I agree with Willem. cut is the command you want for trimming the date and time stamp off the beginning of each line in the log file, e.g. /var/log/messages. This is the strategy I used for years. More recently I haven't done this with journalctl output. I think the same basic approach using cut should work, but you probably need to turn off journalctl's paging.
