Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

MODERATORS
American legislatures are surprisingly civil historically speaking when compared to other legislatures. We've had TWO incidents of legislative violence (Sumner slavery incident and 6 January incident). Meanwhile, in Britain, Parliament devolves into a shouting fest every week during Prime Minister's Questions and don't forget how happy Parliament was to send people they didn't like to the gallows in the past. The French legislature did the same.
Taiwan's legislature turns into a free-for-all fistfight whenever the government presents a controversial bill. Japan's National Diet members will literally eat the paper to prevent a bill's passage.
Relieved to see that Double Dare is alive and well somewhere
I mean I guess it depends on your definition of "legislative violence", but I feel like you are forgetting a certain "states rights" incident here...
Does it?
Yeah, there're even YouTube videos about it that get hundreds of thousands of views on the regular. How many channels that feature Congress Cam can boast the same?
We have several cable channels that live stream the US Congress called C-SPAN (1-3). They’ve existed since the 90s. I think they’re also on YouTube, but I’m not sure.
People put it on to fall asleep.
Have you got an example?

Your definition of shouting is far removed from reality.
They're all literally yelling at and over each other red faced and at the top of their lungs.
What on the world is your definition of shouting?
No they aren't.
You should try actually watching the video, troll.
I did, but nice attempt at an insult. I also saw it live when it happened.
I wasn't attempting anything. You're obviously a troll.
Have a good day.
It was a poor attempt. Obviously not. You won't be missed.
We're not as bad as the other guys, so we're okay how we are?
Nonsense.
Nobody said that.
