Dedicated Follower Of Fashion
By Mitch Berg
The US Senate just changed its dress code, to allow Senator Fetterman to wear his trademark slovenly hoodies:
Now, other than the traditional case of “showing respect for the seriousness of the job you’ve [oh, Lord, we’re talking about Fetterman, aren’t we?] entrusted with”, I don’t care all that much about dress codes. But that respect is kind of important – and slowing the collapse of that respect, for the Senate and all institutions, is a pretty important mission these days.
But that’s another post.
At any rate – when the Democrat caucus says “Jiump”, Tina Smith is there to say “off what, and how high?”
If Senator Fetterman starts urinating on the plinths around the Capitol [1], Smith will be there to dismiss social norms on bladder control as “patriarchy”.

My thought is that Schumer needs Fetterman’s votes, and he knows very well that due to his stroke and years of poor living, Fetterman cannot easily button a shirt or tie a tie. He therefore needs to have pull-on clothes (like Senator Collins’ bikini?) be acceptable on Capitol Hill.

See? Just look how Democommies stick together. They understand the first rule of political power: stick together.

Total bullshit, of course, everyone other than Senators has to adhere to the dress code in the senatorial chambers — pages, witnesses, etc. Smith knows this, she has just sold her soul to the devil. She is eager to be the fashion police for everyone other than her peers.

Just when did we drive the country off the cliff?

Can’t find it now but I recall a comment that the J6 protesters ‘disturbed the dignity of the Senate’ or words to that effect.
Seems to me the Senate is doing away with its own dignity.

I played Dungeons and Dragons in college. Never thought I’d see it in real life but we have a Zombie in the White House and a shuffling Ogre in the Senate (don’t even get me started on assorted fairies and various undead).
Wish I still had my plus-6 magic sword.

I think Fetterman is simply mirroring the environment in the Capital of Weimerica. I applaud his slovenly attire, his refusal to pretend the US Senate, or any other federal institution is in any way a serious deliberative body, or worthy of any kind of respect at all.
Y’all have forgotten the kenti cloth kneeling session? Trannies shaking their naked silicone skin bags on the White House lawn? MTG showing dick pics in the House of Reprobates? Gerald Nadler shitting his pants at a news conference? Faggots sleeping (ha!) in Lincolns bed?
Please.
I think Uncle Festerman represents his constituents perfectly and encourage him to urinate where and when he pleases. I’d love to join him for a pissing contest in the rotunda, as a matter of fact.

This is political in more ways then one.
The Dems need Fetterman’s vote and he is mentally ill (depression, strokes, etc.). This is why senate Dems are appeasing Fetterman.
GOP senators should should show up wearing their own “Uncle Fester” costumes to the senate everyday until this bullshit stops.

^^ The Senate dress code is what is keeping you up at night? You may need to rethink some things.
Remember when the nation collapsed and World War III started when Obama wore a tan suit? No? I didn’t think so.

So …. MTG displaying dick pics is acceptable?

Only if she shows them to gradeschoolers.
Then it’s respecting and promoting transgender awareness.

The troll is trying his “change the subject” ploy.

Sartorial whataboutism.….

Fetterman is the modern Incitatus.
