Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Obama definitely wore it best
That's really a great looking suit
The audacity that man has to walk around looking so dapper
Honestly?
I don't like the suit, but he made it look good anyways.
I'm told the yoots call it rizz.
Personally I'd recommend a tie with more contrast. Maybe a deep green or navy blue. Or maybe a dark brown tie with a pattern of little tan suits on it!
To be fair, I wouldn't want the President looking that good if I might have to be photographed next to him
“Allowing casual clothing on the Senate floor disrespects the institution we serve” Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., wrote in a letter signed by 45 other Republican senators.
Okay, but what about being a fucking traitor?
They hate that Fetterman looks and dresses like the people he serves. Working class laboring Americans.
And I hate that we pay these goddamn worthless traitor parasites. We should treat them as the filth they are. I cannot wish enough ill upon republicans.

It's really damn simple. It's because they don't care.
The hypocrisy is the point.
Everything they do is "do as I say, not as I do".
It's about control and power. Not about values.
They have no actual values.
There is only one party that cares about hypocrisy.
And it ain't the fucking republicans.
A pointing out the hypocrisy is moot, they will just move the goalpost further down field. Rules for thee, not for me.

Have any Republicans said a thing about Boebert giving her boyfriend an over-the-pants handy in public yet?
Nope, family values
That family's name: The Aristocrats!

Sorry, my public sexual indecency in the presence of minors, a felony, isn’t as shocking as a hoodie.
I would not be shocked if this were a real Boebert quote.
I would because it uses the word "sorry".
And it was obviously written by someone literate, so that excludes her, too.
Hoodie + Trust > Suit + Lies
As the limit of fucks I give about clothing at work approaches zero.
Clearly clothing is optional to her as well.
Hey now, she really knows the importance of putting on sheep's clothing as a wolf.
How many trans people have been caught jerking off their partner while getting groped, vaping, and using inappropriate language in front of minors?
Never mind - we'd better genocide the queers just in case - to protect the children, you see. Boebert? Whatever do you mean?
There was this political party in Germany in the 1930s that insisted everyone dress sharp while they tried to systematically wipe out anyone not blonde hair and blue eyed… the name escapes me though…
That is seriously the logical conclusion if things progress like this. Republicans are operating on complete bad faith, all in the pursuit of power and getting their way.
And it's all so obvious, and yet they still hold a lot of power in the US. That is seriously concerning. Or should be, at least.
It’s not that they can’t see their own hypocrisy it’s that they don’t care. To their base they see only the one side anyways so it doesn’t matter to them. When will we stop pretending that the GOP is going to change from facing their own hypocrisy.
I don’t think they care. They went after Obama’s tan suit, AOC’s dress and now Fetterman’s sweater.

Republicans are fully aware of the absurdity of their hypocrisy
They just don't care.
And more over, they find absolute delight in people on the opposite side from them getting in a huff about it.
It's not even a case of 'republicans believe themselvea the only real americans' they act like they believe themselves the only real humans
Therein lies the true danger from these zealous traitors: they see outgroups as not human and will happily commit any number of atrocities against anyone they consider "other."
Debating how hypocritical anybody in politics is being is a fool's errand. It's irrelevant and is not productive. Every single one of us exhibits forms of hypocrisy all the time.
How about we shift to a paradigm where everyone criticizes politicians based on how good or bad their policies are, including how they vote on bills?
Honestly, Schumer should just declare casual fridays or something like that. It’d be cool to see who understands that attire doesn’t really have that much impact on the efficacy of the body (to be clear, that’s both commentary on how attire generally doesn’t impact one’s ability to do a non-physical job, as well as an oblique insult to what the Senate has become).
