    Trump better play hard ball with the Russians once he's in. If he poo poo's this America, both sides and many of those who voted for him, will be very upset. You can juke, dive and lie for only so long. He'll wish his only job was grab'in pussies then.

    it's just phase 1.
    this is the "rub the dog's nose in it" so everyone can see how CLEARLY the "Russians stole the election" ( Democratic meme).

    now that we're in our righteous ( read HYSTERICAL) mode- we can really show Putin how tough we are!!

    John McCain's blood thirst is slacked for a day, and the Dems are all warm and fuzzy they showed Putin. It's all good.

    Yes...even though we haven't heard the particulars of all the new sanctions, and cyber retaliations, this is just meant to set Trump up. I love it. He has to weigh his business interests against national security.

    The U.S. government provided new details today that revealed how a state adversary broke into American computer systems and influenced the U.S. democratic process.
    In a report issued this afternoon, the FBI and Department of Homeland Security outlined “technical details” that led them to conclude Russian military and intelligence services were behind a massive cyber assault on U.S. institutions, including the breach of the Democratic National Committee that became public earlier this year.
    U.S. officials have dubbed the alleged Russian campaign “Grizzly Steppe,” and today’s report was issued shortly after the Obama administration announced new sanctions against Russian agencies and individuals for the cyber attacks.

    do you not pay attention to the news?
    1.The Slobbering Republicans ( Putin is a "Thug /Murderer/ KGB - all around 'bad guy') are always up for more cold war adventurism.

    2.Obama is butt hurt from being kicked around by Putin. so there! take this!

    3.The Dem's are still in disbelief their corrupt -no message-plutocratic candidate lost to Trump! *egads -Trump -how did we lose to him?*

    so we're in for a few rounds of self righteous indignation until everybody's feelings are mollified -
    and Trump can be painted as the Manchurian Candidate ( Siberian candidate?) wrecking his attempts at detente.

    ain't America grand? MORE COLD WAR!!

    You don't read fine print do you?

    Those are just some of the retaliations. Losing 35 diplomats is essentially losing 35 spies. Yea...that hurts and it's probably a good bet more sanctions are coming and other's on the way.

    But hey. I get it. Anything Obama does is wrong and couldn't possibly work cause we all know how much he hates America. Particularly white America. Particularly white Americans who don't have that fist clue about the world 2 miles down the road from them.
