    One is a senator, one is the president of the teamsters. There’s a bit of difference there. That’s not to mention one was summoned there and the other one works there. Sure, a physical fight is “silly”, but it’s only beneath one of their job positions.

      What difference is that, exactly? They’re both human adults. For the purposes of this conversation, that’s all that matters. No one should be challenging anyone else to fist-fights. They’re both children.

      it’s only beneath one of their job positions.

      Totally okay for a union President to challenge a sitting US senator to a fist-fight. Okay. Sure. That makes a ton of sense.
