I would like to offer my sincere apologies to the world for the raving lunatic's rant at the United Nations today. Despite my goal of never quoting George W. Bush, I am reminded of what he said after the felon's 2017 inaugural address: "That was some weird shit." Both speeches were authored by a tapeworm named Stephen Miller.
While I recognize the UN is far from perfect, I would hope they would unite to help America deliver the mad man to a forensic psychiatric cell in either a state of federal prison system.
Sincerely,
H2O Man

Americans have known for a loooong time. Just not enough of us to stop this. And we're hoping for forgiveness (if the insane pos doesn't destroy the world first.) 🙏

(41,944 posts)even if we're not signatories, the ICC could still issue an arrest warrant, as it did with Vladimir Putin, whose country isn't a signatory, either. A UN referral to the ICC would get him even closer to other bad stuff besides a psychiatric cell.

(38,720 posts)Correct me if I'm wrong, however ....
I believe the UN interpreters are given advance copies of speeches - any speech, not just Chump's - so they can give a proper interpretation without errors or hesitations. If that's the case, most UN representatives heard the actual speech, not Chump's crazy off-the-cuff ramblings.
It was just the native English-speakers who didn't need interpreters ... they're the ones who heard Chump's ravings because of the broken machine.

(525 posts)any and all attendees from all the various nations are fully fluent in English. Translators are probably only used when the speaker is speaking in his/her native tongue which is not that well known. And chances are, all speakers are quite fluent at speaking in English. Its really just Americans who are incapable of learning another language. Practically everyone under the age of 30 outside the US are trilingual.

(12,135 posts)I dont know a single white British person who speaks a second language, unless they have family members who do. Not one. The only exceptions to this are three academics who work on Latin America and Germany. Even my academic colleagues are profoundly monolingual.

World peace by just tossing Trump into a live volcano. Of course, once dead, hed be ineligible for any Nobel.
