    Isn’t it normal etiquette to take off the hat in a church?

      None of the people wearing a hat in that picture would be able to spell etiquette without a K. They love their Ks.

      not really

      Traditionally, men should remove their hats during prayers or hymns, whereas women might choose to keep their decorative hats on. However, this practice can vary greatly depending on the denomination and local customs. Observing other attendees and being aware of the norms can help you navigate this aspect with grace. src

      given this wasn’t even a service, but just using the space as a venue, i will say that the hats are the least disgusting thing happening in the image

        Not if the hat wearer bears the mark of the devil on their forehead

        We don’t need to see the MAGA mark on their forehead to know its there. The hat on top of it already says MAGA.

        I have no love for his staff, but why is sitting on a couch with your shoes off bad, especially in a high-stress environment?

            That would be a different couch from the ones I’ve ever owned.

            Sitting sideways on a couch reading a book is quite comfortable and plenty of people (myself included) don’t wear shoes or socks at home, especially in the summer.

          Context. I think some etiquette is ok. An overemphasis on it is not. E.g. while you and I don’t care about it in our own homes, I wouldn’t encourage it where a level of decorum is required, and the oval office is one such place. How would they feel if Lavrov did the same? If they can’t respect the office they claim to hold dear, why should others?

      99% of “normal etiquette” is just a bunch of outdated rules that make no sense. If even the “return to tradition” crowd is starting to feel comfortable wearing hats to church, it may be a sign that nature is healing.

        I still see the tradition of men not wearing hats in church. However the women having to wear hats thing is gradually fading. Basically everyone who does it chooses to as a form of obedience
