Seems to me that the most approprate response to this whole controversy would be… to vote for Biden/Harris and then have roast chicken for dinner.

There is a part of me that wants to type, "I will never buy Perdue chicken again … .unless David Perdue gets the everlovin’ shit kicked out of him on Election day. "

I’m just curious if that would cause the company to contribute to his opponent.

You’d think a quick search might be in order before a full-on boycott… It reminds me of all the pre-MAGA idiots that boycotted La Madeleine because Freedom Fries™.

Perdue is a conglomerate that keeps its poverty-income-level contract farmers in perpetual debt, has been sued for polluting Chesapeake Bay with chicken manure, and is being investigated for price-fixing.

Big chicken could stand to go on a diet.

So, where exactly did the company’s “Perdue” moniker come from anyway?

And @fargo116 , the word “perdue” means “lost” in French. Praps that’s what’s gonna happen to ol Dave .

TPM and other news outlets should quote more of what Perdue said.

Look here at 35 seconds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDi7WoY39MA .

He was clearly mocking her name.

Well, the last really big asteroid that hit earth 65 million years ago only killed 70% (best estimate) of all life on this planet. So, yeah, it could be worse.
Or trump could get reelected…

Wealthy white GOP politician from GA is a shameless racist. Story at 11 every day.

Apparently the art of listening is beyond some people. And as for reading comprehension, well that’s a lost art too. It’s much to easy to accept at face value what they read. It’s on the internet…it must be true. And to think these people vote.

I’m joking. “How could it be worse?” is what people said about Trump. I’m equating him with an asteroid. It makes me sad when my little jokes aren’t obvious. :pensive:
