And yeah, those Leftwing-loons are mainly career employees, not appointees.
The you have the Sleeper-commies that are hiding-out in the executive-branch, leaking info and doing other nasty stuff. If they can be found and fired........PURGE THOSE RATS.
I'd like to see your data for the bolded. How do you know this? I can tell you, anecdotally, that most of the civil servants/federal workers I've ever met (DoD especially) are right-wing.

Mainstream media echoes. ^^^^^^^^^

Politico?

Does it ever stop!?

Do you people EVER look at/listen to another side?

All the left does is discuss the person of Trump and hardly ever hold an intelligent conversation about policy and the many non-Russian related needs of the country and its people.

It's Russia...Russia...Russia....day after day the media beats the drum about Russia, and the personality of the President.

It's a cloud that has been created by the left and they keep it going not for the good of the country but for whatever inane, hateful purpose they harbor.

This is absolute madness. Even Hillary is back on the "why I lost" train. She cannot let go either.

The President does not conform to their idea of what a President "should be" and cannot accept that who he is, he is.

The leakers are undoubtedly left leaning. If they can be found, they ought to be released of their responsibilities. They are undermining the administration.

His major conflict of issue is his inability to choose between his own personal best interests & that of the US & the American people.

One of the ways he 'revealed his hand' was by choosing an inexperienced family member over Chris Christie. Another is Mr. Bannon's continuing influence in his allegiance to 'deconstruct the administrative state'.


Why the Trump administration has so many vacancies - POLITICO

"It’s like a medieval court."
And the liberal media are the court jesters.

The Trump administration is in no need of (more) court jesters, particularly if one is looking to competently manage the 'business' of a legitimate US Presidency.

OK. So let's forget the fact that there are many indications that Donald Trump and his appointees were/are involved in some very serious dealings with the Russians, dealings that are wholly for inappropriate for a President. Let's say he has been above board with them since before the election. He hasn't been charged with anything, so that's entirely possible.

Now we're back to judging Trump on his performance, and that isn't good either. Tell us, what has he done for Americans? I mean, done, not what has he tried, or said, or thought, or Tweeted, but DONE for us. I await your response with bated breath.

I don't see it as a matter of stopping the leaks (which I believe are mostly fake news anyway), but it should be his own team, those that share common values and decency with the President.

How's about using the same yardstick that's been used for past presidents. Give him at least a year if not two and then "wait with baited breath".
If by mid-terms he's not accomplished much of anything I'd fully agree it's time to wind up the "get off the pot or get out" train.
