#1 It's well past time to defend that cesspool.

#3 While Jeff Sessions does absolutely nothing to bring Hillary Clinton (and even Obama, but we'll settle for Clinton...for now) to justice, here is more blah-blah-blah from the administration. True enough, the UN is a joke, but the empty words get tiresome.

#4 Defund? I want a Refund!

#5 Take Trump seriously not literally.

I fully expect, now, that he will follow through on this just not quite as fast as we may like.

E.G. the tax cut got done. UN funding has been trimmed but given the obstructionism of the "Never Trump" contingent it will all take some time.

#6 Rome wasn't built in a day and the UN won't be deconstructed in one either. It will die a slow, thousand cut death.

#7 Send in the forensic accountants and expose just how deep the corruption has spread through the UN. Then slash our contributions by that amount. Every time that we threaten to do this the screams rise to the sky.

#8 When Lil Marco hired the known dirty tricks smearers at Fusion GPS, I stopped caring about anything turtle boy says.

Here I think he's just jumping on the bandwagon.

#9 Rome wasn't built in a Day but the League of Nations disappeared about that quickly.

#10 Eliminate diplomatic immunity for the representatives to the UN. They aren't accredited to the US government. It's like giving diplomatic immunity to representatives to any trade group or industry regulatory body. That would shake up the group quickly but technically not hinder their deliberations. And think of the parking ticket revenues
