The two turkeys for President Donald Trump's final pardoning of the bird variety made their Washington debut Monday.

Corn and Cob, two Broad-Breasted White turkeys from the state of Iowa, were introduced at the glitzy Willard InterContinental Hotel by the National Turkey Federation.

Trump is still due to pardon the turkeys Tuesday, a White House spokesman confirmed,...[photos at link]

[blueplum]

Corn was born July 2, 2020. He's 32 inches high, likes college football and corn. Cob was also born July 2, 2020. He's 31 inches high, likes puzzles and is a soy boy

[Fledermaus]

I say kill them on national TV.

[DesertRhino]

It was a better country when the President ate the bird the next day. When everything didn’t have to meet the sensibilities of small coddled children.

[GnuThere]

Inaccurate headline - the press will find SOMETHING to criticize.
“Trump looked depressed, Trump didn’t take questions, Trump still acts like he’s President, how dare he!” Etc.

[cld51860]

Not so sure about that. Nothing this man does pleases the media. They always find something to bitch about.

Trump rejects American tradition of Turkeys for Thanksgiving

Trump pardons turleys, won’t stop building wall

Man you know any way they can spin it negative they will

I came up with those two just in one minute

And yes, they will all be half-truths and refer to non-related issues, exactly the way I created those two examples

Got a gift certificate for a fresh turkey from work as a Christmas bonus. Best bird meat ever, from a local turkey farm outside Perrysburg. Yum!

[madison10]

Ohio? There is a turkey farm there?

[waterhill]

I was hoping Jr. or Eric would bag a wild thunder chicken or two and some venison...

But yeah, those birds are farmed to eat. At least youtube it.

[usconservative]

He should’ve named one Beijing Biden and the other Heels Up Harris, followed by an order for their immediate execution, roasting at 350 degrees until done and used to feed the homeless for all the good that would’ve done!

[W.]

Turkeys abound here! Farmed and otherwise...

[GraceG]

Someone should run on not pardoning the turkeys...

They might win on that alone!

[KarlInOhio]

Worst job in the country: Presidential Turkeys #3 and #4. You thought your higher draft number would allow you to avoid the slaughterhouse, but then #1 and #2 get a pardon and you get sliced by Donald Trump like a CNN reporter.

Corn and Cob, two Broad-Breasted White turkeys

If the chumps in the lame steam media, want to criticize Trump, this will be it. They will say he is a racist, because the turkeys are white. 🤪

[W.]

Britten turkey farm, it’s online. Not cheap, but you get what ya pay for! Best we ever had!

[Jaysin]

Trump should go all out before 21 Jan and pardon thousands of minority violent felons in federal prisons. screw it. put em back on the streets and let them join the rest of the riot squad.

[Hypo2]

“Corncob” was a bad dude...

[Zack Attack]

Oh I wouldn’t bet the house against Nanci filing impeachment papers over this pardon.

[KarlInOhio]

Ohio? There is a turkey farm there?

Ohio's Turkey Farm, a.k.a. the Ohio Governor's Mansion

[ctdonath2]

Oh I’ll criticize that pardon.
Something fowl is going to be on the table come Thursday, and pardoning these two elite clods just passes the sacrifice to some working-class turkey.

Were I somehow POTUS and survived to Thanksgiving, I’d render the ceremonial bird metabolically fit for basting.
