> [@Smapti](#): > > Jason Chafftez claims Thanksgiving turkeys cost $90 because of Biden. This is exactly the kind of bullshit that I’ve been outlining in other threads. Joe Billy Bob, who just go a raise, and his wife who just found new job, and who just bought a turkey for $12.50 can now bitch and complain about Biden because they’ve been told that turkeys cost $90 and the economy is going into the shitter. It does not matter that the very evidence IN FRONT OF THIER FACES contradicts this. They are told this bullshit, they believe it and then they repeat it to their friends and post it on facebook. So the idiot MAGA public reports in surveys that they think the economy is terrible. Because they are credulous idiots who lap up propaganda. ---

> [@running\_coach](#): > > Where the hell is Chafftez (more likely a minion) shopping? The “Fabricated Bullshit Store” ETA: From The Independent (UK paper) > According to the American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF), the average price for a 16-pound turkey is $27.35 – at $1.71 per pound – down 5.6 per cent from last year. So it’s just bullshit. But Vern and Glenda in the midwest will eat up this lie and repeat it to all their friends. Even in the face of the fact that they know full well their own turkey did not cost anywhere near this much. ---

Googling, after Jason Chafftez got roasted online for the ninety-dollar comment, he tweeted a photo of a turkey he claims he purchased for $114.02. Of course this was a sustainably raised [Diestel](https://diestelturkey.com/) bird for $4.99 per pound and weighing 22.85 pounds and purchased from [Meiers Fine Foods](https://www.meiersmeats.com/) in Highland, Utah. In short, he went to some trouble to find an expensive turkey from an expensive store. ---

Yes, and various websites pointed that out. They also noticed the similarity to David Brooks’ dumbass comment about his expensive airport meal, which was only expensive because of the expensive whiskey he ordered along with his burger. (Brooks at least had the good sense to admit to being an idiot.) ---

> [@Smapti](#): > > You mean to tell me that his turkey is (saints preserve us!) WOKE? Of course it is, that’s why it was so expensive. And, naturally, he _had_ to buy that one because the non-woke turkeys were cancelled as part of the dems war on thanksgiving. ---

This isn’t a stupid republican idea, but it seems like the right place to put it. The satanic temple opened an abortion clinic and named it after Samuel Alito’s mom, it’s called Samuel Alito’s Mom’s Satanic Abortion Clinic.
