How about the 39 (or 40?) new Dem members of Congress.

If indictments get unsealed before they publish, the choice of Mueller would definitely cause him to blow a gasket.

The Resistance movement won more elections and grabbed way more headlines than Orange Douche did. It's only fitting!

… is the Person of the Year. TIME says the person doesn't have to be a force for good. Maybe they could separate it as Person of the Year for Good and Person of the Year for Bad?

Choosing the Person of the Year: TIME Editor Jim Kelly

http://content.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,189630,00.html

Question: How could TIME even consider bin Laden for Man of the Year? I'm a TIME subscriber and could not believe they would consider someone of his caliber.

Jim Kelly: Well, the classic definition of TIME's Person of the Year is the person who most affected the events of the year, for better or for worse. I think what has happened over the years is that the Man of the Year title, Person of the Year title, has become non-honorific. It was never meant to be solely that.

If you recall, back in 2017, someone reported on how all his golf courses displayed framed Time covers of him as Man of the Year...each and every one a fake mock-up. Eventually, after it got reported in the national media, they took them down.

I guess you could say they were...fake news.
