Greta Thunberg was named Time magazine's 2019 Person of the Year. She is youngest figure to receive the distinction in its 92-year history.
"She became the biggest voice on the biggest issue facing the planet this year, coming from essentially nowhere to lead a worldwide movement," Time Editor-in-Chief Edward Felsenthal said at the announcement on Wednesday. "She embodies youth activism."
The 16-year-old Swedish climate activist has become an iconic face in the fight to save the planet from climate change. Last year, she began spending her Fridays protesting by herself outside the Swedish parliament, and that effort grew to her leading

Isn't it "TIME" for this liberal rag of a magazine to go out of business?

In the good ol' days someone like Scowling Greta would have been labeled a weirdo and ignored. I miss the good ol' days.

I saw the "news" folks talking about this today before the announcement was made, wondering who it would be, and I predicted to myself that it would be Greta.
Big freekin' surprise.

This selection is as fatuous as the selection of that America-hating bull dike as “sportsman of the year”. Repugnant virtue signaling by two dead magazines.

What a joke. If the Time rag is ever sold, may it go to the highest bidder. One dollar should do it.

Wow! Is there still a place where I can buy a copy of Time? I so want to read the 8000th article extolling an unhappy child who says the world is about to end.

No surprise here. She is also autistic and should not be used as a pawn in the climate debacle. I swear Leftists and Liberals have no consciences...the ends always justify the means.

40 years ago they honored the equally grim-faced Ayatollah Khomeini as person of the year.

If she was trump’s daughter could he make her Barren of Gray Matter? Or if Melania was Queen could she? What about if Trump made himself Emperor would he be able to command global warming to “stop right where you are!” Could a law professor profess something that isn’t the law?
This new science is marvelous!!

I disgustedly dropped Time in the late 80's and each passing year has made me look smarter and smarter for doing so.

Is Time magazine still in existence?
And if so, who reads this poor excuse for bird cage liner??

Can we go further? Can the normal half of the country (unfortunately, probably slightly less than half) finally and openly acknowledge that the left half of the country has gone absolutely stark-raving mad?

Is she going to fly another sailboat crew from the US out to Sweden to sail her 'carbon free' sailboat? Then fly another crew from Europe to the US to sail her 'carbon free' sailboat back?

Whenever I read anything about this naive little pest, I imagine what will happen to her in 11 years when the earth is just fine, none of her predictions have come to pass and she finally realizes that she’s a total fraud and that adults all over the world have used and abused her. With her history of behavioral issues, one of which involved her refusing to eat or drink anything, her parents should put her on suicide watch no later than the end of this year.

Glenn Beck was riffing on this in today's show and playing "How DARE You" repeatedly to laugh about it.
I'd like to get that as a ring tone. Does anyone know how that would work?

So Time magazine has decided to do an inadept article on mental illness, especially in how it effects teenagers?!?!?!? Gretta is the perfect cover model for that purpose -- I have to give them that!!!
Wait, you meant that isn't why they chose her?!?!? What else could it possibly be? Other be being insane, and being a useful idiot for the lie-berals, she really has no other purpose in this life!!!
