I'm old enough to remember when Time was considered a moderate news magazine.

This is delicious!

Polling says the fauxcoup impeachers are causing irreparable harm to the globalist losers, and they have print ready stories queued up they can’t pull back on.

Keep those print machines spun up dorks! Dig dig diggity dig.

Actually, that’s not the Kremlin. Time has St Basils Cathedral taking over the White House. Rather odd...

Maybe Time is predicting a religious revival. LOL

I think some of the lower red brick on the cover illustration refers to the Kremlin, but I also find it interesting that they put a Byzantine church on the cover as representing Russia. It is, of course, most recognizably Russian in its architecture, and it is on Red Square.

But those at Time are too ignorant to get the ironic message that the Communists suppress religious freedom while Trump celebrates such freedom.

LOL, so basically Time picked a symbol of Christianity resurging in Russia to pose against the White House that has just endured 16 of the last 24 years wallowing in sodomy and state atheism.

So, are we now to believe that Trump’s in collusion with a museum in Moscow, rather than with the Russian government?

Maybe the 'readers' they have are fake. That would account for the arrogence - and the fact none of us know of anyone who subscribes....

Could it true Democrat War Room Thugs BUY digital subscriptions to the New York Times and Time Magazine to keep them on the liberal plantation?

Jeremy Peters... have you looked into this?

How unfair would it be to your advertisers - who are paying based on 'eyes on ads' if those numbers are faked? Is it illegal to charge high prices when you know many of the subscriptions are no more than fake "likes"?

If you don't 'verify' readership are you an accomplice to criminal activity?

People at Time and New York Times need to look - - lots of ways to do 'fake likes' AND it would involve fraud when those lies are passed on to advertisers for monetary gain.

There are a few buildings within the fortified area of the Kremlin that have red brick, as does the outer fence, but the main building, the fortress, so to speak, is white.

Actually, it was originally a conservative magazine, founded by Henry Luce.

It's hilarious that they see the Kremlin crawling over the White house as alarming now that Russia is a second rate power, but were not the least concerned when the Kremlin crept over the Time-Life building in the 1960's when the Soviets were a superpower taking over the world.

It's pretty cheeky for a rag that had Strobe Talbott on its staff to worry about the creeping influence of Russia.

Good catch.

I think you've hit upon the Left's subconscious motivation for their newly-found hatred of Russia.

Russia seems to be returning to its Orthodox roots, following the downfall of the Soviet system. They're rejecting the excesses of the decadent West (e.g., refusing to allow homosexual propaganda to be forced on Russian children).

Even Putin has claimed to have gotten religion. (Should anyone believe Putin's sincerity? Probably not – though of course, only God sees into the hearts of men.)

This might be the reason the Left now hates Russia ... because Russia appears to be attempting to become a Christian nation again.

As you can see, the left is descending into madness. It will only continue to get worse over time. Only those with a strong moral compass, will have a chance to survive the arrogance of man.
