No kidding. I said it before, but this could get the USSS disbanded.
Especially if the investigation turns up the usual dirt a federal agency has, their obsolete stuff...

TRUMP CRITICIZES SANTORUM OVER TASA
Earlier this week, former presidential candidate and businessman Donald Trump has called the recent TASA bill passed by the Santorum administration 'the worst thing our nation ever agreed on.' He then went on to quote the late Senator Barry Goldwater saying 'America had no problem with the gays, even Goldwater knew that we've lived with them since Greece and Rome'. He concluded the interview by announcing his support for the Heartland Party and the Democratic nominee, Bud Cramer. 'Bud is a great guy and I'm glad that me and Romney can see eye to eye on this one.'

IOTL, Trump supported gays serving in the military and universal heathcare before he went full maniac.
The Prez, released on May 1, 2008, is a Canadian political satire film written and directed by Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer, starring Ben Stiller as Harold "Hal" McNulty, a parody of Rick Santorum.
As a child in 1960s Pittsburgh, McNulty is sexually abused by his father, uncle, and a Catholic priest. As an adult, he is elected Governor of Pennsylvania and then Vice President, eventually becoming President after the previous president (portrayed by Friedberg himself) dies in an accident involving erotic asphyxiation. After becoming president, McNulty pursues a hardcore social conservative agenda, outlawing abortion, homosexuality, and pornography, while privately engaging in homosexual acts with his nephew Jerry (portrayed by Robert Pattinson) and soliciting the services of transsexual prostitutes.
One day, an intrepid photographer (portrayed by Seth Rogen) catches McNulty in the act with Jerry. Despite the efforts of the Secret Service, the photographs leak onto the Internet and McNulty's secret double life is exposed. An angry mob quickly descends on the White House. The film ends with McNulty committing suicide by gunshot just as the mob breaches into the Oval Office.
The film received a mixed commercial reception, with critics praising its political themes while criticizing the over-reliance on crude humor.

Yes, I am very late... Sorry, the classes just ended.
Also, LF's habit of taking one/two weeks between updates is really annoying

Just be glad he's updating at all.
Anyway, we can probably all assume that this movie is immediately blacklisted by Frothy, right?

US LEAVES UNITED NATIONS
Reuters, May 9, 2008
In a stunning move, US President Rick Santorum has announced the USA's departure from the United Nations and given the organization 30 days to leave its HQ in New York City.
Yesterday, the General Assembly had passed a resolution condemning the mass imprisonment of LGBT individuals under TASA. In response, Santorum declared that the United Nations "no longer acts in accordance with our interests". Already, the General Assembly and Security Council have begun transferring operations to Geneva, Switzerland.

Congrats, Frothy, on turning the US into the world's biggest rogue state.

Well...Hey Lost Freeway do an update on South Korea real quick if you're reading this!
Ninja Edit: Apparently a plane crash that didn't happen OTL.
In all fairness, I actually support this move - but for reasons unrelated to why Santorum pulled out. Convergent evolution, lol

Is it for funding reasons and the oft anti-US attitude of the UN?
I do agree it is a hard thing to decide upon myself as an impartial observer. On the one hand, America has drifted from it's own prior ambitions and attitude under Trump. But I do feel that whomever the next president is, be they Pence or a Democrat will likely be slightly more UN friendly.
Irrespective I do feel the UN should try to diversify whom it bills, if nothing else to secure its own impartiality if the US does every seem truly opposed to the UN and vice versa rather than the current "tension".
Even our North Korean friends think this is utter madness.
Wait. Which one?
Oh yeah. There was that... ._.
