The candid reviews of the new rules, which went into effect Monday, even included mockery from Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, who joked to reporters that she planned to “wear a bikini” on Tuesday.

      Nah. You can’t blame this one on boomers. It’s fascism.

      Fascists just love uniforms! Want to get them all excited? Tell them you want to plan a military parade where everyone has to wear their fanciest dress uniforms and march alongside tanks!

            true normal people see Russia and wonder, “why don’t we have a victory day parade where we have our soldiers goose step in unison?”

            Absolutely! I can’t stand the annoying video essayist lefties and all that. I mean, I’m a leftie but I watch real shit. Vice, Renegade Cut, Vaush. Miss me with that 4 hour long video about how twitter bullied you.

    Feel free to do it. You’ll freeze your ass off and be the laughing stock of the country.

    Can’t wear hoodies and shorts but crickets about giving handjobs and vaping around children

      They are. If Trump stands, it’ll be a big victory for Biden, because Trump has made himself unelectable for swing voters.

      Over here, the tories are heading for a wipeout. They’ve been telling us their shit smelled like roses, and it worked, up until it didn’t.

    Hey…If she wants to wear a bikini, who am I to tell her no? Go for it. Unless of course, she doesn’t actually want to and is just being intentionally obtuse like a old judgmental cunt.

    I mean, in fairness, have you seen how Fetterman fits into a suit and tie? He makes anything look like a hoodie and shorts. I don’t mean that as a perjorative, they just don’t make suits his size unless you want your Senator buying $5,000 tailored suits. Or worse… getting $5,000 tailored suits donated to them from special interests.

    I think they should all be nude. Both the house and the senate. I’m serious about that. People can joke about shriveled dicks and sagging breasts but eliminating clothing altogether would help to eliminate a lot of the partisan nonsense

    Literally championing style over substance.

    Suits are costumes. The point is to make people look classy and dignified even if they’re actually skeevy assholes.

    Genuinely classy and dignified people look it no matter what they’re wearing.

    As much as I love Fetterman, I’m with the Republicans on this one. It’s the same reason you can’t curse in court, you have to stand up at the appropriate times and outwardly agree to show seriousness for the proceedings, etc: We’re here for a super important reason. Whole people’s lives will be changed based on what we do here. Take it seriously or GTFO.

    I get that Fetterman is huge and wearing a nice suit every day would genuinely be a hardship for him, but there has to be some kind of solution that doesn’t step us one step closer to fistfights and drunk congresspeople on the floor. I don’t think MTG should be able to yell and be generally awful, I think Boebert should get in some sort of trouble that a private citizen wouldn’t get in for being publicly a drunken tramp, and I think everyone in congress should still have to wear suits. It’s important, take it seriously.

      Not at 250k a year with free healthcare. Tailored suits don’t cost that much unless you’re a snob about them.

        Not a financial hardship; I talked about that in some other message. I meant a physical hardship. Dude is basically a bear. I’m sure sweats are more comfortable for him unless he invests part-time-job level energy into finding good suits.

          Dude can afford a breathable suit.

          Showing up in a hoodie when you’re making 250k to work 100 days of the year is disrespectful as fuck.
