Preview of tonight's speech circa Jon Ossoff just now

[senseandsensibility]

Here's what's going to happen tonight: the world's most famous sore loser will deliver a prime-time presidential sour grapes address to pursue his 6-year old grievances about the 2020 election, while his war in the Middle East spirals out of control and the cost of living continues to rise."

No need to tune in folks. Jon is right.

[RockRaven]

1. Sad senile old man yelling about his missing participation trophy, surrounded by spineless worms

who have slapped one together for him to try to stop the temper tantrum.

[senseandsensibility]

2. But one thing we know is that his temper tantrum won't stop

I'm glad that it appears that the networks are giving serious consideration to not airing this.

[SWBTATTReg]

3. Good. I don't want to watch this idiot bitch and moan as usual ... he does it every damn day and frankly, I'm

sick and tired of his ranting and raving. Put anything else on TV, it would be loads better. The American people deserve better, far better.

[moonshinegnomie]

4. if they air it and he lies as expected with no pushback

then they should lose their licenses for the network owned stations. unlike jimmy kimmel they are letting a known liar continue to lie on their stations. that not part of acting in the public interest

[usonian]

5. I'd love for Jon to issue a rebuttal, which I am sure he will do on social media.

And it will be STUPENDOUS!

[ancianita]

31. Pro-rethug corporate media would then just shine a distracting spotlight on Jon. The rebuttal will be in the

form of fact-checking by media anyway.

It would be better to a) let the public's conscience be shocked for a while, b) let the speech stand alone, then c) use it for midterm campaigns.

[senseandsensibility]

33. Yes, IF the networks show it

give Jon equal time! But it looks like they're not gonna show it. If they hold firm, we have major trump tantrums incoming.

[Grim Chieftain]

6. I can see "President Ossoff" in his future

Maybe not in 2028, but soon.

[senseandsensibility]

7. I was surprised that he is 39?

That is very young, but maybe youth is what we need right now.

[ForgoTheConsequence]

9. We certainly need someone who has a stake in what this country looks like in 30-40 years.

If you’re a Republican in your 80s, you’re content with sucking as much out of the system for yourself and leaving the country in ruins.

[calimary]

32. DEFINITELY what we need right now.

Jon Ossoff just might be giving us a glimpse of America’s future White House leadership.

[NNadir]

35. Damn right!!! It's going to take a very bright YOUNG man to save...

...what's left of our country after this corrupt senile orange pedophile has done to it.

I'm rapidly becoming an Ossoff 2028 kind of guy.

[allegorical oracle]

13. I said that when he gave an impressive speech during his first election. Felt like

I did when Obama was first running for office. Nobody else seemed to notice Jon and that puzzled me...'tho the folks in GA did elect him.

[DFW]

16. For those that know him, we would be thrilled, but he would have to want it really badly first.

Mark Kelly is up for re-election in 2028. I don't know if Arizona law allows him to run for both Senator and President at the same time. There are several others who might run as well. Jon is not even 40 yet. He has time, and I think he is making brilliant use of his time right now. I was talking to one of his colleagues on the phone this morning who is downright certain of Jon's re-election. I'm not quite THERE yet, but I do think it has never looked better for him. The media love him (for now, anyway), and he plays them like a fiddle. Actually, a Kelly-Ossoff ticket in 2028 would be a perfect formula for a 16 year Democratic White House run. But I am not a gambling man, and if I were, at this point, I wouldn't give that a 2% chance of becoming reality. No one has THAT much good fortune!

[NNadir]

36. I'd give him about the same chance as a one term ex-Congressman defeated...

...Senatorial candidate, a back country lawyer, by profession, with a certain gift for rhetoric had in 1860.

In 1860, the United States was run by what historians have generally regarded as the worst President ever, at least until the record was smashed to smithereens by an orange pedophile, and was about to disintegrate, which in fact it did. The issue was then, as it is now, racism and an insane Supreme Court.

It seemed improbable that the 51 year old country lawyer would go anywhere, but somehow he did. The rest is, as they say, is history.

