  • TIME Person of the Year

    From Lee Lofaso@2:221/360 to All on Thu Dec 12 15:46:04 2019
    Hello Everybody,

    And the winner is ...

    The president's eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., attacked Time magazine on Wednesday over its choice of climate change activist Greta Thunberg as
    its 2019 "Person of the Year."

    In a tweet, Trump Jr. mocked the 16-year-old activist as "a teen being
    used as a marketing gimmick," saying pro-democracy activists in Hong
    Kong deserved the honor.

    Now let's find out what the esteemed Nobel Prize Commission
    in Sweden thinks about Time magazine's choice. Will they concur?
    Imagine the thought of a mere child winning both Time magazine's
    "Person of the Year" and the Nobel Peace Prize.

    And to think all she needed was a thumb to hitch a ride on a sailboat
    to make it all happen ...

    You are aware, I hope, the Nobel Peace Prize has already been awarded ... to someone else ?

    Is there only one? Or will there be no more Nobel Peace Prizes in the future?

    Asking the question is akin to answering it...

    Red Letter Day! The Norwegian Nobel Committee is in NORWAY!

    Greta Thunberg - the youngest TIME Person of the Year - 'destroys'
    Asperger stigma by fooling Ward D. on Fidonet! HAHAHA!!!

    "So ridiculous. Greta must work on her Anger Management problem,
    then go to a good old fashioned movie with a friend! Chill Greta,
    Chill!" ~Donald Trump, tweet, 12/11/2019

    "A teenager working on her anger management problem. Currently
    chilling and watching a good old fashioned movie with a friend."
    ~ Greta Thunberg, responding to Trump tweet, 12/12/2019

    Now you know who Greta's "friend" is. :)

    That all depends on how many Swedes there are on the Norwegian
    Nobel Committee who are willing to award children the Nobel Peace
    Prize.

    Adolf Hitler was named TIME Man of the Year in 1938.
    But really was more interested in other things than being
    given awards and accolades.

    The Orange One declared himself as being "The Chosen One".
    Not really interested in having others do that for him.
