I didn't know I was dealing with the DU Minister of Truth. There was a time on DU when people didn't go looking for confrontation in every little thing, but I can see that doesn't apply to yourself. Buh-bye!

... prohibit TeamUSA from participating the Olympics till Russia is readmitted.

Sort of the reverse of the 1980 & 1984 boycotts against then USSR.

they are here and still meddling. Something Dotard continues to refuse to do. Maybe he is still depending on them to move on to his next despotic grab.

Basically blasting russian efforts at influencing the 2016 elections and demanding they stay out of future elections. Add some sanctions.

Let the gop kill it.
