Nikki Haley, US ambassador to the UN, announced the decision on Tuesday evening, saying that the US could no longer be part of a UN body that was a protector of human rights abusers, and a cesspool of political bias.
Look at the council membership and you see an appalling disrespect for human rights, she said, citing member countries China, Venezuela, Russia, Cuba, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Egypt. She went on to speak at length about how the council displayed a chronic anti-Israel bias and was not worthy of its name.

Excellent.
Yeah, it would be hard to live up to that collective record on human rights. Maybe the imperialist U.S. is just not worthy of their company. Time to leave the UN until we're up to their standards.
Trump is tearing it up like a savage. I hope this gets a % of the news cycle, it probably won’t. This should have been done as soon as the first dog squeeze oppressive state was appointed to this thing, come on. Good people know this—that the US withdrawing from this garbage after being in it so long plays as any kind of controversy at all is just an indicator of how far down the cultural slope we really are. Which is horrific when you think about it.

You don’t believe in the Declaration of Independence?
“I hope this gets a % of the news cycle”
It will be trumpeted as proof Trump doesn’t believe in human rights.
You want people to share that? ;)
Yeah, what a coincidence he is busy caging babies in order to eat them when this happens.
Well, maybe we need something to show thinking people just how far down the slope we are.

Good for her,speaking out as she did. And I would agree with the U.S. pulling out of the U.N. and getting them relocated elsewhere. We’ve had enough grief from them.
GREAT news and comments BUMP!
Ooo-RAH!
like
perfect connect with a sky walk way. Let’s roll.
Good move. THis particular council is a “muslim rights only” crowd and we do not participate in it we need to DESTROY for what it stands for
I know your comment was made tongue-in-cheek, but I honestly don’t believe Our President would allow her to leave his administration.
A good first step, but only a small step. Funding for every dictator, tyrant, and other criminal leaders to fill the world stage with lies. All funding should be based on population numbers by country, period. No exceptions.
“Human rights is a made-up, B.S. idea created by Karl Marx. Like the concept of social justice, which was added by Lenin, human rights has no definition and can be used by propagandists any way they please.
People dont have a right to anything except what they earn by working. You arent entitled to free stuff just for being human.”
Excellent and right on target. I don’t care if it is anti Israel, I do care that it is anti USA.
Bout time
Kick all their asses out and set up shop in Yemen. See how they like it there.
I’d really stir up the crap. Put in a trap, skeet, sporting clays, rifle and pistol range.
