Time Magazine has awarded the title of “Guardians of the Year” to deep state bureaucrats who are attempting a coup against President Donald Trump and trying to overturn the 2016 presidential election.

The cover for the magazine specifically highlights former National Security Council official Dr. Fiona Hill, former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch, National Security Council’s Director of European Affairs Alexander Vindman, and acting U.S. ambassador to Ukraine Bill Taylor as heroes for delivering testimony to the House impeachment hearing against President Trump.

“One of the remarkable aspects about their efforts—from Ukraine hands like Marie Yovanovitch and Bill Taylor to more obscure government employees like the analyst or Mark Sandy—is that as deeply as they may have felt about the dangers of the President’s actions, they observed their duty as nonpartisan members of the Executive Branch. None of them broke the rules to try to counter him,” the article reads.

The article adds to the narrative that these poor career Washington D.C. swamp rats are simultaneously heroes and victims, with their fragile feelings being crushed by the added scrutiny of the impeachment inquiry.

“Sitting in TIME’s Washington bureau not far from the White House, one official, on the verge of tears, called the past few weeks the most difficult of a long career, with the scrutiny affecting family and colleagues,” the article reads.

“After the President’s public attacks on Yovanovitch and Taylor, others lived in fear of a Trump tweet. The official White House account posted a tweet questioning Vindman’s judgment. Hill received death threats ahead of her hearings. Taylor’s wife worried that a far-right extremist might show up at their home in Virginia with a gun,” the article adds.

The article also whines about the safety of the whistle-blower, now widely believed to be CIA analyst Eric Ciaramella, and his attorneys, citing unnamed death threats that could very well be another phony hate hoax.

“Initially, the analyst planned to testify in person, but as some Republicans backed the push to unmask their client, Bakaj and another lawyer on the case, Mark Zaid, advised against it. The identity of the analyst remains undisclosed, but some Trump supporters are issuing threats. Bakaj and Zaid declined to comment about the whistle-blower’s safety; both attorneys say they have themselves received death threats that are being investigated by the FBI,” the article reads.

The article concludes with the insulting implication that these deep state bureaucrats lived up to their oath to the Bill of Rights and Constitution.

“In the Trump era, amid virulent partisanship and calls for blind loyalty, it can often seem the space for dissent is shrinking,” the article reads. “The fate of the public servants caught up in the Ukraine saga remains uncertain. Whatever Congress does with impeachment, the treatment of those who kept their oath will answer one essential question, asked in offices around the country: ‘What do I do now?'”

In addition, Time Magazine has named teenaged enviro-tyrant Greta Thunberg their Person of the Year:

Child environmental activist Greta Thunberg has won the TIME Person of the Year for 2019, defeating the Hong Kong Freedom Protesters and other contenders including lesbian soccer star Megan Rapinoe, the anti-Trump Ukraine Whistleblower, and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg…

Thunberg won the award despite the fact that participants in an online poll overwhelmingly chose the Hong Kong freedom protesters to be named “Person of the Year.” The Hong Kong freedom protesters are putting their safety at risk in fighting back against totalitarian China while Thunberg travels lavishly and hobnobs with world leaders.

Thunberg joins such luminaries as Nazi leader Adolf Hitler, Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin, Palestinian terror leader Yasser Arafat, Islamic despot Ayatollah Khomeini of Iran, and President Barack Hussein Obama in winning this prestigious award.

It’s a good thing that fake news rags like Time Magazine have drastically waned in relevance and will soon be defunct.
