BREAKING: Democrat Alison Page has defeated longtime Republican incumbent Dan Toland in the River Falls, Wisconsin mayoral race, flipping the seat from red to blue.
Toland had held the office since 2012.
Good morning, mainstream media! Today you have a fresh opportunity to stop ignoring the biggest story around: the mental derangement of the person in charge of the deadliest killing force in the world.
So there’s no regime change, we lift all sanctions against them going back decades, they retain missile and drone capabilities, they control the strait and can charge tolls, and keep their enriched uranium. So much for “unconditional surrender.”
As an American, I'm disgusted by his bringing religion into his warmongering.
As a person of faith, I'm sickened by his claiming divine favor for his atrocities.
He is no different than the religious fanatics that brought down the Twin Towers. They proclaimed they did so in God's name too. Proclaiming God would sanction killing school children and rescue workers is sacrilege.
Foreign election interference…
Sub-optimal.
“.. The ceasefire .. has reinforced views among both adversaries and the NATO alliance that .. Trump’s campaign against the Tehran regime marks a strategic setback, bolstering China and Russia while squandering American strengths ..”

👏👏👏
this is what they have to tell him to get him to back off of nuking Iran. Having to humor an incoherent and reckless old man. He belongs in a nursing home, not the White House.
Big political news from Wisconsin:
Third. Not clear of course that Iran will get all of this in the end, but reminder that much of this — like sanctions — has kept Iran isolated for a long time pre-war, so even minor sanctions relief PLUS “taxes” on Strait travel would leave Iran far better off economically. bsky.app/profile/elio...

and Trump and all his enablers, including the MSM, will play along.
It is hard to capture what a sweeping strategic defeat the war in Iran has been for the United States. I’m going to thread here some of the posts today that try to capture those effects. Here’s the first:
Just wanted to remind folks, especially the GOP and the FDD, that Barack Obama’s 2015 nuclear deal didn’t give Iran control of the Strait of Hormuz or allow it to keep 60% enriched uranium. It sent $1.7 billion to Iran versus the tens of billions Iran will now make from tolls. 🤷🏽♂️
and the media will play along even though we know the truth.
The greatest irony is exactly that. If you have only two parties and only one of them explicitly does not support democracy then you have already lost your choice, and de facto, your democracy--because you MUST vote for the only one who supports democracy.
"No, I am not relieved. I am angry. I am enraged. The thoughts going through my head at this very moment cannot be uttered. This is not sustainable. We should not have to live in perpetual fear like this."
“It’s difficult to cover him in a way that conveys how unhinged he is. Journalists are trained to be like, ‘OK, what did he say that was newsworthy?’ So you convey that to your audience. But in reality, when you actually watch, you see he's full of hatred, lying constantly, and very incoherent.”
White House response makes Trump's genocidal threat even more terrifying: analyst

I haven't gotten to post about this yet — but the right appears to be losing plenty of school board races today.
Trump has failed so epically in Iran that not only was there no regime change or surrender, but now the rogue country controls the formerly open Strait of Hormuz
A truly stupendous political and economic disaster for America-and the entire world
I know it's late, but I need you all to realize that as soon as we started paying attention to these races, Moms for Liberty & their ilk, started losing. They exploited a window of apathy & did a lot of damage, but they just cannot win when actually opposed. No unopposed elections anywhere.
I couldn't breathe because I was laughing so hard. That bird's an asshole! 😂😂😂😂😂
Best with volume up.
Netanyahu says ceasefire with Iran does not include Lebanon. See, already back tracking
The elections in Wisconsin tonight are why Republicans are doing everything they possibly can to pass the SAVE Act before the November midterms.
rural Wisconsin counties that went for Trump by roughly 20% voted for the liberal candidate today.
STUNNING: Trump is now bragging about agreeing to use Iran’s 10-point peace framework as the basis for negotiations.
Here’s what that 10-point framework includes.
There’s no other way to spin this—it’s complete and utter capitulation.
Trump is trying to take credit for getting Iran to take a deal. Why wouldn't they? He gave them *everything* they asked for. #TheArtOfTheDeal
But China, Iran's rich ally and top trading partner, interceding made the difference. Iran can say no to Trump (and has), but is afraid to rebuff China.
