Joe Biden & Kamala Harris are Time's Person(s) of the Year.

[Drunken Irishman]

Much, much deserved.

[Walleye]

1. Excellent choice!

[TheBlackAdder]

34. I'll say it. Suck it, Trump! 🤣

[Initech]

38. Oh I bet he's going nuts right now!

[TheBlackAdder]

56. MAGAts be like: " Oh, just like Obama winning the Nobel Peace Prize. Just had to win an election."

[malaise]

69. Killa Kon must be seething

[calimary]

75. Fuck him.

That's all I've got for him at this point.

,,/,

[dweller]

2. Oh hell

LINK !?1

✌🏻

[bullimiami]

3. That's gonna sting.

[Funtatlaguy]

7. 😆 😆 😆

[MLAA]

33. That's going to leave a mark!

[calimary]

64. And ain't it great!"

[OAITW r.2.0]

4. Trump must be doing rage pirouettes now....

hope he strokes out on this because this is what he really care about.

[Captain Zero]

65. Cheetolini will probably petition the Supreme Court over it

nt

[housecat]

83. Cheetolini LOL thanks

[dalton99a]

5. Great choice.

[Cha]

6. Oh Wow.. of course! But I thought

i read on here that it was the Health Workers?

Oh this is Gonna Piss Off some maggots.

Awesome pic! Love how they Changed the Story!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

8. Health workers were the top readers' choice, but Time doesn't always decide

on that basis.

[Cha]

11. Oh TY! I say it's a tie.. they all

have been critically important this year.

[marlakay]

45. That is my choice

Joe and Kamala are great and I am looking forward to them but the healthcare workers put their life at risk daily with very little time off deserve it the most.

[BobTheSubgenius]

76. I agree.

As much as I like and admire The Ticket - which is a great deal - they haven't done much yet, while the healthcare workers are doing heroic service every single day, as you say. OTOH, if they tapped Drumpf in 2016, the same logic applies today, and they deserve it.

[RicROC]

93. totally agree with you.

As much as I like Joe and Kamala, I think the healthcare workers are the heroes of 2020

[sheshe2]

16. Changing Americas Story.

I love this.

Beautiful, Cha.

[Cha]

25. I know!.. from the darkest caverns in the underbelly

of the world.

To Sunshine & REALITY.. no small Feat!

[wnylib]

57. Well that ought to fry Trump's one remaining neuron.

[Cha]

58. ..

[WinstonSmith4740]

87. I thought the health care workers would get it, too.

And they certainly deserved it. I'll bet it was a tough, tough choice...I'm glad I didn't have to do it. But I guess the editors at Time thought that saving Democracy merited some praise.

[Cha]

89. Yes, & Democracy Will Help the

Healthcare Workers!

[Chili]

9. on this morning's Joe Scar show...

...they were discussing the four possibilities (paraphrasing): the COVID frontline health care people; the concept and importance of the summer protests, that asshole in the WH, and those two outstanding people above.

Good choice! (though I'm sure the frontliners and the protests were tied for 2nd - I hope).

[Cha]

17. I said in my post above that

the Frontline Health Workers & Joe & Kamala are tied, imo.. they all have been critically important this year.

Hopefully the Health Workers will be much safer after Biden & Harris take Over!

[Chili]

23. the health workers' frustration with people who refuse to believe the virus is real

... is painful to watch. They fight back the tears, which of course makes me cry.

In my head, they are linked - Biden/Harris will work hard to get the virus under control and give the frontliners the break they so desperately need, while at the same time, initiate police reform so badly needed that will bring us all together. Well, those who want to be together.

But the orange jackass - he ain't in the picture.

[Cha]

27. Bravo.. Well Said, Chili!

[Chili]

37. if we can win in GA...

... Biden and Harris might go down in history for saving this nation. They have so much to do, and such opposition, such colossal effing challenges. But if any duo can do it, they can.

But we do need the Senate!

Yeah, lighting that candle for them...

[Cha]

48. Yes, Light some Candles for GOTV Georgia!

For Jon Ossoff & Rev Warnock

[calimary]

74. Writing 50 more postcards to Georgia voters.

Just got my second batch. This round needs to be mailed out between December 26th and 28th to be timed correctly, so I have time to get 'em all done.

The first one had to be mailed before the 7th.

