What in the hell is this?! The chairman tweets, “Protect our ducks and kittens in Ohio” because he goes down some crazy rabbit hole, completely debunked that aliens are eating pets. My God, are you ok, Mr. Chairman? Because last year, for a very long time, you tweeted and promoted Kanye West as he was calling for genocide against the Jews and you kept it up. And now when we have victims coming here, you’re tweeting this nonsense.

I, I don’t know why you would do this. I hope you’re ok. I don’t know if the aliens who are eating your ducks are in the room with us right now. But, Mr. Chairman, this is a serious issue. These people have loved ones who have been lost. And you tweeted this.

      I mean, I don’t eat meat at all myself, but I seem to remember ducks are farmed for their meat…

      Also, the big, manly hunters these folks love hunt ducks.

        Yup! They’re farmed for meat and eggs.

        My wife loves duck but they’ve gotten too expensive to buy regularly. Definitely a special occasion thing.

            Wild duck meat can also taste kinda fishy, I think due to their natural diet.

            Haven’t noticed it in the eggs but if I’m eating duck eggs they’re usually salted duck eggs which is a whole ‘nother experience.

            They shouldn’t be fishy at all; I’ve had hundreds in my life (they are the standard here), they’re just richer.

                  Considering several other people said wild duck eggs taste fishy, I’m thinking that it’s a fish diet on the duck’s part rather than the grain it would be fed on a farm.

                    The two others mentioned the meat can taste “kinda fishy”, not the eggs. The other said farmed ones don’t taste fishy, they’re just richer.
