A damn shame he didn’t go full My Cousin Vinny
Republicans are more concerned with dress code and fake impeachment than keeping the government open.
I get what you’re saying here … but:
This is the Senate. The “impeachment inquiry” (with the strongest fucking air quotes I can muster) is in the House. It’s the House that’s holding up the budget; the Senate has passed multiple spending bills in recent days, with overwhelming bipartisan support.
Chuck Schumer did this.
With help from his homies Manchin and Romney
(Edit: you can downvote it but that’s exactly what it says.)
Government isn’t functioning and is about to shut down, but our representatives can agree that the Senate must maintain the traditional theatrical appearance of competence and authority. Priorities.
theatrical appearance of competence and authority
No, no, no. It’s maintaining the visage of wealth (which is also authority). It has nothing to do with looking impressive or competent, and everything to do with signalling what economic class you’re supposed to come from to belong there.
Older people are really into uniforms signifying social position.
The Senate already handed the house their part of the project. McCarthy refuses to put it up to a vote because the far right terrorists will call for a motion to have McCarthy removed as speaker.
THAT SAID: yeah the Senate could be spending their time getting other legislation passed before McCarthy shuts down the government.
Wow they sure move fast on the important issues!

LOL he looks like Kevin from the Office in the pic without facial hair. I think he looks good with the mustache though.

Lol that pic is crazy.
Yeah but reckanize that he did it because they made him wear a suit.
I totally get that was a “f**k you” shave.
Finally they can get some work done. /s
And three posts above this one on my feed:
US poor face economic hit as shutdown, childcare cliff, student loans converge
In complete fairness the Senate is actually working on the shutdown - their last vote on a CR package passed 77-19 (all nays were R) but McCarthy in the House is rejecting it outright.
Government shutting down: I sleep
Man not wearing a tie: REAL SHIT
Dry handjobs in public are still A-OK👍
Only if there are kids around and your tits are being groped.
That costs extra
Finally, decorum in politics restored.
Crap! Now where am I supposed to go for my fix of Fetterman’s sweet calves?!?!
Just fucking make it a standard uniform designed by hugo boss. FFS.
He told his colleagues that if he spoke or voted in the well, he would wear a suit, and if he was wearing his usual garb, he’d vote from the cloak room. Democracy is saved.
Is this news?
Can we help people even a little? Nope.
But we can institute a classist dress code. Makes sense…
