This is incoherent. Most of the stories to which you refer were about Podesta's emails. He either was the victim of a phishing scheme or someone else leaked them to Wikileaks. And many of these stories were fake news perpetrated by the MSM.

They didn't do nothing. They imposed sanctions, expelled diplomats, etc. Some republicans, like McConnell were staunchly opposed to doing anything at all and promised to block any further action.

Kislyak has been recalled.
All after the fact. Why did they have their thumbs up their rears while it happened ? Was it a surprise that Russia wanted to meddle in our elections ? i don't think so.

They didn't sit with their thumbs up their rears. It appears the meddling mostly stopped after September when Obama directly confronted Putin. However, there is no doubt in my mind that the response was inadequate. The Obama administration dropped the ball.

Oh, and the sanctions Obama imposed? Trump tried to lift them.

You are missing Trump, Flynn, Pence, Bannon, etc. Especially considering that if Flynn didn't commit treason he walked up to the line and dangled over it while Trump and his team looked on. How should Trump be held accountable, Matt? As you are well aware, Trump went out of his way to speculate that anyone but the Russians were responsible for the election meddling & DNC hack. Even now he continues to call it fake news.
I'm still waiting to hear about something Trump has accomplished. And, no, I don't find a temporary stay of PART of an executive order to be very compelling.

In other news, Joe Arpaio is on trial in Arizona and about to pay the price for refusing to follow a federal court order. Too bad it wasn't state court because Trump will be able to pardon him (although I doubt he will as Trump isn't loyal to those that back him if they are no longer of use to him), and too bad any time served will likely be in protective custody. He should have to be in gen pop like anyone else. Especially considering his office routinely refused to protect inmates at high risk of being attacked by other inmates. Arpaio deserves nothing less than "the Boats". Google it if you don't know what it is. And, honestly, even that is probably too gentle for what he actually deserves.
Evan, off the top of my head:
Neil Gorsuch appointment
Pulling out of Paris Climate Treaty
Exiting TPP
Repealed numerous EPA job hindering regulations and other agency regs ( I would look them all up but don't have the time)
Cut funding to sanctuary cities(will be litigated)
Hiring freeze on federal employees excluding military and security services
VA accountability act
Illegal border crossing down 70%
Consumer confidence is up
2 trillion or so added to the value of the NYSE
Dismantling Obama's legacy
Mining jobs went up past few months
Not a bad start!

Melania only needs to walk down the hall to find a good place to start her cyber bullying campaign.
Im hearing the Russia investigation is really picking up steam. This thing looks big. Lots of traitors on the republican and democratic side.

Our President is an absolute scumbag. He has sullied a once prestigious Office, and has made our country weaker, more divided, and the laughingstock of the world.
The Russians are getting exactly what they paid for. American institutions and our national fabric are being torn asunder by a classless, narcissistic, pig unfit to have the HONOR to serve the American people.
I hope people are happy.

Trump's tweets are outrageous and unbecoming of a United States President. I cannot believe THIS is the man people put in office. We are supposed to RISE ABOVE people who disrespect us, attack us, and speak ill of us. Not send out middle school tweets! My God. This is the leader of the free world and THIS is the example he sets.

Make no mistake, Trump's false accusations against the media and inciting his supporters to hate, demean, and dehumanize those in the media WILL have consequences.
It won't be long before a member of the media is shot or killed because the attacker believed the rhetoric of Trump, his alt-right supporters, and his water carriers like Ingraham, Hannity, etc.
There is one person who started all of this and keeps the flames going. When the violence breaks out, remember who refused dozens of opportunities to tone it down. Every other President has been able to serve without acting like a braying jackass about every single story that doesn't unconditionally praise them.

I don't understand why people get mad at the MSM lies but don't get mad when trump lies.
