Scroll down to see the front pages of the Washington Post and the conservative Washington Times. I posted other front pages in the comments.
These tabloids will literally be side-by-side at newsstands all over New York City today.
The papers represent the divide in our country, although not in New York City:
Here’s an excerpt from the N.Y. Post OpEd Nancy Pelosi’s stomach-turning impeachment charade damages America : by Michael Goodwin.
It is said there are two things you should never watch being made: sausage and government budgets.
Now we can add impeachment to the list of stomach-turning sights to avoid.
The arcane rules, phony cordiality and debates over the second sentence in paragraph G of Point Six were bad enough, but the nausea meter hit the roof when Nancy Pelosi took the microphone. Wearing a funereal black dress, she stood next to a cardboard American flag and recited the Pledge of Allegiance.
I would have counted her more honest if she had pledged her allegiance to a Democratic donkey.
As the leader of a party that has marinated its mind in unadulterated hatred of President Trump, Pelosi bears unique responsibility for this calamity. She could have stopped it.
The NY Post also had an article about this:
The Daily News published an editorial of eight short paragraphs:
A righteous impeachment: Donald Trump’s misdeeds have brought this historic shame upon himself by the Daily News Editorial Board.
After referencing their disapproval of the Clinton impeachment from a 21 year old editorial as a stain they conclude this editorial with the following:
...it doesn’t help that not a single Republican had the spine to break rank and declare it disqualifying when a president invites foreign interference in the next election. Having blinded themselves to severe offenses that clearly qualify as the types of “high crimes and misdemeanors” referenced by the Founders, they then have the gall to blast the impeachment as unacceptably partisan.
Um, it’s only partisan because they themselves mindlessly, reflexively refuse to see what is obvious.
Impeachment is a statement of values. Refusing to impeach would have been its own statement, that the most powerful officeholder in the land can concoct a scheme to distort the will of Congress and strongarm a vulnerable ally to smear an American citizen, essentially to generate an in-kind campaign donation.
That’s what Republicans said in unison Wednesday. We conclude as our editorial of 21 years ago concluded: “It cannot be undone.”
.
Donald Trump has always fancied himself (pun intended) as the king of New York City where he ruled from his golden palace on the top of a skyscraper named for himself.
Now it isn’t even his official residence. We may never know whether his changing residences from New York to Florida was something he regretted. After all being king of Mar a Lago is a huge fall from being able to pretend to be king of the greatest city in the world.
My hope is that after he loses the election Melania will divorce him and win the building in the settlement. She’d hire a PR firm to help her rehabilitate her image. She’d probably not write a tell-all book, OpEds, or give interviews because even if a NDA prohibits this it might be part of the divorce agreement.
My bet is she will divorce him and within a few years have integrated herself into the New York social scene where paparazzi will be trampling each other to get photos of her at the hottest restaurants in the city to sell for publication on the “page 6” sections of both New York tabloids.
I thought that, considering some of the Daily News' front pages like with those with Trump as a clown, this one was very restrained.
