I wonder if the UN will find a new HQ because of the Trump regime

[mikeymikec]

I wonder who would regard the US as a safe place to visit right now, with them locking up British and German tourists, as well as Trump treating every traditional ally as an enemy and vice versa.

We have risen to the level of...

Baghdad, and Pyongyang.

Yeah, I wouldn't want to visit the country these days. I mean, to be honest, immigration can be really scary in every country - I know many people have had unpleasant experiences entering the UK.

But right now I'd be nervous as hell entering the US, even as a citizen of an 'ally'.

The American far right has never liked the UN headquarters being in New York. The UN leaving would achieve a long term goal for the far right. Siting the UN in the US was one driver for dismantling Jim Crow. It was deeply embarrassing to the US to have foreigners witness our shameful racism firsthand.

It's so bad, that my company would not longer allow us to bring our company laptops on travel overseas due to countries claiming they can look at everything. This was 10 years ago. Welcome to the modern world.

Fist in the air in the land of hypocrisy!

Fist in the air in the land of hypocrisy!

The hypocrisy committed by the Republicans has everything to do with the oligarchs who own and operate that party of theirs exclusively serving their own interests while having to lie their asses off to their working class suckers that the party is there for them when all they're doing is ripping them off. It's amazing how their rank and file party members allow their billionaires to play them for fools so easily. All their demagogue party cadre had to do was turn their subjects into fear mongering racists who will not trust anything and anyone except what comes out of FOX and their right wing pundits and influencers.

I swear every time I force myself to see what's going in these mind fucking operations it's like they all take this oath I've seen online. It goes something like:

"Do you solemnly swear to tell the lie, the whole lie and nothing but the lie so help you Trump?"
