Watching MSNBC... Just now

[SummerSnow]

Trump praises Putin for expelling 755 diplomats in response to US sanctions cause it will be cost effective to the U.S. govt.

There is no link to it but Kelly O'Donnell said it to Nicole Wallace on her show. Sure we will hear more when he is finished meeting with his cabinet.

1. Link?

[SummerSnow]

5. No link it was said on MSNBC

2. How would that be 'cost effective?' They are not FIRED,

they remain Federal government employees, will be paid, moved, etc.

11. They'll be furloughed. They'll get paid to be moved, but if there's no position elsewhere...

They'll be let go in six months or so. There might be more jobs for people with Russian diplomatic experience out there, but I doubt the companies who are going to be hiring want ethical people or dedicated Americans who are interested in preserving U.S. interests.

The ones who will get hurt immediately are the contractors - including former Russian nationals and Eastern Europeans from former Soviet satellites (I doubt they'll have current Russian nationals) who are working at the sites.

3. That will make him a lot of friends in Congress.

He's on a roll now. Does he want them to impeach him or use the 25 Amend? If this is a distraction from Manafort getting raided it is a pretty stupid distraction. North Korean is another stupid one.

4. Think of the money we'd save on attorney fees alone if he'd quit!!!

6. Just saw the tweet

You've got to be kidding me.

[SummerSnow]

8. He will never say anything against Putin.

[Initech]

7. I'm surprised he didn't blame the democrats for putting 755 diplomats in Russia.

You know they will.

[fierywoman]

9. Well if that's where we're going

Exactly how much money could the US government save if it didn't have to protect the Trump clan, including the beautiful model he married who won't sleep in the same city as him?
