So Russia gets 2 seats at the table?

She looks like a Guy Fawkes mask?

The UN Security Council should not allow a former Epstein employee to preside over a meeting.

[–] mrdown@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

It should be abolished. Ton of waste money for that shitshow where countries recide strongly worded letters with no plan to act

[–] mrdown@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

I mean the security concil was always a joke. No wonder this idiot will be in one of those acting meeting

[–] SnarkoPolo@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

Once again, it's a fascist country, run by a family dynasty. This is how it's going to be.

Would love to see how she's actually qualified

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 64 points 2 days ago

She's a genius, got in on an Epstein visa!

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 28 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I imagine you have to be very diplomatic when married to an narcissist toddler in an adult body.

[–] this_1_is_mine@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Imagine straight facing it when he shits himself in front of you.

Another fuck-you to the UN.

[–] BillyClark@piefed.social 44 points 1 day ago

And another fuck you to the American people. Melania was not elected. She was not appointed and confirmed. She's a nobody in the eyes of our government. We Americans have a process for choosing people in our government and it's not supposed to be nepotism.

[–] BenjiRenji@feddit.org 11 points 2 days ago

That's it, no? Trump's committee of building resorts on top of Gaza's pieces should replace the UN and to drive home the point they send the unserious First Lady.

[–] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

Melania: “To make peace you must suck, suck, then fuck, fuck.”

[–] cypherpunks@lemmy.ml 28 points 1 day ago (1 children)

As for the significance of Melania Trump presiding over the Security Council meeting, Dujarric called it “a sign of the importance that the United States feels towards the Security Council and the subject.”

🤔

[–] pulsey@feddit.org 4 points 1 day ago

so not very important?

[–] VeryInterestingTable@jlai.lu 37 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Participating would already be kind of crazy. But did they actually say preside?

When the wife of President Donald Trump takes her seat in the president’s chair on Monday afternoon, it “will be the first time a first lady, or first gentleman for that matter, has ever presided over a Security Council meeting,” U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric told reporters.

And yes, it's absolute lunacy.

[–] BillCheddar@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago

No one voted for Donald's CumDump.

[–] Avicenna@programming.dev 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

the first lady’s office said the meeting she will preside over will “emphasize education’s role in advancing tolerance and world peace.”

Advancing tolerance and world peace also goes hand to hand with getting rid of Trump and MAGA

[–] atzanteol@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

Sounds "woke".

I doubt the message will be that positive.

"I don't care, do you?"

That's where the UN are supposed to say "No."

[–] Tempus_Fugit@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago

Lol, not saying a whore can't be qualified, but this whore? Lmao.

Maybe Donald has decided he can't really trust Don Jr. and wants Melania to run in 2028. That way he can stay in the White House.

I have always said America is too sexist right now to elect a woman as President but maybe an exception can be made for a woman who would be so obviously taking orders from her husband.

[–] paranoia@feddit.dk 25 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You need to be a natural born US citizen.

[–] dhork@lemmy.world 28 points 2 days ago

We're about to see Trump issue an executive order proclaiming her to be natural-born citizen, and enough Republican states to say "Yup, that's good enough for us! After all, we already had one President from Kenya...."

What the fuck

[–] Dagnet@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Didn't he send his daughter during his first mandate? Not sure if this is an improvement though

[–] cypherpunks@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Ivanka Trump attended the UNGA and had meetings there but did not preside over it.

[–] Dagnet@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Ah I see, getting worse over time then

[–] kokesh@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That dumb bitch can't even speak english...

[–] finalarbiter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

There are so many legitimate reasons to hate her without making shit up or being xenophobic.
