Before the civil war, one senator almost caned another to death in the senate, and the assailant was fined ~10 000 dollars and continued serving as a senator.

The politics of the 21st century is the most civil it has been in human history.

It's good to see that insane old people being shitty to one another is not isolated to one side of the political aisle. All of god's children are terrible.

Dechert continued to scream wildly about the climate change “scam” while Haden-Guest peppered him with verbal volleys from across the table, calling him variously “f–king insane” and “insignificant.”
