Are you tired of so much winning yet?

Looks bad. What does it mean? What kind of booking are we talking about?

I think those are flights to the US from Canada booked in March of 24 and 25

I've been tired before we even started winning.  That said, I would not accept the premise that we're winning at face value.

I think some average conservative voters watch CNBC.  I think a few elite conservative voters read the WSJ.

My point rather is that they are both vehicles for facts to penetrate the Trumpist information bubble.

EDIT: sorry, got deportations mixed up.

I think they'd bother need to be substantially bigger pricks in order to achieve that.

I think those people aren't really relevant.  They're small in number, and they've been completely ejected from the Republican policy-making apparatus.  The classical Republicans who steered opinion on economic policy and national defence aren't part of the Republican alliance anymore.  They mattered because they used to influence others.  Now, when they open their mouths, they're met with cries of 'RINO!'
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

As of march 14th trump approval was 47%. At the same point during his first term he was at 40%. So I guess he wasn't batshit enough for the American public in his first term.

I take it on faith that you know your compatriots better than I and I defer to your beliefs.

They're the same people who said we want less regulation and Trump gives the appearance of listening to that. 

I've seen plenty of clips on CNBC talking about the negative impact of the trade war.  I've seen no cries of RINO or fake news directed against them.

I don't think Trump watches CNBC. They have too many big words on that show.  Plus sometimes there is math.

Quote from: Sophie Scholl on March 13, 2025, 12:18:29 PMJohn Iadarola, Emma Vigeland, Francesca Fiorentini, Ben Mankiewicz, and small doses of Hasan Piker are probably my favorite folks from TYT and most of them have left or only appear very rarely.

Looks like Francesca got banned from TYT?

JD Vance has been put in charge of making sure that the Smithsonian and its adjuncts show THE TRUTH and not "divisive narratives" and "ideological indoctrination."

Seems so. Oh, well. TYT is a dying network. The only contributor left I like is John Iadarola, who is probably still there just for the insurance benefits, having just had a kid.
