Another Jon Ossoff moment from Atlanta not getting enough attention came when he addressed Trump’s remaining supporters DIRECTLY:
“He promised to lower prices on day one. You remember that? … I want the president’s remaining supporters to hear this because it was all a lie.”
Then he laid out the betrayal:
“Under Donald J. Trump, it costs more than ever to stock your fridge… to power your home… to make a cup of coffee, to buy school supplies for your kid, or a tractor for your farm.”
And then Ossoff went for the throat:
“They made you pay more for everything and took us to war on lies and spent most of last year trying to cover up for the world’s most famous pedophile while the crook president… and his crook family raked in billions.”
His conclusion was fucking devastating:
“They are literally the elites they pretend to hate.”
There’s a part of Jon Ossoff’s Atlanta rally everyone missed, and it may have been the most powerful moment of the entire night.
“I’ve got two little girls at home. Eva’s four and Lila’s one… But this isn’t the world I want to leave them.”
Then he put America’s broken priorities into one devastating sentence:
“We’ve amassed enough firepower to end the world a thousand times over, but we can’t summon the will to guarantee health care and pre-K.”
And then came the line every parent will feel in their bones:
“When Eva’s old enough to ask me why I let this happen, I’m determined to answer truthfully…
THAT I DIDN’T.”
🔥🔥🔥
This is the entire damn fight.

WWII Veteran and Purple Heart recipient Robert Hilliard:
"Next week I'll be 101 years old. In February 1944 when I was 18 years old I was inducted into the army and what they taught me to do there was to kill people who set up detention camps. Can you imagine how I felt earlier this year when they announced that one of the future detention camps would be at that same camp landing in Florida? We have a fascist, a fascist government, that allows innocent people to be put in detention camps and incarcerated."

De Niro: I hate to say it, but loving our country is starting to sound like an abused spouse saying they love their abuser.
I can’t love a country that starts stupid and inhumane wars, killing thousands of innocents and indirectly causing the deaths and suffering of millions more.
I can’t love a country that takes healthcare away from millions of people and uses that money to enrich their pals in the Trump-Epstein class.
I can’t love a country that sends out masked militias to shoot citizens in the streets, torture our neighbors, and separate families.
I can’t love a country that’s led by a racist, misogynist, xenophobic tyrant.
And let me just say it: I can’t love a country that’s led by Donald Trump and his sycophant Congress.

Skip Bayless says Jalen Brunson is the face of the league:
“The package of it is not is not wildly entertaining it just works. And what he proved to me in this series is he is the best player in the National Basketball Association right here, right now. He didn’t just show you he did it. He did that against that team and that guy. I give it up, man. You got to say here, you earn best player in the league status.”

Actually, you misunderstand the purpose of the long shower. I'm not doing anything in there. I am literally staring into nothingness and using the sensory input of falling water to temporarily wash away some of the horror of corporeal human life.