[Cha]

82. Mahalo, calimary! That's what it takes..

I get these texts from repubs about GOTV in Georgia.

They think I'm this big donor named "Jerry" & they are Relentless! And, can't understand why "Jerry" never responds to their hundreds of texts throughout the primary, too.

:Hi:

[bdamomma]

28. Our healthcare

workers need some extra love too. It's been a war for them. Deniers do not want to hear the truth from them concerning this deadly virus.

[Cha]

35. I've read those stories on DU.. that

is the sickest Brainwashing ever!

[marlakay]

50. A doctor from ICU in Cleveland

Called in to Howard Sterns show this week and said when this is over many many doctors are planning on quitting. They feel they weren't properly taken care of and it wasn't worth it.

Hoping when Joe's people are running the top health departments they change their minds. Most will need a month off after this.

[smirkymonkey]

77. I agree. I honestly though that they should have been the recipients of this award.

Nothing against Joe and Kamala, I love them and I am so glad this will be a huge insult to Trump, But IMHO, the healthcare workers were the most deserving of this award.

[Elwood P Dowd]

10. There won't be a normal little Trump Tweeter Storm about this....

It will be a Cat 5 Trump Tweeter hurricane unless the adults take away his phone.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

13. Maybe his head will explode for real.

[Cha]

18. One can Hope.

[still_one]

12. One of the few times I approve of their choice

[mcar]

14. Woo hoo!

[fierywoman]

20. So is it and Ruday going to start suing Time Magazine for stealing his cover?

[niyad]

[herding cats]

36. Awesome!

Added bonus: Trump will be livid over this!

[TryLogic]

40. Awesome! That's the word I was looking for.

[My Pet Orangutan]

39. This is the TIME cover America needs right now !

[question everything]

41. And he huffed and shouted: no, it should be me

[Marie Marie]

46. Wasn't there something about Trump having a picture of a fake Time cover with HIM

as Man of the Year hanging in Mara -Bed Bug?? Or am I wrong?

In any event - Tee Hee. this is really gonna piss him off. Love it.

[question everything]

49. Yes, there was. Of course he was man of the year for 2016, I think

But last year was angry that he was not. Always the me, me me

[OneBlueSky]

42. Trump is undoubtedly going batshit crazy seeing this . . . love it! . . . n/t

[onecaliberal]

43. It's defcon 1 in dump world.

This is going to be an earthquake. He may even fling his shitty diaper at the fake media.

[nolabear]

44. SO MUCH HOPE. So much hope is pinned to these fine people.

Oh, and SUCK IT, SPANKY!

[NoMoreRepugs]

47. Somebody is gonna really have a HissyFit.

[usaf-vet]

51. I'll bet that this doesn't end up framed and on the wall at Trump's golf clubs. What and no Nobel?

LOSER!!

[ailsagirl]

52. dump will insist the votes were doctored

As I recall, as I was voting myself in Time's poll, I noticed that dump had about 3% yes.

[lunatica]

53. Excellent portrait art

[3catwoman3]

61. It sure is.

I had to look twice.

[Blue Owl]

54. Suck it Donny you fat piece of shit

[ffr]

55. What a portrait!

Magnificent!

[Dream Girl]

59. And next year they will be awardedthe Nobel Peace Prize.

[JohnnyRingo]

60. Are they trying to start a freakin' nuclear war?

Do they even know who they're dealing with?
Trump will see this and go ballistic! Maybe ICBM ballistic, if that gets him on the cover of a magazine.

Duck Iran!!

[StarryNite]

62. Excellent! "Changing America's Story"

[sprinkleeninow]

63. One who has 'knowing' can 'tell'. Whatta difference. 😍

[UCmeNdc]

66. K&R

Beautiful

[North Shore Chicago]

67. trump was given

an honorable mention at Der Spiegel magazine (the largest European magazine.)


Donald Trump '' Loser of the year"

[joshcryer]

68. One final fuck you to Trump.

I like it.

[Mike Nelson]

70. I hope...

... Joe and Kamala are "Persons of the Year" 2021... sadly, I think Crooked Donald had more of an impact on 2020.

[TNNurse]

71. As much as I love Joe and Kamala

I think the Healthcare Workers should be it.

