When people complain about a recent lack of decorum and civility in Congress, I remind them of the Brooks-Sumner Affair, when in 1856 Southern Democrat Senator Preston Brooks snuck up behind Republican Abolitionist Charles Sumner on the Senate floor and beat him with his cane, nearly killing him. Decorum, indeed.
Oh, the good ole days! At least people were open with their aggression back then, unlike the passive-aggressives that rule the government halls these days.
All apologies for all the typos in the original version. They have since been remedied.

A real gentlemen's disagreement!
Also, the whole Aaron Burr shooting Alexander Hamilton thing

All of this is true, but still Fetterman is a walking eyesore and something needs to be done.
Loved "Something needs to be done. "
Looks like Congress did too. At least they did something about it
If they would listen to me all the time I could fix this ness in a great big hurry....
Fetterman and Hunter should get together and open a drug den in the whitehouse. Oh, wait....
My suggestion would be Anthony Hopkins' getup in Silence of The Lambs.
You may find your second suggestion is already de rigeur for the blob at the weekend or at parties... Casual Friday nights...
And Fetterman is jab dead, that's someone else... Hence the theatre.
Absolutely LOVE the sponsor patches idea.
"I have seen the face of G-d"
#1 definitely!
#2 no! We already have that shit in our schools.
thanks, Ben.. I never heard those metaphors before. somebody needs to do the sponsor version for real. a lot of it is public info. come on meme'ers!
