Changing Senate dress code to accommodate Fetterman Illustrates what’s wrong with the US

Changing the Senate dress code might not seem like a big deal, but changing it to accommodate one person illustrates a greater point as to what’s happening to our society.
It’s akin to building new bathrooms to please one transgender individual, or lowering the physical requirements for joining the military to cater to the unfit.
Instead of raising standards or expecting the tiny majority to meet those standards, we simply throw all standards away.
This is happening more and more, and has bled into the church as well.
Instead of preaching the unvarnished truth of God’s word, we are trying to rewrite it the fit our current societies desires.

With little fanfare, the U.S. Senate’s dress code for members has been set aside to allow members to wear what they want, effective Monday, NBC reports. The change will allow U.S. Sen. John Letterman, D-Pa., who usually dresses in shorts and hoodie, to remain on the Senate floor before and after votes. Fetterman wore a suit and tie when he first began serving in the Senate, but following his treatment for clinical depression he returned to his habit of wearing more casual garb. Axios first reported that Majority Leader Sen. Chuck Schumer on Friday instructed the Senate Sergeant at Arms to no longer enforce the dress code for members. It still applies to staff and others on the Senate floor.

For some reason folks seem to think this is perfectly fine but lowering the standards only results in lower standards and an ease to lower them again...

Just for the hilarity of it, I would suggest that fat frick from NYC, Nadler.

Just like criminal justice reform...lower the bar to allow your "new teammates" to join you in the fight to spread communism.

Yep. The process lends itself to a
continuation of lowering standards.

Is all this just to cover for that grapefruit-sized growth on Lurch's neck?
There's something more to this story, for sure.

There is also a subconscious messaging that goes along with attire that people will try to downplay but undoubtedly exists. For one, it is a sign of respect. It signals to the audience that there is deference and respect toward them - it's why you dress up for job interviews, for example. Congress and the President are supposed to work for the people.
Second, it signals to the person in the dress code that there is a certain decorum and expectation or professionalism expected from them - it gets them in the right mindset to do their job.
Third, it signals to others that the person is also to be respected. This is why leadership will dress up and why Presidents have always worn suits as the chief executive.
Lowering dress standards is just about demoralization. Take airports for example - no one treats anyone with decency or respect and people are overall pretty miserable. That has correlated with people dressing like slobs.

That’s not an onion / bee article?

Its similar to the dumbing down of our education system. Many schools are removing AP and advanced classes. And probably adding in a "how to twerk" class.

Why didn’t they just grant him an exception since he’s clearly got medical issues that affect his appearance?

Since his issues are mental I assume that could be used to sue to invalidate all of his votes? Seems like some of those conservative groups should sue to invalidate every EO and signed document China Joe has put out due to mental incompetence.

"How accomodating is the Jewish nation of Israel," Senator Schumer?

it just goes to show you how easy and simple it is to change anything in Washington. "Oh let's change a policy by rewriting it and telling people this is the new procedure. Don't worry about input or voting.. just change it and people will obey"

Democrats and for the most part (All of Government) is only concerned about the lowest common denominator.
The idea of this is nefarious at best by those who dreamed it up, and most of the ones that signed off on it are too stupid to understand WHY it's a bad idea and not needed.

From a New York Post article on the same topic
The hypocrisy of politicians knows no bounds
quote:
The policy change goes into effect this week, according to the outlet, which cited a Senate official. However, it only applies to senators and not staff members, who will still be required to wear professional, work-appropriate clothes.
