I am so confused about this leg shaving story.

People are kink shaming klobuchar.

It was a sex thing? I can't even figure out what is going on with it. It's so stupidly ridiculous it sounds like what an incel thinks 'ladybosses' make subordinates do.

Really, i think she made her female employees shave their legs if they weren’t going to wear pantyhose.

I thought m@tt was joking? is this serious?

I don’t think she made men shave their legs—theyre usually wearing pants i’d imagine. I dont know minnesota though

the story sounds like BS btw

i dunno the ppl posting about it were 3 DFL ppl and one current city council member (and some of these ppl are women who are saying this not men)

obv i cannot say if it's true or not but that is indeed what ppl who are involved in DFL politics are saying

the staff shavers are women not men (according to the story)

it's fucking bizarre but i dunno ppl who are passing it around like it was some kinda known thing, insane if true

def not the thing i expecting to see this morning

so yeah...who the fuck knows just reporting from the polar vortex here

and to be clear the story is AK made staffers shave HER legs (AK's legs) which is super fucking bizarre

godspeed

The real explanation here is very simple. Klochubar not only hates shaving her own legs, but is a very busy and important woman, so she chose to save her valuable time by having staff shave her legs in spare moments at the office rather than going to a spa or some other place where that service might be available. If she had switched to pants suits as an alternative solution, she was afraid this would damage her image among church-going, elderly, Minnesotan women.

if this happened it doesn’t seem like it should be too difficult to get someone on the record. maybe that will still happen

Not if they want to continue to work in the very small and insular world of MN DFL politics though

that is fucking weird. my hope is that story is false.

*rushes to shave own legs*

Having someone else shave your legs would be 100xs more of a hassle than the 2 minutes it takes to do it yourself.

Unless it is a mobility or ableness issue.

If it’s true, it’s obviously more of an abusive kink than a matter of convenience. If it’s false, what a heckin weird story to spread around

see you on the TRAIL

Today Elizabeth Warren, sometimes referred to by me as Pocahontas, joined the race for President. Will she run as our first Native American presidential candidate, or has she decided that after 32 years, this is not playing so well anymore? See you on the campaign TRAIL, Liz!

She should scalp him.

Really tough to imagine the leg shaving story just getting dreamt up out of nowhere, though I suppose stranger things have happened

the legs shaving thing sound LBJesque

than the 2 minutes it takes to do it yourself

maybe she thought she would rush it and cut herself

in this capitol hill culture of turning underlings into life-aides (cf. scott pruitt and ryan zinke)

Nice that she's getting ahead of these, but when you gotta start off with your own Snopes page...

don't think of an elephant

Eventually the food is served & Gillibrand starts to eat her fried chicken with a fork. She looks around, sees other people eating with their hands and says “Um Kiki, do we use our fingers or forks for the chicken?”

fork lickin' good

god that’s embarrassing

there are no good candidates

other than idiots, who cares whether she eats chicken with a knife and fork or her fingers? it is irrelevant to everything that matters.

Me, a normal person with no public appearances to make and no hands to shake, would eat fried chicken the normal way.

Kirsten Gillibrand, who is campaigning and doesn't have time to change clothes after lunch and will be in front of audiences and shaking hands the rest of the day, might find it beneficial to use a knife and fork.

Using a knife and fork for pizza is still fucking shameful, though.

it seems like a really petty thing to pick on. I could see a non-politician having the save awkwardness and curiosity.

We just Dean Scream everything now

Take a break nerds, it’s hilarious she wanted to use a knife on her fried chicken, she’ll be fine

i just wanted to say fork lickin' good

what i wanna know is, why could she not just look at what other people were doing, surely as a career politician she has a knack for that

i guess no one wants to be gerald ford trying to eat his tamale with the wrapper still on

other than idiots, who cares whether she eats chicken with a knife and fork

it seems like a really petty thing to pick on.

Have you met our electorate?

um, kiki?

jesus. she's never gonna give this up is she?

sometimes you just have to roll the dice

i'm with her

klobuchar's announcing this afternoon, in minneapolis.

does she have a chance? just in terms of name recognition she's already fighting an uphill battle. i don't know a lot about the kinds of policies she's pushed in the past. i thought she handled herself quite well during the hearings for the golden boy kavanaugh, but she didn't exactly scream "presidential contender" either

I welcome her, unless that leg shaving thing is true. Can't imagine her gaining a lot of traction, and don't know that she's really pushing any ideas anyone else has missed, but go for it I guess.
