Trump might withdraw U.S. from United Nations Human Rights Council!

[True Dough]

He's out of control. Negotiation tactics or not, he's a god damn bull in a china shop. By the way, when does Congress and the Senate get a chance to debate such drastic measures?


The United States is expected to signal on Tuesday that it might withdraw from the United Nations Human Rights Council unless reforms are ushered in including the removal of what it sees as an "anti-Israel bias", diplomats and activists said.

U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley, who holds cabinet rank in President Donald Trump's administration, said last week Washington would decide on whether to withdraw from the Council after its three-week session in Geneva ends this month.

Under Trump, Washington has broken with decades of U.S. foreign policy by turning away from multilateralism. His decision to withdraw from the Paris climate agreement last week drew criticism from governments around the world.

The Council's critical stance of Israel has been a major sticking point for its ally the United States. Washington boycotted the body for three years under President George W. Bush before rejoining under Barack Obama in 2009.

1. Not surprised

The republicans I know are against human rights. They believe there should be nothing against making money any way it can be made. If doing illegally just don't get caught. They think forced work is alright. We as Americans get paid too much, except them of course. Exploiting people is alright, it is not them, and they like cheap stuff. They usually just spout off that it is god's will.
Trump is playing up to every despot he can. Saudi Arabia, in particular has most of the major credit cards and they think the chattel part of the clause means that they own you.

3. I'm not reacting

To 45's "Outrage of The Day" anymore.

He's going down. Not today or tomorrow . . . Not even next week.

I'm convinced he's a traitor and it's only a matter of time.

I'm not looking anywhere but at the Traitor In Chief and what he said to the Russians and when did he say it.
