Thursday on MSNBC, while reporting on a phone-in White House background briefing with officials from the Department of Homeland Security and the State Department about President Barack Obama’s newly announced sanctions on Russia for hacking during the 2016 American presidential election, NBC News chief foreign affairs correspondent Andrea Mitchell said the Obama administration is taking steps to “box in” President-elect Donald Trump so the sanctions are not easily reversible.

Yeah, Trump sounds like the kind of guy who would feel “boxed in” by a ploy like this.

I think Obama will regret having gone up against an alpha male. He is all but toast now, or should I say shredded toast!!! Obama won’t even know what hit him. He will think it was a freight train traveling at 200 mph.

Umm, they’ve been scorching American earth all along. There is little left standing of laissez-faire Capitalism. They are nihilists.

Trump has a phone and a pen and Israel has Mossad. I think it’ll get resolved.

I’m afraid Trump is not the vindictive type. He will just let this pass and move on. I on the other hand would not get even, but would get ahead. This sorry POS would pay.

“Russia clearly interfered in the American elections, and now, at last, we can show you the evidence”

There is no evidence.

This people are such children. All these problems in the country and the world and Obama and Andrea Mitchell are playing these silly, childish games.

...

Let’s not forget McCain, his girlfriend, and Paul Ryan. They all want to delegitimize Trump’s election with zero evidence.

In a sane world, the media would be all over Obama about sabotaging a fairly elected successor. But we don’t live in a sane world.

Congress needs to drag Obama before a committee and ask him under oath his justification for abusing his executive power to impose restrictions on his successor, for partisan political purposes. This also includes the Utah land grab and the UN resolution scandal. Obama remains a spiteful, petty political hack.

Exact same wording re “boxing Trump in” on Russia, repeated by Karen Tumulty (Wash. Post), on Special Report tonight!

No, Trump needs to call Obama. Someone gave me Obama’s cell phone number today. Here it is. Please give Mr. Obama a piece of your mind......1-800-277-4643

which translates to 1-800-A$$-Hole

This one minute of Russian Hacker hate is brought to you by the US/EU and their owners the House of Saud and Qatar. Tonights hate episode is designed to make you not notice the mass graves Russia and Syria just discovered in an area of Aleppo that Obama/Hillary/McCains moderate rebels occupied. Lots of signs that the bodies were severely tortured before being killed.

How about Romney? Nobody was more of a POS than Romney during the Primaries. After, he was in the running for SOS. Cruz was in consideration for a position too.

"...the Obama administration is taking steps to “box in” President-elect Donald Trump so the sanctions are not easily reversible."

Obama needs to be tried for treason, and if found guilty sentenced to assume a condition that is "not easily reversible."
