(I'll get this started) TIME's Person of the Year should be....

[underpants]

WOMEN
From the incredible "Women's March"
To women finally being able to air their harassment stories - today was a doozy
To the female candidates in Virginia
To all the other incredible women (not that that's unusual) this year.

Apparently according to "bookies" it's
Emmanuel Macron #1
And Colin Kaepernick #2

1. Century of the Woman....... Females the world over.... nt

2. I'll go with The Women's March of 1/21/17. It was a major fire starter for sure.

3. Robert Mueller or Danica Roem

Some juicy leaks have come out of the Mueller investigation, but I guess there is no resolution yet. Still, he has been mentioned so many times in the news, it just makes sense.

I know that Danica came into the broad public eye only last week, but holy moly is that story something else. And she had been engaged in it all year, so it could count.

4. in the fine tradition of hitler and stalin, it will undoubtedly be benedict donald.

remember that their definition is the person who has most changed the news for better *or for worse*.

whether or not it's an appropriate definition for that title, or whether it's an appropriate title for that definition, those are other questions.

because "person of the year" sure sounds like an honor, but the definition clearly states that infamy is just as good.

5. He was PotY in 2016. He's not getting it back-to-back n/t

7. Nixon got it twice in a row

[Blecht]

8. And he shared it the second time with another fine example of a monster

Henry Kissinger

[Blecht]

6. It's got to be Donald Trump

Nobody else has had the same impact on the world this year.

He can join Hitler and Stalin as the biggest monsters to have been awarded the "honor".

On edit: I see that I am not alone in feeling this way.

9. Agree

Macron, meh. Kaepernick didn't even vote. The women from the March to the accusers who have come out to those who have won election deserve to be cited.

10. Deplorables?

They're the ones that got us here.

11. Vladimir Putin. He won the world this year. Neutralized the US and won the Cold War after everyone

thought it was over.

[StevieM]

13. James Comey had a lot more to do with Trump winning IMO. (eom)

[TeamPooka]

14. I'm talking about 2017, not 2016. Putin has played Trump like a fiddle this year.

12. Colin Kaepernik.
