Pray Americans awaken to the control mechanisms that we've all grown accustomed to as a society. Realise that ain't happening, and begin drinking again. How bout yaself?
I think Biden should annoince a minor routine medical procedure late on the night of the 5th and hand over Presidential duties to her for 72 hours or so leaving the slim Republican senate majority infighting over who gets to do the job in her absence.
There will be a peaceful protest in Wash DC January 1-3 to push lawmakers in congress to stand up and defend the constitution as they all took an oath to do.

I’d say cop beatings and blowing mud on the capitol floor, but that’s been done and didn’t make that great an impact on the American psyche. So, probably sit on the couch, eat bonbons and watch K-Dramas.
I can only tell you what I would hope to do if I was in Washington dc and that is join some sort of protest. we won't have anything like that in South Florida we're too busy with other things. You know book bannings and don't say gayings?
Can every one that voted for democracy take the day off?
All 75+ million people be of no assistance to trump supporters.
It would be nice if all the immigrants could take the day off, too, but I wouldn’t want them to risk getting fired, or put on the deportation list early.
I suppose it is too much to hope that our AG arrest Trump and allies before then, If he didn't go after a despicable Matt Gaetz with all the evidence against him, and he already abetted Trump to avoid his trials and jail, not much chance Garland will do the right thing and arrest Trump now.
Was thinking of renting my furnished basment (I am a 10 minute Uber or metro ride to DC but decided I don't really think I want any of those folk in my house. Judgemental I know but it's my house.
We are having a screening of Kevin Klines ‘Dave’ at our local theater, followed by MLK’s ‘I Have a Dream’ speech, followed by lunch. Then we might open it up for cursing and damnations, we’ll see.
Oh yes...please..or let them fight all damn day about not having a speaker-that's the only reason tRump said he "likes" Johnson right now. When he rolls into the White House, Johnson is GONE.
Have to admit, I have this "fantasy" about him walking up to put his hand on the bible, and getting cuffs slapped on at that moment, or a higher power deciding now is a good time for some old fashioned smiting....😁
If they don’t, our constitution becomes a worthless piece of paper and doesn’t protect anyone against the disorder that’ll follow, what ever that looks like.
Or anyone else. I don’t think we’ve seen the capabilities of a militarized police state yet. Anyone with enough money will be able to control entire cities. As long as officers are getting paid, they’ll follow orders.
I suggest a peaceful march on the Capitol, you know, like the one Trump instigated (although it had nothing to do with him, all just a misunderstanding...) 😬
A must listen to Keith Olbermann pod cast today if you want an explanation of why trump IS NOT PRESIDENT due to 14TH Amendment, Section 3 of our Constitution. Democrats MUST object to the certification or the Constitution means NOTHING and America is forever lost!
Overtake the capitol
Steal Congressional computers
Attack Police
Smear shit on the capitol walls
Track down your most hated congress critter
Import Guns nearby
ONLY as long as you get help from the sitting president which will make you immune from prosecution.
Reclaim Jan 6 for Epiphany, 12th night, arrival of the Wise Men, last day of Christmas, take down the tree party, and Day of spontaneous amazing insights it was meant to be.
I’ve always been irritated the magat bozos stole that holiday away from us.
#ReclaimEpiphany for Jan 6!
Got the bots set to send Trump and others 20 thousand shitposts on inauguration day. I also heard that some deep state actors are trying to set up a drone flyover of the inauguration with hundreds of drones.
My goal is to delay the inauguration, which would send the 🍊 💩 into a fit of rage like no other. It would also delay the start of his administration and plunge it into chaos.
"worse" is likely to mean "less competent" so i'm okay with it.
At this point, the goal of every politically aware mindful person should be to assure that the 119th Congress goes down in history as the least productive since before the Revolution.
I agree with that assessment, it's why DOGE will fail. My ultimate goal of tanking the Speakership bid is to ensure that the House is in chaos for the next two years.
That will boost the likelihood of a blue wave election 🌊
Yes, that's exactly why Donnie endorsed him. It's also why Blue Dots in Red States & districts should call their Rep. in the House and cosplay as a MAGA and demand they vote against Johnson.
I'd love to see that as well. Most likely if Republicans can't get their shit together (that's what I'm working to accomplish) we'll end up with a consensus speaker.
That would ensure the worst parts of trumpism have no chance in the House.
In case you don’t feel like wasting your time watching Orange 73s inauguration ESPN is showing the National College Football Championship Game that day staring at 7:30 pm!😹
I'd like to see thousands of Americans flock to the Capitol grounds, and give a legitimately peaceful protest.
No forcing their way past barriers. No violence. Just giving the biggest contrast to the Trump mob possible.
complete silence, total disengagement from all media social and otherwise, I refuse to spend a dime on anything to do with capitalism that day, as memorial to the Ideal of democracy they sold us that was never really there, the very definition of trumpery!
I'm 75, and these days, going to the basement to check fuel oil becomes an expedition that I need to plan for in advance....so, I'm pretty sure I'm staying home.
How come none of the politicians, who can really do something about it, are doing anything about this 14th amendment thing? It seems like a legit point but.. crickets.
There will be a peaceful protest in Wash DC January 1-3 to try to push lawmakers to keep their oath to defend the constitution (specifically Amendment 14 Section 3).

