I was watching live on TV, shaking and angry that they were damaging the Capitol Building and trying to get at our Democratic lawmakers. Feels like yesterday...

1. He was correct then and still is.

2. Some of us posted that here even earlier😀

I remember well

3. All the footage still

Gives me an uncomfortable knot in my stomach.

The new ad with Vance's words about peaceful transfer of power is literally like a trigger event. I hope others who see it will vote accordingly

4. He is right as well as many DUers that day

The moment I saw it I texted my wife there was an ongoing coup attempt

Only because of the incompetence, I later called it a Trumphole Putsch

5. I. Will. Never. Forget.

6. They said they were going to do it and they did and proper security forces were kept away by Trump.

I think.
