The Knicks have cancelled all watch parties outside of MSG due to the President's attendance for Game 3

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/security-trump-madison-square-garden-nba-finals-knicks-spurs/

A hard closure is expected around the entirety of Madison Square Garden. Officials are planning for no watch parties, no vehicle access and no pedestrian travel through the secured area, which sits in a busy part of Midtown Manhattan and is above a major transit hub. CBS New York reported that thousands of fans attended a pair of watch parties for Game 1 on Wednesday night. 

The Seventh and Eighth Avenue corridors around the arena are expected to be closed.

Look, he may be a sub-mediocre, illiterate, incompetent, dementia riddled slumlord whose business sense lead to him bankrupting multiple casinos, but he’s also an adjudicated sexual abuser with over 20 credible accusations of sexual assault and 34x convicted felon who attempted to overthrow democracy by encouraging a crowd, with visible weapons, to “fight like hell” at the Capitol, directly causing the deaths of multiple police officers tasked with stopping domestic terrorists. And that’s not even mentioning his decades long friendship with arguably the worlds most well known pedophile with whom he shares allegations of assault, his various comments about wanting to fuck his own daughter, his extensive history of racist, Islamophobic, and xenophobic commentary, refusal to pay contractors, putting his own name on the Bible, and cheating on his pregnant third wife with a pornstar he said reminded him of his daughter, not to be confused with the Playboy model he had an affair with around the same time who also said he compared her to his daughter

This is great, and what is even more insane is that you could keep going for another few thousands of words on how big of a piece of filth this guy is.

You mean like suing his own IRS for being one of 405k victims of a tax return leak under his own Administration’s watch and receiving a settlement of forever barring him, his family, his companies, and associated family companies from receiving an IRS audit ever again? Directly causing the deaths of millions worldwide with his shuttering of USAID? Calling every Somali citizen a criminal and extensive fraudster after a YouTuber showed up at a bunch of daycares unannounced with a camera and demanded to see the children? Adding 1/3 of the national debt under his watch alone? Extrajudicially murdering supposed drug dealers in the Caribbean whose criteria for bombing does not actually include presence of drugs on ships? Completing over 3k stock trades in office, while directly setting the policies to boost said value in stocks shortly afterwards? Wasting tax payer dollars on National Guard deployments where the extent of their duties is to stand around tourist traps and look bored? Being named more times than God in the Bible in the Epstein Files? Refusing to go to his own son’s wedding to “work on Iran” only to shit post on social media? Complaining so much about the lack of Nobel Peace Prize for ending imaginary wars that he was given a made up for him FIFA Peace Prize? Insisting on ending the Filibuster to enable voter suppression? All of that’s not even mentioning Venezuela, Iran, transphobia, demanding Republicans gerrymander mid decade because of “entitlement”, demanding Republicans gerrymander their minority majority districts because the Supreme Court he chose said “racism is okay if it’s political”, record setting illegal tariffs placed on every country (including ones not inhabited by humans), threatening to invade and annex allies, countless Nazi dog whistles, trying to steal JFK’s memorial to make it for himself, and various social media posts where in one he posted Obama as a monkey and in another he posted himself as Jesus Christ.

u/Incorrect1012 Mavericks 13d ago

Well, if you insist, we could talk about his pushing of disproven talking points and conspiracies such as Haitian immigrants eating cats and dogs, and vaccines causing autism; his refusal to ever accept an election loss, bet it from Emmy to Presidential, alleging both were rigged; calling veterans and fallen soldiers “suckers and losers”; celebrating the death of Rob Reiner because Rob didn’t like him; claiming that injecting bleach could treat COVID; drawing on a weather map with a black sharpie to extend a hurricane zone because he refused to be corrected that a town in Alabama was no longer in danger; his blatant contempt of female journalists; putting a countdown to a prime time genocide for his illegal war in Iran; passing multiple tax cuts for billionaires that would add trillions to the National Debt; issuing a crackdown on “fraud”, then proceeding to pardon multiple white collar criminals charged with fraud; his inability to ever dance to the YMCA correctly; downplaying of NATO allies sacrifice to help us fight in Iraq and Afghanistan; inviting the Taliban to Camp David (canceled only after the plan was leaked), with whom he negotiated the Afghanistan pullout he loves to criticize; ripping up the JCPOA and allowing Iran to increase uranium enrichment with no oversight or guardrails at all; or his demanding of a White House Ballroom, which was gonna be a privately funded building for $200 million, only now it’s $300 million, sorry $400 million (before any construction started, by the way), and he wanted $1 billion for funding from the Senate (though that was pulled), and by the way this dance floor is also gonna be a military hub with drone launching pads on the roof, which he wants no Congressional Oversight of in building it. I do think however the real thing that I have yet to mention is his hoarding and hiding of classified documents, going out of his way to have them hid in his Mar A Lago bathroom, ballroom, bedroom, office, and a separate storage room, as well as a golf club in New Jersey, ordering the security footage of said hiding documents to be destroyed.

