Atlanta (GNR) - "It is time Americans began looking like Americans again. You ultimately act how you look" according to M. David Houston (R) who has sponsored a bill that will require some Americans to change the way they dress. Houston says, "America cannot be great if it doesn't look the part. Women have no business wearing skirts above their knees. Far too many American men need a shave and a haircut. In fact men should be wearing pressed slacks and a shirt and tie when they are out in public unless their job requires them not to. Ladies know that short skirts and low cut tops bring shame to all women. It's time that it all ends."

Houston's proposed bill will require slacks and a tie for American males over the age of 12 and no skirts or short below the knew of all females over the age of 3 years.

"Soon we will begin to make America Great Again. We cannot expect to achieve our goal if we don't look the part."

Houston continued that "pornography, social media, salacious television and advertising are largely to blame. All that is about to change as we pass laws that will enable America to be the nation it once was."

It pains me to say it but Houston is from my home state of Georgia. As with much of the South and the Mid-West Georgia seems to have lost it's mind. Congress, emboldened by Trump's Presidency, and the Tea Party ascendancy in a number of states is soon to attempt to pass God knows how many laws that will restrict everything from abortion to freedom of expression to social media even to the way we dress. Welcome to Trumpistan.
 
there is a tiny point in there with some validity...making an effort with one's grooming and being clean, neat and tidy do boost the mind set

the rest is all hogwash and alarming

I'd like to think Houston's proposed legislation has absolutely no chance of passing... but then I remember last year in March when I thought Trump had no chance of ever becoming our President!

I don't care if the SOB has a point or not. It's none of his business how I or anyone else dress's or grooms themselves. I have a couple of successful business's yet I wear Hawaii shirts and shorts and deck shoes and a ball cap and rarely shave. Even in winter in Montana. Its almost my uniform. I got into business to do what the **** I want. Piss on that punk. If the Republicans start up with this ****, they are going to find themselves shut down and fast by their constituents because we didn't elect those dickwads for this bull**** dress police. We got much bigger fish to fry.
 
Not having the freedom to express yourself in attire is hardly more American to me. Sounds controlling, puritanical and unAmerican if anything.

Also, the tie is a useless accessory.

Idiotic.

Has Trump proposed any of those things?

No.

Is there any indication that such measures will meet with necessary, to say nothing of widespread, support among rank and file Republicans?

No.

To paint an entire administration with the brush of the rumblings of a few of a party's most radical members is asinine.

Let's not forget that the Democrats have Raul Grijalva, Maxine Waters, and Kyrsten Sinema.

If their positions were indicative of life in "Obamastan" we'd have been a Marxist dictatorship years ago.
 
This has got to be satire.

Google search yields nothing.

Pirate, it's bad for you to hold back, tell us what you really think :mrgreen:

here's a thought for you that I heard awhile ago on the radio, just one of those little (hm that's interesting) moments....apparently the human brain allows us to make a finite number of decisions throughout the day with zero stress load

people with big stress level jobs often wear the same thing day after day after day, no stress about dress choice it was claimed it is a successful strategy

I am not giving up my big wardrobe and multi-level shoe shelves... (just kidding) sort of

anyway back to your post: I love it (biggest smile of my day so far) and it is more than true :thumbs:

it came in useful for a street person who had wandered into our Board Office...he tried to strangle one the guys with his own tie...

:lamo okay not really funny but well, there is some ironic humour there

The bill won't pass. If it did, SCOTUS would shoot it down.


Having said that.... holey cow what a hot mess. A law to enforce a dress code for all Americans? That is about as un-American as you can get! I mean there are plenty of FAR-Right people who would look at him and just shake their heads and say "Dayum..."

This is right up there with the Rep who thought islands could capsize and sink.

I seriously hope this is a joke.
 
Even if it passed it's clearly unconstitutional - dress is a form of expression.

This guy can't really be this stupid. Can he?

I think Risky pulled a fast one on us, and I for one bit hard on it.

There is a reason we have such thing as Bubba tests. Never underestimate the ingenuity of fools and idiots.
 
Looks like Risky may be playing an early April Fool's prank. I can't find an M David Houston in google who's in Congress
