In reply to the discussion: BREAKING: JD Vance hates eating turkey. EDITED - misheard it. 🦃 [View all]Emrys
(8,842 posts)Trump looks on the verge of sending the military into South America, and possibly whatever part of Africa he can remember the name of on a given day, the last week's been convulsed by Trump casually trying to sell a beleaguered Eastern European country and its allies into death or servitude under his pal Putin's whip by posing a potentially existential dilemma which it's obvious Vance colluded in provoking from cowardly hiding with poorly disguised glee, his party's on the verge of imploding, and he wants to play the edgy wannabe standup in front of a literally captive audience with turkey "jokes".
Now, if he'd asked, "When did you last have to stand around bored out your mind on an airfield listening to a puffed-up 200-pound turkey droning on and on about utter shite?" that might have been a zinger and at least got some sincere laughs.
Anyway, I can't recall the last time I ate turkey (prefer a decent chicken that's preferably not been tortured and terrorized, or a capon if we're really pushing the boat out), but he's as full of shit himself on that "How many times did you roast an 18-pound turkey just randomly?" as much as everything else he smugly spouts.
It seems the snobby faux hillbilly's above shopping, let alone eating, among the plebs, or he'd have seen turkey crowns and various other bits of the bird in just about any supermarket. And don't get me started on turkey burgers, turkey nuggets, turkey strips, turkey tenders, ground turkey and any other form of one of the cheapest sources of animal protein in America in these desperate economic times thanks to Vance and his useless fuckwit boss.