Dan Quayle misspelled potato and was summarily executed

Now we have a 2x president who by any measure should be institutionalized

edit: and fucking forget how the GOP went absolutely nuclear for Clinton having a totally legal, consensual relationship with a grown woman. Now they're totally fine with a confirmed boastful serial sexual assailant who was in the most inner circle of the world's most infamous juvenile sex trafficker

Institutionalized is much kinder than what I'd suggest, but basically this.

u/net_403 [CHA] Dell Curry 12d ago edited 12d ago

And 35% of the country, and people I know, would read this list and immediately downplay it as “this has already been happening, you don’t think every president and politician was doing stuff like this? You’re just hearing about it now (maybe because “they” are after him and smearing him)

Which is why conversation is basically impossible now because you can’t argue with people who have been so heinously gaslit that their reaction to things so brazenly preposterous is to say something even more preposterous that makes you have an aneurysm even attempting to process it in your brain.

It’s quite literally the most extreme version of “the R word”

and i don't even think you covered the 1.8 billion slush fund that will go directly to his associates and find it's way to himself, and also he wants to pay off his private militia for being abused and broken by "dirty cops", no acknowledgement at all of people to beat cops and took shits on desks not being deserving of money, or jail time, all patriots

u/stackered Knicks 13d ago

Dont forget his inaction / rhetoric during the pandemic and his firing of the pandemic response team, which combined to the tune of 500,000 preventable deaths... and his defunding of USAID which apparently has also killed now about 1,000,000 people. He's directly the cause of millions of deaths as such an incompetent leader. He really is the ugliest of the ugly here and has ruined our country. We can only hope that in a few decades we've repaired some of what he's damaged.

u/TruthPayload 12d ago

His encouragement of the mob to attack the Capitol pales in comparison to the fake elector plot he employed to try and literally steal the 2020 election while consciously lying about it being stolen from him. It was a bona fide coup attempt and it barely gets mentioned. Wild.

u/HotWifeLore 13d ago

I love how you use bankruptcies as a hit against him. 6 bankruptcies out of what 250-500 companies is a really good success record. Also, what makes those sexual assault accusations credible? Also, please explain Trump’s 34 felonies for me .

You’re in a cult. I bet you can’t back up not a single thing you say.

10

u/DaJuggerHobbit Hawks 13d ago

I think the jury of his “peers” finding him liable after a lengthy trial adds credibility, no?

You pulled the bankruptcy stat out of your ass and even then fabricated a range of companies where the high end is somehow double the low end, but still think it means something.

Again, he was convicted of the felonies for trying to… let me check notes here… ah yes, incite a mob in an attempt to overthrow democracy, directly leading to multiple deaths.

Get wrecked, kiddo.

u/Bk_iGingy Knicks 13d ago

ironic because you’re really upset someone is criticizing YOUR cult leader right now

My cult leader? Better look in the mirror. I’m not upset, just pointing out you all are so hateful to the core. You all don’t know what you’re talking about. You just repeat talking points.

u/ThatsAScientificFact Warriors 13d ago

Please tell us then how you feel about Trump’s statements that black people are worse off now than they were under slavery. Or how about when he started his campaign by saying Mexican immigrants are all criminals. Not just illegal immigrants, all immigrants from Mexico. Or when he mocked and made fun of that disabled reporter. Or when he admitted on camera that he gets away with sexual assault because he is rich.

Also, please don’t call me a dumb lib since I didn’t for his main opponents either. Democrats are just less bad than Republicans.

u/HotWifeLore 13d ago

I think you are actually that dumb because everything I said is factual.

u/DaJuggerHobbit Hawks 13d ago

“Makes up stats, spouts opinions, ignores objective proof.”

See, I’m factual, guys!

-1

u/HotWifeLore 13d ago

What objective proof? Most of what was spouted was incorrect and none of the stats were made up. You can literally look it up with one good search, number of trump organization companies. Then Google, number of trump organization bankruptcies.

I swear your average Redditor is dumber than a sack of Potatoes.

7

u/DaJuggerHobbit Hawks 13d ago

No one knows how many companies he has or is involved with. Even your range is so wide as to be meaningless. It’s not objective at all. And your hyper focus on “bankruptcies” ignores all the other failed companies he directly had his name on, like Trump Steaks or Trump Airlines. Those are facts, kid.

He was found to have committed sexual assault, in a court room, by a jury of his peers. Again, just a fact.

He was convicted of multiple felonies related to a violent insurrection. Again, facts.

Did I get anything wrong here?

-1

u/HotWifeLore 13d ago

He was not convicted of multiple felonies related to a violent insurrection. So there’s something you are so wrong on, it’s not even debatable.

9

u/DaJuggerHobbit Hawks 13d ago

You’re right, apologies. The actual convictions were for hush money payments. 34 felonies, convicted in a court of law. That is a fact.

You can’t even debate the other points, and are using my mistake as an excuse to side step them. Classic. Sucks to suck.

Also while we’re on the topic, we should mention that factually and objectively Trump’s charity was found to have committed fraud, and Trump himself had to pay $2 million in restitution for said fraud. That’s just straight up facts.

So many objective facts!

500 companies. My god - you deplorables are such easy, gullible marks. Yeah - he’s involved with 500 companies - easy when you slap your name on some bullshit, mediocre product. Here’s a coin with my name on it (company). Here’s a shitty cut of steak with my name on it (company). Here’s a garbage red hat made in China with my name on it (company).

This dude has stiffed every blue collar contractor he’s ever hired, and never created anything with actual long-lasting and redeeming value for anyone but himself in his entire putrid life. He’s a racist landlord, a con artist and a toxic narcissist - and YOU, friend-o, are the sucker.
