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 stated in an FT interview. 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

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.
“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
