Why Chris Christie Was Kicked Out Of An Amtrak Car

  Wow! What a guy! Apparently not even politicians are above the Amtrak law, and apparently Chris Christie (one of the dudes running for President next Tuesday, November 3) was kicked off an Amtrack train whilst drinking a McDonald’s “STRAWBERRY ” smoothie & yelling profusely at his secret service agent about what nobody knows. And these are the people running for PRESIDENT! 

I’d be lying if I said the spazzing wasn’t relatable. He is my fellow Virgo after all. We tend to spazz when under pressure– not maybe the best attribute for a Presidential hopeful. But I digress.
Who will you vote for on November 3rd?

Via Fortune– Chris Christie, the GOP presidential hopeful who has been known to be a bully, was kicked out of an Amtrak car on Sunday. Gawker was the first to report the incident as a fellow passenger, Alexander Mann, told the publication:

He got on last minute yelling at his two secret service agents I think because of a seat mixup, sat down and immediately started making phone calls on the quiet car. After about 10 minutes, the conductor asked him to stop or go to another car. He got up and walked out again yelling at his secret service. He was drinking a McDonald’s strawberry smoothie.

Disgraced Subway Guy Jared Fogle Is Paying His Victims

Here’s how much he’s paying out.

Jared Fogle, the former Subway pitchman who plead guilty to sex acts with minors and distributing child pornography, has paid 10 of his 14 victims $1 million total in restitution.

The New York Times reported Friday that Fogle will pay the last four victims $100,000 each ahead of his sentencing, which is scheduled for Nov. 19, according to federal prosecutor Steven DeBrota in an interview with the Times.

DeBrota told the publication that the money to victims could be used for them to receive counseling. He also said one is homeless.

Fogle is known for losing 200 pounds through a diet involving eating Subway sandwiches. The fast food chain stopped working with Fogle in August after suspending its relationship with him in July.

Russell Taylor, who formerly was director of The Jared Foundation, Fogle’s organization aimed at cutting down childhood obesity, was arrested in May for producing child pornography.

Fogle is facing up to 12 years in federal prison.
