No worse than USA being in charge of the racism forum.

"USA being in charge of the racism forum."

Was that one of Nikki Haley's bona fides?

The ridiculous nonsense the Q morons come up with about the UN is like making ---- up about Trump.

There's enough nonsense to make them look bad, so what's the point?

1. Democracy Now! is about as legitimate a news source as is OAN.

2. The UN isn't stupid. SA seems to be attempting to ditch the Islamist mantle and appeal more to the west. They're even trying to promote tourism.

Maybe someday I'll even be able to have a cocktail in Mecca.

They don't believe in women's rights.

"Democracy Now! is about as legitimate a news source as is OAN."

That's absolute nonsense.

If you really believe that, and I'm sure you do, it shows us that you do not have the ability to discern fact from fiction.

Letting these women oppressor serve in this position is a huge insult to women around the world. Disgusting!

Money talks, human rights walks.

As a politically moderate and firmly feminist woman... I don't see the problem. Really, it's easy to point the finger and go on and on about them. It takes some ov's to face them toe to toe in their own land. See what we can actually accomplish.

Oh ---- off.
