    “… The only thing that would make him better would be a baseball bat.” That’s how I expected that sentence to end. I have no idea why but I think it still makes sense!

      People used to get beat in congress; Charles Sumner famously got beat unconscious by Preston Brooks in the run up to the US Civil War

      fistfights occasionally happen in other parliaments; a big one in Taiwan comes to mind.

      Kinda like an enforcer on a hockey team, so too do we need Fetterman to carry a bat.
