Donald Trump Pardons Turkey, Runs Afowl of the Internet


Every year in November, the President of the United States pardons a turkey.


But there"s never been a President of the United States quite like Donald Trump.


Therefore, Twitter had an understandable field day with photos of Trump at the pardoning ceremony, turning this annual tradition into a running joke, memorable meme style.


See what we mean below…




1. Sorry, Stovetop


Sorry stovetop

Try harder to be the BEST next year.



2. Yes, Trump is a Turkey


Yes trump is a turkey

But don’t pardon him!



3. Wait, You Want Me to Touch a Turkey?


Wait you want me to touch a turkey

Yeah, right. Bring me my towels!



4. Picture Him Making the Dr. Evil Laugh


Picture him making the dr evil laugh

That will make this one even funnier.



5. Maybe I’m Not Actually Pro-Elephant Hunting


Maybe im not actually pro elephant hunting

These guys are pretty cute.



6. Just Kill Me Now


Just kill me now

Get me out of this photo op, please.

Russian Ambassador to Turkey Killed in Possible Terrorist Attack

Frightening news out of Turkey today, as Andrey Karlov, Russia’s ambassador to Turkey, was assassinated in what appears to be an attack motivated by Russia’s military presence in Syria.


A photo taken moments after the attack began circulating on social media this afternoon.

The image a wounded Karlov lying on the floor, while his unidentified assailant addresses onlookers:


“Allahu akbar (God is great),” the man reportedly shouted.


Witnesses say he proceeded to rave about the motivations behind his attack, chanting:


“Do not forget Aleppo! Do not forget Syria! Do not forget Aleppo! Do not forget Syria!” 




Andrey Karlov


Insiders report that Karlov died shortly after the attack.


The shooter, who opened fire at an event to celebrate the unveiling of an art exhibit, wounded at least three other people.


He was later killed by police.


The shooting comes on the heels of the Assad regimes victory over rebel forces in Aleppo.



The fate of the residents of Syria’s second-most populous city remains unclear, but Secretary of State John Kerry has described the situation in Aleppo as the worst humanitarian crisis since World War II.


While the shooter made his anger over the fall of Aleppo clear, he was likely motivated by a number of factors involving the complex relationship between the Turkish and Russian governments.


Relations between Turkey and Russia were badly damaged in November of 2015, when Turkish forces shot a Russian warplane out of the sky near the Syrian border.


Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan offered an olive branch to Vladimir Putin by writing an open letter of apoloigy to the family of the pilot of the downed plane.



As a result, when Erdogan quelled a military coup in July, Putin was among the first world leaders to call and offer support.


Putin’s partnership with the murderous Assad regime has long been a source of international scandal, and based on his comments, it seems that the shooter was outraged over Erdogan’s renewed relationship with Putin and tertiary connection to the massacres in Aleppo.


We’ll have further updates on this story as more information becomes available.

Lindsay Lohan to People of Nice & Turkey: Turn Down For What?!

Lindsay Lohan wears many hats.


She’s an Instagram model; she probably still thinks of herself as an actress – but most importantly, she’s the international peacekeeper the planet needs right now.



You may scoff, but that’s only because you haven’t read Lindsay’s 2-point plan for saving the world:


1. Fold history in half, whatever the f–k that means.


2. Get every dictator on the phone, then be all, “Turn down for what?!”


Linds posted the above photo last night (in which she tagged Victoria’s Secret), along with a caption reading:


“If history were to be folded … Where would we put the crease? Pray for the ones we lose everyday and appreciate every breathe you take #nice #turkey #turnup and do something (goodnight and sleep with an idea for the future)”


Yup. Linds is totes enlightened these days – but she’s still not great at the whole “stringing words together to make a sentence” thing.


Hilariously, now she’s dating a rich Russian guy, Linds obviously fancies herself a citizen of the world.


She’s like Bogart in Casablanca or that girl in your western civ class who did a semester abroad and came back with an accent.


Gone are the days of stumbling in and out of limos on Sunset.


Now, Lindsay throws people’s phones in the ocean while vacationing on exotic Greek islands, and she comments on world affairs just like she saw the people on the tee-vee do.


When was the last time you saw someone in Congress advise the people of Nice to turn up? Exactly.


Of course, it’s possible we’re misreading this whole thing, and Lindsay really just wants some nice turkey and turnips for dinner.


Like Ulysses, critics will be unpacking this thing for decades.
