As Twitchy told you, the U.N. General Assembly flexed its rippling muscles today, voting overwhelmingly to condemn the U.S.’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
But because the U.N. really has no authority over us, they need all the P.R. help they can get when it comes to selling their condemnation as powerful and meaningful. Enter the New York Times:
Breaking News: In a stinging rebuke, the UN General Assembly condemned the U.S. decree on Jerusalem. The vote was 128 to 9, with 35 abstentions. https://t.co/Zx2SPpWNZ6

If the rebuked do not feel stung, can it properly be called a "stinging rebuke"? https://t.co/0UpneX8WeQ

Fair question.
Stinging? Hardly. Expected? Absolutely. The condemnation means nothing. Zero. Nada. Our money, on the other hand, means much.

Jerusalem is Israel's capital, nonnegotiable. Whether Palestinians get a say over East Jerusalem or not is a matter for negotiation. https://t.co/C6Y70LOgz2

There was only one stinging rebuke today, and it wasn’t the U.N.’s:
