Hopefully this Congress won’t match that level of acting out! But in terms of verbal abuse, they are making history.

I totally agree with you, Ev. Not to mention that we are becoming a laughing-stock all over the world for our goverment’s factionalized gridlock. The bad guys are starting to feel they don’t need to be afraid of us any more. Think about that.

Nevertheless, I have to point out that things have been worse in Congress, like before the Civil War, when Charles Sumner was beaten almost to death on the floor of the Senate by a Southern Senator who disagreed with his anti-slavery stance. Compared with many other countries, we have less politically motivated violence in the US. Let other countries who think we are gun-crazy gangstahs think about that!
