Comrade rebels, this is as fitting an attribution as one could make, given the state of international affairs.
Time Magazine has decreed their oft coveted “Person of The Year” award to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the world’s richest man as delivered by congress via U.S. taxpayers.
The actor-turned-president was bestowed the honor during an announcement on Wednesday by Time Magazine Editor-in-Chief Edward Felsenthal on the TODAY show.
The media outlet credits Zelenskyy’s courage, leadership and magnanimous stewardship of Ukraine’s defense, as well as victory in framing the international public image of the embattled nation.
(Via NPR) – […] “Whether one looks at this story of Ukraine with a sense of hope or a sense of fear, and the story is, of course, not fully written yet … Zelenskyy has really galvanized the world in a way we haven’t seen in decades,” Editor-in-Chief Edward Felsenthal said when revealing the news on the TODAY show.
The cover features a profile of Zelenskyy in his classic army-green sweater, surrounded by individual figures and crowds of protesters. They are interspersed with bright yellow sunflowers and blue-and-yellow Ukrainian flags. (read more)
Sean: the The Bro or Manzier?
Great episode.
Hopefully Manzier. As an official Bro supporter, I can only imagine how Sean’s endorsement of the “Bro” would affect the brand.
I call it…… The Bro! Too ethnic!!!! MANZIER!!!
It’s not the first time for Time Magazine….
I can’t say I did Nazi see it coming.
Supplier chain issues may affect arms sales. Well, the Christmas stocking hanging over the mantle is looking a little smaller for the arms dealers. Maybe a few more people will get to live.
SIPRI: Ukraine war is not all good news for arms industry

The war in Ukraine has increased demand for weapons as Russia ups production and Western nations seek to replace stock donated to Kyiv. However, a report says the conflict may also hamper production.

The world’s top 100 arms producers continued to increase sales in 2021, but supply chain issues have slowed growth in the sector, according to a new report from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI).

Forget about supply chains – the arms and money are not really all getting to the Ukraine defense forces in the first place!
Never forget Sean Penn married Madonna. Look at recent Madonna pics. Note the guns on Penn with Zelenskyy.
“Here, have an award!” as your fellow citizens get bombed, shot, injured for life and die. “I need to go home to America first thing in the morning!” (Sean exits stage left)
Sean Penn is an ignoramus of the first order, Zelenskyy is a super con man who knows who Biden truly is and has been.
We Americans back home need to stock up on K-Y Jelly and learn how to touch our toes on command!
We are going to get it really good… and soon!
Don’t drop the soap!
Dennis Rodman wasn’t even crazy enough to marry Madonna.
LOL!!!!
Spot on!
Sean Penn is a CIA asset, IMHO. Been that for a long time, IMO.
And Spicoli is his real persona!
I wonder if Sean has a home in the Ukraine like he does in Haiti?
Penn looks like such a dope.
There is a reason for that.
I agree.
I hope 2023’s person of the year is the shadow stain on the pavement where Zelensky was standing at the moment he was vaporized.
If he gets away live in Kiev, anticipate some 3-letter mafia organization will catch up with him while he is sunning himself on a Miami beach. Probably reading his favorite book ‘The Man That Knew Too Much’.
🙏🙏🙏
I don’t understand why Putin hasn’t already done it.
Cliff Notes: Tucker Carlson talked about how Zelinsky is shunting down Churches and persecuting Christians.
whenever I see a picture of this Clown
this song keeps popping into my head!
I can’t wait for the end of the song to happen..
Generals gathered in their masses
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction
Sorcerer of death’s construction
In the fields, the bodies burning
As the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to mankind
Poisoning their brainwashed minds
Oh, Lord, yeah!
Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that all to the poor
Yeah
Time will tell on their power minds
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait till their judgment day comes
Yeah
Now, in darkness, world stops turning
Ashes where their bodies burning
No more war pigs have the power
Hand of God has struck the hour
Day of judgment, God is calling
On their knees, the war pigs crawling
Begging mercies for their sins
Satan laughing spreads his wings
Oh, Lord, yeah!
Zelensky: “Sabbath, Bloody Sabbath!”
Time for an update as Sean Penn has an ‘Irresistible weakness for dictators, tyrants’ and a habit of inserting himself in history.

