I do wish conservatives acted with at least equal levels of alarm to a coup attempt that involved members of Congress more than how well dressed they were at the coup.


Double standards, projecting, hypocrisy, hoax conspiracies and instinctively getting revenge on people who exposes and prosecutes their childish acts where it involves criminality covers just about everything they need to righteously react to what they fallaciously see as "responding in kind" to the "treasonous acts of the radical left". In their minds whatever ethical, moral and criminal acts they commit are excusable and justifiable because "God is on their side, they are the Party of Law and Order, Family values and Individual Responsibility" no matter how they constantly prove they aren't any such thing.

@pcgeek11

You're trying to imply they agree with you that it is the end of world civilization for Fetterman to wear a hoodie and shorts. My quote was in there too. I'm telling you that on a scale of 1 to 100 of importance, with 100 being the least important, this is 101.

Again, I am not trying to speak for anyone, but I will say every single person you quoted barely gives a shit if Fetterman wears a hoodie or not. So no, they don't agree with you. And I most certainly don't.


To quote you:
"You're trying to imply they agree with you that it is the end of world civilization for Fetterman to wear a hoodie and shorts."

Why are you telling a lie about what I said?

I said nothing anywhere close to that, Nor was it implied. All of the people I quoted (even YOU) said that there should be some decorum which is what I alluded to in the OP.

Sorry about your poor comprehension.

Wouldn’t it be better to argue about literally anything else?

I'm certainly not going to continue arguing with him about whether I agree with him or not. I clarified my point, and that's that. It's a free country. Anyone is free to think as they wish. If he wants to live in La-La Land, that's his prerogative.

We all know it's faux outrage. As I, and many others, have pointed out in this thread, there are behavior 1000x worse by politicians the OP voted for that he has no problems with. Just another example of hypocrisy and faux outrage.

I do agree he should dress up in the senate. They get paid plenty and it is supposed to be a "honorable" institution. Does it change my vote on him in anyway? Not at all.

While I am not crazy about the idea, I do want them to be more productive and if a relaxed dress code allows that I am okay with it.

Mainly came here to drop this off.

Is this thread all about Fetterman and something new? Republicans have been doing this for years now...

Along with Cruz showing up for a vote like he's going for a jog last year. Here's Republican Senator Richard Burr as he departs the gallery after a vote, wearing flip flops and shorts in August 2022.”

Personally, I think they ought to wear jumpsuits adorned with their donor logos, like NASCAR drivers.

Plus .... How did they enforce an unwritten rule, then? If a Senator showed up in the chamber without a tie (or in a Grateful Dead t-shirt) what was the Sergeant-at-Arms going to do about it? There’s no book he can point to that gives him the authority to keep that senator out.

Fox News has been pushing the dress code story as part of their frothing-at-the-mouth over Fetterman. They still can’t accept that voters preferred a candidate with a physical impairment over a slimeball.

As for Fetterman ... I’m guessing that at his size he struggles to find suits to wear or just high end stuff in general that fits him. Dude is 6’8” and nearly 300 pounds.

Honestly, now that I think about it .... The House could use this change. I’m sure Matt Gaetz would feel far more at home in flip-flops, Bermuda shorts, a t-shirt that reads “If there’s grass on the field, I play ball!”, and a helmet with a straw and a beer can attached to either side.
