James Dolan invited his friend Donald Trump to watch Game 3. In order to do that, they have to ban the organic, historically joyous parties happening outside MSG for fans who can't afford to be inside. Modern sports in a nutshell
The managerial class is being scammed in real time by their own egos. If this was a project introduced by an employee it would’ve been killed in a month but because the executive sect has AI psychosis they’ll tolerate having no realtime spend information. Wallet inspector’d!
That is some wild, unhinged stuff from the President.
Welker is a good person and honest journalist and didn’t deserve that but more importantly we have a president who constantly pushes conspiracy theories with zero evidence and can’t respond when politely challenged on that.
The Knicks have cancelled all watch parties outside of MSG due to Donald Trump’s attendance for Game 3
Only ticket holders will be able to access areas around MSG, and have to go through Secret Service-level screening

Farmers are doing so well under Trump that Republicans have to continue to do multiple billion dollar bailouts to send them our money so they will continue to vote for the Republicans who keep screwing them over. https://t.co/C9YAKMyhK4
Anthony Scaramucci: “My name is President Hillary Clinton. I’ve blown up the country by getting into a forever war, I campaigned on affordability and jacked the prices to the moon, but I’m focused on interior decorating and remaking the ballroom. I want to ask you, what do you think Fox News would be doing?”
Don Lemon: “Excoriating, they’d be running her out of DC, they would want to impeach her, they would say she’s inept and why is she focusing on such frivolous things”
I haven't been tweeting about trump lately
To be honest, I've lost interest
But I religiously watch Meet the Press every Sunday Morning
trump was a guest today
He put on a petulant, embarrassing, dishonest performance
This horrible man is an embarrassment to America
Let's all vote come November so we can change Congress and impeach this piece of shit
Anyways, have a nice Sunday
"Do you have evidence?" "That's not evidence." "There is no evidence."
@kwelkernbc kept rebutting Trump's lies about January 6 and about election fraud, and he eventually wrapped up the interview, calling her "crooked." Here's the transcript of the astonishing final few minutes:
WELKER: Do you think anyone who attacked police officers on January 6th should get taxpayer money?
TRUMP: I wouldn't be inclined to say so, but I have to see it. I can tell you this: 97% of those people, you look at them, the FBI or whoever it was, cause you had a lot of crooked cops, you had dirty cops. Comey was a dirty cop.
WELKER: Well, there is no evidence to –
TRUMP: A guy like Bolton was a dirty cop –
WELKER: But there is no evidence that-- but there's no evidence that people who –
TRUMP: Wait a minute, wait a minute. Oh, you think Comey was a straight cop?
WELKER: We had 170 people who pleaded guilty to assaulting police officers.
TRUMP: Comey was a dirty cop.
WELKER: No, no, but the people who assaulted police officers.
TRUMP: They had FBI – listen to me. They had FBI agents ushering them into the building. They had FBI "Go into the building." Those people are walking around, they're looking, "Oh, isn't this nice?" They weren't in-- they were being ushered into the building.
WELKER: There's no evidence of that, sir. There's no evidence of that.
TRUMP: You had a bunch of dirty cops, and frankly, what they did was weaponization of our government.
WELKER: But sir, there-- there's no evidence of that. More than a thousand people pleaded guilty to crimes –
TRUMP: No, well, yeah, no, there's none. You know what they do?
WELKER: Would you –
TRUMP: Try looking at the tapes one time.
WELKER: Would you take it off the table?
TRUMP: Look at the tapes one time.
WELKER: Okay, but 172 people did plead guilty to assaulting police officers.
TRUMP: You know why they pled guilty?
WELKER: Should they be exempt –
TRUMP: Because they told they were going to jail for 15 years –
WELKER: – from receiving funds?
TRUMP: – if they didn't.
WELKER: Should they –
TRUMP: They pled guilty because they were frightened. They went down. They were ushered into a building. Many of them were arrested without even going into the building.
WELKER: You'd be okay with them receiving taxpayer dollars?
TRUMP: The people were destroyed by dirty cops and by weaponization. Many of those people should be compensated. Now, with that being said, the, as I understand it, the weaponization fund was going to set up a group of people, people that could be picked by anybody, fair people, smart people, and they will go on an individual case basis.
