It ain't the clothes

 There's a lot for lawmakers to be stressed about these days, from the looming threat of a government shutdown to debates over additional funding for Ukraine. But one of the most divisive issues on Capitol Hill suddenly seems to be what senators can wear to work. (npr) 

So, Patriotism is wearing a three-piece or two-piece suit, a sensible dress to knee length, maybe a blazer for the gals, and at least a tie that is red, or blue, or red and blue. So, Patriotism is wearing some kind of a tiny flag pin on your jacket lapel, or an eagle tie clip, modest heels for the ladies, and a black or brown Cole Hahn shoe for the Dudes. Wearing the outfit, as your costume or façade, somehow says you and Uncle Sam are Bro’s you and Betsy Ross are gal pals, and of course, what you wear immediately erases how you act, what you think, and the internal loathing you have for anyone that I not you!

 

Be a Senator and ignore the facts and truth about Trump's attempts to overthrow Democracy but do so in Business attire. Take Dark Money, don’t report to whom you actually have been reporting to, enjoy the perks and pleasures of being some kind of American Royalty insisting like Marie Antoinette, to let the peasants eat cake, but as long as you wear a tie, long pants, don’t show your cleavage you are still a Professional.

 

The Kings and Queens of the Senate exemplify a disgusting example of do as I say, and not as I do. Pretending, that, somehow to dress up is the answer helping them do a job for the American people, rather than the kind of job they do, is just one more example of what a bunch of phonies most t many Senators really have become!
