It's major headlines that he didn't shout "all for one and one for all" during his speech. One can only take away from that that the entire world is saying "please say you'll protect us Mr. Trump, won't you...huh?". Say what you will about Trump, but every picture, every video with the NATO group was of Trump and everyone else around him. Was "Justin from Canada" even there? P.S - I hate to play in to BC' M.O, but that's the truth. Of course the media follows the actions of a powerful world figure; why would they not? Seems Angela Merkel is advising that the world cease relying on US participation in world affairs, while still maintaining friendly relations as much as possible. Soon enough, if he remains president, he'll be essentially sidelined. Tolerated and humored perhaps, but neither respected nor listened to.

Yeah, what I saw was Trump walking and having people on either side of him constantly watching him..."who is he gonna talk to", "when will he stop walking", he controlled the stops, the chatting, and even the cadence at which they walked. It was like watching that old cartoon with spike and that little dog. Sorry, You can listen to the bias interpretations from Maddow and her group, but pictures speak 1000 words - and those pictures spoke loudly.

He love medals. He love de praise. We give him shiny gold medal and lots of praise." "But de orange man, he say we are de barbarian and de savage who treat de women like slave and trow de gay man off de roof. What we do about dat?" "We give money to his Jew whore daughter.

Surely you have seen the video of him pushing aside the newly elected PM of Montenegro so he can get his goofy hairdo and his painted face as close to front and center as he could. What an A**hole.

kimmy Posted May 28, 2017 Report Share Posted May 28, 2017 Has anybody from the UN ever actually made an attempt to address the sheer idiocy of Saudi Arabia being on the women's rights commission? As far as I can tell this appears to be a complete and total disgrace to the entire UN. -k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Them getting paid is your problem, not theirs. I hope I don't get my knuckles rapped for going off topic but I though you might get a laugh out of this. I was kicking horse turds down the main street of Gravenhurst Ontario wondering how I might get my $160 back when I came upon a law office with a sign in the window saying "Legal Aid". I though, hmm, I'm going in there and get me some of that. The secretary was about to punt me but Mr. John Cruickshank strolled out of his office and came to my rescue. He invited me to his office, I told him my story, and he went to his file cabinet and gave me a form to fill out "Masters and Servants Act" all legal sized too. I filled it out while he made a phone call. He read it over, witnessed it and said he would submit it to the courts, and that I could be called to court to verify my claim under oath. Off I went. Fast forward a week or so, the phone rings at home, my mother picks it up "Yes, yes he is, one moment", and she hands me the phone. "Yes, OK, thank you" and I hang up the phone, with a bit of a sparkle in my eye. My mother asks who was that?, I simply replied oh that was just my lawyer advising me I need to appear in court next Wednesday at 10 am, and I nonchalantly strolled into the kitchen. Keep in mind I'm 14 at the time. Next thing I hear is an old phrase probably a lot of us have heard, something to the tune of "wait a minute mister". I told her the story and she relaxed a little to hear I wasn't up on a felony charge. I never got my $160 back but I spent the rest of the summer building a dock for Irving Ungerman so all in all it was a good summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argus Posted May 28, 2017 Report Share Posted May 28, 2017 2 hours ago, Hal 9000 said: Well, maybe you have an opinion on why 47 UN countries voted to install SA on the women's rights commission. You've been railing on the hypocrisy of SA giving money for women entrepreneurs, so you must have a pretty solid explanation for your disparity in beliefs. The UN is a reflection of its member nations. Most of its member nations are undemocratic and thoroughly corrupt. There are 57 members of the Organization of the Islamic Conference, which is about one third of the UN. Another third are dirt-poor corrupt third world countries whose votes are for sale. The UN, in other words, is as dirty and corrupt as planet earth. Its human rights panel is filled with human rights abusers. It cannot be taken as an honest broker in anything.

Regardless of what you suppose, and as I have stated many times before, Trump matters more to the world than Merkel or Trudeau. Hell, even Merkel matters much more than Trudeau.
