Tyrants and dictators, shady international arms dealers, brutal leaders of broken, basket case nations like President for Life Robert Mugabe, will be celebrating today; President Obama just transferred $500 million of US Taxpayer’s money into the new UN Climate Fund.

According to The Guardian;

Obama administration pays out $500m to climate change project

The first chunk of a $3bn commitment made at the Paris climate talks ‘shows the US stands squarely behind climate commitments’, the State Department said

The Obama administration has made a first installment on its $3bn pledge to help poor countries fight climate change – defying Republican opposition to the president’s environmental plan.

The $500m payment to the Green Climate Fund was seen as critical to shoring up international confidence in Barack Obama’s ability to deliver on the pledges made at the United Nations’ climate change conference in Paris in late 2015.

Asked by Senator Cory Gardner if Congress approved the US State Department to divert $500 million to the United Nation’s Green Climate Fund, Deputy Secretary Heather Higgenbottom says: “Did Congress authorize the Green Climate Fund? No. […] We’ve reviewed the authority and the process under which we can do it, and our lawyers and we have determined that we have the ability to do it..

Translation: "We don't need no steenkin' "Congress." "Sue us"

Where is our toothless Republican House, whose duty it is to be in charge of expenditures of the public purse? They can yammer about the national debt but don’t say squat when this tyrant hands out our cash to our enemies.

Easy to piss away someone else’s money. Besides, he’s giving our money away so he can be named as head weenie of the UN after his term as pResident.

"Where is our toothless Republican House,...?"

Option 1: Cowering in a corner, praying someone doesn't call them racist.

Option 2: Call their lobbyist buddies, telling them where to line up to get their share.

Paul Ryan is too busy ya know, flying around on private jets, hanging out with his pals on secret islands. He can’t be bothered with this right now.

They all belong in prison.

President Obama just gave $500 million of Your Money to the UN Green Fund

Who controls the money? The House. Who controls the House? Republicans. (Who controls all of Congress? Republicans.)

So it should read, Republicans just gave $500 million of Your Money to the UN Green Fund

I might add, what Washington Insider Political Class Oligarch called a news conference, went on every talk show, and, though individually not possessing the power to stop this, SPOKE DIRECTLY to the PEOPLE about this? That's what REAGAN did---he went AROUND the Washington Insiders and AROUND the MSM media and presented the case to the public.

If Ted Cruz would immediately return to Washington, take the floor of Congress, or call a press conference (wouldn't be hard for him to get a rep from every media outlet) and take this TO THE PEOPLE. Encourage the people to protest, start petitions, call their congressman, call the White House---raise hell to the point that this will hurt HILLARY. TIE IT TO HILLARY....

But Cruz is a Washington Political Class Insider, and NOT ONE OF THEM is going to murmur a peep about this. They, especially phonies like Cruz, don't WANT to hurt Hillary, certainly not by tying her to Obama, which would crush her candidacy.

The Senate almost gave them a harrumph when Higginbottom said it’s legal.

I guess Obie had to pay $3 billion to be named secretary general of the UN. I guess he doesn’t think that’s a lot since it’s not his money. Can’t wait for this nightmare to be over.

Only congress can authorize expenditures on the part of all three branches of government.

Of course they can all be bought off for a pittance.

In private industry Higgenbottom would be arrested and jailed for embezzlement. In State Department speak, she’s rewarded for embezzlement because she works for the government.
