I don’t give a fuck about sports and have never even heard of the Knicks before, can someone explain to me why these people care so much? They don’t have a ticket to begin with. If they’re just gonna watch it on a tv screen anyway, why not just go to their favorite sports bar or watch it at home?
If you don't give a fuck about sports it's going to be really hard to explain. Knicks haven't won a championship in like 50 years and it's a pretty big deal to Knicks fans. It's a lot more fun to watch in person than on some goofy tv screen.
 
Were they planning on doing it on the sidewalk blocking pedestrian traffic or in the street blocking vehicles?
They're complaining that they cannot tailgate/party in the adjoining areas, so essentially yes. But I want to point out for non Americans and the sports challenged, this is a very stupid thing to chimp out about. Most times when tailgating you have the game on a radio/phone and only half pay attention. It's mostly an excuse to be outside/grill/get drunk and less about the actual sports ball game. And by sundown, no matter who wins, they'll drunkenly spill into the streets and cause a minor riot. Which is why it's being restricted, so the area is easy to secure and the roads stay clear. These retards could watch at home or a bar if they cared, but it's not about the sport, what they're complaining about it's not being able to party/get drunk in public like usual and Trump is just the catalyst to this particular bitch fest.

The same way they call him selfish for attending the game, I could easily spin and slap them with. If they weren't a bunch of entitled, violent and untrustworthy retards then the president wouldn't need an Entourage of a small private army to secure the area surrounding the event center. I'm sure it's not easy to plan all this and manage the logistics just so the president can attend a sports ball game like any other American. Maybe they should try being less retarded and not crying after every failed assassination attempt, which is what causes this kind of security response. Sorry for the rant.
 
why not just go to their favorite sports bar or watch it at home?
You know what man, best way I could explain it would be if you got banned from this thread right when Trump got inaugurated and someone was like "it's just a thread, why don't you go post in the Elon Musk lolcow thread?" There's just a certain energy. I presume. I'm not a filthy fucking NYC faggot.

But they aren’t watching in person, they don’t have a ticket. They’ll be watching on a screen regardless.

I wasn’t posting in this thread when Trump was being inaugurated, I was busy watching the inauguration. But even if I were to be been from this thread I’d just shrug and move to any of the other interests I have. Even if my whole forum account were banned, I wouldn’t freak out. I lurked for years before making my account, I could always go back to that.
but even then, I don’t see how this is similar. They’re gonna be outside looking at a screen regardless, why does it matter if they’re in front of the stadium or at home or at sports bar? I guarantee every screen in the city will be broadcasting the game anyway. At least in LA any time one of their teams is in a championship you see it everywhere
 
It's even worse than I thought. Somehow I'm Christian now while the actual Christians are Jews.
ONE OF US! ONE OF US! ONE OF US!
It’s why it’s futile to reason with them because even if you mostly agree with them they’ll find any reason to justify killing you.
 
Trump said something that made me realize why you and the rest of the retard right are such losers. Something like, "Something good is always around the corner." Trump sees a setback as a temporary state of affairs before you get back to good times.
I've wanted to make a similar post for a long time, but you worded it better than I could have. There's this constant cycle where the administration hits a minor speedbump, doomers freak out and insist that it's over and that nothing will be done now, then the administration overcomes the roadbump, and the doomers go quiet until the next roadbump.

I have no issues with skeptics of the Trump administration, in fact I prefer them to keep discussion lively and prevent this place from becoming a complete echo-chamber. But it's such a predictable and boring cycle that just wastes pages.
 
can someone explain to me where this "trump is fascist" stuff comes from? i'm genuinely curious
Leftists like to use "fascist" when they mean "authoritarian". With a poor understanding of governance, any use of power can be seen as authoritarian; especially when it's things you don't like happening.
It also happens that leftists do not know what words mean in general, as they're widely conditioned to unwittingly use doublespeak and shibboleth. For example: "gender-affirming care", "human rights", "settled science", "climate justice", "equity", and "diversity".

It is this logic is why Leftists are unwavering supporters of their guy doing literally anything for the cause, but will shit themselves if the guy they don't like fixes a pool
 
SEAmonkeys are somewhat more productive but still I cannot say I would want them around.
But ask yourself, is there an open faced scheme by the Vietnamese or Cambodians to destroy all of developed world and plunge it into hell?

Personally, I'll take seamonkeys over random nogs and jeets any day. If only because their IQ is high enough to natively grasp the concept of toilets and sexual consent.

Texas especially has became home to the most obscure South Asian and South East Asian enclaves. It's bizarre.
Vietnamese are largely because of US refugee resettlement after the Vietnam war. Texas is a hot, humid environment deemed comparable to Vietnam along the gulf coast.

In regards to the term "fascism" specifically, I find it especially rich that leftists love to cast accusations of it; when perhaps some of the most actually fascist actions directly performed by the US Government in recent history were done by Democrat administrations.
The amount the automotive and medical industries were given by the Obama and Biden administrations (with the bailouts, cash for clunkers, ACA, vaccine subsidies, FDA mitigation, and EV subsidies) completely unchecked is so hilariously "fascist" but the general public does not care about anything when they're not told to care about it.

Somewhat unrelated, but mentioning "people don't care unless they're told to care" reminds me of the case of Ghislaine Maxwell and her involvement with Epstein. Everyone wants the "Epstein files", but why does nobody utter a peep about the other half of the operation? Why does nobody ever ask for the "Maxwell files"? Perhaps it's for the best, the public might not have a fun time grappling with the involvement of figures like Robert Maxwell, Anthony Blinken, and u/maxwellhill.
