I wanted to puke when I saw Time Magazine put Trump on their cover. They are permanently banned from my reading sources. I will NEVER read one damn article they put out again, ever. WTF is wrong with Time Magazine? Trump is no hero or someone to look up to. Just a con-man & felon! Mob like.
Immoral greedy bastards know the MAGAt sheep will shell out their grocery money for a copy and they'll sell millions. Any modicum of respect they once had in my eyes is gone. Fuckers.
Bingo!
I couldn't have stated my disdain for what TIME has done any better. TIME is now dead to me
Completely agree
Really disgusting.
Trump is really disgusting, but it’s hard to say he hasn’t been the most in the news this year, & most influential. Most of the year he spent in court, & managed to influence ppl to vote for him to stay out of prison. Good or bad doesn’t matter - this is a comp about news, notoriety & influence
It's impossible to say he hasn't "been the most in the news" this year. Crappy qualifier, but yeh... he knows how to make it work to his advantage. And yup, he's been very influential... unfortunately NOT in a good way. Therein lies the disgust.
Same & the fact that he's kept himself in the news for the past 8 plus years, mostly negative news on a large scale. That's what disgusts me too. We are fatigued by this goon.
Sadly not enough of you cared to vote. I’ll never understand why ppl don’t vote.
Who are you referring to?
i thought that was clear - Ppl who didn’t care enough 2 🗳️. 1/3 of Americans don’t 🗳️. From memory, Trump got 49.1% of remaining 2/3, so about 1/3 of voters. So my summary, 1/3 of 🇺🇸 voters - grifters (sml %), - ultra rich (low no.), - bigots, or - mis/dis-informed & believe Trump… But they do🗳️
1/3 who didn’t vote - had structural barriers eg work/no childcare - were taken in by Musk’s disinfo & persuaded not to 🗳️ - couldn’t be bothered
When you wrote, "not enough of you cared" It sounded like it was directed at those in this thread. I think it would have been better understood if stated, "sadly, not enough ppl who are capable of voting in US, voted." But, understand your premise since you expounded.
Perfectly stated.
That’s the trick, ask and I expound. So much nicer than instantly hating on someone a la Twitter
I think you're missing the point of their person of the year award, it's not an endorsement by any means, it's just to signify who the most famous/impactful/notorious person of the year was. Who was making the largest waves? That kinda stuff. (Hitler made the list and so did we!)
Thanks, something I guess I sorta forgot. But, I still hate it, the wounds are still open & prob. will be for some time. I had to google "you" for 2006, I had no idea.
Somehow this leaves out the fact that the owner of Time Magazine is an ardent supporter of the Melon Felon
Somehow? What's the implication? Lmao I just was not aware of that—I'm not even aware who the current owner even IS. I'm just explaining the history of the cover decision. What's he/she said/done?
The dude swore off political donations but still seems to be doing it. However the brief glimpse I did after sorting by most recent shows he gave money to Dems??? Idk www.vox.com/recode/2020/... www.opensecrets.org/donor-lookup...
I stand corrected!
It’s about notoriety & influence. He’s on the cover cos he spent most of the year in the news with criminal cases, & persuaded America to elect him to keep him out of prison. That’s influential. Yes he’s an immoral ignoramus - but Time person of the year isn’t a competition over goodness.
I know this but they already know, he has an unhealthy NEED to be the person of the year. He has now been rewarded, yet again, for his egregious behavior.
We need to make it a laughing point rather than be polarised. We need to laugh at his need for this. We need to laugh at him treating it as an honour. We need to laugh at how his criminality got him the gig, & none of it is earned honourably. He won it cos he is a jerk & preens for cameras.
He is laughable so just laugh. That’s what other countries are doing, laughing at how ridiculous it is that 🇺🇸 voted in such an obvious liar & jerk. So laugh. Point out laughingly that Florida man is that jerk in the news all the time. Use the power of 😆.
Yikes, i’m surprised how many ppl don’t know this. I’m just seeing so many anti-Time posts, judging Time for judging Trump according to the person of the year criteria. I’m feeling old…
The worst part is how it will feed his ego!!!
There is very little that doesn’t feed his ego.
People know this. I mean, come on,Time did the same w Hitler. It's just that the media has been sane-washing🍊for yrs while crucifying Pres Biden for being human.For many,this cover feels like more of the same. Putting Pres Biden on the cover doesn't sell. Putting🍊on does.It's always about the grift.
I'm with you on that!! Never again. How disgusting.
