NPR interviewed a former CIA spook who spent his career in Russia. He said that the majority of the staff is Russian and the State Department would cut back on the Russian staff and wouldn't even touch the American staff. He also noted that he always assumed that every Russian staff member was reporting back to the Russian government. So in a way, the Russians are losing a significant chunk of their visibility into US operations. What will hurt the US is the ability to operate efficiently with the remaining smaller staff.

if you listed to the talking heads, those comments pissed off the State Dept.
You have to think that our own spies have, or can obtain, plenty of dirt on our fearless leader.

This is why I reserved a spot in @mykel basement during the run up to the election.
Sorry, I was out scouting Bug-Out locations (camping) whilst the world took a hard right to crazy-town. If we survive this slow motion train wreck, the office of president has a long way to get back to any semblance of respectability. Seriously - a public nuke dick waving contest? :disgust1:

"Part of the problem ... is nobody wants to hurt each other anymore."

"I'll beat the crap out of you,"

"Try not to hurt him. If you do, I'll defend you in court, don't worry about it."

"I'd like to punch him in the face."

"Knock the crap out of them."

"Maybe he should have been roughed up."

It is so awesome that the leader of our country is questioning the lack of outrage over a problem instead of trying to fix it.
The quote I saw yesterday (wish I could remember who to attribute it to):

"If only Donald Trump could summon as much rage for white supremacists as he did Nordstrom when they dropped his daughter's line of handbags."

Intel CEO joins others in ditching Trump council

“I resigned to call attention to the serious harm our divided political climate is causing to critical issues, including the serious need to address the decline of American manufacturing,” Krzanich said. “Politics and political agendas have sidelined the important mission of rebuilding America’s manufacturing base.”
