This constant strident and bellicose divineness that has infected our entire political system has to cease for the good of our country. Neither side is less or more culpable than the other, the hands of the politicos on both sides of the aisle are equally dirty.  This inane and poisonous juvenile behavior by ALL of our elected officials  should not be tolerated by any of us American citizens. I, for one, don't appreciate my tax money being spent on this type of behavior by  ALL of our elected officials. If I wanted to I could likely go to most any playground of an elementary school in the country and witness this type of petty nonsense, I don't appreciate constantly hearing and seeing about it in the evening news.

 

God bless our republic.

I doubt it would be as petty or political on the playground.

 

BTW, you say both sides are culpable, and to some extent I agree, but there are degrees, and from what I have seen for the past 30 years is that one side has been instrumental is creating a divisive environment primarily through their scheme if identity politics.  It has gotten so bad from this push, that the identity categories created by the Dems have even begun to fight among themselves creating even more decisiveness.

I agree with Bill.  It HAS been more one-sided for many years.

I don't care to get into origins or the history, at this point it really shouldn't matter. It has to cease! That sounds just like when you stop two children from fighting, pulling them apart, and you are trying to sort it out, and each one says (something to the effect), "Nah-uh, I didn't start it he did! He called me an oaf, or, Well, he said my mom wears army boots." (Whatever, you get the drift?) There are just too many things going on in our world, domestic and international, for us and our supposed leaders to be bickering ad nauseam, with the end being stalemate, and certainly immature behavior.  How do you think it makes us look in the eyes of the world. The leaders of the leading country of the free world acting like a bunch snot-nosed, juvenile, ill-mannered children, who couldn't even get along in a playground. What a sad and sorry state of affairs. Additionally, what does this type of behavior, if we condone and encourage it, show our children, the next generation, on how to be polite and tolerant of other people's thoughts and viewpoints, and about conflict resolution?

 

it is high time to stop building walls and start building bridges. 

 

Quote

Blessed are they who mourn, 
for they shall be comforted. 

Blessed are the meek, 
for they shall inherit the earth. 

Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness, 
for they shall be satisfied. 

Blessed are the merciful, 
for they shall obtain mercy. 

Blessed are the pure of heart, 
for they shall see God. 

Blessed are the peacemakers, 
for they shall be called children of God. 

Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness, 
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." 

Gospel of St. Matthew 5:3-10

I doubt other countries are paying too much attention to the internal political bickering in the US. They have far too many issues of their own to deal with. 

 

What concerns me is the embracing of Socialism by a certain group of politicos and the people who support them. All the while Venezuela is imploding on the news before their eyes, France is now entering it's 7th month of protests against high taxes and government overreach and the impending financial failure/deepening financial crisis (.2% GDP "growth") of the EU to mention just a few. 

 

I don't think anyone here is condoning or encouraging this behavior. I know I'm pretty sick of hearing it.

Then there is the Chinese saber-rattling in the South China Sea, Russia's incursion into Ukraine, and then there is the whole hot mess that is Africa..... then there is a rush of folks at our southern border, and don't forget about the new virtual ISIS caliphate......and the hits just keep on coming.  This old tune just seemed appropriate...

With all these things going on in the world that began way before Trump took office, it would have been nice if there wasn’t a two year political witch hunt going on doing everything it could to undermine the credibility of President Trump.  The fact that this political activity of the past two years was fueled by the Democrats along with their media allies and unelected bureaucrats is really telling, and given the attacks by the Left and the media on AG Barr, it seems evident that they are quite concerned that their activities will come back to haunt them.

I don't care about which started the current finger-pointing, juvenile, schoolyard behavior. This type of behavior should not be tolerated by the American people. The affairs of government are not being accomplished with this petty, non-adult bahavior. What I do care about is the ongoing intransigence by ALL parties inside the Beltway....For the ongoing well-being of our republic, it has to stop. We are showing a very bad example for our children, our future leaders, on how to deal with conflict resolution in a progressive and positive manner.

Again, it is not all parties, it is an AG that is trying to find out what caused a political witch-hunt to be started and perpetrated for almost two years.  That is a good thing as we do not need to see a repeat of the shenanigans from the last administration.  You can simply think of it as sort of a Watergate investigation which is a great analogy to what the Obama administration did to its political opponents.

The corrosiveness and poisoning of this type of behavior has to stop somewhere. It sickens me and everything associated with its perpetuation. Ad nauseam......... finis

It should have never started back in December of 2016, but it did.  Now the only way to keep that from happening again is to root out the bad actors as if it is left alone, we are definitely doomed to repeat history.
