    Did not help Trump appointing Jeff Sessions and to a lesser extend Bill Barr.

    In an ironic twist Fetterman was the 1st Dem Senator to call for Menendez to resign

    Rand Paul decided to take advantage of the new Senate dress code.

    Fetterman can preside over the Senate but cannot be served in NYC restaurants .

    I did not know this . The Scmuckster's relaxation to the Senate dress code ONLY applied to Senators . Staffers are still required to respect the institution .

    As for Fetterman; a leading PA news organization hits the nail on the head.

    After a few months of forcing himself to wear the conventional suit-and-tie, Mr. Fetterman has backslid to his preferred wardrobe of hooded sweatshirts and athletic shorts. This appears to have been related to his release from inpatient care for clinical depression, and no one can begrudge a person the desire for physical and psychological comfort during and after such a crisis.
    Still, Mr. Fetterman’s condition does not relieve him from the duties of public life, one of which is to respect the institutions of public life, and the people whom he represents there.

    If a man has an issue with mental illness so severe that it greatly affects the way he dresses, then someone should tell him that he has no business running for the Senate.

    Guess Uncle Festerman needs to buy some appropriate cloths to do his job. The Senate unanimously voted for a dress code on the floor that doesn't include hoodies and shorts .
