Nononono no more of this shit

I remember walking into some shitty congresscritter's office with a fucking years old one pager, with a few more citations written on the bottom in pen because I wasn't going to bother making it pretty this time around.

You should have seen his face when i asked him straight up: dude, you seem to have a problem processing information. Are you having some kind of medical issue? Because I'm not the last staffer: If you abuse my time, I am never coming back here again to add more citations to a fucking one pager from 1999 -- I'm making it my mission to remove you if you fuck this up on purpose ever again.

(Or something to that effect -- I've been told I can get a bit aggressive in my rhetoric.)

This was approximately 2016 and that individual is no longer in office.

I stand by my words.

What one pager, what words? This story needs more context if it is going to make sense
