But you know what really fires up the beltway GOP? Not any of the above. Instead, the political class is really angry that the Trump administration may finally bring a four year conflict in Eastern Europe to a close.

Four-year conflict!? I mean, really!? How stupid is that!?

It's like the con artist class is really angry that the political class is well aware that both the "conflict" (Vance's term) and Donald Trump having his strings pulled by Putin have been going on for far longer than the four years they keep claiming in their fools' errand to sell the preposterous idea that everything that is happening in Eastern Europe is somehow Joe Biden's fault and would never have started if Trump was president.

The only problem is, McConnell's not the only Republican who is instead disgusted at seeing Trump act as Putin's puppet, once again.

A classic. Go, Chris! Yes: why is the Republican Party in the United States of America even debating the merits of Nazi white supremacy, antisemitism, and genocidal race nationalism? Are there votes to be had from Americans who adore Adolf Hitler? Is this the way to win elections: pledge the mass deaths of Americans we don't like?

Does Trump even understand this part of his 'movement' and his 'base': Screw Eisenhower, screw 'Saving Private Ryan', screw the Greatest Generation, and embrace National Socialism and its swastika and its death camps? Whither the GOP, the 'Grand Old Party' founded to combat race slavery and racial prejudice?
