I wonder if DOGE is going after the UN?

I hope Elon will get us out of the UN and kick them out of the country. We pay ~25% of their funding. Of 193 member countries only about 40 have paid their full obligations. Many member countries hate us but are willing to take our money. F them.

Again, why are we paying people to hate us when they’ll do it for free?

Well if those other countries want to pay their fair share, there's no problem. But it's becoming increasingly obvious that the US (read: We the People) have been the world's piggybank and that's bullshit. We work our asses off and have our own to take care of. You'd think all these so-called liberals would be in favor of not giving taxpayer dollars to foreign countries, and would want to spend it right here at home on our own.

I thought it was rich that the Eurotrash were all huffy about Vance raking them over the coals for their fascism and begging us for money all the time. "How dare you say we need to provide for our own defense!! How dare you say the rabble shouldn't be arrested when they criticize us!"

Think on this for a moment, how we think of California is how the rest of the world thinks of us.

I don't get it - spell it out.

More like how California's elite think of us is the same as how the UN thinks of the USA.

California thinks that they’re propping up the entire US economy, the US is pretty sure that they are propping up the worlds economy.

California smokes drugs. If they're propping up the US economy why are they always begging for federal bailouts? (That's a rhetorical question directed at California, not you )

Personally it wouldn't be a good thing to give up our veto power.
Charging them higher rent only makes sense as it is NYC.
