1. What a shame that Jan. 6 will always be associated with tRump's rebellion.

Here are a couple of more pleasant associations (from Wikipedia):
Epiphany and Old Christmas are both celebrated on January 6th, and are related to the celebration of the birth of Christ:
Epiphany
Also known as the Feast of the Three Holy Wise Men, this holiday commemorates the Magi's visit to baby Jesus in Bethlehem. The Greek word epiphaneia means "appearance" or "manifestation".
Old Christmas
Also known as Little Christmas, Green Christmas, or Twelfth Night, this holiday is celebrated by the Amish and Mennonite communities. It is a more solemn celebration than Christmas, with an emphasis on reflection and visiting.
Here are some traditions associated with Old Christmas:
Fasting until noon
A large meal later in the day
Amish employees do not work
Many Amish-staffed businesses are closed
Spending time with family
No gift exchange
The Amish celebrate Old Christmas out of tradition and reverence for their forefathers. The holiday harkens back to the change from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar, when Pope Gregory XIII moved Christmas to December 25.

2. Yes. We don't take down our tree until the 6th.

[Haggard Celine]

12. I do the same thing.

Some people down here repurpose their trees as Carnival or Mardi Gras trees. So they put the purple, green, and gold on there and it stays there for a couple months longer. They like lights and decorations and just don't want to let it go.

13. January 6 is both my late mother's and my girlfriend's late mother's birthday,

four years apart, in 1921 and 1925, respectively .

15. my mom, too. always took the tree down on her bday.

3. Bloody 'ell...maybe this is why

The evangelicals think the way they do...

Epiphany and Old Christmas are both celebrated on January 6th, and are related to the celebration of the birth of Christ:

4. So are we going to certify an insurrectionist into the Presedency?

[Polybius]

20. There will be some objections

But definitely not a majority in both Houses, which is needed to prevent it from happening.

[Bluethroughu]

21. He's an insurrectionist, you need 2/3 vote in both Houses to

Remove the disability of insurrectionist in order for him TO TAKE OFFICE.

[Polybius]

23. Perhaps, but you still need a simple majority tomorrow to reject the EV's

If nothing happens tomorrow, maybe Roberts can refuse to give him the oath of office on the 20th. If neither of these things happen, he becomes President on the 20th.

[Bluethroughu]

24. Roberts will swear him in, he wiped his dirty butt

With the Constitution when he made the three worst rulings in our history.

Bush v Gore
Citizens United
Immunity ruling

He clogged the toilet like his orange bestie while he was in the Whitehouse.

[UTUSN]

5. K&R

[Tickle]

11. Yep! NT 😣😣😣🙄

[paleotn]

6. Who tried to overthrow the capital. They failed.

7. They'll all be out of prison and pardoned in a few weeks

I’m sure that’s one of those things that will be done on day one.

Hoooorah!

8. Your country needs an

Epiphany about the monster who will be inaugurated later this month - a sudden and profound realization or insight. It often involves a moment of clarity where a person understands something in a new way or recognizes a truth that was previously hidden

That is all

[Kid Berwyn]

16. Three Kings

They always left me a great toy in a shoe box that had been filled with hay for their camels. Always.

[malaise]

17. We could use three wise men

or woman

[Kid Berwyn]

18. People

And that’s the problem — a majority brainwashed into thinking that if they do what they’re told, they will be among the few to have access to the relatively small crumbs that fall off the table of the .01%. Otherwise, the men would be raised in a way where they’d respect and appreciate the wisdom of others, including women.

[malaise]

19. It's so sad

Humans are way too gullible

[progressoid]

9. Wont convince his cult. They think the FBI, Nancy Pelosi, etc. did a false flag opp.

We have an elected official here who was there on J6 and claims what you see on TV never happened. He's a real nutter so can't be sure if he actually believes what he says or is a good liar. Both are possible.

[surfered]

10. Another day like Pearl Harbor and 9/11 that will live in infamy.

Only worse because the attackers were “Americans.”

[WhiteTara]

14. Many of whom did not even vote.

[Politicub]

22. And it's likely these terrorists will be out on the street soon

There will be no consequences for their violence once Trump takes office.
