Unless Obama can make Trump president of Russia there just ain’t enough punishment out there to do justice.

McConnell: No worries, we will block any effort by The Black Man. Russia is our greatest ally.
Trump: I will outsource CIA and our stupid Military to Russia. They are really smart, just like me.

Don’t announce it, just do it.

The best way to punish the Russians would be to do something like bringing down the system for the central bank for an hour or two. Or cutting off natural gas pipelines intermittently for a week or so. Let the Russians know that we can cause as much damage as they can. (Worked during the Cold War.)

Stealing Putin’s money would be my choice. If he wakes up $50 billion poorer tomorrow, I wouldn’t care how it happened.

And just to toss the first apple of discord into the bromance, I would transfer eight or nine billion of it into Donnie’s personal account.

Sanctions, eh? Would these be the sanctions that Dumblefuck will just remove on Day 1?

Not sure exactly what set you off but be certain of one thing here - - obama does not first announce and then not do. If he says that he’s going to do something it’s as good as done. Count on it.

And no, Trump can’t stop him either.

Nothing set me off, actually. I do have a distaste for someone who starts off, “I’d like to thank the academy…” Don’t tell us what you’d like to do–do it. But my real point is that sanctions are of much less limited value than hitting the Russians someplace where it hurts, without doing huge or obvious damage that would require payback–just enough to let them know to stifle themselves, as Archie Bunker would put it.

All the eyes glided past this

The White House is also working to make sure that the actions they take cannot be easily rolled back by Donald Trump, according to the report.

Maybe OT but today Obama participated in a ceremony in Hawaii with Japan’s prime minister Abe to pay tribute to victims of war. All the orange thing could say in reply via Twitter of course was something about the president ignoring Pearl Harbor and the loss of life. And the fact that he’ll be open to attacking Japan for revenge. Just kidding about the second part. He didn’t tweet it, he just thinks it.

“I’d like to thank the Academy for this.”

“Thank you, Academy.”

We have a similar opinion here, I do believe!

Well your heart is in the right place but this is really dumb. Or what’s your theory of the president’s action? That as soon as soon as he gets any push back he’s going to desist?? Tell it to your fricking Academy. And lean back and get yourself schooled.

What time is the inaugural on January 20? Whatever time it is, President Obama will be in complete command until that time and anyone who thinks otherwise doesn’t understand how this brilliant man operates.

And then use the Patriot Act as the basis to seize the account.

Yes, that’s the point of doing it. It’s a political move. Then when Putin “plays” Trump, Trump looks even worse for removing the sanctions, especially since Obama is going to make it difficult to do.
