“I’m a bit disappointed that the Leakers weren’t brought away in handcuffs and charged with treason...”

Some caution is advisable here - seeking retribution against “the leakers” reinforces the narrative that the leaks and the leakers are real.

Remember Trump himself just tweeted upon his return that these supposedly leaked stories may be fake news, especially if they begin with “according to unnamed sources within the administration”.

The fake news is taking advantage of the fact that Trump supporters will naturally rise to Trump’s defense - so they set up a straw man (the Leaker) knowing we will be furious - we are getting our buttons pushed.

The real enemy is the fake news.

I’m not saying there are never leaks - I know there are.

I’m just saying - listen to Trump’s own words of caution the other day - be careful when the fake news makes up stories out of thin air and attributes them to leaks.

Consider the source - these so-called leakers may not even exist - it’s just the fake news constantly trying to paint a picture that the Trump administration is in turmoil, fraught with infighting, backstabbing and yes, leaks.

McMaster did what needs to be done this weekend. He got out there and when asked about "the WH scandal with Russia" explained that it's nothing out of the ordinary to have a way to communicate privately with all world leaders, friends or not. That's what we need, of course. Strong on-message loyal people being the only ones who speak for the administration.

Examples I don't understand of some happenings....Nikki Haley talking about regime change instead of on getting together to annihilate ISIS. Gary Cohn (sp) saying coal is obsolete. Ivanka Trump meeting privately with Planned Parenthood and saying afterward they don't perform abortions. This has to end.

Also, there HAVE to be some patriotic folks in DC who will get McCain locked up in a padded room for good. His insane ravings have become the "go to" for media hacks who want to demonstrate bipartisan opposition to Trump.
