- Every year before Thanksgiving the White House holds a national turkey presentation, where the president grants clemency to one lucky gobbler.

I think the turkeys symbolizes fellow politicians
A moment of silence for all the turkey that became a thanksgiving feast 👏
Alright I'm gonna tear that turkey up😋🤤
this is one of those where the comment section is a better read than the article
Agreed-- most -of these comments are pretty funny!! But then, so is Biden!!😀😃😄😄😆😅🤣😂🙂😉😉😊
Because they don't have anything better to do and they think it makes them look good in front of the 20 people that come to watch it
Joe’s playing with animals for Thanksgiving
For publicity. Every single time I get a notification that a president is pardoning a turkey, I roll my eyes and DO NOT TUNE IN.
What do you think each POTUS is publicizing through their annual turkey “pardon?” Btw, ICYMI, you DID TUNE IN. 🤣
@@blue-calla that they're personable and charming, they honor tradition, there are a number of things they could be publicizing. Use your brain
@@realmccoy7632 wrong. Are you tired from that stretch? When every POTUS does it every year, it doesn’t have that effect. Lol. Try harder to help the OP out of the bind they got themself into, simpIeton.
@@blue-calla it's remarkable that you know for certain how media affects the public psychologically. Can you tell me the lotto numbers? I really need to win right now. Will Russia lose the war too? Check your crystal ball.
@@blue-calla I found a troll
Never seen a turkey pardoning a turkey.
🦃-🐓--🦃--🐓
Very informational and fun to learn, thank you!!
Professional courtesy, and hoping to keep the precedent going, in case they need it.
I've heard his son, Hunter called a lot of things but never a Turkey.
You've never heard him called "guilty" either.
How about turkey molester, bet he tried.
@@jimmcmahon217 Wait till January for that one bruh!
This is the best answer yet!!😁😆🤣🤣😂😉😉😉🙈🙉🙊---🙈🙉🙊!!
My initial thought for this president would suggest the old saying "YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT!!" 😀😃😄😁🤣😂😉😉😉
Because they are related!
It's ironic that they pardon the turkeys, cause the turkeys always end up on the Thanksgiving dinner. They weren't pardoned.
Kind of a cute tradition :) Weird that so many of the comments are negative. Thanks for the vid tho 😎
Cute, yes. But it figures H W Bush would the the one to make it official. To take people's mind's off his ineffectiveness. If I had to pick the ONE president in MY lifetime (and I've lived through 11 of them) that defined what Trump called 'the swamp' it would be Bush. I think that guy held more government positions and offices than any other president.
Plot twist:pardon Turkey is Rick
I’m just here for the comments. Do your thing good people!
Happy Thankgiving I am just like you!
"Why Do Presidents Pardon Turkeys?" A title just begging for the best caption!!
There are a whole bunch of them here!!!!!!!!!!!!!😂🤣😉😉😉
Well for this one its somebody on the same intellectual level so its like family!!!!
That's an insult to the turkey!
Lets go turkey
i cant tell ...which one is the turkey
The turkey is the better looking and more alert one.
What do they do with them then after being pardoned.
The turkeys are slow roasted at the flame at the unknown soldiers monument.
Actually, they are sent to a farm to live out their days.
Guessing the recidivism rate for turkey’s is pretty low…
Although it is doubtful the pardoned turkeys actually survive a 2nd Thanksgiving.
** realistically… the race of recidivism varies from state to state… and year to year..
Unfortunately the numbers don’t reflect progress in prison reform…. Often warehousing and worsen low threat criminals with hardened violent ones.
Thanks, for your kind words🥰
Because that is what you do for family
Richard Nixon: “I resemble that remark”.
Just so they don’t pardon the biggest turkey of all time - Biden!
Trump pardoned a lot of turkeys
Cause this one is One
Maybe Biden thinks he can get the turkey vote.
Look at all the Turkeys Trump pardoned and it wasn't even Thanksgiving!
No more than any other president did.
