"Snitches get stitches." Gang mentality.

I mean at this point could trump and his team even strategize invading north korea without it being leaked?
These leakers are now americas #1 National Security Threat

Hopefully not... American people should kind of know this stuff. If Trump hides efforts in building to an invasion of anywhere... we as American people sure as hell shouldn't have such information leaked. Trump should be telling us... you know, American people are currently signing up for military service, they should know what exactly they sign up for, without needing a leak. We don't need to know how an invasion would play out tactically, but we sure as hell should know an invasion will happen.

You mean, how Trump would leak it by bragging about it to someone like Russia?

Just realized Trump being the leaker is rather funny. It has so many meanings!

None of those have happened, except Gorsuch, and that was always going to happen the second a GOP president sat down in Jan 2017.

He's made movements towards those, but accomplished none of them.

The TPP is dead. He has definitely cut regulations for manufactures, multiple have canceled plans to move to Mexico.

A lot of those plans were being worked on during the Obama administration with Trump just taking the credit. His Indiana stunt is also set to only save those jobs for a couple years at a large loss to tax payers.

Manufacturing is also an incredibly small portion of US jobs. Much more insignificant than many would realize.

I love the new defense coming out of the white house "The President is a dumbass we dont bother to brief. He didn't know any better."

Makes me feel better, hopefully they just give him a few minor secrets he can tell his golf buddies to impress them.

Actually the only thing he hasn't done is actually build the wall and ban middle eastern travel, because of democrat judges who obstruct justice and the power of the president and undermine national security and put americans lives in danger.

How dare those judges (who so far are all Bush appointees btw) do their job and protect the country from a wannabe dictator. I mean we don't need checks and balances, do we comrade.

Tppwas Doa no matter the president. The manufacturers not moving to Mexico was already planned.

Let see
Reagen sold weapons to Iran
Clinton got a BJ
Bush is a war criminal
Obama is black and decided to reform healthcare
Trump: literally every 2 weeks he does something that makes you're eyes do a 360, if Obama did the fraction of the stuff we would have gotten 10 investigations without any new conclusions.

The right needs to stop calling things equal when a party does something (not you) since it isn't equal

Running guns to Mexico? Lying about health care? Granting Tax exempt only to those who agree with his policies? Red line in Syria? $400,000 speaking payout?

TPP is now called TIPP, with the difference being that US no longer has its interest represented in a multinational trade deal.

Trump may be getting a new Press Secretary from State Media.

Bush was a secret Democrat.

Am I doing this right?

Running guns to Mexico?

You mean a bungled ATF operation?

Lying about health care?

Yup, and he's been resoundingly criticized for it.

Granting Tax exempt only to those who agree with his policies?

Uh...sauce?

Red line in Syria?

Yup, he put himself in a lose/lose situation with that one. But again, hardly the worst thing ever.

$400,000 speaking payout?

As a private citizen, what's your issue?

Is that why Ford is planning to cut jobs?

If your waifu didn't inherit the Obama economy, you wouldn't even have that. Pathetic.

White House Staff ‘Hiding’ as Russia Chaos Engulfs West Wing

‘Do not ask me about how this looks, we all know how this looks,’ said one senior aide, after Trump gave highly classified information to Russian officials.

The aide described a scene at the White House as tense and “a morgue,” where senior officials such as Sean Spicer, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, and Stephen Bannon convened to sketch an immediate path forward in handling the aftermath.

McMaster denied that any information shared with the Russians at last week’s meeting divulged “sources and methods” of intelligence gathering by the U.S. or its allies. But he did not deny that the president had shared classified information during the meeting.But then, on Tuesday morning, Trump contradicted his aides—and confirmed on Twitter that he had indeed shared sensitive information: “As President I wanted to share with Russia (at an openly scheduled W.H. meeting) which I have the absolute right to do, facts pertaining to terrorism and airline flight safety.”

“At this point I’m wondering if we’ll ever be able to stop talking about Russia,” a White House staffer said shortly after the Post story was published. “It’s totally self-inflicted. Every time I feel like we’re getting a handle on the last Russia fiasco, a new one pops.”

“With news like this I’m beginning to wonder why Trump ran in the first place and if he really cares about the country,” said a senior Trump appointee involved in counter-ISIS policymaking. “I miss candidate Trump. Now he’s just a pathetic mess.”


“I doubt he did it to collude [with the Russians]. I think he’s dumb and doesn’t know the difference,” a former FBI official told The Daily Beast. “He thinks he’s arranging some business deal except that he’s not.”


“I don’t think he shared the classified intelligence to collude. I think he shared because he thinks he’s playing chess when he’s actually playing checkers. International affairs is not like buying a golf course,” added a second former FBI official.

- media will not print out anything regarding the leaked info's source for safety reasons
- intelligence agencies run a meeting on how to contain the damage
- ?
- media releases the supposed source of the info: Israel
- everyone focuses on Israel.

Is it pushing it too far to think that maybe the CIA or whatever ordered the media to say it was Israel to cease people's interest in digging harder into it and protect the true source?

It's also possible that the source has already been extracted or captured/killed since it was compromised by Trump, so at this point it no longer matters if the public finds out who it belonged to.

Started under Bush. Grandfather plans are in ACA. Had nothing to do with Obama. We bombed Syria just a couple of weeks ago. Obama is a private citizen, similarly how Trump claimed millions in speaking fees prior to being president.

Wow, how did he divide and conquer before he was even in office? That's amazing.

He didn't have to, he was Senator in Chicago where everyone just nodded in agreement to anything he said because (D)
