Months ago, someone published a lit of countries that receive money from Uncle Sugar.
It is simply astounding...

[Bigg Red]

Excellent! MAGA! Go, Trump!

[Bigg Red]

Uh, no.

[fungoking]

Good words...waiting for action.

"shouldn’t expect the American people any longer to “pay for the privilege of being disrespected,”"

Same could be said to the NFL.....

I heard on the radio last night that the U.S. pays the Paliscumians FOUR HUNDRED MILLION of our tax dollars a year. What the heck???? That has to stop. All we are doing is paying for them to buy concrete for murder tunnels into Israel, arms, and lifelong payments to families of suicide bombers. That's a very large and very quick cut to our national expenses.

[Mrs. B.S. Roberts]

“Good words...waiting for action.”

I agree...worth repeating:

“Good words...waiting for action.”

If the UN had any balls, she just crushed them.

[ZULU]

US OUT OF UN, UN OUT OF US. Bleed them dry by cutting off funds and the monstrosity will collapse of its own weight.

[Mollypitcher1]

Don’t think she is eligible!

“Americans don’t want to ‘pay for the privilege of being disrespected’”

Gotta be one of the BEST phrases of the year!!

[BeauBo]

Was the USA looking for an excuse to pull some funding from anti-Americans, or is this just serendipity?

[Socon-Econ]

Her remarks fall short. We should not be paying anything to a nation just because it does not disrepect us. Defund the UN entirely. Abolish all other assistance other than disaster assistance, refugee assistance, and assistance to close military allies. No assistance for socialists.

She betrayed him on the women/sexual harassment issue when she said Trumps accusers ‘DESERVE TO BE HEARD’.

Trump will never trust her.

[elcid1970]

Did Nikki Haley say, “We’re taking names”?

I sure hope so.

[Drew68]

Don’t think she is eligible!

Don’t worry. She’s eligible.

I looked up the numbers for 2015 UN budget. Here's how much the five permanent members of the Security Council paid:

• Russia pays 3% of the UN Budget
• UK pays 4.5% of the UN Budget
• China pays 7.9% of the UN Budget
• France pays 4.9% of the UN Budget
• USA pays 22% of the UN Budget

Clearly we are disproportionately paying for this rogues gallery of villainy and scum. Were I President I would average the amount paid by the other four nations and say "that's all we're paying".

[Kipp]

If I’ve calculated right, in terms of aa country’s GDP, Russia and China are underpaying and the UK and France are paying a higher percent of their GDP than the US is.

U.S. OUT OF U.N.; U.N. OUT OF U.S., NOW!

Send them packing to Paris, Brussels or Beijing.
