Ossoff gets it right: Has anyone ever explained the tolling of the bell which seemed to occur when President Trump snuck off one plane out of Turkey, finding his way to another?
Was actual danger involved? If not, why did the president subject himself to potential ridicule by sneaking away on a catering truck?
If so, what the bell explains the trio of apparently minor aides who accompanied him on his flight, with Rubio, Bessent and Miller all left on the doomed jetliner. along with much of the press?
Speaking of the press, has anyone ever tried to explain the call of the roll on those flights? Hegseth yes, Rubio no? What was up with that?
At any rate, executive assistant Natalie Harp was one of the intended survivors. According to the Wall Street Journal, Harp "plays an integral role in Trump’s Truth Social activity." She frequently "logs onto the president’s account—at times outside of normal work hours—and posts batches of Trump-approved messages," the Journal reported in May.
Yesterday, Jon Ossoff—Fox has him up by 13 in Georgia—electrified Blue America with an angry insinuation about the president and Harp.
For an initial report by Mediaite, you can just click here. We'll suggest that you look at the videotape of Ossoff's remarks. As shown, his angry presentation starts like this:
OSSOFF (8/16/26): There's something uniquely despicable about lying a nation into war. Treating citizens as fools, and those who serve as pawns.
Aboard the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln, they've now been at sea for 240-plus days without a port call. It's a Navy record. And still—and still—
And still, they serve with excellence.
And still, they serve with excellence! God bless the sailors, Marines, aviators and all aboard the United States Ship Abraham Lincoln.
AUDIENCE: Cheers
His insinuation came after that. We're not saying it was wrong.
But first, he remembered to praise the men and women who serve. He had us as a very major force right there, when he (very convincingly) did that.

"Ain't it wonderful, Jim, how much people can mean to each other?"
“electrified Blue America with an angry insinuation about the president and Harp. ”
ReplyDeleteHe seems to have electrified snowflake Red America, not blue America.
Also, he really didn’t insinuate anything, just made a factual statement. Also, Ossoff seems to be in control of himself, and not angry.
But Somerby’s job seems to be to give credence to right wing outrage.
Speaking about angry and insinuation:
ReplyDeleteYou smug, performative liberals just love the self righteous anger of people like sayed and Ossoff when they get down in the gutter with Trump. You disgust me.
Now don’t call me names.
