Except it won’t happen. Go after withdrawing funding. Go after using US troops.

When controlling the House, the key to winning is defund, defiund, defund. My full agreement .... when are republicans going to use the power of the purse?

This is so important. I hope we can stiffen spines in the House & get this passed. FWIW I wrote Leonard Lance. A flurry of emails & calls couldn’t hurt.

Half the Republicans in Congress wouldn’t think of voting to get out.

They would fear being blamed every time a muzz blew somebody up somewhere in the world.

I don’t think they will even cut funding, not in the Congress. They’ll fake it for a while, as they are with Obamacare, nibble at the edges, call it good and hurry on.

I've been saying this since 1955 and today I contacted my congress critters and let them know that we need their votes, Tim Murphy, and Senators Toomey and Casey.

demonRAT Casey is up for re-election in 2018 and I will be on his ass and watching his every vote {and letting his office know}.

Dr. Peter Venkman: This city is headed for a disaster of biblical proportions.
Mayor: What do you mean, "biblical"?
Dr. Raymond Stantz: What he means is Old Testament, Mr. Mayor, real wrath of God type stuff.
Dr. Peter Venkman: Exactly.
Dr. Raymond Stantz: Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling!
Dr. Egon Spengler: Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes...
Winston Zeddemore: The dead rising from the grave!
Dr. Peter Venkman: Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!
Mayor: All right, all right! I get the point!

Great things are ahead of us.

I'm pretty sure people said that about the American colonialists fighting against the most powerful empire in the world, Britain.

Those colonialists would have never won without the help of other nations....specifically France and Germany.

I think we should remain in the UN, but subvert its ability to function by vetoing everything and making clear that its resolutions hold no sway over us, nor have the force of “international law”. Make clear that any nation that tries to invoke the UN against our interests will face our strong disfavor. Trump doesn’t need Congress for any of those things.

Congress could do its part by cutting off all funding, but I’m not holding my breath for that.

How do we stay in the UN if Congress cuts off all our funding to it?

The UN will still have enough money to function without ours thrown in. Apart from that, I don’t think the UN has a membership fee.

It does, though it can waive it. But going back to the original question, why would we stay if we cut off our funding to it?
