Time "Person of the Year" - PLEASE LET IT BE:

[Laf.La.Dem.]

Robert Mueller

Do you think that would upset Trump

[Mike Nelson]

1. Maybe next year...

… we don't know what he's done in 2018. I think Trump is the "Person of the Year (for Good or Bad)"

[hlthe2b]

3. Only if shares the cover with Hitler, entitled, the "TWO MOST CONTROVERSIAL" Persons of the Year

[Small-Axe]

18. Actually that's what they should do.

Trump, back to the reader, rips away at the (still distinguishable) Hitler 1938 cover to reveal his own with the words "for better or worse" giving clear emphasis to why Time made the selection.

Let him frame that at Mar-a-Lago.

[hlthe2b]

2. Robert Mueller would be wonderful, but I'd let him wait for next year if Kashoggi could get it.

Maybe Kashoggi in the middle surrounded by representatives/symbols of all the US and worldwide press.

[CrispyQ]

5. Kashoggi, yes, with the global press.

I like your idea!

[RainCaster]

22. I like it!

It needs to be the press, as weakly milquetoast as they have been.

[pazzyanne]

37. I vote for that!

[Roland99]

4. "Immigrants"

[BootinUp]

6. Good one. Nt

[SeattleVet]

13. "Asylum Seekers"

[Roland99]

15. Yes.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

7. I'm hoping for Jamal Khashoggi

but if Mueller drops Mjölnir on Trump and his cronies, it will be him next year.

[Dave Starsky]

8. The Parkland Students

Can you believe it's only been a little over nine months since the shooting? Those kids have finally put gun crazy politicians on the ropes. Every one of the NRA's endorsed congress critters got pink-slipped in this election.

[dameatball]

16. I like this one. They need to stay in the news over the many distractions.

[JDC]

19. My Vote here

[Bfd]

27. Yup. This is my prediction. And it is who deserves this mention

They rose far above what they should ever have been called to do.

Please be the Parkland Students

[0rganism]

34. +1

[LonePirate]

9. A couple of longshot choices here

(1) Somebody/something expansive such as internet security experts for protecting us now and in the future.

(2) Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as the face of a new generation taking charge in America.

[R Merm]

35. That would make him go ape shit crazy, wait he is already ape ship crazy.

[brooklynite]

10. Why would he deserve it?

So far, his accomplishments are limited. What he MIGHT do is speculative.

[Laf.La.Dem.]

12. only to get Trump upset

[Wellstone ruled]

11. Nancy Pelosi.

[Julian Englis]

14. The Freshman Democrats in Congress.... n/t

[eleny]

17. Victims of gun violence

[world wide wally]

20. I say the Parkland kids

[getagrip_already]

21. Didn't Time get sold to some repugnant...

assocrat?

It's kind of in the bag for trump this year unfortunately. They bought the damn magazine.

[erpowers]

24. I Do Not Think So

I think the person who bought the company is a Democrat who supported Hillary Clinton in the last election.

[getagrip_already]

40. ahh, it was sold again.....

From wiki....

In November 2017, Meredith Corporation announced its acquisition of Time, Inc., backed by Koch Equity Development.[18] In March 2018, only six weeks after the closure of the sale, Meredith announced that it would explore the sale of Time and sister magazines Fortune, Money, Sports Illustrated, since they did not align with the company's lifestyle brands.[19]

In September 2018, Meredith announced that it would re-sell Time to Marc Benioff and his wife Lynne for $190 million, which was completed on October 31, 2018. Although Benioff is the chairman and co-CEO of Salesforce.com, Time will remain separate from the company, and Benioff will not be involved in its daily operations

So the koch brothers did own it briefly, but sold it again soon after.......

[erpowers]

23. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

If your goal is to make people's heads explode than that would be the choice. However, I think it will be either women, grassroots activists, or the American people. Maybe it will be Nancy Pelosi, or the Democratic Party.

I think a good case could be made for both Nancy Pelosi and the Democratic Party. By helping to bring about a Democratic Party win in the House of Representatives, Pelosi may have had the biggest impact on the world. Now there will be a check on Donald Trump. That will have a major impact on the United States and the world.

[SKKY]

28. It's hard to see how it wouldn't be her, to be honest.

[dansolo]

41. She hasn't really accomplished anything yet

I would pick the Parkland students, who really have accomplished a lot.

[SKKY]

42. And that would be an absolutely logical choice...

...But, AOC is the face of this most recent Blue Wave. The youngest ever elected to congress. Etc. Etc. Etc. It's almost served up for her to get it. But, having said that, the Parkland students would be an excellent choice as well.

[watoos]

32. I agree with AOC

mainly because she represents the vast diversity of Democratic candidates who won election.

My god, look who won House seats for the Repugs, I think there was 1 or 2 women and that was it.

[Cal Tek]

25. American Institutions

Thus far, they've prevented the Orange Asshole from establishing a dictatorship. But they need our support, in the streets and the voting booths all across the country.

[MaryMagdaline]

26. California Fire Fighters

[duhneece]

29. I wish you a Mueller Christmas, I wish you a Mueller Christmas

Jingle cuffs, Jingle cuffs...

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

30. It should be the voters.

They have taken the country in a different and better direction, and decisively told Donnie Two Scoops "f*ck you!"

[bitterross]

31. The Parkland kids would be good.

It would make a nice statement. But, you have to remember, Hitler was the person of the year in 1938. So there is precedent for a despot to be named person of the year.

[question everything]

33. The new women elected to Congress and to state Houses

Make it a composite, please. Not ACO, not Omar.

[Fritz Walter]

36. Tyler Linfesty. Just to give Minus apoplexy

Who's Tyler Linfesty?
Plaid shirt guy!

Just for upstaging "46-Minus-1" and pushing him closer to the fatal stroke or heart attack, Tyler's my hero!

[Cartoonist]

38. Avenatti

Just kidding

[TheCatQueen]

39. Maybe Christine Blasey Ford?

But I think the Parkland students are the best choice. Evil, Ignorant, Orange Asshole Turd of the Year is the only prize Drumpf would win.

[tavernier]

43. I think children locked in cages by the American government

on American soil would be a plenty big story.
