I love Trump's body language, and Melania seems genuinely amused.Sorry but we’ll never have this much fun ever again

Good thing they didn't call it Nancy.
Turkey is a member of NATO.
He should have stuck to reality TV. Now his goose is cooked.
The goose that laid the golden egg?
I would like to be president just so I could pull out a sword and chop the Turkey's head off then tell the cook to get it ready for dinner.
The joke is getting old. We are going to slaughter how many million turkeys over the next 40 days?
I wonder how they got the turkey to stand still.
Trump’s golden egg, unsurprisingly, turns out to be gilded gold and is rotten on the inside. And now it is starting to crack.

Ha! Nice.

Yet another iteration of "the walls are closing in."
Sure.
Executive pardon power.
Male turkeys stand out with their colorful plumage and heads, long beards, and spurs. They gobble loudly and are typically more aggressive. Meanwhile, female turkeys are smaller, with more muted feathers and heads. They’re often quieter and focus on caring for their young.

Is it sexist that female birds are not pardoned? Is this business in the punter"s favor?

You don't know Jack.
Is there a turkey's old folks home? A special place for pardoned turkeys to live out their days?
I'm always struck at how attractive a personality Trump can be at times. Contrast that to a dud like Yeb, or a pompous bore like Romney, or the truculent egomaniac John McCain.
At least he didn't call it a "türkiye": that might have caused an international incident. Or maybe he's waiting until Erdogan annoys him to use that joke.
"Beautiful bird"? It looks to me like that bird is having a bad feather day.
Speaking of the stench of rotten eggs, the lefties are up to their usual, paranoid, shitbird antics…

So far this week the Left has pushed:
- A Seditious message to our military
- Fake story about the Chief of Staff getting fired
- Fake story about the Attorney General getting fired
- Fake story about the FBI Director getting fired.
The question is why, and why now?
I for one look forward to the completion of thawing of the frozen Riverside Brand 13 pounder in my fridge today and its brining overnight in that same fridge, using an aqueous solution of dark brown sugar and kosher salt, in preparation for its roasting in a Reynolds roasting bag, with exposure outside the bag at the end of cooking for a bit of browning, for crispy skin and deliciously moist flavorful turkey meat. Only a 13 pounder this year, just me & the wife. Should all be gone by Sunday. On to Christmas!
This stupid farce should be brought to an end. I am amazed that DJT goes along with it too, tbh. What's the message here Mr. President? Are we all supposed to be vegetarians now?
I was watching that and got a little annoyed with Trump droning on and on.
I love Melania, bu u u t t t t t ...... what's with the dumpy outfit? Hiding some hip issues?
Could it be time for a trade-in, PDJT?
A couple of weeks ago, just for fun I looked at the frozen geese in the meat case at Publix. A regular sized one (about 7.5 to 8 lbs.) cost $155. WTF.
I roasted a goose for a couple of Christmases years ago. Very bony, very fatty, very little meat on them.
I fried my turkey and a duck today in the early morning hours, for the 33rd consecutive year.
A big beautiful bird. Coincidence? Or conspiracy?
A funny video showing how stupid turkeys are:

One of my wishes to see before I die is a president who says, "No, I think this bird will look fabulous on the dinner table- no pardon this year."
"Gobble" and "Waddle?" I'd have gone with Turkey McTurkeyface.
Melanie I guess is done with her mission to get Ukraine to release all the children kidnapped from Russia. Time for some well-deserved relaxation.
Melania's "mission to get Ukraine to release all the children kidnapped from Russia"? There are no such children. On the other hand, tens of thousands of children have been kidnapped from Ukraine by Russia. I hope you just mixed up your words, and didn't mean to write what you actually wrote.
A turkey is a remarkably ugly bird, not beautiful at all, and not exactly delicious either. My favorite part of the turkey is ham. Happy Thanksgiving to the first family, to Professor Althouse, and to all of you, too.
No Turkey is above the law, unless of course, you pay Trump off. The corruption is so obvious. He's not even trying to hide it.
Well he identified the turkeys alright.
