The “Water Cooler” is a feature on Claycord.com where we ask you a question or provide a topic, and you talk about it.
The “Water Cooler” will be up Monday-Friday at noon!
Today’s question:
Time Magazine announced their nominees for their annual “Person of the Year.”
Some of the nominees include Dr. Anthony Fauci, along with essential workers that include medical, police, firefighters, grocery store workers and delivery-drivers.
The list also includes President Donald Trump, Vice President-elect Kamala Harris, former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams, President-elect Joe Biden, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Witmer and Vice President Mike Pence.
Black Lives Matter activists were also nominated as a group. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Hillary Clinton, Journalists, LeBron James, Beyonce, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg were also listed as nominees.
QUESTION: If you could choose a “person of the year,” either from the list shown above, or someone you think is worthy, who would you choose?
Talk about it….
.
President Donald J. Trump.
.
Well, to if they are looking for someone to represent 2020 then yeah, that could work…
@Mike Cause he represents the dumpster fire that is 2020 pretty well… 🙂
I think this year has to go to essential workers, people risking it all to keep the rest of us safe.
@ Matt.
Safe from what?
A bug that 99%+++ will not kill you?
What happened to the regular influenza hospital stays and deaths? The day the “regular” flu was replaced with____March 2019. Meet the new flu, same as the old flu.
Yes! Everyone that has been supporting all of us during the pandemic. Thank you for mentioning them. LL Cool: by the way your comment was not at all cool but incredibly insensitive and offensive.
@popcorn Keep drinking the Kool-Aid. Hospitals were EMPTY. I know quite a few essentials hospital workers.
There was nothing to be kept safe from.
If your feelings were hurt, it’s due to your own cognitive dissonance. Look in the mirror.
I would have to go with our beloved firefighters.
Trump. The man is solid gold. Never has there been a man that worked as hard as he did to save the country. Trump 2020!
I would vote for Alfred E. Newman. He’s been around a long time and has not offended anyone.
AGREE!!!
None of the above with the exception of our front line workers, firefighters and police.
NURSES!!!!!!!!!
ALL HEALTHCARE WORKERS!!!!!!!!
No human being is worthy of that title…
You don’t have much faith in humanity it seems like. Sad
My faith is in my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ
TSA, I second that!! 🙏❤
Jesus is all I need.
Dr. Sunetra Gupta.
Definitely essential workers.
Definitely not any government official as they all seemed to have failed us recently.
Hands down: President Donald J. Trump
This man has brokered multiple peace agreements in the Middle East in the last few months. He’s been nominated how many times for the Nobel Peace Prize since August 2020- what four or five time? I’ve lost count.
He continues to fight for our Constitutional freedoms and rights while being pummeled daily by mainstream news and social media (and being censored as well). Don’t like his mannerisms or the way he talks? Get over it. I did…
Obama is a great orator but he is a treasonous criminal who sold our country to China. DJT gets the job done and is literally saving our country. I would rather have him in the White House than all of the other smooth-talking politicians.
If you don’t agree, that is your right and freedom to do so, but you are woefully asleep and truly unaware of what is happening in the world. Your red pill when you are forced to take it will, unfortunately, feel like a large suppository.
.
I concur whole heartedly with your assessment and opinion of President Trump.
.
Donald Trump no matter how much you like him, is a politician now. He has been President for 4 years, he ran for re election and might run again.
@hanne, as he absolutely should. There’s more work to be done and so much work that will be UNdone if Biden/Harris take office 🙁
LL Cool J,
I agree with all you said with one exception. In no way is or was obama a great orator. He was sold as that by the media, but in reality, he had a difficult time in completing a thought when off teleprompter, or reading English words. He was a horrible speaker, to be honest, and not just because of his anti-America, anti-American message.
