Would have also been a good choice, but there's nothing wrong with Greta getting it. It's not like it was fucking Pelosi

if we are lucky some boomers will have heart attacks being mad about this

Oh, that annual thing where people get confused by the point of Time’s POTY. Great.

[Jason]

Pfft. I was already PotY years ago.

It's a pity they eventually picked Giuliani.

Whatever. I was Time's person of the year back in 2006.

 

 

EDIT: I guess obvious joke is obvious.

I’m more annoyed that we still pretend POTY means literally anything at all. This is as newsworthy as People’s Sexiest Man Alive.

After that John Legend thread I'm surprised there wasn't more of an uproar of him being the sexiest man.

That girl is going to scold me one day online and I’m going to cry.

 

Not kidding.

I’m old enough to remember when the entire GOP and right-wing media ecosystem was absolutely *outraged* at the mere mention of Barron’s name.

are you trying to tell us these dipshits are hypocrites?  why i never....

[Guest]

It’s amusing that you guys think a public activist and a private person are the same thing. 
 

The correct comparison is the GOP jackals who routinely parroted Limbaugh calling Chelsea Clinton ugly during her years as a child in the White House now losing their minds about Barron remarks of any kind.

Trump telling Greta she needs to work on her anger management is rich coming from that daughterfucker (yes daughterfucker instead of motherfucker because, well, you know). 

[ort]

I mean, it's just a fart in the bullshit tornado that is the Donald Trump presidency... but that tweet is an absolutely abhorrent thing to come from the President of the unites states.

 

I mean, just pathetic, vile and awful. He's a fucking clown. A rancid pile of human garbage with a disgusting ugly soul.

 

It's the people who justify this bullshit we should be truly mad at. Trump is what he is and anyone who isn't a fucking nitwit drooling simpleton knows what he is. If you are standing with and supporting a terrible monster of a human being and that will be with you forever. You will have Donald Trump taint on you for the rest of your lives.

 

This is not okay.

[Massdriver]

Good for Greta. She deserves it. She got a lot of people's attention, and even if she didn't win many over on the right, I think she expressed the magnitude of the issue in only a way a teenager and future victim of this mess could which was unique and made people that do believe in climate change put it higher on their priority list.

[CastlevaniaNut18]

The right wing hate for this girl is so irrational. I mean, these people go insane about this girl. I've never seen such hate for a child.

[AbsolutSurgen]

She joins Vladimir Putin, Nikita Krushchev, Joseph Stalin (x2), Adolph Hitler and the Ayatollah Khomeini.

 

BTW, is Time still relevant in 2019?

It's not okay at all. No one wants Donald Trump's taint on them. No one. Not even Melania.

I’m more upset about grown adults mocking a minor who is the autism spectrum than people on a message board making inaccurate comparisons, but maybe that’s just me.

Ok

[MarSolo]

I mean, weren’t conservatives pretty much calling Obama’s kids drug addicted party animals because one of them went to a festival once and may have been photographed with a joint in her hand?

[SaysWho?]

I'm still amazed that Trump is making fun of someone for being angry. She's angry that leaders for decades have failed to adequately address a global crisis. Trump gets angry when Rosie O'Donnell makes fun of his hair.

I agree that it's not the same thing...but also that Barron was never attacked at all, his name was literally just said in public, and Melanie and co. basically fabricated the entire outrage to distract from real issues.

Hence “Barron remarks of any kind”...
