ignores @luckyshot and goes off on his usual nutty tangents
Really hard to think of anything that tops Harvey and Vegas to be honest.What were the most significant events of the year in your eyes?
This could be an especially interesting discussion in a day and age where popular news media outlets often do not agree on what is “significant.”
For the sake of this discussion, a “news event” will be considered in the hard news sense: something that happened on a specific date, as opposed to an “ongoing situation.”
So “Michael Flynn pleads guilty” or “Obamacare repeal vote fails in Senate” is an event, but “Russia Investigation” or “Alt-right movement” is not.
Let’s hear from some of our local luminaries:

Don’t be offended if not tagged... just looking at end of year thread.
I’m going to have a think and look at some of the replies before creating my own list.
Some quick thoughts, not yet in any order...
Harvey Weinstein Steps Down
Charlottesville
Trump’s NFL Tweet/ Protest
GOP Tax Bill Passes
Net Neutrality Repealled
US Pulls Out of Paris Treaty
Las Vegas Shooting
Hurricane Maria
Steve Bannon Leaves White House
Doug Jones Wins Alabama
Obviously I focus a lot more on domestic affairs... I’d love to see some lists that combined domestic and international events.
Fall of ISIS

I’m thinking about all the dominoes that have fallen sinceI honestly didn't know who Harvey Weinstein was before he was outed as a pervball. So that didn't seem like a huge story to me personally.
Unfortunately, you are right... this is going to fuck workers for a generation.Gorsuch being appointed to the supreme court.
The natural disaster fest.
Pervert gate.
Trump's victory over the NFL.
Misdemeanor HIV in Cali.
Fall of ISIS
Statue gate
Trudeau government awarding a convicted Islamic terrorist $10,000,000
Las Vegas shooting
Alabama not going full Alabama
Tax reform/ACA repeal(sort of) in one fell swoop.
Statues , Omar Khadr , Hiv Cali ?
