Since the Pilgrims and Wampanoag Indians broke bread and signed a peace treaty in 1621, there has been endless stories perpetuated over the centuries regarding our American Thanksgiving traditions. One certain tradition is the American President proclaiming a 'pardon' for our infamous bird...the Thanksgiving 'Turkey.'
We should not be surprised that our current President who is fast surpassing all previous Presidents in every imaginable category, once again outdistance all POTUS before him. This Thanksgiving week 2018, President Donald Trump pardoned the Turkey, sparing its life, then pardoned The Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia who had a journalist from the USA murdered and dismembered and then pardoned his daughter for doing the same government email thing on her private server as did Hillary Clinton, for which Trump thought was a criminal offense. You gotta love this guy.
In all fairness the Turkey didn't deserve to die and Trump's daughter and Hillary did dumb things with email servers but hardly were those things criminal offenses. That leaves the ordered killing and cutting into pieces a man's body. This Presidential 'wink' and pardon of the Saudi Prince is shameful. Once again this President erodes the moral authority America as he kicks our nation in the groin diminishing our Democratic values, our human rights' values and Judea-Christian. principles. Sadly, our Congress continues to be complicit and the Evangelicals, who speak out about a child being murdered in the womb chooses to remain silent when their President approves and buddies up to murderers the likes of the Crown Prince, Putin and Kim Jung Un.
America under this President puts money ahead of America's tradition of goodness...plain a simple. What kind lines up behind such a leader?
