My money is on naming the turkey Kim Jong Un, and chopping its head off on live TV. Ideas? ---

When Trump goes about revoking pardons already granted (which are _supposed_ to be irreversible), he only opens the doors to getting Arpaio un-pardoned by the next Prez. ---

> [@purplehearingaid](#): > > I never heard’ Real News Right Now’ until now , I realize it was satire after I posted my comment but it was too late to fixed my post. I will check out Real News Right Now’ Well, I read an article years ago that said the turkeys that are pardoned don’t last more than a few months in any case (which is how I was able to use my eagle eyes to spot the satire), so the birds pardoned by Obama have already shuffled off this mortal coil. I wouldn’t put it past Trump to have them dug up and beheaded, however. 😛 ---

Don Jr. will shoot the turkey, live on TV, in what the Trumps will think is a brilliant pro-gun, pro-America, pro-Thanksgiving message. 36% of Americans will agree with them. :smack: ---

I do not consider the man capable of deliberately deciding to do a good thing. ---
