OF COURSE Putin was behind it. Nothing happens in Russia without his say-so. I question whether Trump was involved. Putin is ruthless and brilliant. Trump is dumb as bag of hams. IMHO Putin has been playing him. It’s important for Trump to think he’s in charge. He always needs to believe he is the smartest person in…

I really hope so. I think too often he has chosen to let things pass due to optics. Now isn’t the time.

I don’t do Twitter and would back this 10000000000000%.

I cannot imagine that he will: Obama is so diplomatic — and pragmatic. Unless he sees a reason for it, his concern is a smooth transition.

There’s some chatter on my political twitter feed that this is exactly what Obama will say tomorrow at his year end press conference. Seems really incendiary to me, but we’ll all know soon enough.

I can’t think of a single Trump campaign promise that he appears intent on delivering....

Hey, anybody gonna answer that phone?

Yeah, I have little idea of what he could have done, other than, as he did, push for Hillary’s election in a pretty unprecedented way. He flat out told the American people Trump was unfit, for christ’s sake.

what if the CEO of twitter - since he was snubbed at trumps meeting of the oligar, er, ‘minds’ - shut down american twitter indefinitely, citing some BS like ‘cyper security concerns’. it’s not infringing on anyone’s freedom of speech (since it’s a private site), he’d be shutting down a shitty social media that breeds…

It’s a shame. Obama’s sanctions were one of the most effective punishments for Russia’s bullshit in a long time. Unfortunately, our next SoS’s current company has a half-trillion dollar deal waiting to happen once our next POTUS lifts those sanctions.

I think it would be easier to figure out which one’s don’t have conflicts of interests. Their biggest conflicts are most of them are heading up agencies they want to get rid of. Can you really have someone in charge of the EPA that wants to get rid of the EPA? That seems like a personal conflict. This whole presidency…

Just wait until Russia has to deal with insignificant economic sanctions that will be lifted in January!

And how many of his all-billionaire cabinet will have conflicts of interest? Unlike the President and VP, they are actually bound by COI laws.

I feel like the majority of intelligent people have figured out his reverse psychology trick. And he probably didn’t want to answer questions since he’s decided not to divest from his business.

What could Obama do about it? I assumed at the time something wonky was going on with the email leaks and especially the involvement of the FBI director. But I just have no idea if there is anything to be done.

Instead, he chose to throw a temper tweet-rum at Vanity Fair bc they didn’t like his shitty restaurant and his baby orange fee fees got hurt.

Oh, he decided to wait till after he takes office to do that. Somebody probably told him to wait till after he’s sworn in when it’s too late to do anything.

The tweets were to keep people from saying “hey, wasn’t he supposed to give that press conference today?”

Speaking of holding press conferences, didn’t Trump promise to hold one today to discuss how he would separate himself from his business? Amazing how he wasn’t able to do that, but did find the time to go on a Twitter tirade about a restaurant review and the amazingly stupid Tweet above.
