'Shock collars?' Commission on Presidential Debates plans to use 'additional tools to maintain order' at upcoming debates

Apparently Donald Trump and Joe Biden’s performances last night made quite an impression on the Commission on Presidential Debates:

True story.

The Commission on Presidential Debates says it is considering additional structure for future debates to “ensure a more orderly discussion.”

It also says that future moderators will have “additional tools to maintain order.” pic.twitter.com/jlHQ6pDP83

"Additional tools to maintain order" is quite a phrase. https://t.co/a1SFNcehbG

going forward, debate moderators will have their choice of a trapdoor, hounds, a gong, or a cattle prod. https://t.co/oaYxtTSVYd

My grandmother uses a spray bottle filled with vinegar to discipline her jack russell terrier when he acts up. Perhaps that could be effective on politicians as well? https://t.co/fGfwNBLGAb
