The candid reviews of the new rules, which went into effect Monday, even included mockery from Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, who joked to reporters that she planned to “wear a bikini” on Tuesday.

    Maybe you haven’t noticed but the Republicans don’t take anything seriously, other than pandering to corporations. What is the purpose of wearing a skinny bib on your neck and an extra jacket? It used to be to show you had money. Do we care if our politicians have money? I care that they don’t have a lot of money or at least don’t show that they do, as that makes them look more like us and more relatable.

      Not true, they also take seriously pandering to Nazis and overthrowing elections. All three of those things are (edit: also) massive problems, yes. Two things can be true (or four in this case).

      Edit: Should have said, those three things are much bigger problems than the dress code either way. I wish the Democrats were working on them more and changing the dress code less.
