What the fuck is wrong with this woman?

How Amy Klobuchar Treats Her Staff

Senator Amy Klobuchar was hungry, forkless and losing patience.

An aide, joining her on a trip to South Carolina in 2008, had procured a salad for his boss while hauling their bags through an airport terminal. But once onboard, he delivered the grim news: He had fumbled the plastic eating utensils before reaching the gate, and the crew did not have any forks on such a short flight.

What happened next was typical: Ms. Klobuchar berated her aide instantly for the slip-up. What happened after that was not: She pulled a comb from her bag and began eating the salad with it, according to four people familiar with the episode.

Then she handed the comb to her staff member with a directive: Clean it

I'm not a lawyer but isn't he kind of right here?
That was his own aide he was arguing with and the one who is the chief negotiator with China. And not really correct they are binding documents and important to the trade process.

My understanding is that an MOU was not legally binding unless stated as such within the document. In that case, Trump is right here and the aide probably shouldn't have tried to upstage his boss (I mean, that was probably a bad idea even if Trump is wrong).

Actually it is a contract. Basically the argument was over the name itself which is very comical. In the end they aren’t calling it a MOU and now a trade agreement.

I didnt want to mess up the trade deadline thread with this nonsense:

Lt. Frank Drebin:
Hector Savage. From Detroit. Ex-boxer. His real name was Joey Chicago.

Ed Hocken:
Oh, yeah. He fought under the name of Kid Minneapolis.

Nordberg:
I saw Kid Minneapolis fight once. In Cincinnati.

Lt. Frank Drebin:
No you're thinking of Kid New York. He fought out of Philly.

Ed Hocken:
He was killed in the ring in Houston. By Tex Colorado. You know, the Arizona Assassin.

Nordberg:
Yeah, from Dakota. I don't remember it was North or South.

Lt. Frank Drebin:
North. South Dakota was his brother. From West Virginia.

Ed Hocken:
You sure know your boxing.

Lt. Frank Drebin:
All I know is never bet on the white guy.

Officer, I didn't mean to bludgeon the guy, I was just testing the tensile strength of that lead pipe.

I'm married but get harmless crushes now and then. I got one bad now though. My local MS-13 representative is an adorable young lady, she's all I think about.

That is no way to witness tamper. Has this guy never seen Godfather II?

Also, the lead pipe, a criminally underrated weapon if you ask me.
