The candid reviews of the new rules, which went into effect Monday, even included mockery from Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, who joked to reporters that she planned to “wear a bikini” on Tuesday.

    I think Senators should yell at each other like they do in the UK and (I assume) Australia. Representatives can take it even further and have straight-up food fights.

    Fake appeals to decorum and “dignity” went out the fucking window in 2016. Let’s just be honest about where everyone stands and what they want. The genie ain’t going back into the bottle!

      You assume correctly. Senate Estimates is usually a bit more dignified than Question Time in the House of Representatives though. QT is just a straight up circus with the way the opposition behaves.