I was going to wait until the 2nd to pitch this idea, but since you asked; what if the Democrats went to the Capitol... Completely peacefully. No yelling, no storming, no insurrection. And we invited the media. And we calmly explained all the reasons Trump, his cabinet, and his plans are terrible.
You do know MAGA still has guns right? And some of them still stick to him like hemorrhoids? Nope..... There's no guarantee of no yelling, we're TOO MAD. There's no guarantee of no storming, we're TOO PISSED THEY CHEATED. Nope, us going, not a good idea...... We would die.
Nice idea. Unlikely to motivate participation. We don’t have any major coalitions of Dems calling for action, just a lot of frustrated Dem voters. I don’t know yet whether it’s strategic timing, political savvy beyond my ken, or cowardice, but without Kamala or someone else creating action, nothing.
Some of us on Bluesky are thinking about pulling focus away from the felon's inauguration by showing our remembrance to Carter and MLK by volunteering to help the less fortunate on Jan 20th. But nothing solid as of yet.
Lay some of that blame on the media for normalizing his bullshit from day one, and on the millions of people who couldn’t be bothered to get off their asses and vote
Have to admit, I have this "fantasy" about him walking up to put his hand on the bible, and getting cuffs slapped on at that moment, or a higher power deciding now is a good time for some old fashioned smiting....😁
I'm hoping that the chaotic, straw-for-brains Republican Congress causes a delay in the electoral count with the inevitable ouster of Mike Johnson. C-SPAN will be must-see TV in the coming days. 😏
Well Tuesdays I usually take the dog I'm boarding to the dog park, so, pupster play time. Are donni's boys storming the capitol again? They know they won and got what they want right?
Or are donni's boys afraid, that they got what the oligarchs want? US politics is always entertaining eh.
Biden should make it a national holiday, maybe “Democracy Day” or “Capitol Day” so that we never forget the horrors of that day when an army of Trump inspired, meth-induced white supremacists killed several police officers, occupied the capital, and almost took democracy away from us!
I'm going to get up and live- go about my daily tasks and maybe peek inside a Salvation Army store and look for bargains. I refuse to give those clowns space in my head.
He's worse than 666 😂🤣. I've watched so many diff cult #documentaries & trump def wins that title 😂 The ones who aren't white then something's wrong with them for voting for him. Something needs to flood their #brain with billionaires will never help you
Does anyone disagree with me?That the only answer to Donald Trump is an open dialogue in front of the country that does not sound like you talking to your neighbor? It should be informed in the deepest way by people who actually remember & can use logic about what's been occurring for 9 years.
Without so-called worthless people called elites speaking out for the ordinary person, instead of silently embracing being a successful person under Trump, prior to the 6th of January, we don't have a prayer. You do this on a discussion panel of non-political brilliant minds. Otherwise, nuke earth.
The results that you want are endless pressure for Biden to act and Congress to act while he's still in office. We are at war with Russia currently. We should not have Trump or Elon. They have conspired in the worst ways.
You must have elite experts & brilliant minds explain, now, today, before the 6th, this history of all Trump actions. Talking themselves out over hours in front of the country, televised. An exhaustive conversation & then famous people by the next day must all get on board, speak out, defeat Trump.
We've been silent too long. Gary Kasparov! Make what I'm saying happen. You are the dissident of one and maybe soon, two dictatorships. Then congressmen & Biden will all strangely start acting. Emergency Powers and 14thSec3. MAGA believers will change and their conviction will collapse in fear.

January 6th 2025 will be known as the inauguration of POTUS #47, our first (and not last) Madam President 🇺🇸
RIP
What’s everyone’s take on that?

It would be nice if all the immigrants could take the day off, too, but I wouldn’t want them to risk getting fired, or put on the deportation list early.
It would be great if we all stayed at home January 20th or went to an MLK event instead.
Hopefully MAGA doesn't smear their shit all over the Capitol again.
Declare 45 unfit to serve as 47.
You guys own the pseudopatriotic coward quadrant.

The link is correct.
It would be a SHAME if Dems that have GOP Reps called them, cosplayed as MAGA, and demanded that their Rep. vote against Johnson.

We need to delay, deny and deter DOGE until Muskrat gives up
That would ensure the worst parts of trumpism have no chance in the House.

Let those constitutional purists say we’re wrong when he has promised to pardon confessed insurrectionists- sounds like aid and comfort to me!

It sucks, but so does life.
My mind so wants to go there... but, if I did I fear their contagion had somehow got me. I'm going to make like Jimmy said, and heed my better angels.

The Republican National Committee characterized Jan. 6, 2021, as “legitimate political discourse.”

And why doesn't he change the name? It's foreign 😉!

Any shade of blue will be ok, bandanas for dogs and cats!!
No, this is not something to promote a tech thing.
It's a stand together thing because WE ATE TRAITORS. And, we can't afford to go to D.C. to do it.
Go Blue 😎😎
