Fetterman Presides Over Senate Wearing Short-Sleeve Shirt, No Tie, And Shorts

He can do it in a bikini, for all I care. Let’s not pretend Congress stands on decorum now.

“If those jagoffs in the House stop trying to shut our government down, and fully support Ukraine, then I will save democracy by wearing a suit on the Senate floor next week.”

Lol, go git em Fetterman

This is a losing issue for Republicans.

Do they think their base gives a shit about dress codes? Obviously not! But the fancy lads can't stand the thought of people not dressing correctly lol

"we must protect the sanctity of that place at all costs"

I fucking refuse to hear Republicans speak of sanctity after the shit they've pulled since 2015.

...Why are we allowing Daily Wire here?

As she looked up from the crotch of the man she was manually ejaculating in public, Ms. Boebert was quoted as saying, "shorts is so bad, it's such disrespectful to the government and stuff".

I'm just here to upvote the phrase 'trailer-park visigoths'. Carry on.

I don’t give a fuck. What are we doing about the worthless traitor filth who salivate at the thought of installing a dictator?

Destroying Democracy = A-okay!

Not wearing a suit = Unimaginably evil!

Why do people care what they wear when congress is fucking us over regardless?

So what, Ted Cruz is usually wearing a bodysuit out of human skin and nobody bats an eye.

Let's go back to powdered wigs, knickers and coat tails. I'm sure Mitch McConnel remembers those.

well, Obama once wore a beige suit 😯

Disgusting.

How could Schumer let somebody who OBVIOUSLY skips leg day preside over the senate?

What kind of example is he setting for the kids? How can I be expected to get my son to pound out squats to exhaustion before school if THIS is supposed to be a role model?

Dailywire is absolute trash anyway

The Daily Wire is doing fashion coverage now?

So what? As long as he is decent I don't see any issue.

I get that this guy rolls how he wants to roll but I just wish someone would buy him clothes that fit. They can be cool clothes, shorts and whatever, put on a hoodie, that's all rad but just make it fit

I get making the dress code more lax, no reason business casual should be unacceptable. And yeah, Republicunts are hypocrits as always. But are we sure about no dress code at all? People joke in this thread about congressfolks showing up in fursuits or banana slings, but how long is it until someone actually unironically tries that?

They are angry they didn't think of it first and some working class people could be thinking hmmm this guy dresses like me maybe he isn't so bad like republicans say.

Well shoot, if this keeps up they might have to start trying to judge people by the content of their character instead of just their virtue signaling. Do you know how fast the system would fall apart if voters actually had to figure out what kind of person their representatives were?

Elect me to congress and I'll show up to the first session after my swearing-in wearing a $10,000 full-body fursuit, and I'll use my own money to buy it, not a single cent of taxpayer funding required.

I'm surprised nobody showed up as a furry, or at the very least Boebert in a banana sling.

Let's show some guts damnit

This is wonderful. That being said, why are we linking to The Daily Wire?

Okay. I have to say, I don't like the idea of making the US Senate more casual. Fetterman should be wearing a shirt and pants.

However, as far as I understand, this is still the Republicans fault for not being able to agree on what the wording of the rule regarding what clothing is appropriate. So if they don't like Fetterman's outfits, they still have themselves to blame here.

Probably an unpopular opinion but I stand by it.

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.

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.

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!

How about we compromise and just have casual capitol Fridays?

Or we go full-bore with robes and wigs like we used to.

Love it. Only thing better would have been him holding a can of beer as he walked in.

Lookin like he just lost everyones mail

they don't want to be seen in their prison stripes. alway projection. should remove their 'Honorable' title

Vicodin Visigoths.

And the world immediately stopped turning.

This dude fucks.

That moustache is gorgeous

I don’t care if he’s naked, if he’s fighting to help the people of this country!

I'll support Senators not having a dress code when there isn't one for anyone else working in Congress...

Cool.

The rule change seems like the Dems version of “owning the libs”. Especially since staff of senate are required to dress in suit & tie.

Whats up with the mask, though? I guess we should ban disguises that would interfere with identifying congress members.

Not my favorite form of protest, but whatevs. I’d rather this than the usual MO of destroying America in a suit.

Is there an actual reason he can’t wear a suit, though?

Wait, Fedderman is a Republican?

Wow he's so relatable!!!! Such a heckin wholesome reddit moment

Why is this where Fetterman draws a line in the sand? Aren't there more important things to cash in his reputation points on? Or does he think this makes him look "populist" among "elites"? There are real serious issues to deal with, so this is a distraction.

what a scumbag