My husband and I sent some snacks to the critical care units and COVID floors of the hospital where we used to work. We ordered from a place that I do not eat anymore because of their LGBTQ problems....OK, it is Chick-fil-A, but it was what the nurses requested and it was what they got. Even got an alert from my credit card company for such a large charge at Chick-fil-A.

It is a small community hospital...rarely are there 200 inpatients...last night more than 60 were COVID patients.

[smirkymonkey]

78. Totally agree with you.

I adore them, but I really think it should have been the healthcare workers as well. Time blew it on this one.

However, at least it will piss Trump off beyond belief.

[PatSeg]

72. Oh, I love that picture!

Kudos to Time

[dixiechiken1]

73. Trump's head in 3, 2, 1... 👇👇👇👇👇

[KY_EnviroGuy]

79. Lovely, and healthcare workers did get Guardian of the Year award!

This made international headlines: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-55270322

Excerpt:

US President-elect Joe Biden and his running mate Kamala Harris have been chosen as Time magazine's Person of the Year in 2020.

"The Biden-Harris ticket represents something historic," Time tweeted.

The Democratic pair beat three other finalists: frontline healthcare workers and Dr Anthony Fauci, the racial justice movement, and President Donald Trump, who lost the White House race.

Time has been choosing the year's most influential person since 1927.

"For changing the American story, for showing that the forces of empathy are greater than the furies of division, for sharing a vision of healing in a grieving world, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are TIME's 2020 Person of the Year," wrote Time's editor-in-chief Edward Felsenthal.

In 2019, the publication expanded Person of the Year to include such categories as a Businessperson of the Year, Entertainer of the Year, Athlete of the Year and the Guardians of the Year.

So, this year's winners are:

Guardians of the Year:

Dr Anthony Fauci, a key member of the Coronavirus Task Force, and frontline health workers. "On the front line against Covid-19, the world's health care workers displayed the best of humanity - selflessness, compassion, stamina, courage - while protecting as much of it as they could," Time wrote

Porche Bennett-Bey, Assa Traoré, and racial-justice organisers "When George Floyd was killed in Minneapolis in May, it was proof - if anyone needed it - that Black lives are still not treated as equal in America. In the aftermath of his death, a wave of outrage surged and was harnessed by organisers, both veteran and newly energized, to bring millions to the streets and spotlight the inequities in a world that claims to be far better than it is," Time said

Not likely to be seen on the wall at Mar-a-Lagoaway or T-Tower.....

Thanks for posting, DI. Loveliest thing I've seen since Nov. 3.

[IronLionZion]

84. Good, healthcare workers needed some sort of recognition

there are people in my life cursing Time for choosing politicians over healthcare workers or even the people who died, but it's good that they are guardians. This has been a historic year on many levels including the racial justice activism and more.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

80. Some wingnut heads are exploding on Time's Twitter page....

Click on the Twitter frame to see the replies, most of which are good but deplorables are also out in force.

[Nitram]

81. Time is trolling Trump! I love it. Too bad the didn't honor medical personnel, but tis was too

delicious too pass by.

[Dukkha]

85. I'd like to have seen a mention of The Essential Worker

2020 saw a shift in attitudes towards those who work in jobs normally dismissed as "unskilled laborers" to recognizing their roles in our community as essential. Everyday people who worked long hours constantly at risk of exposure so others can have necessities other than selfish hoarders.

[LaMouffette]

86. Look at the care, concern, confidence, and intelligence in Joe's and Kamala's eyes!

Just looking at our two new leaders brings me a sense of calm.

[LudwigPastorius]

88. Don the Con is having a bad week, isn't he?

I wonder if he's wandering the halls of the White House at night, whacked out on Ritalin, gripping a bucket of KFC, and muttering to himself.

[WinstonSmith4740]

90. Isn't that what he's been doing?

For the last four years? Just asking for a friend, because many, many people are saying that.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

91. Goosebumps! 🥲

[KentuckyWoman]

92. I am offended by it. Honestly.

Don't misunderstand, Biden and Harris are amazing in my book.

But Medical care workers are saving this country, and making insane sacrifices to do so. There are not enough accolades, medals, bonuses etc to compensate for what they've given.

Cover of Time is just symbolic, and the least we could do.

[JI7]

94. It's not really supposed to be an "award" . It's more about news makers

[KentuckyWoman]

95. understood but

(the big but)

I'll let my comment stand. It is only my very humble opinion, but I do feel it quite strongly.
