Today, BBC broadcast video or brawls in the Parliaments of Armenia, Taiwan, Turkey and Ukraine.

In other news, a Maori member of the New Zealand Parliament was escorted out after performing a haka (war dance) during a rousing debate.

Thankfully, North American politics are comparatively boring.

Seem to remember the Italians getting pretty punchy at one point.
In a lot of ways, at least they are being honest about it.

I think the primary target of the mob was Trump's own  Vice President. You know, the one who refused to aid & abet the coup attempt.

I am anti-insurrection, but I would totally be down with the representatives fighting *each other* in a MLB styled bench clearing brawl.

Back in 2012, Canadian Liberal Justin Trudeau won an amateur show boxing match against Conservative Senator Brazeau. Brazeau dominated the first round by closing the distance and pummeling his opponent. But Trudeau used his 3 inch longer reach to pummel Brazeau during the second and third rounds. Monday morning, Brazeau suffered the humiliation of a haircut.
