1. Russia voted against Trump?

America has lost all, let me repeat, ALL authority and respect in the world.

The GOP loves that and the deplorables love that because they see foreigners as icky and weird and they say weird words and stuff.

3. Yep as did the U.K. and France. Canada and Mexico abstained.

Oh!

5. They eat weird icky food also. 😫 (Dumasses.)

8. Putin' plan to destroy the US is proceeding as scheduled.

4. As much as I want countries to continue to get US support

I hope they lose it - and the world turns on Trump the way they should. What right do we have to be a major player on the world stage when we act like a 2-bit pimp?

6. When was the last time the UK, France, and Germany voted against the US on anything??

Has it ever happened before? If not, this is a watershed moment in US international relations, and not for the better.

13. It has happened dozens of times

The link shows dozens of times, in every administration since 1972, where the U.S. was the lone vote vetoing a resolution.

9. I love the countries that voted against...lol

The US is in with some serious odd countries company.

10. Will Trump remember the support from Guatemala and Honduras..

...and extend the TPS?

11. Something tells me NH doesn't really need to report back to Trump on this one. nt.

12. I smell a ruse...

I'm betting tRump and the GOP CONgress will use this to justify defunding the US portion of UN support. Many Repugs hate the UN (or any form of citizen unity) and have wanted to pull UN funding for years.

tRump's Jerusalem declaration may well have simple been a plant to begin that process.

14. What happens now? nt

16. Nothing, the vote is symbolic.

It's just another international condemnation of Trump, but I could wallpaper my house with those already

The UN General Assembly has no power, it's just a forum for discussion

15. The world hates trump as much as most of America hates trump

[jambo101]

17. as a consequence

The world hates America a little more.
