New U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, pledged on Friday to overhaul the world body and warned U.S. allies that if they do not have Washingtons back then she is taking names and will respond.

Haley made brief remarks to the press as she arrived at U.N. headquarters in New York to present her credentials to U.N. chief Antonio Guterres.

Our goal with the administration is to show value at the U.N. and the way that well show value is to show our strength, show our voice, have the backs of our allies and make sure that our allies have our back as well, Haley said.

For those that dont have our back, were taking names, we will make points to respond to that accordingly, she added.

1. OMG....Nothing like...

tossing out BOLD THREATS on your first day at your new job. It is going to take America decades to undue the harm that the Trump Administration is going to do to our world standing.

[ffr]

13. Putin wins.

[yeoman6987]

23. And she's one that the senate overwhelmingly voted in

I shutter to think what the other 1st press conferences will be. Devos says say prays morning noon and night or else?????

[pangaia]

39. " And she's one that the senate overwhelmingly voted in..."

tell me about it,.

Why is it most of our 'demo reps' are such fucking cowards?
And it takes a 'bunch of women' marching in the streets to stand up to this suddenly fuckwadded up reality?



No. Don't tell me.





PS.. before somebody jumps on this - " 'bunch of women' is an ANALOGY

[yuiyoshida]

2. Wow she's a bully isn't she...

I guess Trump either wants out of the United Nations, or to be kicked out.

[dhill926]

21. Quid pro quo...

For getting the job perhaps…

[brush]

3. WTH? How does she come off with this saber-rattling crap in 6 days on the job?

[GliderGuider]

4. It's all part of 4GW, and she is an enemy combatant.

I described what I think is going on here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10028546307

[brush]

20. I just read it. It's really something to think about.

[Achilleaze]

[ffr]

14. +1

And their doing Putin's bidding. Because when America loses, it plays right into an opportunity for Putin's Russia to assume a new leadership roll.

[Stonepounder]

6. He really wants to play with those nukes, doesn't he?

[yallerdawg]

7. Diplomacy.

Wasn't it a wonderful thing when we used to belong to the Family of Nations?

Mo more.

Now we're just the big bully in the neighborhood while this pirate ship of plunderers takes over.

[C_U_L8R]

8. Snicker

Who on earth is going to take the Trump administration seriously?
Every move they make is idiotic and hamfisted.

[Stonepounder]

11. As per my earlier comment,

He knows and is fascinated that we have the largest nuclear arsenal on earth and he can't wait for an excuse to play with them. The fact that it will probably wipe out all life on earth doesn't enter into the equation. This is his idea of 'negotiating' - do it my way, or else!

[charliea]

35. I've seen this movie!

Oh, damn let us hope that art doesn't presage life (or death).

So I'm glad a bill has been introduced to restrict that, of course it won't pass but it means someone else has seen this movie!

[Solly Mack]

9. Fart noises

[Cha]

48. I know, right.

[Liberalagogo]

10. Just following Putin's orders, I see...

n/t

[muriel_volestrangler]

12. So how do we combine this with Conway talking about lifting sanctions of Russia?

Does the Trump regime think that it gets to define the policy of all its allies and they must follow? Will it ever cross its mind to 'have the backs' of its allies?

[Mc Mike]

15. They'll succeed at uniting the entire civilized world,

against the US.

Hopefully just against the repuglinazi junta running it, though.

[still_one]

16. oh that is good. That is how you make friends, do it our way or else. This

entire administration is racing to the bottom

[Paladin]

17. Nikki Haley, part of the open-and-out Trump Thug Nation.

We're taking names too, Ms. Haley, and you can expect a response you won't like.

[geek tragedy]

18. what does that even mean? nt

[marybourg]

41. That's what i asked when I heard it. Maybe it's a

kind of tag-line from a tough-guy TV show neither of us watch?

[ProfessorGAC]

43. It Means. . .

. . .we have a big military and lot of industry, nyah, nyah, nyah!

Geek, i thought you spoke moronese. Surprised you needed a translation.

[geek tragedy]

44. there are different dialects of Moronese.

I think this one was more like "I have to show the boss I'm trying to dominate while he's watching television"

[Freethinker65]

19. So far just American puffery

[GusBob]

22. Our friends shall become enemies, our enemies shall be emboldened

terrorists will rush into fill the voids

[ananda]

24. Eleanor and Adlai are turning in their graves.

To see us come to this kind of pass.

Sad sigh.

[elleng]

25. OH FFS!

[Generator]

26. All they ever do is threaten

Most of the world will not take kindly to it.

[riversedge]

27. omg. omg. what have we become. This behavior is beyond the pale.

[BeyondGeography]

28. The world is rapidly learning how many raging assholes we have here

Long-term damage in progress.

[manicraven]

29. Such arrogance!

[Blue_Tires]

30. Mafia presidency...

[greatauntoftriplets]

31. U.S. is now a bully nation.

[okwmember]

32. So diplomatic that one.

[They_Live]

33. The Trump group is doing a great job

of destroying our country. And in a hurry!

[Hekate]

34. KnR

[mindem]

36. No surprise

drumph only has one management style for his administration, we used to call it "buffy" - brute force, fucking ignorance".

[Blue Idaho]

37. Nasty Nickey Threatens the World.

Meanwhile, China is busy making friends and spending money with countries on our southern border.

They don't have a clue what they are doing...

[Docreed2003]

38. Might makes right...

We're becoming the United States of Assholes...

[LiberalLovinLug]

40. Honestly in my lifetime I thought I'd seen the pinacle of dangerous RW extremist running the country

with W Bush and company. That electing an African American President, along with the seemingly shift to more liberal stances across the country on gay marriage and pot legalization, that there would never again be anyone as reckless and greedy and dishonest. But Trump has actually surpassed that in only a week.

[Ilsa]

42. Is she a natural bully, or did she go to Trump U to learn it? NT

[moondust]

45. Authoritarian Amateur Hour.

Where's Ted Mack when you need him?



ETA: Glad the new Secretary General of the U.N. is the Socialist former prime minister of Portugal, António Guterres, who was U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees for 10 years. Could be a big job with NikkiRump in the house.

[BumRushDaShow]

46. Anyone still wondering why Obama was given a Nobel Peace Prize?

We are certainly seeing what the power of the complete opposite looks like.

[smirkymonkey]

47. Who do they think they are? The effing Mafia?

God, they have some nerve!

[Tatiana]

49. This lady was confirmed 96-4. Why?

Completely inexperienced and clueless. Susan Rice must be off shaking her head somewhere.... What a downgrade.

[Little Tich]

50. It's a two-way street of course - as long as the US stands firm with sanctions against Russia,

doesn't break up any trade agreements or starts to erode the role of NATO, there shouldn't be any problems...

[no_hypocrisy]

51. The new position of the US is "or else" at the United Nations?

Has someone pointed out the irony and hypocrisy of that statement?

[raccoon]

52. "Nikki's" real name is Nimrata. Sounds like a Muslin, doesn't it?

Ok, I'm making fun of those idiots morans who used to say that Obama was a Muslim. But her legal name IS Nimrata.

Nimrata must be trying to copy Trump's behavior.
