Coffee Talk VI: The Undiscovered Country

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Do men have a dress code (ie: no tshirts or some shit like that)?

Don’t think it’s all in all that unreasonable if there’s something similar for the opposite sex.

Republicans want to "phase out" electric cars to protect fossil fuels

The proliferation of electric vehicles, they said, would be detrimental to Wyoming and the "ability for the country to efficiently engage in commerce."

Unfortunately, right after he said that, Ford also added "And no more Jews."

Ehhh… there is a difference between dressing professionally vs what body parts to cover. It is easier for men vs women when it comes to the clothing styles.

Professional attire should have been the recommendation and left at that.

How it's reported:

How it actually happened:

Former N.Y. election official pleads guilty to 2021 ballot fraud

Jason Schofield, a Republican who recently resigned from the Rensselaer County Board of Elections, admitted he applied for absentee ballots using other voters' personal info.

It was a Republican who was arrested.

Oh geez shocked Dinesh would give “alternative facts”.

If we're talking tank tops I agree but I don't think it's uncommon for an office or business appropriate dress to be sleeveless. I'm perfectly OK with the men in the Missouri house wearing a sleeveless dress if they want to as well.

If Robert Palmer was part of the Christian Taliban, this is how "Addicted To Love" would have come out....

Here's Shailene Woodley dressed up like a Robert Palmer video girl because....just because.

So they changed it to allow cardigans to be acceptable but I looked at 4 different articles about this and they all mentioned that the rule states that arms have to be covered but nowhere could I actually find the language that states this. Two of those articles referred to this WaPo article that says the following…

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/01/12/missouri-women-dress-code-arms-house/

“ The state House eventually approved a modified version of Kelley’s proposal, which allows for cardigans as well as jackets, but still requires women’s arms to be concealed.”

…but doesn’t state anywhere else how the “arms covered” portion is worded.

And for men it states the following:

“ Men also have a dress code to abide by in the chamber, but there were no proposed updates to their dress code on Wednesday. The men’s dress code in the House states that “proper attire for gentlemen shall be business attire, including coat, tie, dress trousers, and dress shoes or boots.””

By all meaning that seems 1) like a stricter dress code and 2) also doesn’t allow bare arms.

It just seems like they’re ruling that lawmakers have to wear some sort of full blazer or sweater regardless of sex.

Which may be weird, and may be easier to go with “professional attire” like you said, but these folks equivocating this with the end of roe v wade is kinda nuts lol

Seems the policy change was effective.

The only thing that can protect you from a bad toddler with a gun, is a good toddler with a gun.

"Failing" is a bold way to call a very real, serious and realistic threat and it shouldn't be considered as anything other than that. This poll was done last month.

I bet the language that states it probably was never made public until the final decision was in place.
In the grand scheme it is silly on all fronts. One side you are dictating to woman what they can/can't do and as mentioned the roe v wade overturning probably isn't a good look.
Then on the other hand comparing this to roe v wade is typical political posturing like we hear all the time as the littlest thing gets blown out of proportion for dramatic effect.
