NEW YORK TIMES JULY 30, 2017

MOSCOW — President Vladimir Putin announced on Sunday that the US diplomatic mission in Russia would have to cut its staff by 755 employees, a response to the new US sanctions that escalated the tensions between Washington and Moscow.

“Over 1,000 employees — diplomats and technical workers — worked and continue to work today in Russia; 755 will have to stop this activity,” he said, according to both a clip shown on state-run Rossiya 1 television and a transcript provided by the Interfax news agency.

Although the reduction in US diplomatic staff had been announced on Friday, in response to a law passed in Congress last week expanding sanctions against Russia, the president’s statement was the first to confirm the large number of embassy personnel involved.

Speaking in a television interview on the Rossiya 1 network, Putin said that Russia had run out of patience waiting for relations with the United States to improve.

4. We cant survive him and the GOP, we wont. The human race probably as well.

Hillary won the election, the amount of collusion and hacking had it occurred in the reverse, the deplorable base would physically force their way into power.

I am not suggesting force, but we are not going to survive if something isnt done.

I especially like the way Rob Reiner puts it

GOP has no respect for DT. Also no fear. He's a lying childish egomaniacal dangerous fool. GOP girding for the inevitable. Impeachment looms

5. President Trump is too busy not watching TV

And just coincidentally tweeting about Sen. Blumenthal and his appearance on CNN.
