Can't Even Pardon Turkeys With Class

[Cow Poke]

Just watched Trump pardon the Turkeys, Peas and Carrots.

Even in this family friendly silly 'pardon', he couldn't just do it with class - he had to make dumb political attacks while claiming Thanksgiving is all about unity.

This is an oldie but so appropriate in my opinion.

It was the first thing I thought of when the article said that the turkey died from "something heat-related". My first thought was "They cooked him!"

Haha. Cobbler and Gobbler.

Nixon pardoned 409 turkeys. Clinton pardoned 456 turkeys. Not counting the ones with feathers.

I hope "Peas" and "Carrots" were the names of the turkeys...

With what class will he have when he 'tries' to pardon the flock of turkeys from all the indictments including his own handed down by Mueller.

The pardoning of Turkeys is supposed to be an apolitical practice - a symbol of good will. That he had to politicize it is the 'lack of class' to which I referred.

The pardoning of felons is something members of both parties have done for ages, and IS political, and often lacks class all around. I'm sure we could build a bipartisan list of "lack of class" pardons without a whole lot of effort.

It's always struck me as being akin to a Gormenghast ritual - something done purely because it's been done previously, with no reference to why it began.
