Americans Politics Hits a New Low

Washington Post: “A hearing that was supposed to bring clarity instead erupted in thunderclaps from the nation’s built-up tensions over how the sexes are supposed to behave with each other. Judge Brett Kavanaugh and the woman who accused him of sexually assaulting her came ­before the Senate Judiciary Committee in ‘the wrong town at the wrong time,’ as Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) put it.”

“The result was affirmation that Washington is as broken as it has ever been. Based on what the senators in the room said, the result was, once again, people hearing mostly what they were inclined to believe. The result, far from clarity, was a complex rush of emotions adding up to two families left in wreckage and a political system without even a pathway to cooperation.”

“The day ended with discord bordering on dark visions of a hopeless future.”
