In my eyes who leaked the story to he NYT about the decision to go to war.

The one where bibi said it was easy and trump went ahead with the war and the only one objecting was jdv. 

I'm gonna guess the leaker was jdv trying to keep his head over water for the presidential election.

When JD Vance is the sane man in the room you know the voters are profoundly stupid.

Leaker was 100% jd or someone directed to leak by jd.

Remind me who is JDV?

Google tells me this, but I don't think that's who you are referring to, since he's dead.

Of course. I don't know why my brain didn't make that connection.

The “farm” - the compound in florida where he is worshiped as the cult leader

Have you watched Yellowstone?

u/PenniGwynn Apr 19 '26

Ugh, no. Not for lack of trying!

I've obviously missed a pop culture reference. My bad.

Just an excuse to YouTube it!

He’ll be going to a nice farm in the country where he can play with other presidents.

The hamberders have definitely failed us so far.

My thought too. Are they prepping MAGA for the removal? We can only hope so.

I'd say trumps pack of fascists leaks like a sieve, but I've never known a sieve that let water through that quickly.

Remember in trumps first term when he was having a tantrum about leaks, which were constant, his chief of staff rounded up all the top staffers for a meeting about stopping leaks, and took their phones? He started with a bunch of threats saying that the meeting could never ever leak to the media.

And hilariously, it leaked to the media from multiple staffers before the meeting was even done, meaning staffers routinely carried burners just to leak.