WELKER: Okay.
TRUMP: Now, I don't know what's going to happen with the weaponization fund. I love the idea, because people like you, the fake dirty press, the crooked press, people like stupid Biden, he's not smart enough to know what's going on, but people that surrounded him, surrounded his beautiful Resolute Desk in the Oval Office, what they did to the lives of people, they destroyed people. They sent people to jail who did nothing wrong.
WELKER: All right, this is, just to be very clear, there's no evidence of what you're saying, but let me ask about Todd Blanche.
TRUMP: There's a lot of evidence.
WELKER: Let me ask about Todd Blanche.
TRUMP: Listen – listen to me – listen to me.
WELKER: Let's talk about Todd Blanche.
TRUMP: There's tremendous evidence. There's nothing but evidence.
WELKER: Well, it’s not been presented in a court of a law.
TRUMP: The election was rigged. It was a dirty election.
WELKER: Mr. President –
TRUMP: And it's happening again right now in California.
WELKER: – you've never presented evidence –
TRUMP: It’s happening right now in California
WELKER: – that the 2020 election was rigged.
TRUMP: Right now, it's look at what's happening in California.
WELKER: Where's the evidence to that?
TRUMP: It's four days –
WELKER: The Republicans are doing well in California.
TRUMP: In California, it's, no they're not. They're dropping fast because it's a rigged election. Let me tell you, it's four days and they aren't even close to coming up with the –
WELKER: That's how they count the votes in California.
TRUMP: Do you know why they're doing that? Because they're cheating on the election.
WELKER: There's – What? Do you have evidence to support that?
TRUMP: It's-- all I have to do is look. All I have to do is look.
WELKER: But that's not evidence.
TRUMP: And I listen. And I listen to people. And let's see what happens.
WELKER: But sir, that's not evidence, and that's how they count the votes in California--
TRUMP: Do you think it's appropriate that they have an election and five days later, they're nowhere close to picking a winner?
WELKER: State and local officials acknowledge they are slow. They're urging–
TRUMP: No, they're crooked.
WELKER: – they're urging the votes to be counted quickly. That's how they vote in California.
TRUMP: They're crooked just like you're crooked, your press is crooked. And Meet the Press is crooked.
WELKER: To be fair, I'm not crooked. But let's continue.
TRUMP: Really? Well, you play right into their hands then.
WELKER: Let's continue.
TRUMP: You're either crooked or you're stupid.
WELKER: Let's continue.
TRUMP: You play right into their hands with this stuff. You know that these elections are rigged. Your network knows that they're rigged. Do you know that I won an election in a landslide and I got 94% bad press.
WELKER: But Mr. President –
TRUMP: You know why I got that?
WELKER: – you've never presented –
TRUMP: Because you have no credibility.
WELKER: -evidence. But you've never presented evidence it was rigged. Let's keep talking about, I want to talk about Todd Blanche.
TRUMP: You have more evidence, there's more evidence than ever presented.
WELKER: Let's talk about--
TRUMP: Your elections in this country –
WELKER: – you went to court.
TRUMP: We're like a third world country.
WELKER: But sir –
TRUMP: Your elections are crooked and you're crooked, and Meet the Press is crooked.
WELKER: But Mr. President–
TRUMP: And so is ABC and CBS and CNN.
WELKER: But Mr. President--
TRUMP: You're a one-sided crooked network. Sorry. Let's call it quits because I've had enough. Thank you, darling. Have a good time.
WELKER: Mr. President, let's – please, I traveled all the way to Wisconsin.
TRUMP: I've sat in the rain with you--
WELKER: I traveled all – I know. I traveled all the way--
TRUMP: I sat in the rain with you for an hour.
WELKER: --to Wisconsin.
TRUMP: On and off in the rain, and I've given you enough time. You ought to straighten out your press, because you know what?
WELKER: Mr. President--
TRUMP: A country can never be great with a dishonest press.
WELKER: – we traveled all – listen. We traveled all the way to Wisconsin for this interview.
