When did I talk about Muslims living in the US? You have a very active imagination.

Constantly ... usually in connection with "Culture Warfare"

If they are Islamists then they are set out to destroy our culture. If you don't know that then you don't know what an Islamist is.

Also, SJWs are fighting to destroy American culture, along with any feminist that believes that America is a rape culture. I'm not starting any controversy. This is a matter of fact.

So what can we say? That I constantly post about all muslims living in the US? No you liar. I post about those who are ACTUALLY fighting to destroy American culture.

No. She intentionally put classified material on a private unsecured server. That's an indisputable fact. What Comey said was that she did so because she's a frigging dumb ass.

Btw.classified information ... is it a felony to give the russians highly classified informations?

Fake news. You never learn.

1). It's politico
2). The title

I'm only interested in who the leak is.

Politico is considered to have a Republican bias. It was endorsed by Jeb Bush. Sophisticated readers question it, like they do everything else, but it has far more cred than fake news sites like Breitbart and The Daily Wire.

The leaker is Donald J. Trump, and he is damaging US national security in order to satisfy his urge for braggadocio:

I am torn on whether to feel sorry for guys like McMaster. He knows that his "denial" of the WaPo story is not a denial at all (none of his assertions actually respond to what was reported in the story) and he doesn't say that the story is false, just that "“the story that came out tonight, as reported, is false..." Note how he qualifies this, so that, when it turns out that the story is true, he can just note that he was only talking about the story as it was reported to him. He takes care not to outright lie, even knowing that it is clear to anyone listening to him that he isn't actually denying the story.

Now, you could argue that McMaster deserves to be in this awkward position of defending the indefensible because he did, after all, agree to take the job even though he knew what trump was like. On the other hand, one could argue that he was "taking one for the team," figuring that someone had to take the job, and better for the country that it be him and not someone less qualified.

I am still leaning towards the latter feeling, but, frankly, that sort of presumption of nobility won't last if McMaster continues to carry water for Trump when trump endangers national security. Trump will continue to blithely disregard little things like information security precautions until his nose is smacked enough times to break him of the habit. Having his National Security Adviser resign in protest over Trump's unwillingness to protect vital national security interests might be the only way Trump is convinced that secrets are for keeping, not for boasting about.

Resigning, not serving, might be the best service McMaster could do for his country the next time this kind of thing comes up (and it will, for sure).

If Hillary did what Trump is now admitting (feeding Russians classified intel), she would be impeached so fast your head would spin.

Yet the GOP leadership sits there and does nothing. They are spineless.

On the contrary, there are plenty of Republican leaders expressing shock and dismay. The honeymoon is over. I can imagine that the Israel lobby is sharpening its knives.

Did he actually admit it? I hadn't heard that part of it yet, and wanted it on record before Kid posts "FAKE NEW"

Trump at least tweeted, that he informed the russians of "facts" regarding airliner safety and terrorism.
And that (as PotUS) he had every right to share those informations

He didn't mention, however, whether or not those informations were (highly) classified or could lead to the russians uncovering the highly classsified identity of an informant
