...well. Technically we could elect Obama Biden's VP and then hope the old man keels over...allowing Obama to serve most of a third term? The 22nd only says "elect". There are non-elected routes to the big chair.

the russian consulate in Seattle --1 of 5 in US-- was closed and 60 diplomats expelled, same day russian diplomats are expelled from canada, ukraine, and from eu countries, for a total of around 100. this is a strong message, and i'm glad the state department is working in concert with our allies. if only, however, our president would be as forceful in his remarks as literally everyone else has

48 of the expelled agents are in DC and 12 work at the UN

the closing in seattle had to do with proximity to both boeing and one of the biggest and strategically important naval bases in the country. russia doesn't play by the same rules as everybody else and never has

I feel like this still amounts to shit because Putin DGAF about f**k consulates. Still waiting for that candid tv moment when Trump berates Russia and Putin himself.

Tick tock.

Plus it just plays that much more for Putin's narrative about the West being out to keep Russia down. Why be responsible for anything in your own country when you can just blame everything on a global anti-Russian conspiracy?

[Kane]

Not sure who learned how to do that first - Putin or the GOP?