100% with you and all the others. TRUMP! The crooked radical dems stole this election. The hypocritical, radical, traitors have zero shame. The media is absolutely complicit and have become very good at lying and spinning the truth. Sadly almost half of the country has been drinking the coolaid. Very sad. The ones that voted for Biden and have half a brain will soon be kicking themselves very soon. Get ready for more anti American pathetic apologies and another Obama style assault on all honest, hard working American citizens.
LL Cool J President Trump–I agree– you nailed it! How does he get so much done? He sleeps about 4 hrs a night. He is a work acholic, and he goal is to make America great again. Main streem media along with the liberals goal has been to discredit every move he makes and everything he says. A good example would be in late Jan when he banned flights from China. Pelosi and Biden both had remarks about that being racist and unnecessary. His many trade agreements with other countries favor the USA–imagine that. The best economy ever–until Covid -19 tries to lock every thing down to destroy the economy. It didn’t destroy it enough so the liberal gov’s are still trying. How did he get so many ventilators built so quickly, and the hospital ships moved to NYC in record time to help the city–(and then why was it left unused so that the sick patients instead went to nursing homes, only to increase deaths among senior citizens- by gov. Cuomo ‘s order, even tho over 70 yr old people are at risk. Who was it who says don’t let a crisis go to waste? It sure wasn’t him..
@ Jeff.
I will have to go back and listen. But I was dumb enough to fall for his speeches. Perhaps that is a reflection on me and where I was several years ago. Asleep. Hypnotized. A CNN-watching zombie. Thinking I was woke, progressive, etc.. Virtue signaling.. the whole bit. I have been seriously red-pilled and aware of how I was on the precipice of literally being one of the walking-dead liberals we see today. I am grateful for the pain that I had to endure in order to awaken. I will never go back to sleeping and I will not stop speaking out, even if others are offended. We have to wake people up. (Now I sound like a zealot, but this is really the fate of the country and world.)
Whoever answered the phone at Four Seasons Total Landscaping.
This is a terrible list. How about everyone not flipping out and going in ton work as normal. Peiple working from home need not apply.
Does anyone actually care?
I do…never have been apathetic
Small business owners. They have really taken it this year. Forced to close, teased with limited reopening if they comply with all kinds of rules, spending money to do that, then forced to close again, with no end in sight. Small businesses provide most of the jobs in the US, and many many of them will never reopen. They will be permanently closed. They deserve recognition.
I think it should go to the medical workers, especially those who are overwhelmed and working through both physical and mental fatigue.
I agree I heard a ICU nurse on the radio yesterday, she was describing her day, and what she did for Covid patients dying, how she tried to have them talk to their families in their last moment. I have heard many similar stories from nurses and doctors. As someone who try to avoid hospitals at all cost, I admire them even when we don’t have a health crisis, so I definitely think they deserve the honor.
I agree also.
They are my heroes.
Donald J Trump
Bill Barnes noted that the regular flu was “replaced” by the Corona virus. The million or so deaths from Corona virus are in ADDITION to the million or so from the regular flu!
Who is Bill Barnes?
Trump beyond any shadow of doubt. Who else on that list has done a thing. Maybe VP Pence.
I know you would never read Disloyal, by Michael Cohen.
But in it he tells how he was told to ‘fix’ the voting, by Trump, so Trump could get more votes for Best Business Person for something, and Cohen had a friend work it out for Trump to get more votes.
Oh, that’s right, Cohen is a disgruntled ex-employee. Guess I should read Mary Trump’s book. A disgruntled relative.
JJ I am sure you can find worse on CNN.
Ricardoh,
This is a tough awakening but research the Ryan-Pence ticket from 2016 and see what they were planning. Trump keeps his friends close and his enemies closer.
I would chose a more generalized group composed of (1) First Responders and (2) Health Care Workers. Can’t think of a specific individual more worthy of the award this year.
the Murder Hornets for not showing up completely.
2020 has been a huge steaming pile so far.
so maybe just “None of the above”
Trump. Most of the rest should be in prison for their seditious acts.
TRUMP
What does that tell you about TIME??!
Kyle Rittenhouse
@Damon, 💯
Joe Biden’s dog.
