TRUMP: THE TURKEY REFLECTION
Now tell Tubularsock, just what in the fuck is the President of the United States of America taking the time to “PARDON A TURKEY”?
Well, it makes perfect sense.
It is a perfect extension of American policy. What we do in reality is ALWAYS the opposite of what we say we are doing! Get it yet?
We support the concept of Democracy for the People of the world by supporting, arming, training any dictatorial regime that will support U.S. imperialism. EVEN IF WE have to overthrow a democratically elected government voted in by the people if it doesn’t conform to American hegemony!
Our national leader pardon’s ONE Turkey and then we as a nation go out and have 46 million turkeys slaughtered to eat on one day EVERY YEAR!
Eighty-eight per cent of American families surveyed by the National Turkey Federation eat turkey at Thanksgiving.
Which bring us right to the National Turkey Federation. Tubularsock bets you never knew we had one, now did you?
Yep, we sure do and it is an international non-profit organization whose mission is ‘the conservation of the wild turkey and the preservation of our hunting heritage” to kill wild turkeys. Wow, another loyal corporate lobbying group pushing ahead for managing the kill.
Pretty much like Boeing, Lockheed Martin and BAE Systems for people killing. Sautéed in a French wine sauce and it almost brings our taste buds back to our colonial past.
JUST LIKE THANKSGIVING!
But you really have to ponder, just a little bit, don’t let it get in the way of the leftovers ad nauseam.
Just how culturally programed are we? FUCKING, LIKE TOTALITY!
Here is how, and it will show you that most people BELIEVE ANYTHING if it is packaged right and repeated long enough. (WOULD YOU like to name a president that hasn’t used that technique?)
National Thanksgiving Turkey Presentation is a ceremony that takes place at the White House every year shortly before Thanksgiving. It dates back to the 1940’s as a lobbying technique to promote turkey sales. For a while it was a joint lobbying and marketing tool for the egg and poultry industry as well but that ended and the turkey trot won out.
It wasn’t until 1989 that the concept of “pardon” took hold and caught on to this day. Interesting that the CIA President Daddy Bush was the President to start that tradition.
But still what is lost in this entire scam is the only “tradition” in any of this is turkey sales!
Capitalism at its best ……. NO MEANING, JUST MONEY!
An important moral side note for those that have any morality left in this society:
Benjamin Franklin, who proposed the turkey as the official United States’ bird, was dismayed when the bald eagle was chosen over the turkey.
“Franklin wrote to his daughter, referring to the eagle’s “bad moral character,” saying, “I wish the bald eagle had not been chosen as the representative of our country!
The turkey is a much more respectable bird, and withal a true original native of America.”
Just goes to show you that the birds you hang with corrupt your vision. Tubularsock believes your mother told you the same thing about your friends. Right?
I get it – Turkey pardons Turkey?

You vegan or vegetarian, Tube? Don’t need to answer that, I’m just wondering as I’m totally opposed to killing, either for food or sport. We can do better, but not with that bunch of turkeys in the Whack House. They must be practicing pardoning themselves, but who’d eat ’em in any case? OH, YUK! Speaking of thanksgiving, what thanksgiving? To whom, or what, and how?

Sha’Tara Tubularsock is a meat eater but over the years more sparingly than ever. Much of it having to do with your own concerns about killing.
The sad part is these assholes keep reproducing themselves over and over from both parties.
Even many of the so called women are more like men in their actions.
This new crop in the House show at least some possible hope but Tubularsock has been there many time before and it doesn’t happen for the good!
Time will tell……………
As for Thanksgiving, “to whom,or what, and how” describes it best!
Thank for your thoughts …………….

It’s amazing how much like a turkey Trump is. He’s got a mane; gets red in the face when he’s upset; puffs out his chest when he thinks he’s accomplished something; is part of a concerted effort to “fatten himself up”; is full of stuffing, only his “stuffing” is shit; thinks he’s king of the barn yard; and makes stupid sounds that his base (cult) thinks mean something. And he will become synonymous with Thanksgiving some day when he is out of office. Families will gather around the dinner table on that day and give thanks he is gone.

Bald eagles have “bad moral character”? Do they have cocktails before 5:00 and flip people off in traffic?

Nice to give a damn about a “true original native of America,” the turkey. How thoughtful of Franklin.

Yeah old Ben was very intelligent and could tell the difference between those native American turkeys and those heathen savages with feathers in their headdress.
That is why he fit so well as a Founding Father taking someone else’s land.
Thanks for your comment.

My guess is (and history backs it so it’s not actually a guess) is that if you are a respectable true original native of America you will be hunted down and shot. If you’re a turkey, you will get eaten, if a human being, probably not, but who knows…

Ah-ha! So that’s why they don’t eat each other after they kill each other: their flesh is so full of junk food, it’s poisonous… I always wondered why the critters were so eager to kill each other and then did nothing with the meat, like, what a supreme waste. Now I understand: the killing is for sport and maybe some trophies, eh? Thank goodness, I just checked and it still says, “Earth departure date certain though not yet set.”

I’ve always hated this stupid photo op. I was surprised to learn that it is a fairly “new” tradition dating back to daddy Bush. That screws up my sense of history…Hmmm…I wonder if daddy Bush is also responsible for the green bean casserole? Everybody loves it, but I don’t know why. And do they really love it, or is it just tradition? If they love it so much why don’t they serve it up at Sonic? I think it’s gross…But wait…I think I remember my Aunt Ida making that back in the 70s. I don’t know…I’m all screwed up now…

In truth, Tubularsock blames your Aunt Ida! And Tubularsock will NEVER forgive her!
Thanks for your comment and Tubularsock feels a little more justified in his hatred toward your Aunt Ida.
“Oh sure Aunt Ida, let’s go to the basement. No, come along, don’t be frightened.”
