Perhaps, this year, the turkey should have pardoned Trump.

Just created my account not long ago....

Yep. MSNBC aired it a brief clipping of it. I wanted to see whether or not Tяump would pardon himself and throw the turkeys under the bus.

As a "tortle person" I have to say I love your username.
2 desert tortoises + 2 box turtles = 1 "tortle person"

The Turkey was rambunctious so to control the event they just nailed it to the table, after learning that it wouldn’t hurt the Turkey. At least that’s what I read. And it seems perfect for the Nixon staff to do something like that.

where it looked like he had his hair on the road back to becoming blond, especially noticeable in the last second of the video when he turned to walk away. Then again, it might just be my eyes, lol.

Ha! This evening, CBS Evening News played a clip from his pardon in 2018. Trump pardoned a turkey whom he said had lost a "fair and open election" but "refused to concede."
