We usually don't do sports here, but Tropical Soulvangelical thinks he's waited long enough. He wants to let the world know he's not a Knicks person, and in fact, he's directing people to Knicks Suck Watch Parties with respect to both the New York Liberty and his team the Brooklyn Nets' summer leagues starting on 7/4. He doesn't care that the Knicks are this year's champions because he also objects to this notion that you can't argue with success. He points out that under some circumstances you -can- argue with success, like for example those confetti cannons at the parade. He believes that pro-Knicks area businesses in Manhattan are able to afford to buy extra confetti for the cannons for the parade in an effort to make it the "greatest" parade the city has ever seen. TSV prefers to look to the Halloween and Thanksgiving parades later in the year if we're thinking that hard about parades. So why be a Knicks Hater? For one thing, there are at least 39 other teams. TSV also figures that despite being champions they're simply not a good team. They just had a good season at a time when the other teams had a bad one. Sure a W's a W, but it makes sense to TSV to realistically point out the circumstances. Schools out, but TSV figures that those school age children wearing Brooklyn Nets merch are just going to be bullied because the Nets are the Knicks' cross-town rivals, and that's the point where the Knicks franchise is just going to get too big a head about it. TSV sees the Knicks as being sick with jealousy over the fact that they themselves sold the Liberty to the Nets years ago, so that the Liberty is the Nets' "sister team" in Women's Basketball while the Knicks themselves don't have a women's team. So the next victory the Liberty have going forward TSV takes as an In Your Face Knicks moment, and he's thinking that Brooklyn will likely make strides in the summer leagues and possibly get out of the basement in the upcoming regular season to at least #3 in their division. He's thinking that post-season will still have to wait, but you never know. Meanwhile he sees it really cheap that the Knicks franchise wants people to -immediately- move to the World Cup so that Knicks Haters don't get trash talk rights. Knicks Haters will still find a way to do trash talk anyway, which TSV sees them as more than entitled to.

Adam Hamawy won the primary where we live, and that was nearly two weeks ago. A week after Hamawy won, Tropical Soulvangelical emailed his campaign with a request that Hamawy in representing the Donkey side in November recant and repent on behalf of the Donkeys the War On Biden promulgated by Clooney two years ago. He also requested that this recanting repentance be counted as on behalf of a prospective constituent, not on behalf of Bernie or only with Bernie's blessing, since it was Bernie that endorsed Hamawy's campaign. Furthermore, the repentance has to be done by the beginning of July, though in the spirit of the semiquincentennial, TSV's going to give until about 7/5, the day after the anniversary. TSV didn't see any reply in his emails since to see whether they acknowledged receipt, but that was only five days ago, and he doesn't attach too much importance as much as to his getting ready to bring Jay Vaingankar back into the race on a write-in level if necessary. We thought we talked about "JV" in a previous base share, but we can't find it. Maybe we'll look again. But TSV doesn't want Hamawy's campaign to happen to come across this base share and decide not to respond just because we're looking at the possibility of a write-in for November. TSV wants the campaign to understand that they themselves hold the key to that not happening, and not act too hastily accordingly. Stay tuned.

It seems obvious to Tropical Soulvangelical as to Mikie Sherrill's failures at Delaney Hall, or what TSV calls the Mikie scandal of Delaney-gate. It's her status as the Antibiden Governor, because TSV's thinking that if Mikie didn't help attack Biden two years ago, they probably would have let her into the hall. After all, Andy Kim is -not- on TSV's list of Antibidens, and they -him- into the hall. Must be a pattern. Before we move on with this base share, you may have heard about the so-called "outside agitators" apparently chanting "shoot yourself in the head." TSV supposes there's a reason that they're called that, and that's because he figures they're -plants- intended to straw-man -real- protestors at the fact there's even a Delaney Hall situation to begin with. But you hear this thing about your "first 100 days," and TSV's thinking that ever since that sort of thing got instituted by FDR, it's the kind of meaningless rhetoric any new politician can propagandize to try to explain away or dismiss their inherent controversial nature -if- they don't follow the righteous path towards principle like with the #SpiritOf46. So Mikie's 100 days came and went, and it's usually day 101 or 102 or sometime afterwards when that figure's failings become obvious. But those failings can't count if they're not within the first 100 days, right? Well, why don't -we- all use the 100 days standard when -any- of us are new at any job? We can all propagandize as private citizens accordingly even though we know it's a load of crap. But it being a load of crap doesn't matter because things are what we -want- them to be. Isn't that the way it's supposed to work, after all? If it works for Mikie or -trump-, how about the rest of us?
