“It seems like Republicans and Democrats are intractable,” said Mark Updegrove, a presidential historian and chairman of the Lyndon Baines Johnson Foundation. “They are both adhering to their own versions of reality, whether they’re based in truth or not.”

The biggest known unknown for both parties may be how the ongoing impeachment proceedings will be viewed by Americans one year from now.

Updegrove, the presidential historian, said the question a year from now will be whether that matters. “If not, what will matter to the American people as a whole?” he asked. “Is there anything?”

I’m tired of being lectured to by folks who are dividing us by showing no respect for my vote and for our President.
I’ve no interest in showing them good will or in uniting with them. They need to f*ck off and mind their own business.
And keep their grubby paws off our President while they’re at it.
Wow, four writers

What is it nowadays with articles taking 3, 4, sometimes 5 writers?

LOL ....... right.
Thanks 4Runner. DNC talking points, regurg'ed by partisan media shills at the A-hole-sociated Press? Not exactly a four leaf clover. Y'see, the shills always call the country "divided" when there's a Republican President, and drop that descritpion when there's a Demagogic Party president (or fake president like Obama).
Partisan Media Shills update.
Generally "total jerks" are not harmless.

The Conservative base is about 40%. The liberal base is about 15%. That is why they have to have the massive indoctrination and propaganda machines. That still only gets them to 45%. So they have to roll out the voter fraud machine. Their indoctrination machine has gotten a little stronger, but there are cracks forming all over in their propaganda machine. Thus the effort to silence Conservative speech across many venues. Those cracks will soon become fissures and then earthquakes.
This could be done by conferring statehood on any city who chooses it upon achieving a certain minimum population. Each new city/state would gain two new (and probably Socialist) US Senators and would continue to have House representation. They could impose all the restrictive, Socialistic laws they wanted within the city/state limits.
Suburbs and rural areas, however, would not be subject to laws made in these new city/states. They would be free to merge with any other areas as they choose, and subdivide or recombine those areas into smaller states under the same guidelines the cities used. Key factors would be an end to gerrymandering and an increase in the size of the House - approximately tripling the number of Representatives.
US citizenship would entitle anyone to move to and from any of these states, with no tax penalties or other arbitrary restrictions allowed by the states being departed. Red/Blue adherents would have an easier time arranging themselves as they choose.
We would end up with 150 or more states - each possessing a smaller government with more responsiveness to local issues. We would have a Senate with 300 members, but probably little change in the 53/47 percentage existing today. The 1,500 member House would allow new conservative voices a chance to emerge, while minimizing the influence of today's Leftist radicals. Some cities would inevitably become even bigger Leftist hellholes than they are today - but would be subject to immediate abandonment by their tax bases as a penalty for such mismanagement. Many suburban/rural areas near these cities would gain a degree of independence they do not have today.
The Deep State and the buyers of power in DC would despise and fight this plan. They desire the opposite - a small number of compromised politicians making all of the decisions for the nation as a whole.
Given demographic trends, liberals will live in only 15 of the nation’s 50 states by 2040.
They need to start having kids instead of dogs.
Yes, Julie Pace is quite the liar.

Maybe unknown to you but we the people know. If the Democrats continue this farce they will face the wrath of the American people at the next election and the election after that one and after that one and so on and so on!
Four writers and they come up with this? Oh, sorry, I forgot this is AP. :)
“...media’s relentless aggravated censorship...”
“The most insidious power the media has, is the power to ignore.” — Chris Plante, WMAL 105.9FM (DC).
Smaller doesn't necessarily mean better.
I live in a county with 83 political subdivisions. 83 different sets of rules and regulations. The largest entity has a population of 44,000.
Here is some "responsiveness" on the posting of election campaign signs from a medium sized municipality:
ELECTION SIGNS – During every primary & general election period the Township receives complaints and general inquiries about the placement of candidate/political signs. Shrewsbury Township regulates all signs throughout the year, including the aforesaid. Signs cannot be placed within any road right-of-way (ROW), even if the signs are placed on property with an owner’s permission. What is the ROW? It varies for each road and can vary in different segments of a road. Unless someone wishes to research the ROW for each road, the Township’s general advice to those that ask is that the signs be placed a minimum of 10 feet from the edge of the pavement, or where there are utility poles to place the signs behind the pole line (in most cases the poles are on the ROW line). In all cases permission is to be granted by the private property owner. If the signs are placed on the side of the road where there are no utility poles, use the same setback distance for the poles on the opposite side of the road, or use the 10-foot minimum setback from the edge of the road pavement. Please note that the Township enforces this policy throughout the year for all signs within the road ROW. The signs can be removed by the Township and private property owners without notice and then discarded. Again, this is the policy for Shrewsbury Township, only. Each municipality has its own sign regulations, if any such regulations exist. Specific questions can be directed to the Township Manager, Todd Zeigler, at 717-235-3011 (ext. 106) or by email at manager@shrewsburytownship.org. The sign regulations can also be read online at: https://www.ecode360.com/28322170
