This is the Putin wing of the GOP.

I wish I believed in Hell; I'd add him to my growing list of people who should end up frying there.

7. I have to admire her steadfastness.

I, like everyone here, don't care for most of her politics. But she is honest and she's going to come through this better than most of her cohorts. I like that she won't back down.

12. Absolutely. She's willing to speak up, forcefully.

I'm not looking forward to the day when she aims at the Democratic Party again, but for now, almost everything she says and does is "country first" and spot on. It is admirable.

[Goodheart]

9. Hired by trump. What a surprise.

10. It may be reasonable to call MacGregor a neo-Nazi

Several Jewish advocacy groups came out against Macgregor's ambassador nomination after it came to light that he dismissed German remembrance of the Holocaust and downplayed the country's Nazi history.

KFile reviewed additional comments from Macgregor in which he said that US involvement in World War II was a "disaster," and incorrectly said there was no desire in the US to go to war with Nazi Germany. In 2012, he claimed there was evidence that conflict with Japan was engineered to end the Great Depression.

"People were not terribly happy about having to fight the second [war]. There was certainly no support for fighting the Germans during the Second World War. There was obviously for fighting the Japanese because Japan made the serious mistake of attacking us, but there was, there was great reluctance to be involved in these wars," Macgregor said.

"And again, as you know, some would argue -- and there's substantial evidence for it -- that the only way to extricate ourselves from the terrible depression was to bring on this conflict with Japan, which was made inevitable when we embargoed them," he added. "That may well have been the case"

John Bolton called him an anti-Semite.

11. Goading Putin to kill more civilians. Burn in hell, you fucker.

14. There IS no other wing of the Republican Party

Liz Cheney isn‘t going to turn it around by herself, either. That bus already has three wheels over the cliff.

15. His "Humanitarian Medal" should be taken from him

I looked him up on Wiki and noticed his list of medals from being a Colonel in the Army.
So his "Humanitarian Medal" is a sham!

[JHB]

16. Over 70% isn't merely a "wing"

It's the minority that occasionally don't follow the Party Line that are the "wing". And "wingtip" would be more accurate.

17. if you were Trump admin, you were working for Putin

(general rule of thumb)

18. Yep. Fascists everywhere support fascists, and fascism, everywhere. nt
