    “Never has there been a president, with few exceptions — case of FDR, he had a major depression to handle — who has passed more legislation and who has done more things than what we’ve done,” Trump said during his first-ever Cabinet meeting at the White House.
    Take that, lamestream media.

      Rumor is that Trump is considering shit-canning Mueller.

      If he does so that would be pretty telling.

The investigation is ongoing, and despite what Vichy GOPers say, it continues to a be serious matter.
        If you're not a Trump apologist you deserve a medal for doing a great job impersonating one. I can't recall a single instance of you criticizing him.
        I was hoping when you answered that question it might dawn on you that those "allegations" are not why Trump won. Podesta's emails are not why Trump won. BTW, WTH are "extreme targeted and effective propaganda efforts?" You talking about sharing some memes on facebook or something?

        I'm not saying that any Russian meddling in our internal affairs is not serious and shouldn't be dealt with, but stop it already. The Russians didn't get Trump elected.

        This whole thing is one part hissy fit that the left lost:



        and one part trying to prevent Trump from cleaning up after Obama.

          We don't yet know the extent of what the Russians did or its impact. Trump won (like anyone else) because of a combination of factors. Trump doesn't clean anything up, he is one big walking political mess.

            I assume it's pointless to note Ivanka's unintentionally hilarious observation that, "There's a level of viciousness that I was not expecting. I was not expecting the intensity of this experience." She's right, of course, that it has been vicious, regrettably so, but to invoke the playground parlance with which her pops is familiar, "He started it."

Though, there weren't a bunch of hacked emails from Republican organizations showing up in that election, I don't think Russia unleashed their information warfare like they did this time. Who knows, I wouldn't be shocked if they tried something out. During that election, Putin wasn't president, his stooge Medvedev was and he might have been less aggressive than Putin. Trump, though, has well-established long term business partnerships with Russia(ns) so that is also an important difference.
              There were attempts this election cycle to hack the RNC (and probably individual Republicans). They didn't succeed. The DNC / Podesta were to too incompetent / careless to protect their communications. Maybe Russians tried to hack both and wouldv'e shared both if they could've just to sow some chaos. However, they only had DNC / Podesta emails and so that was what was released. Not an attempt to specifically benefit Trump, just an effort to mess with the election, in general.

                Keep watching the right hand while the left hand rolls back executive orders, bad legislation, and more.

                  The IC concluded it was an effort to help Trump. They wanted him to win. Neither you nor I, are party to classified info about all the specifics of Russia's info and cyber warfare, and for that matter what they harvested from their political targets, but Comey and others have left no doubt it was an effort to help Trump. If you can't accept that you're pretty far entrenched in Trump-apologist territory.

                        Trump didn't start it. It was around for Bush, Obama, Romney, etc. I even remember it being around for Carter and Reagan.

                        Trump doesn't get credit for beginning it. But he did take it to a new level.