What if I was a turkey? Would that be all I was good for?
You'd still be good for a good stuffing 😉 😜 🤣
I can't stop laughing
@@jowbloe4700 every time I try to stop laughing I started again
@@melaniestarkey7868 I'm good for a nice, dry joke every once in a while.
@@jowbloe4700 I see.
The President pardoned .....? You go ON.. .
So when the next turkey becomes president it can return the favor?
So so so so silly! How many $$$$$$ were spent pardoning the turkeys and for the celebration tea after?
Why do we have a turkey for president?
Why do Presidents pardon turkeys?
Because Americans keep electing them to Congress.
VERY GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🤣🤣😉😉😉😉😉
This year the president's going to slide his son in himself into that pardon.
Did Joe see his shadow today?
That's not until February!
👥
They pardon the turkeys to try to save us from a Turkish invasion.
Cause they have nothing better to do.
Because they can get away with it.
Turkey said Let's go Brandon 🤣
I think Biden was sniffing the turkey, the turkey better be careful around him.
Brandon who?? DUH!!
Can they pardon chickens too?
They pardon turkeys hoping that you feel bad for them in pardon them they're all turkeys
Why are we such idiots?
Exactly! We sit back and take the abuse like a bunch of beeeaaaches!
Its the apathy dude. The current generations running the country are VERY apathetic. As long as they have theirs, they could care less about anyone or anything else.
🦃🦃🦃😂😂😉😉😉
big turkey biden pardens small turkey ahh
Self respect…….
for the lols of
Going to pardon his Son and his brother?
Biden has to, everybody in his family is dumber and more crooked than creepy old Joe, keeping the corruption free as a bird, in this case, Turkey.
YUP!!!!!! DUH!!!!!!!!!🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃😂😂🤣🤣😉😉😉😉😉
This is your major news story newsy? There's more pressing issues to report about. PUN intended.
Nepotism.
Obiden is the biggest turkey.
Why are political parties allowed to operate in government?
because they cant pardon themselves?
Your comment makes me think about that one. I wonder, if the GOP comes up with any credible evidence against Hunter and Brandon come January, if he WILL try to pardon himself? And Hunter! I don't think the Constitution says anything about president's pardoning themselves.
So 5hier son doesn't sit in prison!
Was feeble joe talking to the wrong end of the turkey, send in the Arizona VIU to verify, oh it’s ok, nothing to see here move along.
On no....he was talking to the RIGHT end! 😂🤣
Creepy Old Joe IS the turkey.
🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃You are what you eat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🤣🤣🤣
Waste of taxpayers money
Well, I know of one this year that was pardoned by a poser, but not a president
Joe pardoned himself? Hmm.
In this case, he was afraid ppl will make a turkey with Potatoe Joe.. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Geez, even the turkey complained in his presence!
Nothing else to talk bt.... 🤦♀️
Maybe hoping that act of pardoning the turkey will come back on his family in the future 😂
Yah, like what goes around, comes around!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Why are all the turkey's white?
They aren't---Obama pardoned a few too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🤣🤣😉😉😉
Hard hitting journalism right here. Forget the state of the country, we need to know why a turkey gets pardoned.
@dudecummon ICYMI: 1️⃣ This channel has posted more than one video. Lol. 2️⃣ Just b/c a channel covers one topic, doesn’t mean they don’t cover other topics. 3️⃣ And YT actually allows you to choose which videos you want to see.
lnform yourseIf.
Calm down
We need another civil war
Perhaps it's because they are a turkey!!??!! 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣😉😉😀😃😄😁😅
Trump pardoned a ton of them.
No more than any other president in recent memory.
Is it weird that Brandon has the same look and blank stare as the turkey?
I don't think so. To MY mind, the turkey looks more alert!
Looks like trump lol
In this case he pardons them because they are the mentally equal.
That's an insult to the turkey bruh!
Let’s go Brandon.
