The Obama administration has alleged the expelled Russians meddled in the United States presidential election last month.

It is like working for Costco, they will get cycled to another country, same perks, and someone that wants to live in the US will get cycled here. Those particular guys will not be back.

.. how is this more than window dressing,
barely a slap on the wrist?

All that matters are the stolen election results,
and that many millions of Americans are going

We need more than sabre rattling and wrist slapping.
