Trump gets slapped down
After making his outrageously worthless threat against the sovereign states of the United Nations. Embracing the alien notion that other nations do not threaten them for doing their own thing, more than 120 nations voted to condemn the Tangerine Shitgibbon's plan to recognize Jerusalem as the capitol of Israel.
President Donald Trump vowed to cut aid to countries that voted Thursday at the United Nations against the U.S. decision to move its Israeli embassy to Jerusalem. U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley echoed that sentiment, claiming the United States would remember this vote.So one of his Republican stooges jumps to the fore with insupportable legislation for Der Trumpenfuehrer. And all for a political position in support of a group of raving loonies seeking the end of the world.
The rhetoric didn’t stop more than 120 countries from voting against the United States, including allies like the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and South Korea. Thirty-five nations abstained including Australia, Canada and Mexico. Just seven other nations voted with the U.S. and Israel.
Now a North Carolina Republican representative is promising legislation to stop foreign aid to countries that consistently vote against the United States.
“Once again, many of our ‘friends’ at the U.N. are voting against the United States and Israel. We should look closely at holding these countries accountable with respect to the significant U.S. foreign aid they receive,” said Rep. Robert Pittenger of Charlotte. “Jerusalem has been Israel’s capital since the time of King David. Israel’s legislature and courts are in Jerusalem. Why should we continue to pretend otherwise?”
Asked what the criteria for denying aid would be, Pittenger said: “We are looking for a pattern. This vote should be a factor of consideration.”
