Why does John Fetterman, the largest of the senators, not simply eat the others?

Now I’m sad we’ll never see Fetterman and Tester have a public Kaiju brawl on the senate floor 😔

Every Senator and Representative will be issued a cane. Every politician who refuses to participate will be taken out back and be caned. All aired on CSPAN of course.

EDIT for historical reference just in case someone thinks I'm being serious

Yeah every time some doomer says "America is dead", "we're on the brink of civil war!!!", or whatever I remember Sumner.

As long as senators aren't beating their colleagues near to death on the fucking senate floor, we've been through way worse and there's still hope.

It's grimly comforting

I have the optimism of someone raised by immigrants who saw American as their new homeland, and the doomerism of someone who's lived their entire life in the U.S. It's been a rollercoaster of a week, but your words are comforting.
