U.S. withdrawing from UN Human Rights Council?
June 19, 2018 at 4:22 pm
Quote:The Trump administration plans to announce its withdrawal from the United Nations Human Rights Council on Tuesday, making good on a pledge to leave a body it has long accused of hypocrisy and criticized as biased against Israel, according to two people familiar with the matter.

He's a turd with legs. Still, as the BBC reports:

Quote:Formed in 2006, the council has been criticised for allowing countries with questionable human rights records to be members.
Considering the Orange Piece of Shit's record on Human Rights we should now fit right in.

Good riddance, I guess. Between Guantanamo, allying with Saudi Arabia and Israel, and tearing down recent treaties with Iran and Cuba, it's hard to argue that our government cares much about human rights.

I'm more comfortable on the human wrongs council anyway.

What is the matter with you people? What would you do about North Korea? Not talk to them? That's worked out super well.
