Also remind them about CHAZ and the successionists who took over part of Seattle for a month. It appears this is also being minimized. #voteblue 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈
I am baffled why the 14th Amendment Section 3--which clearly states that someone who participated in or showed favor to an insurrection is disqualified from Federal office-- has not been invoked. Do we have a Constitution or not? I called my reps...but what else can an ordinary citizen do?
Also as a USA citizen… since we will now have a known criminal, a felon as president (that our seditious Supreme Court gave immunity to as if a king) we need to be aware of exactly what are the felons official acts as an American president??
A list of what a criminal president can get away with.
I have never forgotten and I never will. To think our own countrymen attacked our government led by a fascist dictator wannabe. It still makes my heart hurt.💔
Part of the problem is the whitewashing that has come from Republicans. Their original disgust (looking at you, Lindsey) melded into their finger in the wind to see where the base was to kissing Trump's ass. If politicians keep cowering to the base then expect this type of lawlessness.
I woke up this morning, took a second to remember the date. January 6th. And immediately thought back to four years ago and felt sickened and sad for our country.
I'm worried about the next 2 weeks.
After today's certification, D.T may rally his thugs & send them to attack those on his list.
He loves using his fools 2do his dirty work.
I also think he'll make up an excuse why he can't pardon his gang members.
My outrage and disgust are right on the surface today, especially after watching The Sixth following the vote certification. No accountability for 🍊and those in Congress who conspired to overturn the 2020 election. And 77M+ citizens said, yep, we want more of that.
I'm 80 .. I only have to keep that outrage in my memory strong and fresh for about 2 more decades .. and I will ! (My mother is 101 so I expect to make it)
Right up at top with his Cronies, and we can't Forget The Greatest #2 Jim Jones , Warren Jeff's, L. Ron Hubbard, just to Remind the Few Tea baggers. We See You, Judge Please Carry on Soldier of Democracy.
What disturbs me so much is either over half of our country really does support and condone Trump’s treason - or - they actually don’t, and the 2024 election was indeed stolen - by the very same traitor, Trump.
And I appreciate the story about your mother-in-law. My parents were not activists, but just knowing they wouldn't vote for Wallace when so many around us were supporting him is an encouragement for me.
Maybe teaching anger management/non violent communication skills to kids grades 1 thru 12 might circumvent not only dictators/cult leaders from being able to fire people up, but also school/mass shootings from ever happening. Stop focusing on the symptoms, America, and instead, treat the cause!
The media is lying to you.
Congress does NOT certify elections.
The 12th amendment is clear.
Each state certifies its own vote.
Congress gathers ONLY to hear the results.
Any vote they take is irrelevant and can not change anything.
Might I Add we did have an exceptional President in President Jimmy Carter, he was The Most Genuine Man you'll have honor of Giving Back to his Country. Habitat for Humanity will Forever be The Greatest Legacy to Humanity.
Like a President Should
It’s not slipped away from me. And every time I hear some maga dismiss it and lie about it, or call themselves “patriots”? It hits all over again. I’ll always be furious and disgusted.
Trump should have been charged right away and held pending trial. That's how it should have gone. Brazil and South Korea are doing it correctly. Americans need to stop saying they have the greatest nation in the world. They don't.
It's pretty amazing what a few years in a massively well-financed, social-media-broadcast, crackpot conspiracy-fueled infopolitainment echo chamber can do for the perceptions of the human mind, ain't it?
I remain outraged that Trump et al was not held accountable by those charged with that responsibility. That is the shift you see. I now concentrate my efforts on the strengths of our constitutional republic, the strength of the States to hold up our Constitution.
Don't worry they will get that outrage back ... because Trump will absolutely remind them with his Tyranny ...He is still not a legitimate President in my opinion because of the 14th Amendment sec 3 as I interpret it ...
All too sadly it is slipping away because of the incrdible ineptitude of the Democrats and the abject failure of the existing institutions to prosecute the rich, but all too easily prosecuted the poor and defenseless.
Or maybe uphold the Constitution. He is disqualified & should NOT be certified, but Democrats will roll over and not stand up as usual. America is one big failure. The insurrectionists won. It just took 4 years, and our systems in all areas failed. Wake up, FFS.
So many have gone back to sleep. I haven't nor will I let that day be forgotten no matter how much revisionism or whitewashing by the MAGA GOP use to erase it. It will forever be Trump's legacy. The whole world saw it.
Face it Joyce. Trump got away with EVERYTHING. The US has a convicted felon president. America is no longer a world power, just another banana republic run by morally bankrupt corrupt felons.
Including current House & Senate Dems, Biden, etc. Where is Jack Smith's report - why has Garland not released? Why is Biden and the Dems not insisting he at the very least release? Once again significant taxpayer money for naught...
45 and his maga republican cult have been busy rewriting history. Calling this day a peaceful protest and a day of love. How anyone could have watched this and then think yes this was peaceful is beyond me.
Never ever forget what trump attempted to do by angering jus followers to storm the capital to prevent the will of the people for his own narraccist self. He is a very sick man and follows Nazi ideaologies which he will attempt to impose on all Americans . Be aware and call out his evil attemps.
The problem is, 77 million dont care as long as they can do what they want because they know they will get away with it because their president can. It will get so much worse and thousands of people will die in the name of trump.
The Rape and Pillage has begun. Why else have Pedo AG, and Crony Cabinet. Removing Abortion a child's only recourse Against Daddy. It Needs to be a Cartoon
Well, CNN, et al., thwart that by repeatedly calling the insurrectionist mob “protesters” AND never even mentioning Trump and his minion participants and instigators (especially those in Congress).
I still remember very clearly how hard I cried, watching it unfold and yelling at the TV, "Where's the National Guard???" I doubt I will ever forget that
This is a joke right?!? The way to protect our country was to not certify the person who was responsible for January 6th. If there were outrage, people would have protested, but they weren't. Dems gave January 6th their stamp of approval today.
Yes, we're aware but we've got (at least) four long years of Inmate #P01135809 ahead of us and it's important we don't normalize him and the things he does or it will be even harder to climb out of this hole and I'm not sure we will in my lifetime.

It appears MSNBC is trying to minimize Trump’s retribution against them; but Joe and Mika promised to tell the truth about Trump.
Barely skimming over Jan 6 is not Truth.
It’s fear.

My beloved Paul died today 20 years ago.

He loves using his fools 2do his dirty work.

May our shared wish come true in 2025
