When was the last time we heard something like this from the State Department?

In Washington, the State Department said on Saturday that it “strongly condemns the use of harsh tactics against protesters and journalists” in Russia. The Russian Foreign Ministry countered by claiming that the United States had helped “incite radical elements” to join the unauthorized protests and that American officials were “facing a serious talking-to” by Russian diplomats.

3. What an excellent feeling.

Not so much for Vlad and the billionaires, they've go to be nervous right now. All that stolen money in Western banks, and no one could do anything about it as long as Donald was in power. Yes, very nervous right now.

They sound nervous. Clearly rattled. "Serious talking-to" indeed. Hmm. Well then. Very serious nervous sound to that, I'd say.

Whoops.
