I remember very clearly every incident of Harris baiting Trump to make an ass out of himself and how he fell for it like a child EVERY SINGLE TIME.

It takes a tremendous amount of TDS to actually have watched that and come away thinking Trump was the winner. Only MAGA cultists like Tom, who are truly too far gone to EVER come back from their brainwashing, could possibly come away with that opinion. And seeing them scramble to justify it like Tom is doing has just been madly entertaining.

I know Action80 is supposed to be super old, but does anyone else imagine a petulant ginger 10 year old (I don't know why ginger, it's just what I picture) sticking his fingers in his ears going "NUH UH!" when reading his posts?

Or is it just me?

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

Whatever filter he might have had in the past he's lost. He's just another sad, pathetic racist at the old folks home at this point. Good luck winning an American election while simultaneously doing everything in your power to alienate black people.

I can't think of a proper response that would validate my inflated sense of superiority so I'm just gonna insult your intelligence.

Oh, ok. Please let me know if you do think of something.

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. ;(

Interesting... You are literally saying that the circumstances are too different to even try to compare them, and somehow you think that helps YOUR argument that wholly depends on us comparing the two. Way to undermine your own argument!

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.

I mean...

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

Lol, what a silly argument you tried to make to defend a silly law! Actually I'd say that given the numbers it's a tragedy that speeding is considered more socially acceptable than inciting "murderous riots"!

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.

Been there a bunch of times.
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.

When it was pointed out to you that the jaywalking argument was outdated and no longer applicable you brought up speeding as an alternative and went into a long ramble about that. Do you really think speeding is a "silly law"?

If this is the crowning jewel of your argument (this is at least the second time you've brought it up) you should think about finding something else. NOBODY in this country gets fined for jaywalking anymore, I believe it's not even technically a crime in most places anymore.

Israel’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.”

https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/aug/08/israel-finance-minister-bezalel-smotrich-gaza-starve-2m-people-comments

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.

Well it's nice that they've finally found a solution to their little problem.

Apparently Tom doesn't understand transitioning either.  Weird.

Is it though? I mean Tom's definitely weird but this seems entirely on brand to me.

Did Biden try to get the nomination back?  Seems like something he would not do.

Only in Trump's fevered imagination. He so badly wants to run against Biden instead of Harris he's hallucinating Biden fighting for the nomination back!

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.

Well you're certainly due to get something right even if it's out of sheer dumb luck so here's hoping.

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.

Jesus, does it hurt being such an idiot?

How self-indulgent is it to release "director's cuts" of movies over which you had complete creative control in the first place? Zack Snyder can eat a bag of dicks, what a shyster.

Also even the audience scores were in the 60s, lol. And that's among people that can still stomach watching his movies after having sit through the crap he had put out beforehand.

Tom, she's both, and she's clearly never hid that she's black (HBCU, black sorority...). I get that this is difficult for your racist mind to grasp but a picture showing her celebrating her Indian heritage in no way negates that. It is possible to have more than one heritage, and it's fine to celebrate both heritages, and your continued insistence that this is a thing to criticize her over is really just exposing you as the vicious racist you've clearly always been. It's very entertaining, and I appreciate your continued participation.
