President Donald Trump was runner-up in the prestigious ranking, ahead of his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping.

Time designated as "silence breakers" the individuals, mostly women, who came forward this year to publicly expose patterns of sexual harassment, assault and even rape by some of society's most powerful public figures.

I still think the whole point is to sacrifice a few liberals and Democrats to take down the big fish Republicans.

I figured it would be some version of this, of victims speaking up, because there’s a radical change in our culture now. BTW, they should have put a few male victims on the cover, too.

‘I still think the whole point is to sacrifice a few liberals and Democrats to take down the big fish Republicans.’

I agree... they’re running out of memes to ruin Trump - this might be the last grasping attempt -

Seems more like they’re trying to orchestrate a radical change in our culture. Rather than there actually being a radical change in our culture. At this point, it’s merely a change in the media’s willingness to report this stuff.

You may well be right. They normally just ignore these or depend on their allies to simply downplay and/or not report them.

I read an article the other day on Corrine Brown's sentencing to five years in jail for corruption...

The discussion linked to an article was from a Jacksonville newspaper, 1,269 words in the article, and nowhere does it mention her party affiliation.

I must say, I was impressed. I didn't know how they could manage that. /s

And of course, the accompanying article will be all about Trump and Moore, with a few minor sentences addressing the rest...

Good point!

All these “Me too”s came out RECENTLY and get POTY awards. Meanwhile KW, JB, et al have been screaming “Rape!” In a virtual VACUUM! Ignored. Why?

(I know why. It’s a rhetorical question, isn’t it? (That one,too. ))

I wonder if they would have preferred to pick Mueller, but were afraid that might backfire with all the recent revelations about Strzok and others.
