Five years ago today, J-6 happened!

And we are still living in the nightmare of the prick who caused this mess!

This narcissist moron should never have able to take power again, but here we are.

A convicted felon has the keys and driving us off the cliff of sanity and peace, killing everything in it’s path.

I will never forgive those who allowed this man to have the power to destroy our country.

We have not spoken much since the election when she said to me, "I have never felt more hopeful for this country, than I do now." She was referring to him of course. He whom she did not vote for in 2016 and 2020, but did in 2024 despite his baggage. She could not vote for the woman, who she referred to "as one who would give it all away."

The less I speak with her, the better. The last time we really spoke was when my husband was dying. I wonder how "hopeful" she is feeling now up there in Shasta County. Her only grandson is in the US Marine Corps.

I forwarded an article from a paster about why he wasn’t going to vote for trump. She replied that she and her husband had already proudly voted for him and how could I be so stupid not to. She would get upset when her husband and I could talk about politics, now he is just like her.

I did with mine, showing her hypocrisy. Ask her this question.."In what ways does Donald Trump embody the VALUES and VIRTUES that Jesus Christ preached about in the New Testament?"

Wait for her to respond before she hangs up (if on the phone) or walks away from you(if in person). You will have her answer either way. Then walk away with your head held high.

I don’t think anything in the history of the world’s great powers is a more damaging self inflicted wound than America voting him back into office despite knowing exactly what he was.

But nope, we have fucking Fox News who went into full "nothing to see here" mode as they helped elect the people who caused this nightmare and got Trump off the hook.

"January 6th could not have happened the way it did WITHOUT Donald Trump."

From what I could tell, little opposition from Republicans was the result. For many of them were at the Capitol that day and they hid for their lives too.
