The Senate chucks its unwritten dress code. Bring on the gym shorts!
Washington Post ^ | 09/19/2023 | Herb Scribner, Ashley Fetters Maloy

Breaking news relevant to only 100 Americans: The U.S. Senate will no longer enforce its dress code for members.

Is this yet another sign of constitutional decadence, or is it a step into modernity for the fusty, antiquated chamber? Either way, it’s the best news ever for Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.), who would prefer to do business while looking like he’s on a Saturday-morning jog.

Lowering the bar is the new American way. Working out well for our kids and credit seeking deadbeats…..Lets hook up brain damaged scrubs.

What you'll get is John Fetterman wearing whatever his stroke-addled brain decides to put on.

To reflect their standards and behavior, members of Congress should be required to wear clown suits.

I think Richard Brookheiser wrote, decades ago, that American men now dress like adolescent boys. No longer do men wear adult hats and slacks. Instead, you often see American men in shorts, t-shirts, and baseball caps. Which, in the 1950s, were only worn by boys.

My son is up in DC atm with 300 others at a “meet-and-greet”.

I asked him if he was going to meet any Reps in gym shorts and hoodies.
