Well at this point I should doubt whether or not Trump should be on any board, much less one that decides human rights.

Some important details (from my other topic which I'll close):
--their tenure was set to end next year, so this is more of a statement than a meaningful action
--Israel is the only nation in the world that is discussed at literally every council meeting. The agenda has a dedicated item (Item 7) to specifically discuss Israel.
--The US specifically said it wouldn't be on a human rights council that also includes Saudi Arabia
--The US actually turned down a seat when it was formed, only joining in 2009

Because nobody takes them seriously. The UN is just a bunch of angry globalists who realize that The United States is going the other direction, and our cooperation was vital. Without us, theyre nothing.

It's mostly to do with Israel. The US told the council that if they didn't remove Item 7 from the agenda and deal with the fact that something like 40% of all resolutions were against Israel that they would withdrawal.

Reading comprehension hard for you? They're obviously pointing out at the council is a farce with Saudi Arabia in it. No one is saying that is the reason the US is leaving.

That's laughable if you really think that. Holding kids brought over illegally for a few days before processing them through the legal system and sending them back isn't anywhere close to equivalent to female genital mutilation, licenses that require your religion on them, separate laws depending on whether you're a man or a woman, separate laws depending on whether you're a muslim or a jew, athiests being given 10 years in jail and 10,000 lashes for blogging, etc. Do you really not understand how bad Saudi Arabia is?

- Havent more than some been held for over a month by now?

isn't anywhere close to equivalent to female genital mutilation

Make genital mutilation is legal and largely practiced in America. Sure its not as bad as female mutilation, but mutilation is mutilation

,licenses that require your religion on them, separate laws depending on whether you're a man or a woman, separate laws depending on whether you're a muslim or a jew, athiests being given 10 years in jail and 10,000 lashes for blogging, etc. Do you really not understand how bad Saudi Arabia is?


So sorry, a few steps not a couple lmao

Trump shit-lickers who blast the UNHRC for its hypocrisy over Saudi Arabia's disgusting human rights record should at least have the balls to whisper a word of criticism against their orange god for his pushing of multi-billion dollar arms deals with the regime in Riyadh. Unless they're spineless, gutless hypocrites themselves, of course.
