Race to Be Pardoned

[Zippyjuan]

Deadline is Thursday when one or both may be executed- they are currently holed up in a Washington hotel room. Who would you like to spare?

Soon-to-be-pardoned turkeys are relaxing in a DC hotel




Drumstick and Wishbone, the two turkeys set to be pardoned by President Trump tomorrow, have arrived in Washington DC. They spent Sunday night in a hotel.

Only one of them will get the official presidential pardon — and you can vote on that here https://twitter.com/WhiteHouse/statu...48144348868610 — but after the Tuesday ceremony, both of them will be sent to live at Gobblers Rest at Virginia Tech.

It's about time a president broke that stupid tradition and refused to pardon one bird just to eat another, it just feeds the moronic carebear streak in our culture.

I don't get it, why are both sent to Gobblers Rest if only one's pardoned? Is that an allusion for how DC just-us works?

WTF? I think they should both be executed along with the idiot who came up with the idea to put up turkeys in a hotel room.

A couple of years they flew the turkey in from San Fran, on flight "Turkey One."

Probably during the Clinton years

I didn't know that there were gay turkeys.

Must be GMO.

Those turkeys have it better than most Americans.

Right? I bet Mr A would love to be put up in a hotel and then retired to a farm to free range around for the rest of his life.

[phill4paul]

They can't even stop the expenditures for a dumb-ass tradition and people think they are actually gonna cut anything from the budget?

The Turkish lobby is big in DC, but the most Americans lobby ain't so big.

[Suzanimal]

LMAO, I would, too.

... just another waste of time brought & resources to you by big goobermint.

Hear hear, I was just thinking the same thing.

[brushfire]

Consuming turkey is not a sentence - its part of the cycle of life. No president will ever change this fact.

With that said, having seen how some turkeys must live their lives, I dont really see Thanks Giving as such a bad thing for turkeys.

...just another circus as far as I'm concerned. "Turkeys trying to save turkeys"...

[Suzanimal]

Hear hear, I was just thinking the same thing.

I read an article earlier that said it was a pretty swanky hotel, too. I bet they $#@! all over the place.

[Raginfridus]

They don't seriously room these birds... Its gotta be just long enough for the photograph... right? In any other universe I'd be ridiculed for allowing otherwise, but I just don't know how to call this one.

No, they put them up. The article I read said the $#@!ing turkeys watched football all day.

[Suzanimal]

Damn turkeys have $#@! taste in music, too.

These free birds are celebrating in style.

Wishbone and Drumstick — the two lucky Turkeys chosen to be pardoned by President Trump — arrived at a luxury Washington D.C. hotel Monday to relax before their big public appearance.

The birds were lounging on their beds and watching football in their two-bedroom suite at the Willard InterContinental Hotel in downtown Washington.

...

The White House said that Drumstick weighs 47 pounds and its favorite band is Journey. Wishbone, however, weighs 36 pounds and is country fan who favors Faith Hill and Tim McGraw

If I had money to burn, I'd call them some girls.
