Trump was a bumbling idiot at the World Cup. Tried to get in the picture front and center like a G7 conference. He was fixated on the trophy? Dude is is like Daffy Duck getting all that treasure! Just loses his shit.

Notice all but Knicks players are in black and white. This will hang in my personal study.

I saw it today and oh lord it just gets worse every day with this deranged 80 year infant psychopath embarrassing the USA every chance he gets.

There has never been such a nightmare person in his position. Every day I hang my head in shame for this country

Not once in the past 10 years have I woken up and asked a different question. Everyday I scratch my head and ask: who in their right mind would vote for this insane loser?

He has clearly always has been a clinical textbook mentally ill person.

Thus, every day I go to sleep with the same answer: a large percentage Americans are mentally ill, because they should be smart enough to know they are the frogs voting for the scorpion who asks them for a ride across the pond, yet they support a person who will destroy them regardless. Mental illness of various kinds will amplify reality distortion. The inability of Americans to rationally assess the threat they rolled out the red carpet for, not once, but twice, has demonstrated what happens when a general population is so mentally incapacitated they will throw their freedom away for a glib promise from the worst charlatan this country has ever seen. It reminds now of the creepy scene from the Silence of the Lambs sequel where Lecter is eating Ray Liotta's brains with his chianti and Ray gives him an ethered grin and a thumbs up. Half of this country become that Ray Liotta character.

I still don't get it. Never have, never will

(and before anyone freaks out and starts whining about politics, chill out. none of us vent very often, this is my Summer vent, you'll have to wait until Fall for another one of these, so you'll live. Besides, if you haven't noticed lately this country is pretty well fcked right now and ICE has resumed openly slaughtering American citizens)

He is relentless. Exacting tarifs on Canada calling the fires "Willingful negligence" is oburd. even for the mad king himself.
His war and lack of accountablity is astonishing.
Many in the voting party are not mentally ill, just politically and socially illiterate.

"Scorpion and Frog" is a good analogy! Its really our nature and has been for quite some time. Its seeped out an oozing ugly underbelly that has long been part of our history. We do some really good things, but not always.

Knicks were a great respite this spring! I pray for all the military famiiles who are doing thier duty but for reasons not so clear to many of us.

Yes, taking a vow to defend the constitution and then being sent off to a pointless conflict by a frivolous man bent on destroying that constitution has put quite the chill on military service. Not all personnel feel that way, but I know for a fact many of them are counting the days until there is a new commander in chief.

Glad I’m no longer in

It’s all over socials as if they were the only competitive team and had won the last 10 chips.

They are the most Everyman team to win a ring in forever. Scrappy underdogs, underrated, unwilling to quit…

Anyway, still feeling so much joy related to this run and win.

Where do you see it? Forums like the UK?

20+ years of relentless knick bashing by the media.

We sucked for two decades and Knicks fans themselves pushed the narrative that ownership was clueless and more interested in sniffing Don Henley's undergarments

We had a period of morally defective leadership when Zeke was here. Later, we got the pomp and circumstance of bringing in Phil Jackson, the most decorated coach in recent NBA history, who was close to a complete disaster (though he kept our picks). His bloviating BS and apparent disinterest in actually doing his job certainly didn't help the worn storyline of a dysfunctional franchise.

Heap on top of that NYC's traditional role in the heartland as a meme for the end of American civilization during a two decade swing to the right and you had a perfect recipe to hate the Knicks and its native city.

The media are mostly click whores so they took the easiest path and rode the popular narrative about NYC and its dysfunctional basketball team. The mecca of hoops and the world's greatest arena didn't stand a chance without the Knicks becoming a legit contender.

Americans generally prefer heads-down low-drama winners over peacocks, therefore even winning the championship wouldn't have been enough to turn the Knicks into the world's darlings. It was made possible by the unassuming nature of our key players, particularly Brunson and now OG with his tip-in for the ages rise to fame.

Our dudes are quiet and roll up your sleeves types compared to a media groomed personality like Wemby. Beating him was the perfect storm to completely break the old narrative and make us the good guys, far more than if we had beaten OKC for the chip. This was the perfect setup to make the Knicks an American heroes team.

The irony of all of this is the Knicks have the largest HARDCORE fanbase in the NBA with fans that show up at arenas everywhere. But the national and global perception of a team is not driven as much by its own fanbase as it is by the fickle hand of history which handed the Knicks the perfect scenario to turn themselves into everybody's second favorite team.

Once the media whores saw we were trending during an epic playoff run they started getting behind us, predictably so.
