There IS no longer any dress code.


So he's the Bill Belichick of Congress? Seems like the hoodie should at least have a donkey on it or something to meet the league minimum.

Business attire should be expected and required.

Why change? They should be wearing powered wigs and knee breeches.



Yeah, British Parliament only recently broke a 300-year requirement of wigs. I am good with adjusting the cultural norm with the times. That said, I think a hoodie is well outside what is considered decorum and dignity for the upper house. Simply put, it is slovenly, and any attempt to justify it by claiming a handicap accommodation is lame and offense to the truly handicapped.. Stephen Hawking dressed better than John Fetterman.

If I had to sit in the Capital all day I would probably get severe swamp ass.

Every time I see that sloppy Fetterman, I think he has a high number of neanderthal genes or something. He just doesn't look right. And the IQ of one.

Neanderthals are now thought to have interbred with humans/be part of our genetic ancestry (at least for those of European descent).

I have seen teens at my son's high school wearing jean pants that really look like short shorts they are so torn and tattered.

When I was a kid I didn't want to wear jeans with the slightest rip because it meant we were poor.

Not so today.

In describing the current state of affairs and how elites are asymmetrically acting towards the middle class versus lower classes, Victor Davis Hanson gives an old explanation: "they romanticize the poor."

Theodore Dalrymple (Anthony Malcolm Daniels) put it this way,

Quote:

He was under the influence of the idea that some aspects of reality are more real than others: that the seedy side of life is more genuine, more authentic, than the refined and cultured side and certainly more glamorous than the bourgeois and respectable side. This idea could be said to be the fundamental premise of modern popular culture.


Dressing like a slob is more authentic.

Who didn't see this coming? When dressing up to go eat means you put on your finest magellan, you're as guilty as Fetterman of contributing to this slobification of the country.

All the GOP members should show up one day wearing oversized shorts and hoodies to make a complete mockery of the rule.

honestly, senate dress codes are rearranging deck chairs on a sinking Titanic.

Yeah, it would be nice if they were in order, but doesn't really matter at this point.

It's a very democrat action this. Don't hold up historical and traditional standards and instead replace those with new standards generally consider the lowest level possible.

Senator Collins said she was going to go into the chamber wearing a bikini. She was joking, but that was definitely an image I didn't need.

It's not about Fetterman wearing gym shorts. It's about Schumer wearing a hoodie.

My question is why are they bending over backwards to accommodate Fetterman? The man's already a basket case in the head why would they go this far? Just a defend this one jerk?

Is it because he said "mental problems" and they're trying to show how caring they are?

I just don't understand this at all.

Easy: Cultural replacement.

The left wants to replace old rules with new ones. So they create new rules such as cancel mobs for "misgendering" while tearing down the preceding era's standards (like dress codes and modesty).

They may pretend it's about empathy, but show up to a woman's march without a surgical mask and ***** hat & you'll find out quickly that they like to enforce dress codes… when they align with the left's interests. Traditional dress clothing seems conservative so 'tear it down, comrade!'

I had forgotten about this. He should totally show up in a skin suit that looks like this.

I hope Cruz trolls libs by showing up in cargo shorts, flip flops, Hawaii shirt, & sombrero while carrying a margarita.
Of all the Senators, he would be the one most likely to do this. And it would be awesome.

I personally believe in the dress code, but the fact that people are focused on this instead of actual laws and policy is part of the reason why we can't have nice things.
Oh we have some nice things, we are just 32 trillion dollars in debt because of them

I would assume I'm in the minority and possibly with the leftists but for different reasons, but I don't care how our "leaders" dress. I just want conservative policy enacted and that's it.
This is democrats lowering standards again. And we continue to be indifferent.

They have destroyed the family. They have destroyed our education system. They have destroyed our reputation in the world. They have destroyed our currency. They have destroyed our work ethic. They have destroyed sectors of our economy. They have destroyed our voting system. They have destroyed our national sovereignty. They have destroyed the rule of law. They have destroyed our sense of morality. They have destroyed our decorum.

They are destroying the private sector. They are destroying the Constitution.

There has always been an exception to the rule - it was intended for people who just traveled in or had just left the gym - that you could have one foot on the "floor" and one in the cloakroom so they could vote.

It was never intended to be the rule - the fact that Fetterman doesn't have enough self respect, or respect for the office, as a grown ass man to not walk around in shorts and a hoodie tells me he has no place in Congress.

Chuckie is a clown for changing the rules to accommodate Fetterman.

And yes, I do care how people dress in that situation. Show some self-respect, respect for others, and respect for the job.
