I'm a lover (of democracy), not a fighter (a 1/6 insurrectionist)!

I’d have a hard time keeping a straight face. So probably laugh and say “I’ve seen better cartoons on Saturday morning”.

I really can't imagine being in that position. They both were examples of why we have wars and no one wants to back down.

I can imagine being in Bernie's position though I'm not sure I'd handle it as well. I thought Bernie handled the situation perfectly.

Watching Markiewayne, in the middle of threatening physical violence, sit down after getting yelled at by Bernie cracked me up. I half expected Bernie to say; “You’re a United States Senator. Sit down and use your words or so help me mister, you’ll be eating your lunch on the bench in the hallway outside the Senate dining room for a week and everybody will see!”

I'm afraid I would have at least stood, and only then thought, "What the hell am I doing?"
