I had a pair of shorts like that and they ripped and I could never find another. Like wearing nothing.


We'll turn into Steve Jobs wearing the same thing everyday, but instead of a black turtleneck we'll be in our track suits


One of my buddies from back home lives out here and we go to Knicks Blazers every year. He's always decked out in an orange and blue track suit and I have to acknowledge that he's right.


Does he dress like that 365 :lol: or just on game day?

Pretty common I think. Though different track suits.

Whoa, it went wild in these two political threads huh? I wish all politicians cared about defending us to the degree everyone defends them. The country/world would def be in much better shape if they did, instead of most of them looking out for themselves or corporations, industries, and their party first.

It's going to be a coin flip that comes down to Pennsylvania. Nothing else really matters. But we've known that for months now.

I don't really buy the polls these days:
1. Many are ideologically driven.
2. Many use outdated LV models.
3. Many have very faulty cross-tabs because they are "making up" for low response rates among subsamples.
4. Many using leading questions to drive outcomes.

In the end, it's garbage in, garbage out. But statistically everyone can see that PA is the tipping point. So we'll probably find out who won PA acweek after the election because of the myriad of legal challenges that are sure to follow.

Then they'll just vote 3rd Party or abstain. Asking Muslims to vote for Harris, who supports Netanyahu, is like asking Jews to vote for Hitler. Some Muslims think that Trump is just blowing smoke at Netanyahu just to get the Israeli vote and that he'll never send American troops into the minefield of the Middle East. Honestly, I can see the logic in that because I don't think that Trump has the guts to send U.S. troops into harms way in another protracted quagmire in the ME again. Plus, Daddy Putin will tell him stay seated at the table while the grownups handle this mess.


If they're voting 3rd party or abstaining, then they are supporting Trump.

Also, comparing a vote for Harris to a vote for Hitler, while knowing full well that Trump is working with Netanyahu, and then trying to gaslight me about what Trump will do while he's threatening to do a bunch of crazy sh*t is all I needed to hear.

You must really think that I'm f*cking stupid.

I understand now why you refused to answer the previous questions.

Take care Wingo. This is where i disengage because this is a bad faith argument.


Are you out of your mind? You don’t think Biden, Schumer, and that subhuman Blinken aren’t working with Netanyahu? Have you been paying attention to what’s been going on the past year?

Anyone who supports Israel is a fcking sociopath. Sorry, not sorry.

Sorry, your mental gymnastics and cognitive dissonance surrounding Trump and Bibi don't do much for me. You don't need to do it.

You basically told us what you support already. You compared Kamala Harris to Hitler on the same day that Trump held a literal Nazi rally in MSG while being completely dismissive of the threat that Trump poses not only to Americans but the people in Gaza as well. Even your response here is insulting as if anyone with a shred of intelligence can't see through it.

There's literally nothing else to discuss. You've made it very clear that you support Donald Trump and his brand of American nazism at the expense of everything else.

Own that sh*t dude.

I don’t know what you’re talking about, but I think people like you are a part of the problem. You post on a basketball forum about this hysteria 24/7 and watch propaganda news all day and post things proven to be false. You also accuse others with opposing viewpoints as feeling superior when all you do is condescend and hurl personal attacks. You need to seriously look in the mirror, or maybe go outside for a change and get some fresh air. The world out there isn’t as combative as it is in here. You’re becoming unhinged dude.

The person that always pushes batsh*t conspiracy theories in these threads is calling someone else unhinged? Okay, that speaks for itself. Don't project, it's not cute.

Also, if me saying your both sides fallacy argument is helping the far right/nazis bothers you, that's your problem, not mine. Reevaluate your position to see why that is.

Your inability to handle your opinion being challenged in an adult manner isn't a personal attack.

i don't really care for the pearl-clutching and name calling about a hick rally. to be fair kamala voters are supporting genuine, actual systemic and organized nazism endorsed by raytheon and dick cheney in palestine, which is scarier than dumb rednecks holding 5th grade gluestick posters. yet i'm not calling kamala voters nazis because i understand american electoral politics **** suck and everybody believes they are doing the right thing

including me, who will be voting third party for president in solidarity with my palestinian family who are also voting third party, and "pragmatically" on the local level where things like reproductive rights are actually in play (i think this is genuinely the right move. the war machine must be punished for its great crimes against humanity)

Shut up about fascism and a Nazi rally. As a Jewish person, it is beyond offensive to call this a nazi rally. RFJ, Elon, Tulsi are all Nazis? Enough is enough. Do you even hear yourself.

Please go outside and experience the real world. This realgm thread is like a CNN or MSNBc broadcast totally void of any reality.

I wish we can debate this LIVE, let’s see how well you can articulate yourself on the spot? I would shred you full stop

Dude I post historical facts lol, you’re the one so damn brainwashed that you refuse to believe they actually happened and too lazy or scared to look into them yourself when it’s right there on Wikipedia lol. Go back to the TV… the media people and politicians and pharmaceutical commercials who would never betray you are calling. Fuggin sheep

A fascist dictstorship more than likely will not have some “local level” that’s going to somehow protect your rights so I don’t agree that this act is pragmatic in any way. There is a failure to recognize project 2025 and the totalitarian nightmare that will exist after this election at every level and in every town.

I won’t shut up about anything fascist collaborator ****. Who’s mans is this

I love how there’s people who never post here who have only show up only when there’s a political thread strictly to peddle fascism. I actually post here every day to talk about basketball. Not interested in the conversation

spray tan distanced himself from project 2025 i believe but i'm not into what he brings to the table either. i am not voting for either candidate promising to continue the ethnic cleansing of palestinians and other arabs while commander in chief. people can judge me and say i'm the problem for voting third party, but i come from a lineage of true radicals who gave blood for their freedom from colonizers and invaders. i will not vote for a nazi (kamala)
