    Don't miss this Joe---you should stand proud of your diminutive young heroine

    Time magazine named Greta Thunberg, the 16-year-old climate activist, as its person of the year.
    Added in edit: I'm sure that trump is unhappy with the fact that young Greta's Twitter account is polling way ahead of trump's today---despite his twitter comments regarding her---I find it both sad and hilarious that trump demeans himself with such enthusiasm over nothings.

    He is the epitome of childishness.

    I agree, your post and the issue is not worth consideration.

    Late-night comedy: After President Trump mocked Greta Thunberg, Time magazine’s person of the year, Jimmy Fallon noted, “In one room, Trump is going after a 16-year-old on Twitter; in the other room, Melania is talking about the perils of cyberbullying.”
    Little Greta shows up in the news and grown men cringe

    Now that's funny! Trump and Greta have a lot in common, like making grown men cringe.

    Not to discount her monumental accomplishments that I'm sure I'm not aware of because my persomal failings, I see absolutely nothing new in anything she has said.

    As far as I can tell she was annointed so the the left can finally use the argument that "global warming is so real that even an adolescent mentally handicapped person can see it".

    Someone needs to start scouring the middle schools for someone who can tell us what to do about the man caused shifting of the magnetic north.

    That will never be a cause Curt it's not catchy enough. We've got Global Warming and Global Shifting just doesn't mesh? We need a good catch phrase. If we can get that we'll have the lefties running around their house's backward before you can say "OH Lord we're all going to die"

    Here’s some good news, the latest U.N. Climate conference above is collapsing once again over the same issue it collapsed last time — the haves and the have nots cannot agree upon how much the haves have to pay to assuage the phony guilt trip the have nots conned them into believing. I guess their guilty feelings only go so far when talking real money and especially now that sucker #1 - that would be us - has left the building and will pay zip, zero, nada, thanks to one guy for whom we can vote in a few months to show solidarity with his decision to turn his back on the Obama boondoggle to include us in literally committing the U.S. to stuffing 100’s of Billion$ down this Commie rathole.

    Oh, and btw, this will undoubtedly send Time Magazine’s Person Of The year and her stage parents into apoplexy. Added bonus!
