Don't know if it's true, but there's a story around that the lot the UN building stands on was once a feed lot for hogs.

Time to back the trucks up to the doors and let loose some feral hogs?

I wonder what color contrasts well with baby blue...I need some new sight paint.

We should have dropped the U.N. years ago, we need them like cancer.

As an organization that was (and may still be) primarily funded by the US, I feel we should be within our rights to just disband the damn thing.

Said it before and I'll say it again...

Trump should buy the UN and turn it into a casino.

This might be straying away from 2A politics to more generalized politics...

Well, the red dot / circle of the EoTech reticle contrasts nicely.

You are not mistaken.

The US Supreme Court settled this in Reid v. Covert, 354 U.S. 1 (1957):

Quote:

''There is nothing in this language which intimates that treaties do not have to comply with the provisions of the Constitution. Nor is there anything in the debates which accompanied the drafting and ratification of the Constitution which even suggests such a result. These debates as well as the history that surrounds the adoption of the treaty provision in Article VI make it clear that the reason treaties were not limited to those made in 'pursuance' of the Constitution was so that agreements made by the United States under the Articles of Confederation, including the important treaties which concluded the Revolutionary War, would remain in effect. It would be manifestly contrary to the objectives of those who created the Constitution, as well as those who were responsible for the Bill of Rights--let alone alien to our entire constitutional history and tradition--to construe Article VI as permitting the United States to exercise power under an international agreement without observing constitutional prohibitions. In effect, such construction would permit amendment of that document in a manner not sanctioned by Article V.''
