You tel em JoJo. My then 94 year old father was living with me that day. I was off work and we watched the whole thing unfold on TV. I can never forget my frail WWII vet father, less than six months from death, watching that crowd of destroyers with tears pouring down his cheeks. I will never forgive any of them. Ever.

The “Memory Holing” began on January 7 and continues unabated. Those of us who cling to the truth have a rocky road to walk. We must walk together, not spend time attacking each other. I still haven’t decided whether it will be worse than I imagine, or not quite as bad as I imagine,. I guess we’ll have to wait and see. Luckily, we have you on our side. That counts for a lot.

Stand up for democracy! Thank you, JoJo, for including the devastating evidence of that day “that will live in infamy” just like December 7, 1941.

Excellent Jojo! You speak truth to power like noone else. No, we'll never forget Jan 6 2021 any more than we could forget 9/11/01.

Great job in preserving Jan 6th in words, pictures and Sara Bareilles and "Brave" was the perfect ending. Thank you!

Yeah never mind all the retribution against political enemies. He's systematically trying to erase, or re-write, his biggest embarrassments: Jan 6, Covid, not deleting Obamacare, the unfinished Wall, wrecking the USPS, DOJ and FBI once and for all. He also overstates his popular vote win as a landslide/mandate since he lost the vote twice before.

Sharing and restacking your great post, JoJo. It is a topic of extreme interest and we see unfolding what Mussolini and Hitler did. https://hotbuttons.substack.com/p/dictatorship-is-choreographed?r=3m1bs

I’m trying so hard to stay positive but it’s getting harder everyday, with each new realities unfolding. The idea that my 27 year old daughter, who is a social worker with tons on student debt pays more taxes than the orange shitstain and his entire cabinet. Please, please , someone tell me that there will be a day when all these cult members will realize they have been duped. Will it happen before the mid terms, before the 2028 election, or will it never happen? Has the ship sailed too far? Is our democracy lost forever? Will he/they never leave until a civil war starts? I’m so sorry for my four kids and their futures. I’m educated I know history and I know that there are ebbs and flows but this time I just have this sinking feeling inside that this time we just might be lost. The 250 year old experiment might’ve just failed.

Alvin Bragg is saying that Trump is NOT immune, and he CAN be sentenced.

IT seems Americans have very short memories, JoJo, I'll never forget where I was when this was being Televised in real time. Things are going to look a lot worse, before this get any better, I'm afraid. Thank You, for venting today and will reStack ASAP 💯

Thanks. I’m 75 and never been as fearful of my own government in my life.

I'm 67 and I'm disgusted with my government. They're really blowing it and are inadvertently, or intentionally, heading everybody toward a civil war. I don't know about you, sir, but I'm too old to fight. I'm a veteran but too old now.

I couldn’t agree more. I hope people like Jo will help lead the fight

She'll be part of it, but she's going to need a bunch of help. Young men need to stop being cowards, too. Don't let ladies to all the muscle-work when there are able-bodied men all over the place.

I really like 'Tinkle Tape Traitor! It is quite apropos.

I will never ever forget that day. I simply cannot, for the life of me, understand how we as a nation can put someone who has no respect for our Constitution back in the White House. Inauguration Day will be nothing but sacrilege and perjury as that malignant narcissistic antichrist motherfucker puts his hand on the Bible and swears he's going to "to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States" Such bullshit. He doesn't give one fuck about America and he's even said it in so many ways. If any of my MAGA family or friends EVER want to talk with me again, I tell them that they MUST watch at least the summary day of the Jan 6th hearings, if not all seven days.

I'm not watching it. I might break my TV. SMFH

Thank you for this very timely message. We are all in for a rough time, including the MAGAts. Yes, they really are clueless.

I am telling myself to "plan for the worst, and hope for the best," because without being forewarned in some way, we may wind up with little to hope for.

So hang in there. Hang strong! Keep the photos and the memories available and share them.

You said: "They want us to “get over it.”

We’re never going to be “ over it”

We shouldn’t ever be “over it.”

We have to remember it, in all its gruesome detail."

Dave sez: Your posting is a PSA reminder that NOW is the time for ALL of us who want to triumph over the next 4 years do to what ALL marginalized groups (Black, Hispanic, Indigenous, LGBTQ+, Asian, disabled, etc.) have been doing for the last, oh, 250 plus years: stand strong, don't give in (or "surrender in advance"), do what you can do (or are willing to do) and most important-keep our eyes on the prize. It won't come easy, but together we can get it done.

Another Brilliant and totally on the Mark post JoJo!!! Great minds must think alike because I, too, have been dwelling on January 6th the last couple of days and it fills me with so much rage that these fools put him BACK in office even knowing what he did that awful day!!! Breaks my heart too. I include my own Mother and youngest daughter in that as well. 💔😪

Lord please give us ALL strength to "hang on" and "stay strong" through these next 40 days and then when he takes over. We all need each other. Thanks for everything you do Jo!! You certainly are beautiful inside and out!!!

♥️🇺🇸💙

We have to remember consistently to see all verbiage from #25 and his MAGA supporters as a gigantic mirror of their own lies, views, and future misdeeds and crimes. Above all, they are fearful of our derision, our gut laughter, and the truth and consequences (and I’m not referring to the town or the old game show)! The more we know, the more that is consistently exposed just may save our nation AND our sense of truth and possibly our humanity.

Pardoning the Jan. 6 criminals may be an invitation to others who support him to have no worries about transgressing federal laws because their pardons are already dangling from his fingers. So go ahead and take whatever action you feel is necessary to stop the great replacement in its tracks because you won't have to do time in a federal lockup.
