Democrats Reveal More ‘Rules for Thee, but Not for Me’ Hypocrisy When It Comes to Senate Dress Code:

 

 

Fox’s Chad Pergram posted that now Senators can wear whatever they want, but others must comply with the dress code, which is: “Coats/ties for men. Business attire for women.”

 

This is coming from Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), who, as Senate Majority Leader, directed the Senate’s Sergeant at Arms to stop enforcing the rules. “Senators are able to choose what they wear on the Senate floor. I will continue to wear a suit,” Schumer told Axios.

 

It’s not hard to guess why. Even Axios noted the following in reporting on this change.

 

The new directive will allow Sen.John Fetterman(D-Pa.), who tends to favorgym shorts and hoodiesover the business attire traditionally required in the chamber, to linger on the Senate floor before and after votes.

the dems have figured out how to grow control by manipulating the leaches, the apathetic, the dumbest and a hand full of median iq people who are still dumb enough to think they are part of the ruling class and of course the wealthy elites. 

 

their ability to find and segment, surgically, the right groups to mind control has been brilliant.

 

republicans aren’t organized or cohesive enough to counter it. 
 

It’s sad. It runs against everything that made this country a dominant world power for a century…

So-called MAGA people haven't changed their ideology or views for decades.  They're just getting in the way of the left FUBAR'ing whatever they haven't screwed up already.  Meanwhile, the extremists on the left have moved even further left and incorrectly conclude the distance between the two views is proof of right wing extremism while in reality its they who are the extremists.

You guys try so hard.  and fail.  The R party has been transformed by trump into a mob of morons.  The D party has collected many of the more successful R party members that are rightfully disgusted.

We have very different definitions of elite. I do very well for my family and continue to push. I encourage the same to the kids.

 

The elites I’m talking about are descendants or frauds of wealth and power. The aristocracy. The effective ruling class that actively deconstructs the ladders of upward mobility to hold their standing. The ones that tell you to be vegan to save the earth while flying private jets between mansions. I don’t resent these people as mich as I just want to minimize their control of my life and theft of my earnings. 
 

I have no bone to pick with the ones who earned their standing on their own merit, smarts, hard work, good decisions, competitive nature, etc. I respect that.

You know, kids that have not finished any formal education yet?

or are so young they only have book knowledge and very little life experience.

I largely agree with your definition.  In another post I added the caveat that to be elite you can't cheat.  As in sports, cheaters are never elite.  And people generally know or eventually catch on to the cheaters.  But I don't believe your definition is nearly universal across the MAGA base.  What is an Academic elite, for example?  Anyone with a higher status seems to be elite or at least above some arbitrary level.  And I think the current economy is making the rungs of the ladder steeper.  But there's no grand plan to destroy the economy.  Biden could lose because of it....

Then why is the issue of voter id so important to democrats? it’s almost impossible to be an Educated contributor to society without a photo Id. 
 

you’re saying these democrat anti ID and pro mail in ballot priorities are to obtain maga votes?

Because a lot of old people--blacks, native Americans, etc.--don't have ids because they were born before good records were kept for minorities. No birth certificates and stuff

Mail in ballots are another matter.  Low wage people often need to work during voting times. transportation is often an issue. Why shouldn't it be easier to vote as long as fraud is not prevalent (and it was not).  And why are you for mandating Voter ID's while against mandating things like vaccinations?  A biometric measurement (eg fingerprint of face ID) could easily be used to verify identities if making voting easier was a goal.

 

btw, I should have said that I agree with your definition of the word as it was recently manipulatively made to mean.  The word actually doesn't mean that.  How the propagandists made "Elite" pejorative is just amazingly sad.

This.  You literally need at least one form of ID to do something to live in this country.  Legally, that is.

I’m not taking a position on id and mail in ballots in this line, I am merely positing that if magas are the dregs of society, you’d think they would disproportionately be in the class of folks without ID, or that are too apathetic to a polling place… maybe both. 
 

So why isn’t this a maga priority??

I guess we must be in the minority here.

We faced a very dangerous new public health menace in America and the world in 2020. It looked for a time as if people would be staged in trailers outside hospitals (note: THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENED in NYC), probably to die without ventilators to keep them alive. The economy faced collapse. The NBA and NHL held "bubble" tournaments. MLB was almost completely canceled. NFL games in empty stadiums. Schools went online.

Overkill? Who knows for sure. Restrictions were too tight in some areas, and surely went on too long. But this was kind of a new thing.

A couple years later, it was essentially over. The economy hadn't collapsed. Huge market interventions probably saved us from that. Amazing rapid development of vaccines and therapeutics. The response certainly wasn't perfect.

But even so ... we made it out the other side just fine! Surely there's something to celebrate here instead of miserably groaning like angry old men (umm, maybe that's what the are) about how the world has gone to hell in a hand basket.

Lighten up! Get a little perspective. The world survived, indeed, in many ways thrived. There are challenges. We will meet them.
