As an American, I want members of Congress to fight for a measured budget that doesn't overspend on nonsense and cause inflation along the way, that puts the priorities we need to pay attention to first, and leaves the Democratic political agenda spending by the side of the road. 

But the Democrats seem to think Americans want them to spend the country into oblivion and not be held to account. They think attacking the Republicans for being more responsible than they are -- claiming they want to "shut down the government --  is somehow good politics. So they're not getting it together with reasonable action on the subject. 

One example of that bad behavior is Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA). Fetterman seems to be trying to rack up embarrassment points. It was bad enough that he had so little regard for the Senate or serving the American people that he couldn't be bothered to wear pants, let alone work attire, that he walked around in hoodies and gym shorts. Then the Senate passed rules doing away with the dress code, seemingly to accommodate his recalcitrance. 

Then he compounded the situation by attacking his fellow members of Congress, making vile comments about them including talking about "ding-a-lings," "grabbing the hog," and "humping" a leg. The man seems to be strangely obsessed with talking about men's penises. Now that it's easier to understand what he's saying, people can see what a disgusting troll he truly is. 

But Fetterman didn't stop there. Because a lot of Democrats seemed to cheer him being vile (which says a lot about where they're at), Fetterman now seems to think behaving like a jackass is desirable behavior for a senator. He issued a formal statement and posted on X with an offer for Republicans about what they could do to make him wear pants. 

If those jagoffs in the House stop trying to shut our government down, and fully support Ukraine, then I will save democracy by wearing a suit on the Senate floor next week.

"If those jagoffs in the House stop trying to shut our government down, and fully support Ukraine, then I will save democracy by wearing a suit on the Senate floor next week."

So that reveals he's completely able to wear a suit or basic business attire, he just chooses not to because he can't be bothered. 

But once again, there's his disdain and disturbing behavior toward fellow members of Congress again. "Jagoffs?" Is he 12 years old? 

The Senate is supposed to be our highest deliberative federal legislative body, and this is how he behaves. 

The Senate needs to have a discussion about his behavior and the code of conduct that goes beyond what he's wearing. They should demand that he behave like an adult. 

But after all that, guess who presided over the Senate on Wednesday? John Fetterman, in full shorted regalia. 

John Fetterman, who insists on showing up to work looking like a homeless frat boy, is presiding over the Senate today.

Dude has absolutely no shame in showing up to work looking like this.

In case it wasn't clear, this is what he was wearing. 

Fetterman says he “felt a tear in the time continuum” after presiding over the Senate without a suit

This is where Democrats have led us.
