Here is the one hundred eighty-first article in our Republicans on Parade series, featuring individuals who personify what the Republican Party has become. Today’s winner is the de facto head of the US Republican Party, Vladimir Putin [R-RU]. He is so honored for giving his brown-nose sycophant protégé, criminal Fuhrer Trump*, a lesson on how to best deal with a political opponent.
Russia’s most prominent Kremlin critic, Alexei Navalny, was in critical condition in a German hospital Saturday, suffering from suspected poisoning, as doctors conducted tests after an emergency flight from Russia.
