He should wear a tie over a vee neck just to fuck with them
I think there is some value in dressing nice and decorum. The same way we dress nice for family dinner or wear business casual to work even though there might be no dress code, it shows respect. That being said, if anyone is outraged at this then they completely lost the track. We're long way past the point of caring about "decorum" in the senate. Dressing nice is like that nice little cherry on top of the sundae, it does not fucking matter if the sundae is made of literal shit.
The same way we dress nice for family dinner
You and I have entirely different families.
Wear business casual to work even though there might be no dress code
You are a very strange person
Like I said, it's ridiculous for them to cry crocodile tears over a guy in a hoodie when they wave away the fact that the whole building was sacked by a horde of magats. If there was any sign at all that they respected any of our country's institutions, then they could possibly be taken seriously on this. (But not likely.)
I just think it's interesting that the previous dress code was so much more restrictive for men than for women.
Men had one and only one choice: a suit and tie.
Women could wear suits (also called "pantsuits" for some odd reason -- why not call the alternative a "skirtsuit?"), they could wear dresses with short or long sleeves, they could wear skirts, just not miniskirts. The jacket was optional, although many women wore one. They could wear flat shoes or high heels.
In terms of colours, men had to wear dark colours. Women could wear red, maroon, checked patterns, the variations were huge. They could wear ties, but they didn't have to. Many wore necklaces instead, often with an open-necked shirt. Can you imagine a man being allowed to wear an open-necked shirt, no tie and chains?
I just hate suits and ties. I think they look stupid, and hate that that look is associated with "business wear" for men. If the Senate does go back to having a dress code, men should have as many options as women for a "professional" look that doesn't include suits. (And yes, open necked shirts with chains should be part of that.)
I don't care about the stroke. Run for president bruh.
I love it. Hah hah hah
I bet you Biden is just itching to get into his normal attire: a cut-off Van Halen t-shirt, skin-tight jeans to show off the hog leg, and an Italian horn necklace.
I'd love to see him and Fetterman roll into Sheetz late at night in Biden's Stingray blasting Journey
Republicans prefer those in the Senate chamber to wear fur and horns.
Mf looks like a circus strongman with that tash. Not even sure they make suits that size.
He needs to stop skipping leg day!
Decorum rules are so fucking unhelpful. Its shocking how un-American our reps. are. We need more Fettermans.
Not pictured: Mitt Romney choking on his milk.
Shoulda showed up in a tan suit and blown their damned minds.
I think this is fine. I understand why rules of formality exist, but it's not like Congress shows decorum in its actions. If they want us to respect it, they should pass good policy that helps people, we care much more about that than whether individual senators wear a suit.
He presides OVER most everybody!
