How can I get the absolute responses from a ground motion time history analysis ?

For the time history responses to be reported as absolute values, you need to include the keyword ABSOLUTE as part of the time history load as shown next

GROUND MOTION ABSOLUTE X 1 1 1.0

Also to get the plots of the absolute responses from within the Postprocessing > Dynamics page, you need to go to Results > and uncheck the View Relative Response option.
