Senator Nick Schroer put a motion to the state's Senate to adopt a rule change allowing state politicians to settle grievances through physicality.
His proposed amendment was posted on X, formerly Twitter, by Missouri Senate Democrats. It read: "If a senator's honor is impugned by another senator to the point that it is beyond repair and in order for the offended senator to gain satisfaction, such senator may rectify the perceived insult to the senator's honor by challenging the offending senator to a duel.

Like clockwork nay, more reliably than clockwork another anti-drag republican has had their past drag entertainment experience dredged up from the depths. One might think that these queerphobic legislators would be tired of stepping directly on rakes, yet they stride confidently ever-forward.
