Trump pardons two more turkeys, Peas and Carrots

President Trump made light of the contentious recent elections as he conducted the traditional Thanksgiving turkey pardon in the White House’s Rose Garden on Tuesday. The online vote to choose which of two South Dakota-bred turkeys — Peas or Carrots —, would join Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio, right-wing polemicist Dinesh D’Souza, and last year’s winners, Drumstick and Wishbone, as beneficiaries of a Trump pardon was untainted by fraud, the president said.

Pretty funny. I remember an old West Wing episode that centered around this that was hysterical.

C.J. I'm sorry to ask you this, sir.

BARTLET Not too late to stop yourself.

C.J. I need you to pardon a turkey.

BARTLET I already pardoned a turkey.

C.J. I need you to pardon another one.

BARTLET Didn't I do it right?

C.J. You did it great, but I need you to come out here and pardon another one.

BARTLET Aren't I gonna get a reputation for being soft on turkeys?

C.J. Sir, could you come out here and just get this over with?

BARTLET No, I'm not just gonna get this--What the hell is going on?

C.J. They sent me two turkeys. The more photo-friendly of the two gets a Presidential pardon and a full life at a children's zoo. The runner-up gets eaten.

BARTLET If the Oscars were like that, I'd watch.

Just once I want to see him take an axe to one on national TV. I’d pay good money to see a President stretch that neck and go to town with a hatchet.

Camera zooms out and pans to catch it running all over the place, blood spurting from the neck.

“And that was a pet. I loved it. I don’t even like you Putin.”

The WH has a kitchen staff! Chefs at that level know the ropes. Hand the turkey over and ask the chef what time dinner is being planned for?

I could see Don Jr. or brother Eric doing that, while dressed in fatiques. I do not see Mr. Trump doing any chopping.
I don’t think he has the stomach for something so bloody. Some people just don’t.

A few days ago Pres. Trump confirmed to Mike Wallace that the White House has access to the audio of that Saudi Guy being tortured, but he has not listened to it, and has no intention of doing so.

Ah, nostalgia!

Faces of Death - the first commercially viable snuff film that didn’t land the producers in jail. That was ‘must-see’ growing up.

Racist! Trump pardoned the white turkeys but what about the brown turkeys?

I thought I read in one of the articles that he pardoned both turkeys.

Has anyone done a background check on these turkeys? How do we know that they won’t commit some atrocious crime in the future?

Elect me to Presidency in 2020 and I’ll execute those fowl creatures.

I was thinking similarly. Trump should have named the turkeys Hillary and Comey.

Remember this?
“To celebrate Thanksgiving, Sarah Palin pardoned a turkey at a processing plant. Afterwards, Palin took part in an interview, while a turkey butcher slaughtered turkeys in the background.”
