RedState: Like most people in America, I love me some turkey, especially come Thanksgiving time. But also like most Americans, I don’t know much about turkeys beyond the fact that they can get very big and taste very good, especially with stuffing and mashed taters.
But after watching President Biden participate in the annual White House turkey pardoning ceremony Monday, I learned a lot more about turkeys and their mannerisms – and came to have more respect for them in the process.
It all started when a video clip circulated of a turkey named “Chocolate” being put on a table in order to be pardoned by Biden during the event. Biden had a mic in his hand, a dangerous thing as his handlers would tell you – off the record, of course.
After confirming the name of the clearly uncomfortable turkey, he informed it that it was being rescued from appearing on some family’s table to eat in a few days.
He then proceeded to pet it and carry on a short, pretend conversation. Nothing necessarily wrong with that. We’ve all talked to our pets in cutesy voices before, right? From the White House transcript:
THE PRESIDENT: Chocolate, you are pardoned. You are pardoned. He said, “You had to tell me that?” (Applause.) Yeah. Yeah, you are. Yeah. I’m serious.
He said, “I don’t know, man. You didn’t have to pardon me. I knew I was pardoned.” (Laughter.)
But watch the turkey’s reaction to being touched by the POTUS. His feathers fluff up and he gets puffy: more
I have a feeling that it won’t be too long before democRATz start braying about a Jackass Pardon!!
Thank You for this!
Great read and a bonus 4 us

The turkey has the same reaction as the children he touches and sniffs.

“The turkey has the same reaction as the children he touches and sniffs.”
…except the turkey was able to get away and didn’t have parents willing to allow their child to be molseted for nebulous hopes of power and privilege.
I heard that Hunter once fucked a turkey
Many animals try to make themselves appear larger when threatened.
Turkey’s, especially wild turkeys have talons that will rip you a good one, no rattler snake will mess with them. What’s my point? Biden’s lucky he didn’t get ripped, being the snake that he is.
@Goldenfoxx is spot on. I have wild turkeys all over my farm & their talons are a lethal weapon. They are also some of the dumbest creatures on the planet. I have gotten rid of many dead ones after heavy rains. They stare up into the sky with their mouth open & drown. Just some worthless info. Happy Thanksgiving to all of you!!!
So the turkey sez,
Was that a fart, Joe?”
Joe sez “Mostly”.
