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.

    He's gotten so much done... Filling his pockets from Federal coffers and his fooled foolish followers.

    Continuous behaviors of ineptitude in the highest office of this land. With precedents like this being put in place, all of our future POTUS' don't even need to worry about lifting a finger in Washington.. You can just work on your golf game for four years on the taxpayer dime.

    No one but Hitlery has Russia ties. She put on a mean face (and she looked hideous) but behind closed doors she was peddling deals.

    I say for every dollar wasted on this whole Russia BS, two dollars get used for obummer and Hitlery investigation of corruption.

    I think the election of Trump has shown something. That the US Democracy has finally collapsed. The US may be able to get away with electing a Democrat next term at the end of this four years or not. But:

    - We will never be able to remove the Conservative Majorities from Congress. The Conservative parties will commit whatever fraud is needed to stay in power, from vote rigging to stealing voting machines.
    - We will see a persistent See-Saw of Corporate Democrat followed by Right Wing Republican, even if ten million Popular voters vote a left wing Populist candidate like Bernie Sanders, the DNC and RNC will do whatever they can to stop them from being nominated.
    - Failing that the Electoral College will put the more conservative candidate in office. Over riding how the Popular vote goes.

    - Wealth inequality will expand.
    - Healthcare in the US will continue to get worse.

    Or filling 500+ government positions with anyone who haven't said a negative thing about Trump since the dawn of time.

    You have been spending too much time in California. Only radical left people think that way. They are the only ones blackballing people in the modern day for their political views.

    Republicans only care about money. Can you do the job? Good. Get to work.

    They can't win by nominating a Casto loving red who has never worked an honest job in his life (Sanders).

    Except I'm a Never Trumper. I also turned down an IT job with the Meg Whitman for CA Governor campaign because I voted for the moderate conservative, Tom Campbell, in the Republican Primary in 2010 . And then there's the fact I switched my political registration before the 2016 election and voted for Hillary. And those ~8,000 comments on Slashdot...

    Democrats aren't going to persecute themselves genius. They had moles in the FBI, DoJ as well as the White House. Hence the meet between Clinton & Lynch on the airport tarmac when the two don't even know each other. Coincidence? Not likely. Rigging/payoff... Quite likely.

    Get the moles out and let the real investigating begin.

    Don't be so gullible.
