A post from another site I'm on. I couldn't agree more with the gal...

Duels in the Missouri Senate? Yep. Read on…
The Missouri Republican Party is in shambles, specifically the Senate. They have broken off into 2 factions.
You have the traditional Republican caucus that filed bills putting guns in schools, churches, bars, & polling places; criminalize women for abortions (even when the life of the mother is at risk); defund public schools and transfer those public funds to private religious schools; defund public libraries; end citizen petitions… Yes, these are all bills they have filed.
Then you have the newly formed “freedom caucus.” They feel the traditional Republican caucus are democrats in disguise. This faction has publicly stated that they will block all legislation, debate, and governor appointments until everyone does things their way. Because of this, several Republican senators have been removed from their committee chairmanship, and the Senate has been at a standstill for 3 weeks.
Fast forward to tonight. Republican State Senator/freedom caucus member Nick Schroer (St. Charles) proposed a new Senate rule allowing Senators to duel with the weapon of their choice in the Senate Chamber to “rectify an insult.”
I say this with complete, heartfelt sincerity. Stop fucking electing Republicans. Stop supporting organizations who fund their campaigns. They are a fucking joke and there are no adults in the room.

You just can't make this stuff up, can you? I think I'll put this in the hopper for a future Ass Clown Award.
Bill - Well deserved too.
Our tax dollars at work. Sigh.....
They have gone off the deep end.
That last paragraph sums it up.
Kathy - Where did all our moderates go?
Lady - And then WAY down in the muddy bottom.
