There are two other women on that cover (other than the anonymous one). Do they not deserve to be identified? One is actually front and center! Way to make invisible the visible.

Maybe a little. Like the feeling when smallpox reads it’s the runner-up to penicillin.

Too bad, the Man of the Year list has some “very fine people” like Hitler, Stalin(twice!), and others including the proto-Donald, Pierre Laval of Vichy fame.

What Donald can’t face is that if he were more effective, he still woulda lost.

They’d have given it to Geppetto Putin, not Pinocchio donnie.

They couldn’t have done it without Trump, and men like him.

Thankfully it went to press before the Kochs got their sea legs.

The other women are Isabel Pascual, a farm worker; Adama Iwu, a lobbyist; and an anonymous hospital worker from Texas, according to the Time article about the Person of the Year 2017:

In a windowless room at a two-story soundstage in San Francisco’s Mission District, a group of women from different worlds met for the first time. Judd, every bit the movie star in towering heels, leaned in to shake hands with Isabel Pascual, a woman from Mexico who works picking strawberries and asked to use a pseudonym to protect her family. Beside her, Susan Fowler, a former Uber engineer, eight months pregnant, spoke softly with Adama Iwu, a corporate lobbyist in Sacramento. A young hospital worker who had flown in from Texas completed the circle. She too is a victim of sexual harassment but was there anonymously, she said, as an act of solidarity to represent all those who could not speak out.

Wonderful choice. (And their picture is much more preferable than Two Scoops’ ugly orange mug any day of the week.)

Rep. Jackie Speier (D-CA): What a difference a year can make

The only difference I can see is that IOKIYAR. Democrats Leave because of accusations, Republics stay.

Thank you. I had read that somewhere else. I just felt that it was lazy of the reporter to not mention their names and it struck me that the two unnamed women were women of color.

Democrats Leave because of accusations, Republics s[t]ay.

Democrats accept responsibility, Republicans deny responsibility and threaten the accusers with hellfire and lawsuits.

1st Loser!

Yes. And that’s why Democrats lose and Donald Trump is about to fork you over bigly.

How the hey does an admitted sexual predator take the position of first loser to the women who spoke out against molesters, rapists, and assorted harassers? What the hell kind of values do the TIME managers have to give the grabber in chief any sort of honorable mention?

Credit where credit is due?

That feels disgusting to appreciate that dotard, all those assholes, for anything.
