Actually "train wreck" is an extremely spot-on way to describe Trump's whole campaign this year.

I can't think of a proper response that would validate my inflated sense of superiority so I'm just gonna insult your intelligence.
So 41,000 lost lives due mostly to people disobeying traffic laws. How many deaths were there in "murderous riots" in the US last year? Or if you prefer, almost 30,000 people were killed or seriously injured in the UK in traffic fatalities last year. What's the equivalent number that died or were seriously injured in "murderous riots" last year?Damn, so you're pointing out that your preferred law doesn't even effectively prevent deaths, while incidents where BLM and/or anti-immigration fascists set people on fire are largely handled preventatively. That sure is a take, if you wanted to make your argument a little weaker.
And, of course, that is before you remember that speeding is not the sole cause of all traffic accidents, or before you remember that more people drive cars than set immigrants on fire, so your metrics are a crime against data science. Yes, I mean crime. You're under arrest, and we're sending you to Rwanda.
Thank the Lord™ we don't take cues from the likes of you when deciding our laws - things would get real bad real quickly! It's so silly that you want to literally arrest poor, innocent sixty-somethings for just driving their cars. ;(
Do you really think speeding is a "silly law"?Speeding is actually a good example, I'll bite. For it to be analogous, we have to describe it as "fining people for driving their own cars", though. Driving cars is more socially acceptable than inciting murderous riots (just about), so fining people for driving cars seems, on the whole, much sillier than what OP is complaining about.
40,990 people
The agency estimates that 40,990 people died in motor vehicle traffic crashes in 2023, a decrease of about 3.6% as compared to 42,514 fatalities reported to have occurred in 2022. The fourth quarter of 2023 represents the seventh consecutive quarterly decline in fatalities beginning with the second quarter of 2022.Apr 1, 2024

Been there a bunch of times.Y'all, the Brits don't even know what freedom is.Yeah. You just keep on standing on the side of the road waiting till a little man tells you that you can cross, lest you get fined, while congratulating yourselves on how free you are.
Tell me you’ve never been to America without telling me you’ve never been to America.
I was being a bit facetious. As I said, it was an example. There are better ones. If you want to keep pointing and laughing at the UK and all the silly laws we have which restrict our freedoms while following all your silly laws which restrict your freedoms and telling yourself how free you all are then you crack on, fellas.

QuoteIsrael’s finance minister, Bezalel Smotrich, sparked international outrage after he said on Wednesday: “No one in the world will allow us to starve 2 million people, even though it might be justified and moral in order to free the hostages.”

Sometimes, you just need to starve millions of people to finally solve a problem. The problem will keep existing until you solve it with a solution that is ultimate and complete. I'm glad Israel understands the importance of answering the Palestinian Question with their definitive response.
Apparently Tom doesn't understand transitioning either. Weird.
Did Biden try to get the nomination back? Seems like something he would not do.
All of my political predictions keep being wrong. What an absolutely terrible state of affairs.
Anyway, I hereby declare that Harris shall win the presidency. That is all.
She was banned from a world championship because she was not a woman, via repeated xx chromosome tests. She knew that she was not a woman, yet continued to call herself one. Therefore she socially transitioned into something that was not her biological sex.
this is honestly becoming a little sad at this point
Kamala Harris went to a historically black college. She belonged to a black sorority. But it's so much fun that you actually tried to justify this Tom, please do go on.There are no mental gymnastics he won’t do to justify his racist cult leader. Sad.
This statement is ironic, since Kamla Harris calling Jamaicans pot heads is way more racist than Donald Trump criticizing her for playing identity politics.
