Susan “I believe the president has learned his lessons” Collins will have to wear bikini with pearl necklace, just to clutch the pearls at every GOP hypocrisy

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

Ultimately in a democracy I want my representation to feel like a representation of folks like me. If you want to wear a suit to work that’s great, but maybe us rust belt democrats want someone who’d rather dress like a union steward to go represent our interests. Senator Fetterman in his hoodie looks exactly like the sort of person you’d expect to represent Pennsylvanians.

Also maybe just maybe, I care more about the quality of their work than what they wear doing it.

So wear a fucking bikini. You'll be the one looking like an idiot, not Fetterman.

This is peak ok Boomer here.

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.

Again… this was the predictable response from republicans. They also failed to remember that they had a literal orange clown in the oval office for a few days over the course of 2016-2020. So they themselves set the precedent

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.

"I think there is a certain dignity that we should be maintaining in the Senate" - Susan Collins

" ... she planned to 'wear a bikini' on Tuesday." - also Susan Collins.

Damn, I was hoping that quote was from Mitch McConnell.

This would have been such an obvious slam-dunk for Republicans! Their base hates suits and ties (and the people who wear them). They could have started wearing blue jeans and sleeveless shirts and work boots to the Senate floor, but no, they need to feel like their jobs are important.

Fuckin do it, be free

Senator, any veneer of decorum and seriousness went out the door when Cruz read Dr. Seuss on the floor.

If anything, not wanting to people to have more autonomy is very on brand

She's a rotten stupid Cunt.

do it I'll toss that pic into an ai undresser! callin your bluff

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

All form, zero substance with these people.

Go for it. I double dare you.

You know you've been in office too long when you're complaining about a laxer dress code

“But the corporate class might withdraw their sponsorship if we don’t all wear their traditional attire!”

Go for it, anything for the right to be taken less seriously than the left is a win.

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

I can wear hoodies and shorts to my job too and it's great. Good for Fetterman.

Will she not just fuck off to the great beyond?

This just means they can now openly wear their swastika pins.

“I think there is a certain dignity that we should be maintaining in the Senate, and to do away with the dress code, to me, debases the institution,” Collins added.

Now can a man not have even his hoodie fellas?

She brings up a good point.

Why should she be allowed to make decisions?

“We be styling,” Tester said. “I don’t think it changes anything for me.”

Who gives a shit? As long as you're not indecent, wear what is comfortable

*opposition brought to you from the people who claim workers are dying to go back the office

Wish she held such strong opinions as she voted to confirm the current Supreme Court.

How unfortunate, shes still here.

“I think there is a certain dignity that we should be maintaining in the Senate, and to do away with the dress code, to me, debases the institution,” Collins added.

Oh Susan…that ship has sailed, boo.