What a F&@$en red herring. Sadly many idiots and snowflakes have no clue what the hell is going on.
Total BS. Just make the American taxpayer person of the year. Hey Joe what’s the tally now? $120B and 10% for the big guy. That’s a lot coke for Hunter.
Sorry folks. I am pissed. With this they are just rubbing our noses in the corruption.
I am, too. Beyond livid…too angry to even comment.
Only for 120 SOME ODD YRS… Tired of it already?
Sundance,
I am hoping you might do a post on why YOU think Biden pushed this war and why it is Congress at least seems to be overwhelmingly for it.
Carlson had Greenwald on tonight to talk about Zelenskyy/Time Mag and of course that led to Tucker’s valid criticism of many facets relating to Zelenskyy and our war effort.
That led to the ultimate question that neither Tucker nor Greenwald could, in their opinion, give a good answer to:
They both agreed that there is no benefit to Americans but they admitted to not knowing the real reason we are so engaged.
I got the feeling they both know why but that neither was ready to bring up the subject: yes, they pointed out, of course, that many pols have donors benefitting from the money made in a war, but they didn’t think THAT was the answer to the basic question.
It made me think this might be a Carlson “into exercise/discussion,” opening the door to a forthcoming program that may or may not include Greenwald, a prelude to a program at a future date that points to money laundering, money laundering and pols, and not just Biden, of course.
I remember reading that one of Mitt Romney’s sons was heavily involved in a Ukranian company connected to oil, and I wondered at the time they impeached Trump over the phone call if Mitt’s fake outrage at Trump was tied up in his fear that if they didn’t get rid of Trump, his kid would be in real trouble over some fishy deal. I still think that of MItt and of others as well.
Would like your opinion on whether or not you think the support by the Senate and many in the House for this war is not just to please their donors.
Add this to the wondering: John McCain was all up in Ukraine AND Arizona. Both places have been focused on for a while, and we’re not to know what’s really going on in either place. What’s the connection?
Raytheon is located in Arizona..kickbacks to McCain..and now Sinema and Kelly……
I know that Gosar has never voted to send money to Zelensky.
The only ones smiling are the American Politicians, at least they call themselves Americans. The soldiers don’t look as happy as the Pols.
You might insert a certain senator from no. Carolina into McCain’$ warmongery…. oh, wait!
Tucker said the only people benefiting from the war are the arms dealers. Can he really not take it one step further and realize the arms dealers are paying kickbacks to congress?
This really is the mother of all kickback schemes. The question that comes to mind is that how many of these proxy wars were at their root kickback schemes for the power brokers and arms manufacturers? It may not have been all of them, but since GWBush went swaggering into Iraq it has been questionable. Ukraine is just the most obvious scam.
It is almost as though the recipients of the kickbacks know the scheme will come crashing down and they are looting the treasury before power slips from their fingers. Then they disappear with their bags packed full of money.
Just hope they go there when they leave. We sure don’t need them here.
( jealous) brand-in and I x and meed eeah to claim partial credit
( but do not want to over x pose the deel$, yet )?
It’s Pearl Harbor day…so uhhh…try not to x cite some one, u no.
( by being transparent and truthful )
Imho
9 new Billionaires in the world of Big Pharma too.
We are witnessing the largest transfer of “public money” into private hands in the history of the world.
If he’s that much shorter than Sean Penn, Zelensky must truly be an elf.
Let’s hope he’s soon put on the shelf!
I think of him as a gnome.

Quite a remarkable list of awards for a nation whose government’s military forces include a neo-Nazi brigade; which has banned opposition political parties; which has banned Russian language classes, authors, and art; which is tearing down Russian monuments; which claimed the missiles which hit Poland were Russian missiles, knowing those missiles were their own, in an attempt to invoke NATO Article 5 and start WWIII; and which is raiding churches (which it just banned) as you read this.
It is one huge propaganda effort.
Shaping the perception…..
Times “Person Of The Year” award has about as much legitamcy as the “Nobel Peace Prize”…(Think Winner Barrack Obama) for getting elected President.
I’d be “brave” too if someone threw billions of dollars at me…..
Sean Penn is CIA.
Ha! Just posted upthread! What does that make Madonna? Accessory to…
He’s not working! He’s an actor, so he only pretends to work! He’s a con artist and the uniparty are either morons who can’t see that he’s playing them, or, a more likely scenario, they are in on the con.
I wonder if this one was trained at Langley…
Old: Mr. Smith goes to Washington
New: Mr. Spicoli goes to Kyiv
Time magazine is still around?
What an absolute joke.
Just when you think the insanity couldn’t get worse……………………there you have it!
I looked at one the other day and the words climate change was mentioned so many times I couldn’t make it halfway through.
Need something to read waiting in the doctor’s office.
Thanks for giving away all of our hard earned tax dollars to an actor. A fraud, the bidens created this mess, burisma hunter throwing away US taxpayers money for a bullshit war that they know they can’t win, rules for thee but not for me, fake ass politics, bunch of crooks
Zelenskyy — Puke of the Year.
Does he have khaki/green underwear I wonder?
I just love the varieties of combat green.
They’re various shades of camouflage green. A necessary enhancement when you’re hiding behind piles of cash.
That is hilarious! The guy in the white t-shirt is from Time? He must be trying to compete with Zelensky for most under-dressed dignitary of the year.
Time sure does like Nazis!
Hitler was Time Magazine’s Man of the Year in 1938.
Gotta love it when someone uses a Ukraine Flag as part of their profile pic. It forewarns that we are about to read a really stupid tweet.
Oh phooey.
This is the only Time magazine cover that mattered – (sound on; 30 seconds)
long live Carpe Donktum !
They chose Stalin twice and Hitler once, so why is anyone surprised?
Sean is nothing more than a useful idiot! Perfect example of the ignorance of Hollywood….who might be some of the stupidest people on earth! And then…they go and do things like this…or like Madonna posting her weirdness getting even more weird…which only proves the point!
Sean Penn and Hunter Biden….aka to Zelensky The Falcon and the Snowman
Knew I should have just passed this one on by—
Knew it would be some crazy peeson, but come on give me a break-
What a picture!
A “has been” and a dead man walking!
