There are a bunch of soft parallels between what happened on the Senate floor in 1856 and what happened between Crockett and Greene (along with AOC’s involvement). We also know what happened just a few years after the Sumner incident.

There was a deciding lack of “knock the frick out of someone” in yesterday’s issue.

Sumner was permanently fricked up and took it out on the south in Reconstruction.

That’s why I called them soft parallels. The issues are different, but the division and ever growing hatred are the same. I wouldn’t be surprised by some physical violence in Congress fairly soon.

I don’t think most members of Congress could whip cream with an outboard motor.


The average Dem is either 80 or a gigantic pussy. Or both like Bernie.

I would love to see it. Heck, the MSM (Lying media) could turn it into Pay Per View programming. A select few ot the elected are nothing but actors anyway in the drama called "DC".

It would make CSPAN into must see TV like parliament in places like Singapore and South Korea are.

Surprised we never got anything like that out of Japan despite wrestlers like Antonio Inoki and Great Sasuke being elected to the Japanese Diet.
