Oh, I see. My money being used against my will to illegally invade other countries and kill their civilians by the hundreds of thousands is A-OK.

Got it.

It's not Socialism if they don't want it, iSm. If it has to be forced on them, then it's Democracy.

Not for the squeamish.
Too f*cking unbelievable to be true. But it is.
The following is a link to a YouTube clip. SFW but gross.

Obviously bad PR (though I'm guessing she wasn't particularly aware of what was going on in frame), but I'm not clear why people are reacting so negatively. That's where turkeys come from.

In a few days millions of turkeys will be consumed with great gusto. They didn't appear out of thin air as a frozen ball in the freezer section at Safeway.

Yeah, but how oblivious do you have to be to do an interview in front of that? How can you not know that's going on behind you?
Granted, that's how turkeys are slaughtered for Thanksgiving. But I mean, even if there was no one killing turkeys behind her, who picks a slaughter area as a background for an interview?
This definitely qualifies as dinglecheesery.

Not very.

Seriously. She should at least have been shooting them from a helicopter or something.

Or throwing them from one?

She can see Russia from her house but can't see sh*t going on behind her back.

I dunno. Why not trust the people to do everything else that's done with our tax dollars?

Remind me again what planet you are living on, among what species?
