The United States has announced it is withdrawing from the United Nations Human Rights Council.

UN ambassador Nikki Haley made the announcement in a speech on Tuesday, calling the body "an organisation not worthy of its name" and a "cesspool of political bias".
The US has accused the UN Human Rights Council of hypocrisy and "chronic bias" against Israel, and has taken exception to China, Cuba and Venezuela, which have been accused of human rights violations, occupying seats.
Speaking with Ms Haley, secretary of state Mike Pompeo said the UN had "become an exercise in shameless hypocrisy, with some of the world's worst human rights abuses going ignored".
The US itself is not immune to accusations of human rights abuses and the timing of the withdrawal is conspicuous.
On Monday, UN human rights chief Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein weighed in on the policy of separating child migrants from their parents and detaining them at the southern US border.
The timing of it does seem to coincide with the border issues they have had over the last few days. Kids being kept in cages etc. Cant quite get my head around whether the US is isolating itself, undoing decades of hard work, or is going at it alone for the benefit of the country.
The issue with the kids at the border is ****ed up, no matter how you spin it. The hardline Trumpets will defend it or even like the idea but it's wrong.
The easy way to solve that problem is to stop letting illegal immigrants into the country. Maybe they could build a wall. If you tried to fly to America (or any other country) without a passport, you wouldn't even get on the plane. Why should people without passports be allowed to wander across the border?
Obama deported about 3 million illegal immigrants, more than any other president. Mexicans called him the deporter in chief. I don't remember anybody complaining about him doing it.
Obamas c@ntyness is easily forgotten to to many. He was a nice guy
Trumps a c@nt and easily scrutinized
The US has its lowest unemployment rate for 18 years and its a lot to do with Trumps brashness and boosting the US industry . Nobody talks about that. Quite an important turn of events if you ask me. But because Trump done good its ignored
