#4 Hey UN! Thanks for the list of people to cut off from funding.

#5 I think that just a one third reduction in our $$ to the UN might be a good start.

Unfortunately you could never get NYC to cooperate with some properly timed and positioned road work.

#6 Nice idea. Whenever the UN does some stupid crap like this, any of the countries involved in bringing the vote are subject to a given percentage reduction of US-based funding. Make votes counter to ours have a real and tangible cost.

Same goes for the UN General Assembly - any time they bring and pass a resolution like this, an automatic reduction in UN funding of the General Assembly should take place.

Basically on regular issues, its not a change, but issues directly involving us? There must be a price to pay.

#11 The US should order any and all embassies of those 128 countries to relocate to Alaska. They have 3 months to move. After that their current embassies will be razed to the ground, including any people inside. Oh and PNG every one of their current embassy staff.

#12 Nikki Haley's performance at the UN was simply one of our finest hours. I'm so proud.

And the vote was actually 129-9 if you count the Democratic Party.

#13 Honestly, I'm glad this vote happened. To quote Tim McGraw

This ain't where the road comes to an end
This ain't where the bandwagon stops
This is just one of those times when
A lot of folks jump off

You find out who your friends are

Mrs. Haley is rocking it. F you, F you, you're cool, F you, I'm out.

According to learned experts, it could be because of one or more of the following: Stray gamma rays, Neutrinos and/or Tachyon particles.

I've had something like this happen to me as well and from the comments in the O Club, it happened to others as well. C'est la vie.
