President Trump Misses 90-Day Deadline To Appoint a Cybersecurity Team After Alleged Russian Hacking (politico.com)
From a report: President-elect Donald Trump was very clear: "I will appoint a team to give me a plan within 90 days of taking office," he said in January, after getting a U.S. intelligence assessment of Russian interference in last year's elections and promising to address cybersecurity. Thursday, Trump hits his 90-day mark. There is no team, there is no plan, and there is no clear answer from the White House on who would even be working on what. It's the latest deadline Trump's set and missed -- from the press conference he said his wife would hold last fall to answer questions about her original immigration process to the plan to defeat ISIS that he'd said would come within his first 30 days in office. Since his inauguration, Trump's issued a few tweets and promises to get to the bottom of Russian hacking -- and accusations of surveillance of Americans, himself included, by the Obama administration.
At last, we finally have undeniable proof that Donald J. Trump is a deep cover Russian agent sent here decades ago to hand the U.S. over to Russia! And to think, they called us all delusional, hysterical crackpots, with zero critical thinking skills, all throwing childish temper tantrums because our candidate lost a close election. The fools! Vindication is now ours!
With the deck stacked entirely in his favor he still can't deliver.
I imagine many of his casino investors had the very same thought.
It must have been something you assimilated. . . .
Nobody on his staff realized just how complicated "The Cyber" really was, I suppose.
Hell Jimmy Carter could have beaten him if he could have been talked into running.
Jimmy Carter's brain cancer would probably have beaten Trump
The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for it to be pitted against a slightly greater evil
The only reason Trump was nominated was the R establishment saw this as a losing year.
If anyone but Hillary had been running, they would have just put up an establishment candidate, and almost certainly lost in the general.
Of course the Ds will take the exact WRONG lesson from this and pivot left. Giving Trump eight years.
So the Democrats can only win if they pivot right, essentially becoming establishment Republicans, which were trounced by Trump in the primary and who even you say would lose in the general to anyone but Hillary?
Good thinkin'!
I say for every dollar wasted on this whole Russia BS, two dollars get used for obummer and Hitlery investigation of corruption.
So considering all the money spent investigating Hillary (Benghazi, email, et. al) We should only need to spend another 2 billion or so by your math investigating trump.
If only someone could explain to them it's a series of tubes...
right up until "Deep Cover". Nobody in Deep Cover would be this obvious about it. My 4 year old could hide stolen cookies better than Trump hides his Russian ties.

Well there were a few holidays, weekends and trips to Mar-a-lago in there, so maybe it was 90 working days.
Trump meant 90 _working_ days. Once you take off weekends, Mar-a-largo holidays, golf days and campaigning for 2020 days he is up to about day 12 now.
You will see that in his first 100 days (working days) he will have done more than any President has done in their whole term. Of course he may never get to 100 days if he isn't re-elected in 2020.
It's funny to think that in 50 years trolls are still going to be shouting that while their eyes whirl around in their heads.
