Fuck 'TIME' [View all]

https://www.cnn.com/2024/12/11/politics/trump-time-magazine-person-of-the-year/index.html

'Trump named Time’s ‘Person of the Year’ for second time'

My words: Ok, folks, here it is. Trump isn't worthy of a TIME cover for either the greatest anything or the worst anything. He's just a goddamn grifter who has conned millions of Americans who are dumb, or mean, or both, and in my opinion that doesn't qualify him.

We can differ on his 'worthiness' for the cover, but I personally object to the blatantly rude and condescending assumption that I was unaware of that fact.

Civility on this site is quickly eroding. Take care. And, Fuck Time.
