Meanwhile, in Britain, Parliament devolves into a shouting fest every week during Prime Minister’s Questions

Does it?

Yeah, there're even YouTube videos about it that get hundreds of thousands of views on the regular. How many channels that feature Congress Cam can boast the same?

We have several cable channels that live stream the US Congress called C-SPAN (1-3). They’ve existed since the 90s. I think they’re also on YouTube, but I’m not sure.

People put it on to fall asleep.

Have you got an example?

Your definition of shouting is far removed from reality.

They're all literally yelling at and over each other red faced and at the top of their lungs.

What on the world is your definition of shouting?

No they aren't.

You should try actually watching the video, troll.

I did, but nice attempt at an insult. I also saw it live when it happened.

I wasn't attempting anything. You're obviously a troll.
Have a good day.

It was a poor attempt. Obviously not. You won't be missed.
