Morality is not determined by the church you attend nor the faith you embrace. It is determined by the quality of your character and the positive impact you have on those you meet along your journey

Okay I might even buy an issue with this cover.
I have not bought a Time Magazine in many, many years.
But if they had the guts to publish this one I would not only buy it but frame it, and hang it where everybody could see it in my house.
The biggest ass of the year, The largest crook of the century. The hugely moron of the year. The worst family in history for a year. The gigantic rump of the times.
Since the Koch Bros. just helped a new buyer acquire Time Magazine, he'll probably get his wish. Hopefully it'll be all about his disgraceful time in office being cut short by his impeachment and conviction for everything he's done or tried to do. ITMFA

New York Times: NYT: Trump questions authenticity of 'Access Hollywood' tape
Updated 9:22 AM ET, Mon November 27, 2017
Washington (CNN) President Donald Trump has questioned the authenticity of the infamous "Access Hollywood" tape in which he bragged about being able to grope women, The New York Times reported over the weekend, despite the fact that Trump immediately apologized for his remarks when the video surfaced.

MSNBC’s Joe and Mika: Trump going ‘out of his mind’ because media won’t ‘kiss his a**’
Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski agreed President Donald Trump seems to be losing his mind because the media won’t lie for him.
Brzezinski read aloud a couple of the president’s tweets, where he again singled out CNN for criticism and retweeted a bizarre conspiracy theory account that praised him.
“You know what? I’m sorry — this is where somebody on the set needs to say, Wow, that person seems unhinged, imbalanced and not fit to be president,” Brzezinski said. “He really seems out of his mind.”
Her “Morning Joe” co-host said the president’s attacks endangered American reporters working in countries like Russia and Turkey, whose leaders once feared retaliation for jailing U.S. journalists.
“That message hasn’t been sent by an administration that doesn’t even have ambassadors in these outposts and has now sent a message to tyrants from Turkey to Russia — do what you want with our reporters because we don’t like them,” Scarborough said. “We don’t believe them because they won’t kiss our ass every day on the air and spew propaganda 24 hours a day, and lie to our viewers about how they’re doing.”
“It’s now a stretch to say he’s fit,” Brzezinski said.
Should we be worried about Trump’s brain? A historian offers some perspective
...This issue of the perceived mental instability of Donald Trump leads us to explore the issue of past mental instability of our chief executives. It is clear that a large number of our past Presidents had mental issues that affected their performance in office, although none on the level of the potential danger of Donald Trump. It is a dangerous game to try to gauge whether past Presidents with mental problems might have affected the nation’s security and safety. But psychiatrists and psychologists have over the years weighed in on this matter nevertheless.
Terrible News: The Koch Brothers Just Became Two of Time, Inc.’s New Owners
With Time, Inc. owning over 100 publications, both print and digital-only, the company could be a powerful tool for the Kochs to push their conservative politics on millions of readers.
'José Andrés has some 30 popular restaurants across the United States, but he's barely stepped foot in them for two months. He and an army of chefs and volunteers have been serving the people in Puerto Rico'
The Republican Tax Cut For The Rich Is Careening Toward Collapse In The Senate
...Republicans need to swing more than a vote or two to pass the bill. There are at least six Senators voicing public concerns, and it is impossible for leadership to appease them all, and stay within the limits that make it possible to use reconciliation. On top of the tax cut bill, Republicans also have to avoid a government shutdown before December 8, and there is a showdown coming on the Dreamers.
If two Republicans vote against the tax cut bill, it will be dead, and Republicans have enough internal division to kill it in the blink of an eye. Trump and Paul Ryan continue to express misplaced confidence in the eventual passage of the legislation. The bill is a lot closer to death than any Republican wants to admit, which is why it is important for those who are opposed to the GOP tax cut scam to call their Senator and make their feelings known.
...The Republicans have no agenda, and it turns out that Speaker of the House Paul Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell aren’t the policymaking geniuses they thought they were. During the campaign, Republicans promised that they would guide Trump through the policymaking process. They told the country not to worry that Trump knows nothing. Republicans in Congress thought that they would set the agenda, and Trump would be their rubber stamp.
The reality has been that the same dysfunction that crippled congressional Republicans during the Obama years has grown tenfold. The House and Senate are paralyzed by their own infighting, and Trump’s bomb-throwing against his own Congress.
"Time Inc., the publisher of the magazines Time, People and Sports Illustrated, will sell itself to the Meredith Corporation in a deal worth $2.8 billion, the companies said on Sunday. Meredith will pay $18.50 a share for the legacy media giant.

The deal is backed by $650 million in financing from Koch Equity Development, the private equity group owned by billionaire brothers and conservative mega-donors Charles and David Koch."
Well, there you have it. PEOPLE magazine. And of course there is that Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. Boy, what a cherry to use to manipulate Trump. Time, People and Sports Illustrated.
And you know he only looks at the covers. Well, except maybe the swimsuit issue.
"Des Moines-based Meredith owns several popular magazines already, including Better Homes & Gardens, Shape and Parents, and says it reaches up to 110 million women a month through its various platforms."
Uh oh.
"Meredith said in a news release the Koch brothers’ investment group “will have no influence on Meredith’s editorial or managerial operations” and said its “non-controlling” cash injection “underscores a strong belief in Meredith’s strength as a business operator.”"
Yeah, right. Anyone else believe the Koch brothers are going to keep their noses out of influencing TIME? Thought so.
"Co-founder and publisher Jann Wenner announced his intention to sell his magazine Rolling Stone in September."
Oh, no.
And now Keith Olbermann has said #147 of The Resistance for GQ is his last one and he's ceasing his political commentary.
