Trump tells Ukraine: Accept Putin’s demands ‘or be destroyed’

Stuff article tells of Trump's ranting and raving about the fact that if Ukraine don't give up the Donbas region, they'll be destroyed by Russia. 
This isn't the "yes we'll provide long range Tomahawk missiles" that Mt Zelenskyy was hoping for.

The NY Times  - The Right Has Gone Woke  (unlocked link)

 

19 Oct 2025

 

Language policing. Cancel culture. Victimhood contests and cultural grievances.

 

Despite attacking the left for partaking in such practices, there’s an emerging set of individuals on the right who have became exactly what they’ve criticized.

 

Meet the woke right.

 

Video by Stephanie Shen and Alexander Stockton        [2:51]

Embed of above from YouTube:



Removing Jackie Robinson is just unbelievable. Unfortunately the video barely scratches the tip of the iceberg.

A few memes seen around the place today...

 

In response to the No Kings protests, the orange buffoon posts this pathetically sad AI-generated video of him dropping crap on the protesters:

 

 

(I personally can't say I've ever seen an American president, ever, behave in such a childish and petty manner over people who are following their First Amendment right to protest. Absolutely appalling).

 

Luckily God (above) has shown us the light!

 

Protests weren't confined to only the US, either:

 

 

At least Trump didn't have to pay for this party to happen! Remember he gets very concerned about crowd sizes (see: 2017 inauguration, "biggest crowds ever!"...NOT):

Fourteenth Amendment, Section 1:
“No state shall … deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

This Equal Protection Clause has been interpreted by courts to mean that all convicted criminals are entitled to fair and equal treatment by the government and its institutions.

The Fifth Amendment guarantees due process of law, which applies before and during imprisonment.

So, while the Fourteenth Amendment is the key source of the “equal treatment” principle, it operates alongside the Eighth and Fifth Amendments to ensure that no one, regardless of wealth or power, is treated differently in the criminal justice or prison system.

Prison Is Running Massive Ghislaine Maxwell Coverup for Trump: Insider: the Daily Beast

Officials at the Bureau of Prisons, BOP, have instituted a unique system for keeping absolutely every detail about Ghislaine Maxwell secret, a federal prison consultant revealed on the Daily Beast Podcast.

Maxwell was moved to a cushier jail after an order came from “well above their heads,” follwing a visit from Trump’s former personal lawyer Todd Blanche, who is now the No. 2 at the Department of Justice.

The notorious partner in crime of the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was quietly transferred in August from a Federal Correctional Institution in Tallahassee, Florida, to a Federal Prison Camp in Bryan, Texas, that is known for its comforts relative to other jails.

Sam Mangel, a former inmate turned prison consultant for high-profile names like Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro, explained that the BOP is now working overtime to keep every detail about Maxwell out of the news.

Mangel, whose job is to work with high-profile inmates, said he had never seen a coverup operation like this before.
...
“They were warned, the inmates and the staff were warned prior to her coming in that under no circumstances are they to disclose anything that happens with her or to her or surrounding her during her time here.”

And Mangel says that was no idle threat. “In one case, there was one inmate that told somebody—a journalist—something about her. And this young lady was a friend of one of my clients and she had a very short sentence. Keeping in mind, prison phones and email are subject to being monitored. So you know for sure they have an AI system that is just looking for the name Maxwell. "

"And as soon as this other inmate made the statement, she was whisked off that night to Houston Federal Detention Center, which is a maximum security facility."

"the sentiment is one of walking on ice. They’re afraid, as the staff is afraid, to do anything wrong because they know that in order for her to have gotten there, the strings at the highest possible level."

Well I can see a GREAT reply post to Trumps AI Garbage...

 

" Our real heroes, the men and women in our armed services, on real missions under real enemy fire"

 

<Switch to clip of Trump plan dropping sh!t>

 

"They did not SH!T themselves"

 

<Back to Trump with his crown, but with King changed to Coward"

 

"Call name Coward, or as you know him Major Bone Spurs"

What happening now is abhorrent but its no worse then what the Woke Left were up to a few years ago.

 

When they were on top of the world they acted like petite authoritarians.

 

Do I need to remind people what Jimmy Kimmel said in September 2021

 

Jimmy Kimmel makes controversial comment on vaccinated vs unvaccinated

Jimmy Kimmel is a professional comedian who made a joke in very bad taste. The bad joke was immediately spoken against by many that you might perhaps consider Woke Left including on CNN and the clip that you linked above.

The guy who posted a video of himself bombing Americans with feces is the current President of the United States of America.

And has the brain and response of a mentally challenged child. But because he is the current President of the United States of America, he is very dangerous.





Whilst the difficult we can do immediately, the impossible takes a bit longer. However, miracles you will have to wait for.

It was one example of countless.

 

During that time the Woke Left whipped up into a frenzy of authoritarianism and undermined everything we had fought for over decades.

 

So diddums I am breaking ranks here but the clear facts are the Woke Right are not doing anything the Woke Left didn't already set the ground work for. In some ways they are just being more overtly debased about it.

"Feces" is the "correct" American spelling, as used by The Don (who has a very limited vocabulary).

 

Agreed, he is a very dangerous illegal dumper.   😮

Whataboutism at its finest right there.

 

When did Biden post a poorly-generated AI video of him dropping crap on people who dared to disagree with him? I must have missed that one 🤷‍♂️
