In a remarkable and rapid rapprochement, Donald Trump’s Secretary of State Marco Rubio has been in Riyadh meeting a Russian delegation to kick off talks about a deal to end the conflict in Ukraine. Who’s not at the talks? Ukraine – or any other European leader. Is Russia calling the shots? And why is President Trump so happy to push ahead engaging with Moscow even when it is leaving America’s allies dumbfounded?
Douglas Heye is a veteran Republican strategist who reads the politics of DC more closely than almost anyone else. He came into the studio to speak to Emily and Jon about what the MAGA approach to Ukraine means for the world. And later, as Steve Bannon teases the prospect of a potential third term for Donald Trump in the White House, how fragile is the American constitution looking right now?

Dear Elon Musk. Thank you and your mother Maye Musk liking and retweeting my post about Ed Stier comparing Vladimir Vladimirovich 5 Kopek’s Putin akin to the other well-known narcissist Donald J Trump. 5 Kopek’s is the value Putin puts on a human life, Russian or anybody else, stated in a FT interview with Lionel Barber. So, I suggest you listen to the interventions of Jess Phillips in the British parliament on behalf of rape victims and then think of why you did not comment whatsoever on the way the legal system in the US ALLOWED Jeoffrey Epstein’s rape of young girls to continue for years after he was first found guilty of the rape of young girls unless you did, of course. Please explain. Could The Rt Hon Sir Keir Starmer, KCB KC MP be right when he said that you had no thought for the victims of rape in your attack against Jess Phillips and Sir Keir Stamer but only considered the promotion of yourself? You may like to watch and listen to Volodymyr Zelenskyy: Ukraine, War, Peace, Putin, Trump, NATO, and Freedom | Lex Fridman | by comparison. Lex is a man you most likely trust…
You are one billionaire I can think of who hasn’t stolen their way to their profits. Your continued support for the Starlink system upon which President Volodymyr Oleksandrovych Zelenskyy of Ukraine and his countrymen and women rely to defeat the one-sided illegal onslaught. Please step up to the mark. Malcolm Patten

Trump’s SECRET Plan for a 3rd Term EXPOSED?! | https://tinyurl.com/yd46dzyh | A nation can survive its fools and even the ambitions but it cannot survive treason from within. For the traitor appears not a traitor… He speaks in the accents familiar to his victims and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the heart of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of a city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A Murderer is less to be feared ~ Marcus Tullius Cicero

The United States of America is the UK’s Number One Military Ally… We shall have to endure a malign stochastic sociopath becoming the US president in January 2025.
“The key to Democrat activist New York judge Juan Merchan giving Donald Trump an ‘unconditional discharge’ was the 2024 election when American voters elected Trump to the highest office in the land for a second term.”-GV
Cartoon by Gary Varvel for Counterpoint
“Like a broken record, Donald Trump repeats that he wants to put America first. But his attention couldn’t be further away.”-PM
Cartoon by Pedro X. Molina for Counterpoint
“Judge Juan Merchan seems hellbent on making Donald Trump take the oath of office saying, ‘I, Donald Trump, a convicted felon, do solemnly swear … .’ He’s scheduled Trump’s hush money sentencing for January 10 and doesn’t seem inclined to change it, though he does say he won’t send the president to prison. Trump is suing. Inauguration Day is the 20th.”-CB

“Jimmy Carter promised the American people he would never lie to them. He kept that promise. Meanwhile, Donald Trump told 30,573 lies in his first term. We miss you, Jimmy.”-RR
Cartoon by Rob Rogers for Counterpoint
“The MAGA coalition has a lot of contradictions. It purports to be a populist movement representing the working class, yet Trump is populating his cabinet with billionaires. And last week, there was open hostility on display between the nativist wing and the tech bros over H-1B skilled worker visas. This coalition cannot hold, and we are now witnessing the first cracks.”-NA

“The front-runner candidate of the Republican party who — along with his most fanatical accomplices — has spent recent years trying to deny that he is a puppet of Putin, is becoming more and more explicit in his adoration of the criminal Russian dictator.” – PM
