    If you have this kind of skeleton in your closet why the hell would you go into politics? Even local politics. You WILL piss someone off and they WILL dig up your past. Idiot.

    Also, not buying his excuses. He could have gotten into any number of political roles at different levels but he went for the one that oversees teenagers. Gross.

    Edit: Also look at this guy. Based on the info in the article he is at least 35 but he’s wearing the graffitti shirt and the DJ hat to try and look hip and cool to young people. I’m not saying politicians need to wear a uniform, the suit with the red tie, but this is pretty creepy knowing his past.

      Eh I agree with your first few points but his attire looks as 2023 as 2013 or 2003.

      If dude just wants to be his dude self, I don’t think that’s a knock y’know. Then again, I was laughing when I read about Fetterman in his hoodie and ball shorts in the Senate, where I think your Sundays best is appropriate. So take my opinion for what may. I’m 42 and I still own ripped up jeans and flannels that I’ve worn since the mid 90s. I don’t wear them all the time but that’s still just me being me. More often than not you’d find me in a plain color or white T, prob with the sleeves rolled up over my shoulder and shorts on. Doesn’t matter what time of year. In the winter id prob be in mud boots and in the summer I wear water socks almost exclusively.

      You dress how you feel. My body still feels like I’m 25, just with numb hands in the morning and more scars, well, and in better shape. I haven’t slowed down at all. If anything I’ve sped up.

      I agree with everything but your edit. He’s a millennial, this is how a lot of us dress.
