The Choice (Donald Trump-Time Magazine Person of the Year)
Time Magazine ^ | 12/7/16 | Nancy Gibbs

Posted on 12/07/2016 6:01:13 AM PST by Lera

This is the 90th time we have named the person who had the greatest influence, for better or worse, on the events of the year. So which is it this year: Better or worse? The challenge for Donald Trump is how profoundly the country disagrees about the answer.

How long before we’re reminded that Hitler was once so honored?

To the extent that the states are divided, the lying whores in the MSM are responsible. As Trump’s Admin. goes on winning for America, those divisions will steadily heal, in spite of the MSM, in all minds except those of the most stupid, brainwashed and hateful.

Hmmm. I’m thinkin’ that a ‘Time’ cover is also irrelevant these days. Kinda like being awarded the “NO-Bell” prize anymore. I mean if the bamster can get a NO-Bell award for doing nothing........

I actually expected them to choose The American Voter as Person of the Year and justify it as everyone participated in the event of the year.

Against the odds, Trump was able to overcome the combined efforts of pundits, government leaders, political parties, and a corrupt media and win the election of President of the United States. Although not stated, the efforts of James O’Keefe with Project Veritas and Julian Assange, founder of WikiLeaks, had a significant part in it for exposing the corruption, and possible criminal acts, at all levels at great personal risk to both of them.

“One insult after another....” which is precisely why I will NOT buy even 1 copy. I hope nobody else does. I hope they eat their yellow journalism crap.

Did they cast doubt in 2008 when they named zero MOTH?

Better of worse?

They would not breathe "worse" in the context of Obama.

Donald’s face is half in darkness so they’re pushing the image of a dark, scary unknown who is ready to jump out and bite us.

Well, to be fair, the little remark doesn’t quite explicitly blame Donald Trump. I think they might be trying to cast aspersions, not realizing that aspersion casting has mutated now. In a way it could be seen through older eyes. It would be like talking about Abraham Lincoln and divided America, a situation that was brewing long before he took office but which he inherited the onus of fixing.

[[A more accurate name for Time magazine would be Conflict magazine. It’s really just junk.]]

I think they should rename Did Magazine

DID for dissociative identity disorder
Their writers all seem to suffer from that pathology :)

You couldn’t find something better to read for those two months ? That must have killed some brain cells being subjected to reading that for all time lol

Even though it would be just as divided under their broken down, corrupt Hitlery, except they would refuse to acknowledge those of us who prayed for God’s protection from her and them.

One insultbelly ache after another in the article...

Humbly submit this might be closer to the truth. These people can't appreciate Donald. He's pooping their party.

Usually in a Presidential election year, they pick the winner as the Man of the Year.

I half-expected them to abandon that precedent this year and pick someone else--maybe Black Lives Matter or James Comey (with an article blaming him for Hillary's loss). Or perhaps Bernie Sanders.

I think in 1981 they put the IBM desktop PC as their machine of the year so it hasn’t always been a male human.

And yet, as has happened through history, God has managed to maneuver them into some remarks that reflect on things that they aren’t even trying to blame, but ought to be blamed.

Re: post 18, you took a train ride thru 13 countries and you didn’t stop at a kiosk to update your reading materials? Such an exciting time to sit up all night in a cafe and read the International Herald Tribune with other foreign travelers and locals.

Well, I have seen, this morning, the old “Well they had hitler on the cover once too” crap floating around the bowl of higher thinking.
