President Barack Obama on Thursday authorized a series of sanctions against Russia for intervening in the 2016 U.S. presidential election and warned of more action to come.

I might have missed it.. did anyone offer proof?
Obama needs to be impeached immediately before he starts WW3.
So why would Obama want those Russian diplomats expelled from the U.S.?
I think Trump’s team needs to talk to them.
These actions were taken to respond to Russian harassment of American diplomats and actions by the diplomats that we have assessed to be not consistent with diplomatic practice," the official said.
The State Department has long complained that Russian security agents and traffic police have harassed U.S. diplomats in Moscow, and U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has raised the issue with Putin and his foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov.
"By imposing costs on the Russian diplomats in the United States, by denying them access to the two facilities, we hope the Russian government reevaluates its own actions, which have impeded the ability and safety of our own embassy personnel in Russia," the official said.
Crooked headline is a backdoor way to say “Russia intervened in the election”.
Obama can whine, scream, pout, sanction, complain or melt his red crayons in a rage. But he can’t change history. History will always show that he came off second best to Putin.
Truly the Democrats are insane.
It’s a set-up.
He just Jouro-Listed all his MSM scum to report negatively when Trump backs off these jackass sanctions.
All the morons will follow in lock-step.
Apparently most of this was unrelated to hacking. Had to do with harassing diplomats overseas. Political bs.
The Russians did NOT intervene in the election.
The old corrupt communist criminal hag lost because she is an old corrupt communist criminal hag. Simple as that.
Russian embassy in the UK tweets image of a duck, with the word ‘lame’ and says ‘everybody ... will be glad to see the last of this hapless administration’ following sanctions announcement - @RussianEmbassy

This moron is butt hurt beyond all butt hurt.
There is a very interesting article at The UNZ on the attempt of the coup to keep Trump out of office. the past few years Latin America has experienced several examples of the seizure of Presidential power by unconstitutional means, which may help illustrate some of the current moves underway in Washington. These are especially interesting since the Obama Administration served as the ‘midwife’ for these ‘regime changes’.
Brazil, Paraguay, Honduras and Haiti experienced coups, in which the elected Presidents were ousted through a series of political interventions orchestrated by economic elites and their political allies in Congress and the Judiciary.
President Obama and Secretary of State Clinton were deeply involved in these operations as part of their established foreign policy of ‘regime change’. Indeed, the ’success’ of the Latin American coups has encouraged sectors of the US elite to attempt to prevent President-elect Trump from taking office in January.
While similarities abound, the on-going coup against Trump in the United States occurs within a very different power configuration of proponents and antagonists.
Firstly, this coup is not against a standing President, but targets an elected president set to take office on January 20, 2017. Secondly, the attempted coup has polarized leading sectors of the political and economic elite. It even exposes a seamy rivalry within the intelligence-security apparatus, with the political appointees heading the CIA involved in the coup and the FBI supporting the incoming President Trump and the constitutional process. Thirdly, the evolving coup is a sequential process, which will build momentum and then escalate very rapidly.
Coup-makers depend on the ‘Big Lie’ as their point of departure – accusing President-Elect Trump of 1) being a Kremlin stooge, attributing his electoral victory to Russian intervention against his Democratic Party opponent, Hillary Clinton and 2) blatant voter fraud in which the Republican Party prevented minority voters from casting their ballot for Secretary Clinton.
The first operatives to emerge in the early stages of the coup included the marginal-left Green Party Presidential candidate Dr. Jill Stein, who won less than 1% of the vote, as well as the mass media.
In the wake of her resounding defeat, Candidate Stein usurped authority from the national Green Party and rapidly raked in $8 million dollars in donations from Democratic Party operatives and George Soros-linked NGO’s (many times the amount raised during her Presidential campaign). This dodgy money financed her demand for ballot recounts in selective states in order to challenge Trump’s victory. The recounts failed to change the outcome, but it was a ‘first shot across the bow’, to stop Trump. It became a propaganda focus for the neo-conservative mass media to mobilize several thousand Clintonite and liberal activists.
Obama is a world class ass.
I imagine that the Ruskies have indeed interfered in our elections for at least 50 years.
The purpose of their interference: Subvert citizen confidence in the integrity of the elections.
So far, no politician has been stupid enough to let that happen...but now we have Barry.
...of course nothing was mentioned by the twink-n-chief when Russia was invading our airspace for fun.
Less than one month until a lot of Obama's crap is immediately reversed.
0bama starts WW3 on his way out based upon spurious information. A fine legacy indeed.
This piece of $hit is showing what he thinks of Russia and Putin. He’s getting worse in his final days. He is determined to do as much damage as he can before he goes.
