President Barack Obama on Thursday ordered the expulsion of 35 Russian diplomats and sanctioned Russian intelligence officials who Washington believes were involved in hacking U.S. political groups in the 2016 presidential election.

The measures, taken during the last days of Obama's presidency, mark a new low in U.S.-Russian relations which have deteriorated over serious differences on Ukraine and Syria.

"These actions follow repeated private and public warnings that we have issued to the Russian government, and are a necessary and appropriate response to efforts to harm U.S. interests in violation of established international norms of behavior," Obama said in a statement from vacation in Hawaii.

GREAT...... In one of his last acts as POTUS, Obama launches Cold War Two. What a feckless idiot!!!!!

Man, this doofus can't leave soon enough.

I guess destroying our relationship with Israel wasn't enough excitement for him.
He's like a child trying to take away attention from Trump who has mended more fences since the election than BHO has in 8 years.

They shouldn't cancel their apartment/condo leases. They'll be back in 23 days. If I were Trump, I'd throw them a huge "welcome back" party!

Next...the Israeli embassy.

Jeez, couldn't he have just stolen away all of the T's in the Whitehouse? I'm scared for what else he has in store before the 20th.

Seems like he is trying to ruin everything before he leaves office. The democratic party is a bunch of sore losers who will not accept that their nominee lost.

Exactly right! He's nothing but a punk being a punk. Hopefully, Putin will do nothing until Trump is in office. Paul Ryan isn't helping either.

There has been no proof put forth to anyone. When the CIA was asked by Congress to bring them the truth the CIA did not show up.

The swamp is deep and full of truly deplorable people - and they ain't Trump voters!

Any agreements Trump had with Obama made during their post-election meeting should be considered null and void by President Trump on Jan. 20th.

As far as the Russian response - I'm sure after Obama's many "lines in the sand" he's drawn Mr. Putin and his comrades are

The Russians respect strong leaders, the US hasn't had any in a while and that's why Russia will stick their fingers in our eyes every chance they get.
Only after suffering a couple of broken fingers will they show us more respect.

the lefts own statements prove its a lie.
hacking an election is done for what reason? to change the vote so a particular candidate can win for whatever desired reason.
How can that be done? Only two ways.
1. remove votes cast for a candidate opposed to the desired winner.
2. change the count of the votes in favor of the desired winner.

The left claims the election was hacked by the russians in favor of Trump. So here is the question:

The left claims Trump is not a legitimate president since the red queen won the popular vote. According to the left since the red queen won the popular vote she is the legitimate winner regardless of what the electoral college vote was.
It is documented the red queen won the popular vote.

The question is, if the russians hacked the election in favor of Trump as is claimed, how did the red queen win the popular vote?
answer: the claim of both is a self-contradictory lie. It is impossible for the russians to "hack" an election in favor of Trump winning and the red queen still win the popular vote.

Otherwise, what exactly did the russians do to "hack" the election?
answer: nothing, it is a lie.

that is why there's been no evidence to back up the claim brought forth, there is none because it didnt happen.
