Oh no, Speeding! He’s unfit for the senate. Better have him resign. Can’t have bad drivers in Congress.
Oh no, breaking the law and endangering lives!
How do you know he's a bad driver? He might be a really good driver who just drives recklessly anyways because of a lack of concern about the wellbeing of others and chooses to ignore basic safety despite driving abilities.
I think you have conflated good and skilled.
A skilled driver can speed excessively without being out of control. A good driver won't speed excessively because it isn't safe.
I mean, he literally crashed his car.
If you drive enough, its likely to happen at some point. If everyone can walk away from it, that seems like a good outcome to me.
You need to make your sarcasm incredibly blatant on Lemmy. If you think it's pretty obvious, you gotta make it twice as obvious.
No I think everyone gets the sarcasm.
Not in my experience, I just got a deadass reply in my inbox before this one to an incredibly obvious joke. Good to hear this is seemingly the exception.
I think at least 21 people didn't!
No I'm pretty sure they did. Sarcastically dismissing this extremely fucked up behavior as politically motivated sniping is really fucking stupid.
No... They did.
