So, fuckwad Fetterman can dress like a gang-banger while making "important" speeches and voting.

What are they trying to divert our attention from this time?

Yes, the rules have been changed to accommodate this retard:



And it is reported the Senate staff members must still adhere to the original dress code of business attire.

If this diverts your attention then turn up the gain on your attention.

This is trivia. It is unseemly, and I do not approve, but it doesn't matter. We should not let it "divert" us.

Fetterman was really good in that movie with Dwight Yoakam and John Ritter.

I preferred him in The Goonies. He was also far more likable...

Clown attire should be required for both Houses at this point.

I hate to ask what is next-yoga pants for women or the men if inclined,etc.? We are headed for Idiocracy and losing the republic.

This is not a diversion.

What it is, is sad. It's a sad day that this adolescent jackass Fetterman caused this, with his complete lack of decorum. He's worse than worthless. His presence in the Senate is damaging. This is the only thing he's accomplished and it will remain so.

The voters of Pennsylvania should hide their faces in shame. This fucking clown is an embarrassment to the nation, and that's being kind about it.

Truly, a sad day. Centuries of proper dress and formality appropriate for the office, and all of it is crapped upon and thrown away, all because of this fucking joke of a human being. Calling him low-class trash doesn't even begin to cover it.

There’s no way this vegetable won legitimately

The Democrats ballot harvested the SHIT out of this entire state and many people voted early way before all the issues with him came to light.

Fetterman’s people refused to let him debate Oz until like two days before the election, and then could not even be bothered to air it on local TV in the Philadelphia region; the major voting region of the entire state. I had to stream it, but it was purposefully not aired on regular TV because they didn’t want the voters to see this vegetable babble and get destroyed by Oz, which he was.

The whole thing is sickening. And yes, I am beyond embarrassed.

Those that voted for that walking science experiment don’t do shame. Or ever admit they were wrong. Fetterman’s non fraudulent voters are either blindly party loyal or low information yet paradoxically smug types that think their voting choices are politically astute and don’t ever connect their choices with the degradation of their living conditions or government institutions.

Forgive my ignorance, but I have been avoiding news and politics for a while to keep my blood pressure in check.

Why have dress code rules been changed for this guy? Don’t even know who he is. Guess I need to do a Google search, but figured I would ask here.

I predict we'll see that within a month.

"Why" is a very good question. This is nuts.

In my opinion, this whole thing just further illustrates the contempt that politicians hold for We The People. Changing the rules to allow Fetterman to be a slob is just ridiculous. Respect for the offices they hold is gone. Respect for [we] the people who pay their salaries is gone. This is nothing but disrespectful. And I don't mean that as doom-and-gloom, I mean it as a pure statement. Don't we pay these people something over $170k a year? Surely they can afford decent clothing with that money. Heck, for that money they can pay someone to help them dress, too -- just in case Fetterman can't handle anything more complicated that a pullover sweatshirt, elastic-waisted shorts, and Velcro shoes. It's disrespectful, period. As Para said, a complete lack of decorum. If you're wearing gym shorts and a hoodie to work, then you'd better be in the physical fitness business. Otherwise, dress respectfully of your job and your employer. I'm allowed to wear shorts and a t-shirt to work if I want to, but I make darned sure to not wear my yard-work shorts or my offensive t-shirts, out of respect for my employer and potential visitors.

This idea of "we can wear whatever we want to on the floor while [attempting to look like] we're doing the country's business, but YOU have to dress up if you come to spectate on it" is nothing but nose-thumbing elitism. What the heck, man??

As an aside, I wonder if Carhartt eats this Fetterman guy up, or cringes to see him broadcasting their logo all the time. Similarly, I wonder what Ray-Ban thinks of the Big Guy and his son constantly flaunting their logo about.

I have a tough time believing that anyone who has even the slightest amount of political consciousness doesn't know who the Senator from Pennsylvania is. And of course I'm not referring to Bob Casey.

So the rest of the ENTIRE Senate sinks to this retard’s Lowest Common Denominator level instead of requiring the ONE idiot to raise HIS standards???? Doesn’t that fucking MORON know how to put on pants and a shirt? What a fucked up, upside down world in which we live. JSMFH…

This blows my mind. Yes, this will make America look even weaker if our “leaders” start dressing however they feel when doing business representing the country. When I have to testify in court, I MUST wear a full suit. I hate wearing a suit and there is no option of wearing a uniform or anything else. You will wear a suit or find another job and I agree 100%.

Yup, I honestly have no clue who the guy is.

Just another chip away of the rock of common decency and decorum and all for that tard Fetterman.

He was the mayor of an abjectly shitty little PA town that was even shittier when he left it than when he found it. In fairness, it wasn't really "his town." He allegedly moved there with an eye towards running for local office, and his family money could buy the election there.

Then he ran for Lieutenant Governor, and because 90% of the state neither a) knew or cared what the Lieutenant Governor actually does, or b) knew who the hell this Fetterman guy was, but c) knew he had a "D" next to his name, Philadelphia and the suburbs (along with Allegheny County, Dauphin County, and Lackawanna County) carried him to the Lieutenant Governor's mansion. Once there, he managed to fuck up what is LITERALLY that office's only regular/recurring job, presiding over and voting in State Parole Board hearings. There was no such thing as a murderer he didn't vote to parole.

Then he ran for Senate, and even though he was a no-show vegetable in that campaign, the "D" after his name carried him again. Because-- yes, really-- in any PA race where two largely unqualified candidates vie for a statewide slot, the unqualified Democrat wins every time. Thank the Democrat bastions listed above for that. Pennsylvania should be solidly red in any statewisde elections, except that Republicans refuse to get out and vote if a candidate isn't a Goldilocks-style perfect "just right" guy, so the Fettermans of the world win by default.

So we in PA get to wait for Fetterman to finally expire or resign or be otherwise removed. And then, because the same election that gave us Senator Fetterman also gave us Governor Shapiro and a Democrat majority in the state House, the appointed interim replacement will be even more wildly left that Fetterman.

Shorter version? PA Republicans suck at voting, and now the nation gets to reap the whirlwind.

Lowest common denominator.

You know how to use a search engine, don't you? There's no reason you cannot type this guy's name into a search engine and become informed in less than three minutes.

Why would you not research this on your own, when it is so very simple to do?

I don't have much patience for stuff like this. I expect members to exhibit common sense, and when you have a computer at your disposal, it is common sense to use that computer to find out things.

Three minutes, at the outside; more like two minutes or less, and you could have the answer. Next time, please exhibit a bit of initiative.
