vote to slap our wrist. I'm sure they had advance notice just like all of them must, but of course it was only days notice, not weeks or months. I'm sure they knew there would be votes against us, but perhaps not as many or from particular states?

I don't know how this is going to all unfold, but I do find it an interesting move. There was a report that a US delegation including the son in law met with the young leader of Saudi just days before this announcement. Then I heard an expert say that this move by Trump is something that many of the Middke East leaders are fine with in private, but they can't say so publicly. They have to maintain their public stand of supporting the Palestinians. But they are really a bit tired of the issue, and have softened their thoughts regarding Israel, and this is just an annoyance, their big concern is Iran.

So if this is all true, maybe this was a move privately supported by Saudi and perhaps some others.

Yes, and add Gus's list.

And who supplies them the butter.
Hell, the bread too!

BTW, the palestinian mad dogs have called for a day of rage to protest.
Make the point - they are not civilized people, and do not deserve to be treated as if they were. Israel should take BACK all the land they gave up under pressure.

Total BS given that many of the Palestinians believe the solution of peace only comes about with the annihilation of Israel.
