@#1 ... Casual wear on the senate floor? ...

I'm of two minds about this.

On one hand, in a prior life, I worked in a small company where the CEO wore shorts, a t-shirt (without a bra) and sandals during the summer months. And the a/c in the building worked fine.

On the other hand, the Senate chamber, like most (nearly all) office buildings, also has air-conditioning, so the outside temperature is not a concern, and I would expect a certain level of decorum in the dress of the Senators.

My current view about this new [lack of] dress code is along the lines of WTF? Something is not right here.

@#23 ... The USA is going to hell based on most polls and our open borders ...

Your current alias seems to be focused on border issues (with lots of misinformation, I might add).

While I do admit there are problems with our border policies, fmr Pres Trump had a golden opportunity to solve a lot of the border problems.

Indeed, he sent one of his aides, Steven Miller, to work with the Republican-led Congress in 2018 to come up with a solution. The resulting four pillars law, which would have passed Congress was shown to fmr Pres Trump. It was what he wanted, yet he said he would not sign it.

Why would he not sign it? Well, talk of the time had said that if that law went into effect, Republicans could no longer use the southern border for political purposes.

If fmr Pres Trump had been willing to sign that law, that he had said he wanted, then your alias would not be able to whine here incessantly about our open borders and illegal immigrants.

So... your problem really seems to be with fmr Pres Trump.

Why don't you call him out on it?

@#23 ... Schumer frets about shorts and hooded sweat shirts for FETTERMAN. ...

I don't that Sen Schumer fretted at all.

He made a decision, then moved on to the next item on his list.

From what I've seen, it is a lot of Republicans who are fretting and spending (your alias seems to think, wasting) a lot of time on this issue.

@#29 ... Fetterman needs to wear a suit instead of playing the role of a radical Dem who hates everything about tradition. ...

So, your alias seems to know why Sen Fetterman wears shorts.

Please explain, in detail, with substantiation.

thx.

@#31 ... He needs to dress in a fitting manner. ...

I do not disagree. (see #22)

@#31 ... You know who can't handle wearing a suit?...

Me.

I hate wearing a suit.

In a prior life I worked for a company, the marketing division of the company. The dress code stated that when I was flying on company business I had to wear a three piece suit.

So I sat on airplanes in that three piece suit.

As a result, I hated to travel for that company, and I soon moved on. I moved on not because I disagreed with the goals of the company or what the company had accomplished. I moved on because of the company's stupid dress requirement when I was on an airplane on company business. I mean, who on that airplane had a clue of the company I worked for? ...

@#35

Yup.

The GOP has shown itself to be an amazingly huge conglomeration of hypocrites.

That has been known for months now.

So, what else ya got?

@#37

I was agreeing with your comment.

But, now it appears, ya got nothing else to substantiate your assertions.

Good to know going forward.

I may also have to change my opinion....

@#39 ... I give a ----. ...

Yeah.

I've noticed.

I've tried to engage your alias, but all I have gotten in return seem to be insults.

That really demeans all that your alias seems to espouse here.

Which is a shame, because, for the most part, I do agree with what your alias espouses.

Oh well...

Am I the one who needs to try harder?

Really....
