What about the MAGA cry, "Orange man GOOD!" Is that any better?
Nope. Any entity that would give Donald Trump an A(+) or an F(-) would be a bore IMO. Reality calls for more nuance.
yeah I'm pretty sure that a president who tries to overturn a free and fair election and sends a violent mob to the Capitol building to intimidate congress and orders the veep to overturn the electoral college is you know an F.
Coup attempts are auto-Fs for the president of a republic.
Always will be. The worst. No one worst. Total failure.

a free and fair election. When did we have one of those?

so every president should have violently resisted being sent out of office since no election in your view has been free and fair.
ok
interesting viewpoint there champ. I think you are onto something. Let's just have the toughest, meanest, law-breakingest guy, the guy willing to shoot the most people be president. Sure, have 'elections' but he doesn't have to leave if he can summon enough support for his coup.
Why do you want to get your hands on other people's money?
Bible calls that covetousness.
We are living in a time when people with 6 teeth fight to their death to defend people with 6 yachts from paying taxes.
agreed.
I think the Dems have to share fault on this. Dems should have been able to capitalize on how poor whites keep electing Rs to make the rich richer and the poor poorer.
But the Dems were not able to take back those voters.
Most of it is racism and fear of immigrants, but some is the Dems fault for endless identity/race/gender politics that pushed Trumplandia voters away.
I'm hoping Dems have finally learned their lesson this time and will stop with the race/gender stuff but that's more hope than anything else.

Racism is, by and large, everywhere. Fuentes makes this point truthfully. To suggest Democrats are not racist is fantasy and destroys your entire argument at its core.

To prove the point, let’s take a poll of all you white liberals and ask how many of you live in black neighborhoods, when you no doubt could? For the record, my neighborhood is about 40% White, 40% black, 19% hispanic. And some Jamaican's .

Do you want Americans to die from the drugs Venezuela does export?
I'm betting that, like most Americans, you never cared where your fellow Americans bought their drugs from until a few weeks ago when Trump started pretending it somehow mattered regarding Venezuela.
Q: "Sir, so when do the military build-ups and invasions of China, Mexico, and Colombia begin?"
A: "Fake news! Just wait until one of my billionaire pseudo-"friends" buys your network or paper!!! Piggie, sl*t, wh*re !!!"

Greatness personified.
Javanka is trying to Arab money to force CNN to be sold to them. It will become Trump News.
I hope you aren't talking about this now infamous piece of nonsense. The compounding logical failures, mixed with strawmen, conspiracy theories and woke gibberish, extend as far as the eye can see.
Nope, never saw it. I don't patronize CNN. People I trust told me it was just "Orange man bad!" Sounded boring.
I don't think for myself. Sure, I could, myself, watch 30 or 60 or 90 minutes of CNN one day and start to form my own opinion. But.....nah. And since there aren't any bad people in the world - much less in the good ole' US of A - they surely couldn't be CORRECT about "Orange man bad."
Yep, Facebook and Rogan work just fine for me. I honestly don't think that the word "journalism" should be in the dictionary anymore. There is no journalism. Just people lying to me. BUT, I'm super smart and savvy, so I know WHICH liars to listen to !!!"
I've seen a fairly persuasive argument that people will simply expand the definition of "white."
Bear in mind that BITD neither the Irish nor Italians nor Ashkenazim were considered white, and now they are.
Middle Easterners, Hispanics, and North Africans are currently consider white. MAGAs do not accept that this inclusion.
Fraction of Red State America who would immediately and emphatically reject this: Nearly 100%. THEY know stuff !!! Those "people" aren't white !!! EVERYONE knows that !!!
They're very worldly. Economics, demographics, science, civics, world affairs, frying turkeys, etc., etc.
US have had a good economy because other countries buy their products and services instead of making their own. This happens due to good relationships between the different countries. Now 52% of decelopers in Norway are saying they will use less American made products in the future. And this comes from Norway, not some regime that hates US. If the rest of Europe is like this then US will start loosing a lot of money in the coming years...
Reminds me of the non-existent Republican platform. But too bad they didn't bother to get explicit about some of it.
Platform Item #7: "Enthusiastically spit in the face of longtime democratic allies and see if it ends up working out well for 'Mericuh."
(and for any of you thinking that "enthusiastically spit in the face of" is silly hyperbole, please Google what Trump and Vance, at a minimum, have said about Europe since January)

Oh, we're grading things? Great. Please answer the following (of a VERY truncated potential list). And if you want to make it really fun, pretend that you're doing it in 2015. Should one or more of the following earn ANY U.S. president a grade of F-?
1) Again, #1: Clearly tried to steal a presidential election.
Nah, I'll just stop there. It suffices.
Reality: Any journalist who didn't realize a LONG time ago that Trump has fully earned an F- should find a different job.
"Balanced" journalism isn't pretending that a very bad public official is any better than he/she really is. And Trump is, objectively, really, really, really bad.
I suspect that you, like many other well-meaning but badly-overconfident folks, suffer from "false sophistication syndrome." There simply is no meaningful "nuance" with Donald Trump. He is a human and civic cancer, through and through. And we had all of the data points that we could POSSIBLY need about that years and years ago.
