Is the UN failing citizens as well? Why was she even allowed to preside?

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 24 points 6 days ago

Because a country can assign whoever they want to be their representative, even if it makes a farce of the whole thing.

To have the peace you must suck, suck, then you fuck, fuck and you get bukkake-peace. All over me face.

Trump is trying to undermine the UN because he wants to replace it with the “Board of peace” or genocide cover up committee

I think they're doing a reality TV series next, because this is what we deserve.

[–] DokiDokiCT@lemmy.world 9 points 5 days ago

Truly the most qualified of all potential candidates. This is an absolute joke.

Why is an unelected person whose only claim to fame is being a baby chute for a pedophile representing us at the UN?

[–] OrteilGenou@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

I didn't think she had any kids

[–] 4grams@awful.systems 9 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Honestly, I see the news, but no one has said yet just how and why the fuck the first lady presided over the fucking UN Security Council?

WTF? Why was this even a thing? The fuck is wrong with the UN?

Honestly, this is the moment where it feels hopeless. If this fucking asshole can put his hooker wife in front of the world, and the world capitulates... There's no one coming to help us, the epstien class has won, they have all the power and are rubbing our noses in it.

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

The US is a permanent member of the security council and can choose their delegation.

[–] 4grams@awful.systems 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

It doesn't make it any less insane. they are just rolling over to this madman.

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 1 points 5 days ago

Not really anything different than before. Members take turns chairing meetings and as a permanent member the US has final say on everything.

[–] 100_kg_90_de_belin@feddit.it 2 points 5 days ago

The thing is that it's so out of the left field that you either call off the whole thing because of "conflicting schedules" to save face or you're left scrambling

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 12 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Can we please appoint literally any other hooker on earth?

[–] PedroMaldonado@lemmy.world 13 points 6 days ago

Goddammit. These jackasses have made our country a fucking joke. Only, the joke on us

[–] Avicenna@programming.dev 4 points 6 days ago

Someone watched house of cards and got a bit carried away I see

In Rome, Caligula made his horse a senator. In America, this happened.

[–] Asidonhopo@lemmy.world 14 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Scholars argue this didnt happen and was written as comedic insult by one of his detractors.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Scholars argue a lot of things. Though it's true that a lot of the work of Roman historians is really one faction slandering another. But the behavior of some of the emperors was so grotesquely evil that it's hard to separate the truth from the lies.

[–] hector@lemmy.today 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Both the greeks and romans and their forebearers all practiced just obvious bias in their writing. About a rival they might describe him as the most famous pederast of the land.

[–] IratePirate@feddit.org 2 points 5 days ago

About a rival they might describe him as the most famous pederast of the land.

We've advanced so much since then! We've put a pedophile in power, yet allow him to bury the evidence so nobody calls him that.
