Steve Schmidt thinks Schumer's decision to relax dress codes is bad optics at the wrong time.
I personally don't care how they dress; I care about what they do; but he has a point

(6,991 posts)And self-proclaimed Christian and has the nerve to try to raise money off of saying that Dems are horrible people and shaming her et al. NO Dem told her to show how much of a prostitute she is. I didn't have shit to do with her playing with her boyfriend's pecker in public, nor have shit to do with him playing with her boob , and Schmidt said that Fetterman's relaxed clothing is a gift to treasonous, deranged rapist and the GQP US Taliban Putin-loving, traitor Party? I'd do just like Swalwell did against GYMsock Jordan the other day. SHAME the hell out of them. John Fetterman's relaxed clothing is worse than what Santos is doing? Santos belongs in prison and the GQP is ready to shut the government down, and Fetterman's clothing is going to sink Dems and give the rapist a talking points gift. tRump's a whole ass rapist Fetterman better KEEP his relaxed clothing on, and tell the GQP to go fuck themselves.
Schmidt can miss me with this.
Masterclass .....Swalwell Kicking GYMsock Jordan's ASS

(8,541 posts)if optics are THE BIG OMG then the MAGA shit show/looming government shutdown is what...comic relief?..Fetterman, in shorts and hoodie, is doing his job, the people's job, while the appropriately dressed (Jordan/Greene/Boebert??) Trump ass-kissing House traitor baboons are tossing their poop...if the government shuts down and people are furloughed, I sincerely doubt career government employees with no paychecks, will demand Chuck Schumer's head for relaxing the Senate dress code...

(9,629 posts)It's not like I really care what the Senators where, but for some people they still take professionalism seriously. I feel like this also opens a pandora's box about the dress code and what is/isn't acceptable.

(6,991 posts)or some shit like that. Earth to that old bag, who famously said tRump learned his lesson, he'll be a good boy during acquittal trial and look at what he's done since she said "He's learned his lesson, and became a good boy." Stole sensitive docs out of the White House and gave them to the Saudis and God knows who else he sold this nations secrets to, he's a convicted rapist, will be charged and then found guilty of the espionage act and this old battle axe is worried about Fetterman's clothing choices? She's still supporting tRump for Potus last I heard. Plus, you don't remember the row over Pres. Obama's tan suit and Michelle's arm less dresses? When you google Malaria, tRump's mail order bride, there are numerous pics of her ass hanging out. Pics of her grabbing her own p***y in naked pics. DEMS have to be perfect, or else. What about the GQP's and their lack off professionalism? Those MAGGOTS in the congress, amongst other heinous things, want to shut down the government, cut social security, get rid of SNAP, get rid of free lunch programs, saying that poor children don't need free lunches and breakfasts, and Dems need to worry about Fetterman's clothing lacking professionalism?

(613 posts)There are a lot of everyday people who wish they could dress like Fetterman, and just as many who do.
Those people, mostly adults, will see themselves in Fetterman.
As for attire, the thing that really makes a mockery of the halls of government is the constant lying, misinformation, cronyism, fakery, and dishonesty that goes on. In Fetterman the people are more likely to see themselves, and to see a man who is not afraid to say what he really thinks, than a laggard in a hoodie and shorts.
Both the Senate and Congress would be far better focusing on their morals and behavior than on the dress code.
Fetterman's attire can be best described as 21st century reality in rural and suburban America. The people see themselves in him in ways they do not see themselves in men in suits and woman in pant suits, with phony smiles on their faces.

(6,071 posts)The GOP is all about optics. The dress code is about optics. Elections are a lot about optics. Next year is an election year. Why make this change now? I realize the Senate is dysfunctional and stymied by their own filibuster rules and they cant get a lot done because GOP controlled House cant pass a bill, but is there really nothing more important they can do?

(585 posts)give a sh!t about his work attire. How many people in their thousand dollar dress ware have screwed us over already. So he's dressed like the average guy on the streets at least he's not trying to jack us up. I have always thought that should be the rule after all the more you spend on your clothes the more you have to make. Or as the supreme courts allowance to be able to bribe their favorite government officials. Make them all dress down and get their a$$es to work...

(24,449 posts)Fetterman dresses for his constituency. Besides the main urban centers, which are already to the left, his constituency includes the vast rural areas of PA and the "down home folks" who live there. They identify with him.
I don't recall Smith doing a video about Jordan's rolled up sleeves and lack of a jacket on the House floor, so what's his problem with Fetterman?
Smith sounds like a pompous old guy who can't pronounce Schumer's name very well.
