It wasn’t meant to get some laughs, but it was certainly destined to get a giggle or two.
Dammit. That should be know, not now.
It’s the first time I’ve ever heard of laughing at someone’s honesty, but that’s what Nikki claims they were doing.
I could only barely stomach watching the 1-minute clip of him being laughed at, but from browsing the transcript I gather that Trump stood in front of world leaders and diplomats at the United Nations General Assembly in New York City and delivered a campaign stump speech to his red-state base.
That’s all he ever does, and it’s worked so far.
Frim a earlier post somewhere, I understand FOX didn’t give his UN appearance top billing. It came after a story about an alligator or something?? Dang. I guess that whole trip was a waste of time.
This will only harden the resolve of the hard right’s mission to sever ties between the US and UN. We’ll probably just stop funding it, which is probably fine with so many of the world’s autocratic countries. Problem is, that will remove what has functioned as a forum to negotiate international conflict. No, it can’t prevent conflict or war, but it has been a body that has expedited transitions to peace and has served to avert conflict in some instances. The idea of the UN spawned other agencies, such as the IAEA. We’re perilously close to moving back to a time when global politics and economics were defined more by competition than cooperation. That’s how WWIII starts.
Honestly, I doubt he even thought about it for a second.
That’s because in Fox News world (inclusive to millions of people in this country), the UN shouldn’t exist. And it probably won’t for much longer.
The UN applause following the laughter was sort of a way of them saying, “Oh, don’t worry, it’s ok, you hilariously ingrown wad of radioactive goo.”
I think it’s finally time we disband the UN. We can then create another UN. This time we’ll do it right!
Yeah, it won’t have any of those countries whose governments dare do what they believe to be in the best interests of they and their allies! How dare they!
Doesn’t this violate the emoluments clause?
Oh, those staffers!
With blackjack and hookers.
Goody. They can carry elephant guns in their golf bags along with clubs. Or just beat the animals to death–where it doesn’t show, of course, don’t want to damage the trophy. Grrrr. :mad:

You are still talking about things these ratfucking shitheads consider a “pro” rather than a “con.”
hmmm,
(https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/408447-federal-judge-asks-whether-trumps-america-first-agenda-is-being)"]… federal judge (Edward Chen) … pressed a Justice Department attorney, Adam Kirschner, about whether the president’s slogan phrase (i.e., MAGA) was being used to camouflage immigration policies some perceive to be discriminatory … (and) referred to Trump’s alleged past references to countries like Haiti, El Salvador and African nations as “shithole countries.”
… In response, Kirschner pointed out that the policy in question came from (DHS deputy Elaine) Duke and John Kelly, the former DHS secretary and current White House chief of staff, who have not been accused racial discrimination.
goddam activist judges

Hey, that fits right in with that embarrassment occupying the White House using anti-Semitic rhetoric in his [del]screed[/del] “speech”.
Not disagreeing with you, but what anti-Semitic comments did he make?

Yep. Totally guilty. There is no other reason a person would say those things.
An innocent person would insist that they are factually innocent. Kavanaugh bargains. He tries to argue that he is still a “good person,” and makes excuses. This is not what an innocent person does.
Hell yes, he is guilty.

What a sad embarrassment to us all.
I didn’t vote for him, I never supported him. Growing up and having lived in NYC I knew all along he was a no god goat felching shitbird.
So, I am not embarrassed by him. I had nothing to do with him getting in.
Let his fans and his base be embarrassed.
