TUCKER CARLSON: “It’s not a crime to criticise genocide in Gaza, it should be a crime to commit genocide in Gaza. Killing kids is worse than criticising the killing of kids.”
The fact that Tucker has to say this out loud is INSANE.
Rape victim k!lled her rapist after his release.
She got arrested and her statement was -
“He raped me, not the State. Who gave you the right to forgive him without consulting me?”
Do you agree with her,
Yes or No?
This is real footage from 126 years ago.
What you are watching is the trottoir roulant, the moving sidewalk, built for the great World's Fair in Paris in 1900.
More than a century ago, three years before the Wright brothers would make the first airplane flight, the city built an electric street that carried you across itself while you simply stood there...
It ran in a loop of around three and a half kilometres, raised on a viaduct above the fairgrounds, with nine stations where you could step on and off.
And it had a clever design: two moving platforms side by side, one going at walking pace and one faster, so you could step onto the slow one first, then onto the quick one, and ride the whole circuit in about twenty-six minutes without taking a single step.
Nearly fifty million people came to that fair, and for most of them it was the first time they had ever moved through a place without taking a step.
The very first moving walkway had appeared seven years earlier, at the World's Fair in Chicago in 1893, built by the same designers. But the Paris version was longer, faster, and far more sophisticated, and it was here that the world truly fell in love with the idea.
It astonished people. The thought that the ground itself could carry you felt like magic, like something out of a dream of the future. They even called it the Rue de l'Avenir: the Street of the Future.
Thomas Edison sent a crew to film it, which is why we can still watch it today...
#BREAKING: Meet The Press: “…does the Democratic Party actually need to embrace the moniker of socialism, lean into it?”
Sen Murphy: “NO, but I think we have to understand that people do not believe that THIS VERSION of capitalism has worked, and frankly, it hasn’t worked. I mean you have 40% of Americans today that are working full time and don’t have enough money saved up in the bank for an emergency car repair. Meanwhile, we just saw the first TRILLIONAIRE made in this economy. This version of capitalism is NOT working. Now, I make the argument in the book that we should embrace what I call a ‘common good capitalism’, a capitalism where we have more shared prosperity, where we want more millionaires than trillionaires, where we have a higher minimum wage, where unions are more powerful. Democrats are not going to win by defending this version of capitalism, but I think we will be able to offer ideas on how to dramatically reform it rather than throwing out the entire system.” 👊
#BREAKING: Sen Murphy: “This is a party that has also nominated and won with candidates like Abigail Spanberger and Mike Sherrill. I want us to be a big tent party, and I’ve been saying this for years. I think that it’s actually a sign of a party that is alive and growing when there is a contest of ideas inside the party. So, I’m not a Democratic Socialist but I do believe that the Democratic Party has been historically WAY TOO TIMID in taking on corporate power. I think our party should have bigger ideas, I put one on the table last week—a $25/hour minimum wage—and I think we do have to have answers for the way in which corporations and billionaires are taking over and corrupting our politics. I do think that there is somewhat of a trend that candidates who are confronting concentrated corporate power in a meaningful way are winning and I think that that is something that the Democratic Party should pay attention to.” 👊
There’s a reason nobody is at the 50 state fair in DC, and a reason it’s worth pointing out. Trump took over America 250, a bipartisan organization that’s been around a few years planning these events, and turned this into a celebration of himself. I mean, in an opening speech they said “libtards.” So when you have a 30 percent approval, most Americans are going to tune out. FAFO