Should we be worried that Biden can’t run with the big dogs?
😉
S, …. You might have a point there,
https://patriotpost.us/cartoons/29159
Trump, for sure. I don’t believe a large unspecific group of people like “essential workers” should be the “person of the year”. And I’d put small business owners in front of essential workers anyhow. At least essential workers are being paid
Time Magazine is irrelevant.
Seriously, whos OANN’s POTY?
Cowellian.
He/she is current on issues (I think)
Has their pulse on the community (I think)
Is the funniest person on Claycord (I know)
Thank you very much, but I’m casting my vote for Dolly Parton.
I nominate anyone Trump has fired because they told the truth…
The Corona virus. It has a world wide effect.
President Donald J. Trump
Trump and our wonderful first lady.
Amen! That woman is a treasure!
President Donald Trump along with an article containing information on the incredible number of things he accomplished while in office. I don’t believe most people know how dedicated and focused he was these past four years in spite of every attempt by Democrats to malign him.
Dedicated and focused on his golf game perhaps, and his election. Certainly not on the virus, which is perhaps the major reason he lost, even his former campaign manager said that. He has accomplished some things I agree with, mostly on the Middle East, where apparently his son in law played a key role.
@ Hanne~
If you really look, and search, you will find out Trump did a huge amount of good things. Plus, Trump had Pence in charge of working on Covid-19, so it was team work. Covid is worldwide, and the USA is the Country, helping the World.
Lol…Kamala…the Ugandan Giant
Mike Pence’s fly 😁
Zip it and keep your hands to yourself!
I’ve given this a lot of thought. I can’t decide on one so I’ll go with the following: Maxine Waters, London Breed, Nancy Pelosi, Gavin Newsom, and AOC.
The greatest president that we’ve ever had Donald John Trump.
Dr. Anthony Fauci
My two nominees:
1. Kobe Bryant – the year started with his loss, let’s end it with him
2 The guy from the ocean spray Tik Tok video
JJ, I’ve also read “Disloyal” by Michael Cohen, and it is very interesting! “Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World’s Most Dangerous Man” by Mary L. Trump Ph.D., is EXCELLENT. Another one you may have read, but if not I bet you would find it interesting is “Melania and Me: The Rise and Fall of My Friendship with the First Lady” by Stephanie Winston Wolkoff. It was a very good read about how the author’s friend for many years stabbed her in the back AND threw her under the bus.
It fills in lots of good puzzle pieces from the POV of someone who had a closeup view to the inner family dynamics and how they operate. 🙂
I know more trump supporters than Biden… how in the world did trump lose to Biden for the state of California right when polls closed. Something isn’t sitting right with me… can someone honestly educate me on this because I don’t believe Biden won California.
The problem is LA county,they say it’s 10 million people,but most likely 15 tp 20 million if you’ve ever been there,and they all been taught in school and at home to hate Trump
@ Confused ~
I hear what you are saying, and surprised too,…California right when polls closed. Nice you know many Trumper’s.
@ Confused
Trump didn’t lose.
@ LL Cool J
Trump didn’t just lose…..he lost bigly.
Although I was brought up in the Lutheran Faith I at this stage in my life consider myself a Christian, I do however agree, for the most part, agree with what Christianity teaches. I believe Jesus had faith in human kind, otherwise how could he have accomplished what supposedly he did?
HUNTER BIDEN: He has figured out how to live off his parents, and not have to live with them!! Dad gets a job and Hunter collects all the money! Dad takes away everyone’s health care options, and Hunter gets all the crack, meth, cocaine and trips to rehab he can handle for free.
Truly the Millennials role model.
Trump is currently trying to pardon his kids. Just sayin.
Mohsen Fakhrizadeh … corpse of the year
With all of that, I didn’t see a nominee for a conservative.
1. Sacha Baron Cohen
2. Joseph Robinette Biden Jr.
3. Fred Warner
So? What’s the problem?
John Macarthur.
TRUMP
