We now seem to be at a place where neither side will trust the other.

We've been there for decades; it's only in the last 3 years that it's become an open battlefield.

That seems to be true and fits with my memories.

It's been this way ever since Nancy became speaker of the house many years ago

You might want to do a little fact checking on that bit of selective memory.

Her most recent term only started in 2019. There was this guy named Boehner (R) who served as Speaker for 3 terms before her. She only had 2 terms before Boehner. That's the full extent of her time as Speaker. Before her it was Hastert (R) for 4 terms.

The most powerful elected US Democrat, Nancy Pelosi, has visited a hair salon in San Francisco, breaking rules that only allow service outdoors, in order to control the spread of coronavirus.

Ms Pelosi was also seen with a face mask around her neck rather than over her mouth. She has criticised President Donald Trump for not wearing a mask.

A spokesman said she did not realise she was breaking her home city's rules.

The current level of acrimony began under Dick Armey back in 95. As the number 2 position in congress he was famous/infamous for pushing ideological purity (so much for a "big tent") and often engaged in potty mouth "slip of the tongue" utterances with his perceived "enemies". The true prototype for the current occupant of the White House with the exception that he actually had core ideological values that went beyond his own personal interest.

If Trump is not reelected you'll never hear another word about covid 19

Such never ending BS - take your meds and a nice nap.

So tell us Marty.....do you have any other traits beside being rude and arrogant?

He helps keep people healthy ( = he knows medical stuff .)

Thanks; I have tried and continue to try despite the failures of others.

As for traits, I have no positive traits other than being interminably cute and as well as being the Devil in my spare time. There was an opening, I applied, and got the job part-time on every other Wed.

For the critics:

O

All admirable traits, but it's not a license to act like a jerk.

Maybe he's at-play.

Nah........... I got a haircut so I could look even cuter.

Before her it was Hastert (R) for 4 terms.

And Hastert turned out to have been a serial child molester:
