Time Person the Year should be Jamal Khashgoggi

[Danmel]

Trump will lose it.

[malaise]

1. That would be perfect retribution but I doubt that this will happen

Rec

4. Time doesn't have the guts,

plus it isn't exactly a progressive news outlet. Lol, I have been ranting for a very long time about our right wing media. I get a kick when people believe that CNN and MSNBC are progressive, they just put a progressive slant to the right wing narrative.

That Steyer guy should have put his money into a real progressive cable news network with anchors like Charlie Pierce, Stephanie Miller, Keith Olbermann, Dylan Ratigan, Thom Hartmann, Malcomb Nance. I guess the people aren't ready to hear the truth?

27. Gratuitous dishonesty....Time's always been the Lance

Armstrong of wowsa winning (meanwhile 'look away now plz' ole USA was murdering a million Iraqis- with more than 50% of population under 12 years of age!)...Time magzine is the 'Trump farted' news reportage at its most effective!
But Mr Khashoggi would be a honorable POTY!

[safeinOhio]

7. To be fair, balanced and

a burr under Cadet Bonespurs saddle, go ahead and make it John McCain.

[watoos]

10. Excellent choice

[malaise]

17. Oh My

I would enjoy that but my favorites are still the kids from MSD in Parkland.

[safeinOhio]

18. So hard to pick a favorite

[Vinca]

2. An excellent idea.

[duforsure]

3. I think it should be Robert Mueller.

[lastlib]

8. He would have my vote.

[zentrum]

12. Mueller would hate this.

He doesn't want to be a celebrity. He's very low-key, serious and professional. I think it would really bug him to get tied into infotainment--which the cover of Time Magazine is. Would hurt the neutral reputation he needs to retain, to get the results he wants.

[duforsure]

31. I agree

But in our history he will be one of this country's greatest American hero's, and for saving our Democracy and standing up against those attacking our rule of law. He could be President easily when this is all done. He's the most respected person by both parties this country has ,and for good reasons. He's stand for truth, which is exactly what we need no matter who gets in.

[zentrum]

33. It's premature.

Need to wait for indictments and T's removal from office. Otherwise, to be the Time Person and then to not bring everything to a clear fruition, would just make the whole Mueller investigation a twitter joke ad nausea.

[lilactime]

5. I agree.

[watoos]

6. OAC

She represented the new, young, diverse breed of Democrats who were elected to the House.
Time could show a pic of the Democratic winners then beside it a pic of the new Republicans with 1 woman I think.

[Danmel]

15. The last thing we need to do

Is feed AOC's ego.

[watoos]

20. Why is that?

Nancy Pelosi has a big ego too and I'm damn glad she does. What's wrong with AOC having one?

[oberliner]

9. It's "Person of the Year"

Since 1999.

[watoos]

11. OAC is a person.

[oberliner]

23. Yes, indeed

But the OP initially wrote "Man of the Year" - thankfully, since corrected.

[912gdm]

29. you are adorable.

[oberliner]

32. Thanks

I appreciate the kind words!

[Funtatlaguy]

13. I'd choose the freshmen Dem women Congress winners (as a group).

[whathehell]

14. Great idea.

[onetexan]

16. HEAR HEAR!!

[SayItLoud]

19. Excellent suggestion another; TRUTH or

Kids in Cages

[MrModerate]

21. The portrait might be a little offputting. n/a

[Gothmog]

22. I agree

Link to tweet

[lindysalsagal]

24. Absolutely.

[ck4829]

25. Kick

[iDOcareDoyou]

26. How about the kids (as a group) at Parkland Florida's Marjory Stoneman Douglas HS !!!!!!!!!!!

Parkland Florida's Marjory Stoneman Douglas HS kids have done a lot of organizing and taking action.

They are fighting the "Impossible Dream":

Of curbing the NRA

Registering young people to Vote and get Politically interested in their future

Urging the next generation to call out BS and to recognize (and re-discover) the power of the words . . . Never Again!

[denbot]

28. I'll kick and rec this.

Not so much to bother Shitler, but because a free press is critical to a free society.

The mental angst it would cause Cadet Bonespurs is just a bonus.

[Judi Lynn]

30. K & R. Good idea, Danmel. He deserves every possible respect for devotion to truth.

What a towering exception he has been pursuing his profession around these hideous monsters.

Honest, courageous, he soars high above them, eternally.

[Stargleamer]

34. I have the cover all set up for this
