    these assholes are going to shut down the government for no reason.

    seems like they shut it down all the time. at least in the past i could kind of see their reasoning even though i strongly disagreed. this time though it is just plain stupid.

    Haha, you bet!

    Well, I call bullshit on relaxing the dress code.  I say, show up dressed the way a professional we overpay (most of them) should be dressed, or show up with no clothes on at all.  Hoodies?  Shorts?  Casual shoes?  And they call themselves leaders?  Bullshit. 

    They need to take some lessons from someone classy like Wynton Marsalis:

    I'd have to agree. A congressperson should not be showing up to work in sweats. sorry, fedderman. not appropriate.

    One would think people would collectively agree that an elected member of congress acting out and fondling her date’s junk and getting felt up herself in a very public setting isn’t a good thing, but here we are. 
    If you read through my posts instead of inferring I stated that I thought it was gross.  It's just not noteworthy to me.  Most politicians are trash and some are better than others at hiding their shit. This is true historically. We have had some real pieces of shit from every party.  Why would anyone be surprised that one of the worst members of congress in recent history was groping in a theater. I already don't like her but this doesn't make me dislike her less nor will it keep her supporters from supporting her. But here we are. Getting upset about a crap person having a relatively tame (by today's standards) moment.

    Decorum of elected officials. I don't care if you are wearing tennis shoes, tan pants etc. Are you doing a good job. Fine. Bill Clinton did pretty good while being a serial philanderer.. Are you doing a bad job thats what i will judge. Imo she does a terrible job, but I couldn't care less about what she did one night in a theater, nor do I think it rises to headline news.

    From here on out, I will ask all my female coworkers (office setting) if they ever “pull a Boebert “ or “feel up a Boebert” in public. Guaranteed if I try that I risk my job. So it’s not incidental, it can cost most of us our employment. She brought this behavior into public spaces and public discussion, yet we can’t publicly discuss it? That’s why it’s noteworthy, it’s rare behavior like this on public display, whether or not from an elected official. 
    well now you are talking about something different. I'm not going to lose my job if I'm caught on security camera getting frisky with my wife in a theatre. and neither (presumably) will you. asking female coworkers of their sexual behaviour in the workplace? yeah, that's another animal. 

    she acted like a pig in public, full stop. and there are different standards for public people. 20 years ago this would have been a scandal and probably caused her resignation, even in the GOP. But 20 years ago, she wouldn't even be in congress. so there's that. 

    the fact that it was a first date is, well, something else. LOL
    Alanis Morrisette sung about this and we raved her for it.  Today?  Not so much. Well, we still have WAP so maybe we do?

    I wonder if we are converting back to the 50's where everyone on the outside is supposed to be prim and proper/prudish but, when the lights are out and the freak flag flies now we take exception to it?

    Or it's in public and you're an idiot?
    That's a weird standard... and I'm pretty sure she meant a movie theater,  not watching the Lion King on Broadway.

    I think both can be true; Fetterman could choose more appropriate clothing for appearing on the floor of the Senate, and we collectively could worry a lot more about the asshats who are trying to overturn our democratic norms rather than about what anyone is wearing.
    All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and shortest means to accomplish it.

    Agree 100%. But usually when someone brings up anything around here that dems could improve on, inevitably the “whataboutism” crowd comes out. 

    I’m firmly on team Both Can Be True.

    Every dem house member and senator should show up to work in a tan suit without a 'Murican flag lapel pin attached. Then watch heads explode.

    i agree. he represents his people. can't be doing that looking like you just got back from the gym.

    i will say though, the guy is like 6 feet 9 or something. all dress clothes would have to be custom made, which would be outrageously expensive.

    also, why does jim jordan not own a sports coat?

    And he should just start wearing raglan shirts and a tie. Never seen a sleeve touch that guys wrists in my life.
