Just curious.

I hate Trump's new hairstyle.

[TwoStep2888]

new Ohio abortion law is scary; like I said before there's more ways to attack women's reproductive rights than overturning Roe v Wade

[ExistenceNow]

Yea, that's real bad.

Not sure what it has to do with liberal media bias... it's almost always the incumbent Prez in election years.

Agreed. I've never really paid attention to the Time Person of the Year but this is true. I think it was a given that whoever won would be the person of the year. I don't think this can be used as an indication that the media is unbiased or suddenly loves Trump:

So the libs in this thread (and justink) going to get behind Trump's massive stimulus plan?

Nope. I've been saying all along he was going to explode deficits and the debt, and I think that's bad.

Not that stimulus is inherently bad, but he has not intentions of paying for it, and the more it is used in a small period of time the more the returns from the use of that economic tool are diminished

Gross. A white supremacist as Person of the Year?! Way to normalize a complete idiot and his merry band of idiots bad behavior. Time further proves itself to be the journalistic equivalent of toilet paper.

Hitler was Time's 'Man of the Year' in 1938

Pretty sure Donald isn't worse than that

[DMBstandUP1984]

Justink isn't a lib? I thought he was doing like a Stephen Colbert thing in here?

Orpheus was legit crazy. What happened to that guy?

Panther was like those Bang-Snap poppers. Very sudden, loud, and left a small mess behind; but ultimately harmless.

as ky said, no other option for person of the year than trump

I support most spending on infrastructure: revitalizing roads/bridges, updating electrical grids, investments in alternative energy, etc.

I don't support tax cuts really of any kind at this point. We can't afford the status quo from the (R) which has been big gov't spending with lower gov't revenue. I do support simplified tax code that is revenue positive to the gov't...I think you could do this by lowering taxes on the lower/middle class slightly (really just making sure their taxes don't INCREASE during the simplification so erring on the side of slightly lower), keeping taxes on upper class flat except for taxing ALL income as income...dividends, cap gains, inheritance, etc. Lower the corp tax rate a bit, get rid of loop holes so effective tax rates stay the same. Pay for the infra spending by allowing US companies to repatriate overseas profits at a discounted rate with some sort of stipulation that they reinvest a portion in the US economy and not just issue larger dividends and buy back shares with all that money.

[MDPrompter]

They really should have given it to Obama just to piss off Trump. How awesome would that have been? Or Michelle...even better. Or HRC...even BETTER!

who is that biased against?

[Gene Parmesan]

Seems like "we've never been more divided" has been a theme after every election since 2000.

Which is always comical to me, because it leaves out the whole thing where the country was actually divided into the Union and Confederacy

Remember when they made Bill Clinton share person of the year with Ken Star

We've been divided since Plymouth Rock....right guy?

If you're trying to sell news what better headline can you get than: "Nation Is Divided! And Sex!"

I watched part of his "speech" from TAMU last night. Some local news station in College Station was airing it live on FB.

Dude is a colossal clown. He's not a great speaker, he misuses words routinely, and he dresses like the cool guy in the 90's highschool drama.

Embarrassing that some students showed up to that thing.

[cazzie34]

Cool guys in the 90s high school drama wore ill-fitting suits?
