No wonder Trump was so salty.





Time Names ‘Silence Breakers’ 2017 Person of the Year

Time magazine honored the women who started the national reckoning about sexual harassment in the workplace and elsewhere, naming the ‘Silence Breakers’ the 2017 person of the year on Wednesday. One the cover, Taylor Swift, former Uber engineer Susan Fowler, and Ashley Judd appear. Editor in Chief Edward Felsenthal revealed the decision on the Today show. He said in a statement, “The galvanizing actions of the women on our cover… along with those of hundreds of others, and of many men as well, have unleashed one of the highest-velocity shifts in our culture since the 1960s.”

The Trumpites were dearly hoping it was Putin. They're going to be extra salty today, especially since it turned out to be a bunch of pussy grabbees

None of these women would have come forward had Mrs. Clinton become POTUS.

I should apply to be on the cover of Time.

In the 70's, my Dad smoked while driving our old wood-panel station wagon when I was in the car, and never put a seatbelt on me.

There. I just broke my silence.

He raised 5 successful children and worked 60 hours per week, but he'd be deemed a monster by today's standards. My Dad was a bastard! Why aren't I on the cover of Time magazine??
