Trump, a native New Yorker, was booed louder than the Spurs ahead of Monday's NBA Finals Game 3. The Spurs went on to win the game, 115-111.

    I once argued with a stupid MAGA who INSISTED that Trump was “The King Of New York,” and everybody loves him there.

    I explained that not only does NYC despise Trump, they’ve always despised Trump. NYC hates that he is so closely associated with the city. NYC has had this unfortunate history with many unsavory characters, and Trump is just the latest one.

    This guy insisted I was wrong, and it turned out that he has never set foot in NYC, while I live there, and my wife was born and raised here.

    Yet, he still insisted that I didn’t know what I was talking about, and he did: NYC LOVES Trump, and he is “The King of New York.”

    Gosh, I wonder why people are upset? The economy is shit, we’re in a pointless war, the files haven’t been released (it’s comical that they expected this one), only the mega-rich are thriving… what more could USA citizens possibly want?

    I’m going to be crass: I’m financially well-off and largely unaffected by the harm this shithead causes. I’m a white male in the US. I’ve got the ticket and it’s all by random chance. His stupid fucking base voted to harm themselves and I’m not sorry they’re hurting. I’m sad for all the people I care about who are getting harmed in kind. My dear friends who are trans, for example. Those who have brown skin. Government workers who genuinely wanted to work for the public good.

    Every maga piece of shit can stick their tongue up my ass and die. All the innocent people who are collateral damage deserve hugs.

      Every MAGAt piece of trash is a traitor to the United States of America and should be treated as such.

      It is every actual American’s duty to permanently hold every one of these traitor fucks in your life accountable. Family. Friends. Never let them live it down. Assuming you haven’t broken off contact, like I have. I don’t need subhuman trash in my life. But hey, leaving them to rot alone is a way to hold them accountable, I suppose.

        80 million voters are traitorous trash?

        You don’t know what “traitor” means, do you? They’re stupid. That’s it.

        Are non-voters double traitors?

          Are all of them stupid, though? They watched PEDOnald the first time and opted to do it again, possibly voting for that piece of trash three times.

          They wanted the vile stuff he and his cohorts stand for. They wanted the government to be weaponized against “the other”.

          It’s not like they went to the booth and did an oopsie and accidentally pushed the wrong button.

            Exactly.

            In the case of my mother: the first time, I couldn’t understand why she was snowed by this obvious liar. The second time, I didn’t care as much because he’s obviously going to prison. The third time is when I said, “Fuck you.” She has no access to my life anymore. Family members are to keep secret that I’ll be in town to visit. She is never to know anything about me ever again. She voted to harm people that I love. Fuck her.

    First time in my life that I’ve seen a U.S. president get significantly booed at numerous stadiums. Cuz this isn’t the first.

    Good job “conservatives”. Real smooth brains you’ve got there.

      They’ve tried three times. The problem is you have to find someone mentally incompetent and convince them to do it. But now you have two problems because they’re mentally incompetent and can’t get it done.

          They paid way more than that. 7.5k was the get in price, actually seeing the game was 100k+. Floor seats were 300k.

            100 to 300K to see a sports game? I hope at that price point you get to pick one of the players to come to your home to mow the lawn and do the laundary.

              Everyone except multi-millionaires and billionaires were priced out of that game, which makes it more egregious that Trump went. His being their closed the watch parties that would actually be accessible for regular fans. This was also as close to a crowd of the rich elite that he will ever be around, and they all hated him too.

        he’ll Rant about the Knicks being a 3rd rate team that cheated their way into the playoffs, worst team in the history of basketball, worst fan base ever, that’s what people are saying. Then make some wild accusations about having their NBA permit revoked or kick them out of NY

      Like he would ever admit that. He gave an interview and said it “was mostly cheers”. He’s a fucking delusional narcissist.

      I don’t know that many presidents have gone to many public sporting events… likely due to the insane cost to the taxpayer and… for what?

        Many have gone to several sporting events because it’s a great way to show you’re “one of the people”.

        But Trump is the most attended for all sporting events because he wants to be loved.

        A very quick google search shows 2nd place could’ve been Nixon or W Bush because they both loved sports.

    Nobody accidentally dropped their phone or drinks. That’s suprising if it was the general public. Clutses are everywhere. Oops! Sorry! You know, one time I dropped my phone on my toe and that hurt like a beach.

    This is the response that I’d expect him to get.

    However, on a certain sub… They are considering this a win. Oh how presidential he was. What an inspiration to his granddaughter. How he fought off the “handful” of boos with just a simple smirk.

    BARF.
