Follicle Feast: Amy Klobuchar Wants To Be President Of The United States, But She Eats Salad With A Comb

Source: Scott Olson / Getty Amy Klobuchar Ate Salad With A Comb Amy Klobuchar is asking for your vote in the 2020 presidential election , but before you consider giving it to her, there is one very important thing you should know. According to an NYTimes article about the Senator from Minnesota, Klobuchar once ate a salad with a comb. Yes. You read that correctly. The follicle feast was a result of the clumsiness of an aide who is probably very thankful that they weren’t named in this story. 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. So, to recap, aide loses fork, Amy gets angry, Amy eats salad with comb, Amy makes aide clean it. Hell. F**k. Naw. Reports of Klobuchar’s dehumanizing treatment of her staff has been much talked about over the last couple of weeks and will likely be an issue that she will continue to have to fend off for the duration of her presidential campaign. LMFAOOO, she is seasoning her food with dandruff…. https://t.co/C52IfY2uL9 — Mezzala (@chedarmac) February 22, 2019 You votin’ for someone who seasons her food with dandruff?

It Be Ya Own Kids: Teen Fakes His Own Kidnapping And Extorts His Mother For A Whole $130 [Video]

Source: Joshua Lott / Getty   South Carolina Man Fakes His Own Kidnapping To Black His Mother For Some Spending Money According to the AJC , a South Carolina man is accused of blackmailing his own mother after he led her to believe he would be killed if she didn’t pay $130. Emmanuel Franklin, 19, of Sumter was arrested and charged with blackmail. Franklin’s mother told authorities that she received a call from her son and an unknown man from a private number earlier that week telling her that her son would be killed by kidnappers if she did not put $130 money into a mail box at a nearby address. Franklin reportedly later told officers he made up the story to get $130 from his mother, so police officers eventually arrested Emmanuel Franklin for an extortion charge.

Pure Comedy: Drake Trolls All The People Who Think He’s A Curse To Every Sports Team He Reps

Source: Tom Szczerbowski / Getty Drake Puts A Message Out There To All The “Sports Curse” Believers Drake has long been known to be a huge fan of sports and is constantly repping The Toronto Raptors, but sometimes, he slaps on a jersey for a team he’s never really payed attention to before–publicly, at least. Take Alabama for example. Drizzy was seen wearing an Alabama football sweatshirt the day before the college football national championship game, where the team ended up losing.  This resulted in the everyone mocking the rapper, with some going so far as to accuse Drake placing a curse on the football team and every other sports team he reps. After he took his toll on the beloved Crimson Tide, Drake became popular among South Carolina football fans who were ecstatic about the Clemson Tigers and their win. But as for the rest of the world, they were cracking jokes at how the Canadian has become a jinx for the popular teams he loudly supports. This weekend, though, Drake came back at the trolls in the most Drake way possible. Aubrey posted a picture to his Instagram stories that read, “To everyone that believes in the Drake curse, good luck tomorrow.”  In the photo we see him in a black sweater that sports the logos of the Kansas City Chiefs, New England Patriots, New Orleans Saints, and Rams. The 2019 NFL Playoffs take place this week and from the looks of Drake’s choice of attire, nobody’s safe. The Championship Game between the New Orleans Saints and Los Angeles Rams is kicking off on Sunday afternoon, but uhhh…maybe neither team will win? Or is this Drake’s way of expertly breaking a curse?

Sad And Shady: Black Mother Dies Pushing Broken Down Car Off Road, Did Cops Fail To Help?

Source: Noel Hendrickson / Getty South Carolina Mother Crushed To Death Pushing SUV Extremely sad way to start 2019 . According to WTLX 29-year-old mother of 2, Leisa Bonique Johnson, was killed in front of her 3-year-old and 5-year-old daughters while attempting to push her broken down SUV out of the road at 1 a.m. on Monday. When the truck stopping running in the middle of a Spartanburg, South Carolina road, Johnson attempted to push the car to the shoulder and in the process became pinned under the vehicle with the girls sitting inside. The panicked children used her cell phone to call police, but clearly there was nothing they could do to help their mother. Johnson’s aunt and uncle say the car ran out of gas as she was driving to the emergency room, potentially to deal with blood pressure and blood sugar issues. The girls reportedly got out of the car three times and witnessed their mother’s death says Leisa’s aunt Sheila Rookard: “They managed to get out the car three times to see their mama up under their car,” said Rookard. “It’s going to be a struggle, you know, from the beginning, especially with them kids seeing that with (their) mom and stuff,” Rookard said. “Y’all just pray for us.” Here’s where things get a bit shady, in a story on WSPA, one of the daughters reportedly told a family member that a police officer pulled up and told Leisa to get the car out the road. Then left. A woman. With 2 small daughters. To move a car. Alone. At 1 a.m. Reporters are working to confirm the validity of that claim. If true, could spell BIG trouble for said officer and the police department. Rest in peace, Leisa Johson. Those poor girls…

If she hadn’t had a weapon, there’s no telling what would have happened,” he said at the press conference. “I gave her a big hug. I told her how proud I was of her.” Clark said that the woman had a concealed weapons permit and called it a “shining example” of the importance of gun ownership. “She came out on the good on this end and the other guy, the bad guy, didn’t,” he said.

Seriously?! Trick -or- Treaters Over The Age Of 12 Could Face Jail Time In Certain States

Some States Are Enforcing Certain Laws About Trick-or-Treating Though nobody is too old to enjoy some good old-fashioned holiday fun, some communities across the country have decided to enforce trick-or-treat age restrictions for Halloween . Those who violate these restrictions, according to where they’re located, can end up facing some pretty serious consequences. For one example, the city of Chesapeake, Virginia, has declared that anyone over the age of 12 is legally prohibited from going door-to-door seeking free candy.  The ordinance code  states that anyone who breaks the order could be slapped with a $100 fine, a misdemeanor charge, and up to six months in jail. That means that a child as young as 13-years-old could actually be locked up for participating in a holiday tradition. According to the  Associated Press , local governments in places including Maryland, South Carolina, and Mississippi have implemented similar restrictions, and it has sparked outrage among both kids and parents in those areas. Not too surprisingly, there’s even a petition calling for a repeal of the Chesapeake law. An excerpt of the petition  reads: “ Sure, there are a few bad apples out there who are more interested in the trick part of Halloween, rather than the treat — but should that ruin the fun for everyone? And should a minor ever face jail time for something as innocuous as trick-or-treating? We don’t think so.” The City of Chesapeake ended up issuing a statement in response to the criticism and pointing out that the trick-or-treat age limit has been in place for 45 years now. “In that time, no one has been arrested or charged with any crime under this Ordinance. Chesapeake Police officers will not impede persons who are clearly over the age of 12 from trick or treating, provided that they are doing so in an otherwise lawful, safe, and secure manner,” the statement reads. So there you have it. Do you think trick-or-treating should have an age limit?
