As Thanksgiving approaches, the annual White House tradition continues. President Trump pardoned two lucky birds — Waddle and Gobble from North Carolina — just ahead of the holiday. And yes, these turkeys even spent the night at a luxury hotel before their big moment today.
The turkey pardon goes way back to 1863, when Abraham Lincoln reportedly spared a bird after his son grew attached to it. Since then, it’s become a quirky holiday ritual: a couple of turkeys escape the dinner table and live to gobble another day.
Of course, Trump couldn’t resist adding his own twist, joking that all of Biden’s past turkey pardons were “invalid” because of the autopen.
So while most of us are prepping stuffing and pies, Waddle and Gobble are officially off the menu. 
Proof that not all turkeys end up on the table. Sometimes they're in charge. Allright... I know that I normally don't allow political commentary on my blog. But the gloves are off on this one. Have at it... it's only fair... I started it.
