Senator Charles Schumer is warning that the aging U.N. headquarters is a "death trap" waiting to happen.
Hey, the UN has been a death trap since the mid-1940s!

I think the UN needs to move into whole new building... on some other continent.

I wonder who would be called upon to pay the bill for these "renovations".

Didn't 'The Donald' (Trump) say he could do this under budget (a fraction of the estimated cost) and on time, if only they (whoever they is) would LET the contract to him.

Hey Kofi, use some of your Oil for Food money to spackle the press room dude!
Or, abolish the UN Con-mission on Human Rights, that org. is probably among the most worthless (it's a tough call between that and any others). That should cover new carpets, drapes, etc.
Or better yet, MOVE THE HELL OUT OF MY COUNTRY TO A COUNTRY THAT YOU DON'T HATE. Should be plenty out there that would give you a deal on new digs. (Tip to prospective countries - don't sign any long term leases with the Kofi or the UN).

He just wants the name the new building after him, since he'll claim credit was wasting US tax dollars on it,
employing the NYC trades and giving business to all the mafia controlled construction firms.
To: jdm
schumer,that's not good enough!
koffi and the u.n. must be protected.
Iran would be the perfect spot for a new U.N. Headquarters.

I'm not an envirnomentalist, but I couldn't do that to the East River. And NYC Harbor has enough rotting bodies in it.
I think the 911 Memorial should be built on the leveled, former property of the UN. Terrorism is exactly the kind of thing the UN was formed to prevent, and has instead turned into a multi-billion dollar business.
We should rebuild the Trade Towers exactly where they were before, except higher and topped with extended middle fingers.