It was highly improbable that the United States would fall from the heights it achieved by agency of a small minded intellectually weak, corrupt, and uneducated pedophile, and perhaps it is improbable that it can be restored by a bright young man, but given the improbability of everything we now observe, hope remains, if not for everyone, certainly for me.

[Dr. T]

8. Instead of watch, I'll wait for the hilarious highlights

on Kimmel, the Daily Show, and maybe MS NOW.

[Vinca]

10. This is very weird. I just checked the prime-time lineup on Fox and no mention of Trump at 9.

Hannity is on, so maybe it's a given they'll be slobbering over it, but it's odd this kind of address is being given and isn't advertised.

[senseandsensibility]

21. That's what my hubby told me this morning

It seems like all the networks and cable are holding back, waiting for each other to commit. No one wants to be the first one to say they're gonna show this debacle.

[FakeNoose]

11. Yes we all know it's going to be Chump's usual lies and BS

Last edited Thu Jul 16, 2026, 05:19 PM - Edit history (1)

Why is Chump getting the free airtime? Because he's demanding it and the major networks are too chickenshit to tell him "no!"

But they said "no" to President Joe Biden, and I believe they also refused PBO at least once, so they do understand how to use the word. I think the American viewers need to click off their TV sets as soon as Chump comes on, and make it clear to the networks that we'll have NONE OF THIS!

Once they get the message, maybe they'll tell Chump "no" a little easier next time. So turn your TV off by about 9:05 P.M. or whenever Chump starts speaking.

EDIT TO ADD: I see that both NBC and ABC have announced they won't cover this live, so it's only CBS, FOX and (I'm guessing) CNN and other cable news sources.

I will have CBS on my TV at 9 p.m. and I'll click them off as soon as Chump comes on the screen.

[senseandsensibility]

23. They seem completely mum about it

Like they're leaving their options open until the last minute. I don't trust them, but I would love to be surprised!

[Gaytano70]

12. This might be an unpopular opinion . . .

I think this speech is going to help us solidify the truth in the public's minds that shitstain is a demented, psychotic, senile mental patient. Only his most obnoxious supporters, a dwindling minority anyway, will cheer for this. So, let the psycho dribble his tired lies for the 9000th time. Our response will BURY HIM (get it, Jon!)

[Renew Deal]

15. I think so too

I don't see how it plays well with the public.

[allegorical oracle]

18. Good point...in his current deteriorating condition and with all the issues he's causing,

it's possible he'll lose more MAGAt adoration.

[Renew Deal]

14. That is the correct message

[Deminpenn]

17. My local Comcast cable guide isn't showing the speech either, but

I'd be shocked if CBS and FoxNews, at least, don't broadcast it live.

[SergeStorms]

19. I'll be outside.....

watching my grass grow. Priorities, you know?

[senseandsensibility]

24. I have to organize my sock drawer

At least I will be accomplishing something.

[calimary]

34. Might be time to pluck my eyebrows.

They need a wee bit of management from time to time.

[Drum]

20. I think it'll be the "cut for time" speech he wanted to give on July 4th...

He couldn’t abide that the weather pre-empted him, the big baby.

[Luz]

22. Isn't 9pm past his medication and bed time?

[BidenRocks]

25. I feel explosive diarrhea coming on!

[orleans]

26. just saw this on bsky:

Ossoff: "Here's what's going to happen tonight: the world's most famous sore loser will deliver a prime-time presidential sour grapes address to pursue his 6-year-old grievances about the 2020 election, while his war in the Middle East spirals out of control & the cost of living continues to rise.."

[Dave Bowman]

27. "No need to tune in". Thanks, I never intended to.

[waterwatcher123]

28. Do not give him the satisfaction of higher ratings (something he craves). He deserves to be shunned.

[senseandsensibility]

29. Yes, but apparently there is a decent chance that no one is even going to carry it.

Now, wouldn't that be a shame?

[Zorro]

30. Maybe it will just be a pitch for new NFT Trump trading cards...

Only 99 bucks apiece.

They're something every patriot should buy...
