Somebody needs to grab Bammy’s $tash.
That is all well and good as long as it comes out of his bank account and not mine.
Enough already....
Translation: He wants to be UN Secretary General.
I’d much prefer we pay our military appropriately. They do much more than the UN to make the world a better and safer place.

Just say no.
Should be a slam-dunk for Bonehead, but then again.
the bastard is going to spend every dime the U.S. has before he is gone, which will come none too soon.
Hey, our credit with China is still good!
Why not borrow more money and give it to UN for a good cause?
We don’t have to pay the debt back!!

No

Cut what we send to the U.N. No more money for our enemies (including O).
