A reminder - before Trump, MAGA, Musk and Fox rewrote history - that this is what the entire country agreed had happened five years ago today:

(89,041 posts)Totally dumbstruck, I must admit.
It was shocking to witness this shit, live and in living color. It was almost impossible to believe my own eyes. I couldnt believe the bad behavior taken to those extremes! Cops DIED, okay? Tough, trained and well-equipped police officers DIED that day. I heard the death toll in this evenings network look back reporting: FIVE.
How low we sank.
And for WHAT???
For that self-flattering, hollow-hearted, lying, cheating BASTARD?
How low were still stuck.

(3,126 posts)And we do it via the ballot box.
But that can only happen if there is a vote, and it looks like the Nazis are preparing to cancel it.
Even as I write this, Thiel , Musk, Karp and other demented billionaire traitors are laughing and laughing at the thought of the little American people doing anything against the GOP juggernaut's march to total (and totalitarian) power.
(Thiel, mentor to J.D. Vance, once claimed that the last decade of tries American freedom was the 1920's. Hmmmm, interesting how that all worked out for America, considering how it ended in October, 1929.) (Musk just wants to impregnate white women, to preserve the race, spreading his DNA over the world -- and Mars - like mayonnaise over a deli sandwich.)( Karp just wants to get in your britches and temporal lobes, enabling the complete control of your mind via good ole Artificial Intelligence. Thought crimes, anyone?)
This will be the beginning of the last stand for America. If we have mid-terms, we have to crush the fascists, absolutely crush them. If we merely eke out a majority in the House it will be because MAGA morons have not learned the lessons of history. If we lose in the mid-terms it will be because they were -- I hate to say it, knowing I sound like the Syphilitic Saint in the White House -- rigged.

(5,248 posts)It was a violent insurrection attempt that Trump also watched on TV at the White House and did nothing to stop. Rather, he sermed to enjoy what he saw, so why stop it? He told them he loved them. i remember it all.
NEVER FORGET.

(10,983 posts)SOME of the biggest mistakes of the nation's history are:
1) refusal to hunt down and execute the leaders of the Confederacy in toto - they should have ALL been tried for treason and given the full sentence of law, period.
2) allowing reconstruction to be as mangled and hideous as it was including Jim Crow and everything since Civil Rights Act as well
3) allowing Bush v. Gore to conclude without a forensic tally of ALL votes cast and demands for SCOTUS recusals for conflicted justices that owed their seats to a litigant's family.
4) everything in response to 9/11 that attacked nations uninvolved in the plot and ignored US actions that could have been different
5) Trump
6) not prosecuting everyone involved in J6 actions and the election stealing plot to the fullest extent of the law
7) Democratic party failure to enshrine reproductive rights by law
8) Japanese internment camps
9) failure to listen to Eisenhower's farewell address more literally
10) failure to treat the FIRST amendment as equal in importance to the SECOND as an electoral issue and counter balance to the right's campaign of fetishizing guns and the 2nd as primary.

(3,410 posts)... mercifully expires which can't happen soon enough he does not deserve to be buried in Arlington Cemetery; he should be buried at sea entombed in a concrete sarcophagus directly over the Mariana Trench's Challenger Deep. We can be pretty sure his malignant spirit won't escape from there.

This administration has got to be stopped somehow and held accountable for all the crazy stuff they're doing, someday soon I hope.