LET'S GO BANNON - to jail 😂
Jesus Christ loves you enough to die for your sins. Believe on the name of Jesus Christ and repent of your sins to be saved. May God bless you .
They learn to do it from pardoning each other .
Symbolic of when they do it for their friends
Do you think sleepy Joe potato will try and pardon Hunter if the GOP comes up with credible evidence come January?
Takes one to know one.
presidents and turkeys are closely related although Biden appears as an insult to even the worst of turkeys
Yet he beat trump so an embarrassment beat trump. That's sad
Amen!!!!!!!!!!
Wait, biden remembered what a Turkey was... and that it was Thanksgiving? That should be headline news.
👑👑👑👑👑🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
But no administration pardoned more turkeys than Trump😂
Didn't know Biden was Pardoning himself!
should name the turkey "trump",,,there's a pardon for ya!
Only Biden would try and get an interview with a turkey. I was in disbelief to see him do that. He is so far gone mentally it's elder abuse. This is our president, really. WOW.
Maybe your president but not mine. Didn’t follow the legal process to become one.
Really that bad? Maybe you were asleep during trump..
@@matthewroy7718, Trump 2024
Well, at least he had a DOCTOR by his side. Jill was right there watching!
@@MrThetruthhurts lol Biden beat trump by 8 million votes. Sad how much trump stutters due to his dementia
In this case the exact opposite is true! FJB Let’s go Brandon !
Let's hope that if the GOP come January DOES find credible evidence against Hunter and him that there will be NO pardons!
If anyone here is actually a person who voted for this potato, please comment. I expect no comments of course but Biden might go ahead and make 5 billion accounts like he did with the votes and make it so. I think the turkey saying what he said made more sense to me than any of Biden’s speeches
Your comment makes me think of what used to happen in my own town over 20 years ago. The mayor and council were a bunch of idiots. You couldn't find ONE person who admitted they voted for them. Good and educated men and women ran against them with very workable and achievable platforms. Yet, the same people kept getting elected.
Hallelujah!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😉😉😉😉😉
Better question is why are we still celebrating Thanksgiving? We go back in history and cancel everyone for what they did in the past, let's cancel the Europeans for their crimes against humanity.
What I cannot understand is that if you listen to the news or any other show, they tell you that Thanksgiving is all about spending time with family (and sometimes friends) and the togetherness it brings. That's not what it was about at ALL. It was about giving thanks for the blessings of a new life in America and the bounty of the land that allowed the pilgrims to survive.
Its really a slap in the face to people who don't have family anymore or who have no friends but who DO survive in a country where that seems to get harder and harder for some folks.
All turkeys should be able to live the rest of their days without being farmed for their flesh. The same goes for all animals. Please go vegan this holiday season.
I'm a proud omnivore!!
God himself gave us certain of His creatures to provide for our sustenance. It's in the Bible. What troubles ME is the way the birds and animals are treated while they are being raised. Very cruel conditions. I've advocated for change in that for years.
You can keep the Flesh. I want the Meat.
So they don't get sentenced to knife.
No....they live out their days on a farm.
the presidents hope the turkey might return the favor one day... especially our last president, Osama bin Golfing
LETS GO BRANDON!!!!
Cause they hope they will vote for them later……
It’s practice for when him and hunter are arrested this should be the best arrest in history
Lol and what if they're never arrested?
😀😃😄😁😆😅🤣🤣🤣😂😂🙂🙃😉😉😉
Trump being arrested is best for our country. Hunter isn't even a politician
So people like Trump don’t go to jail 🦃
Or Hunter. At least Trump never took millions from the mayor of Moscow's wife.
@@retroguy9494 💩 Trump was too busy ripping off other people open up a newspaper and read. 👎
@@janicegreene5097 If you are referring to the incidents of not paying contractors the full amounts while they were working on his buildings, there is a BIG difference between the way American business works and a president's son taking money from our enemies.
@Janice Greene So is Hunter. Possibly even sleepy Joe if they can prove a link between his office as senator, VP or president and those payouts!
