Congress is already setting the stage to cut off U.S. funding to the United Nations in the wake of a contested vote last week in which the Obama administration permitted an anti-Israel resolution to win overwhelming approval, according to congressional leaders, who told the Washington Free Beacon that the current administration is already plotting to take further action against the Jewish state before vacating office.
Other punitive actions by Congress could include expelling Palestinian diplomats from U.S. soil and scaling back ties with foreign nations that voted in favor of the controversial measure, according to multiple sources who spoke to the Free Beacon about the situation both on and off the record.

Excellent !!!
The UN Charter needs to be dissolved NOW.
“Moving to” is not doing.
Congress - even now - is not exactly the most trustable, or the most intelligent group of individuals in the multiverse.
Results, let’s see results.
Else the Repubs will once again become butt boys and girls for the sleezebag party.
I’m not sure I understand. Why does Obama get to have the final say? Did he overturn something? How did it get to this point?
I would not lose any sleep if we left the UNworthy.
The UN is useless and irrelevant. Already a dinosaur.

Move the UN to dubai, they can fund the damned thing....
They damned near run it anyways...
Once the realize there will not be free parking they will be really mad.
yes, and don’t chicken out
Uh -- whut?
How "controversial" was this measure if it passed by a 14-0 margin, with one abstention (the U.S.)? Are we going to scale back ties with Great Britain, France and New Zealand?
I'm now firmly convinced that we've been taken in by nothing more than political theater here.
I’m not sure I understand. Why does Obama get to have the final say? Did he overturn something? How did it get to this point?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Our U.N. Ambassador had the power to veto the anti Israel resolution, instead Obama ordered him to abstain.
As soon as he is inaugurated , Trump should see Obama , Clinton , and all their minions , investigated , indicted , prosecuted , tried , convicted and sentenced . No mercy , no quarter .
“...in the wake of a contested vote ...”
But it WASN’T contested! It was a setup!
Amen!
Giant steps against the crime and corruption of two administrations—Obama’s and the United Nations.

True. Both corrupt to the core. And yet, both have had strong support from the Jewish community in the U.S. If I am wrong on this point I humbly apologize. On the other hand, if I’m right, it’s an appalling fact to get one’s head around.
We should get 2/3 to override a veto. Does obummer get a chance to veto this?
I forget how the hell out govt works sometimes.
In any case it will pass in 23 days.
How about a breakdown of all the expenses that our tax dollars are funding.
