Making a mockery of the Democratic process
Monday, November 23, 2020
Isn’t it time for the people of this country and the Republican Party and the Trumpers to say that we are done with the former president Donald Trump, that we have counted the votes, that President Donald Trump has lost his bid for a second term, that the people have spoken and we have a new president named Joe Biden, the Democratic leader from Delaware, and the long time US Senator?
Isn’t it time for someone to say we can remove Trump physically if he chooses not to go willingly? We have been given 70 days for the transition and it is my hope that if we must call out the army to remove a criminal president, we have the will to DO IT.
It is quite clear by now that the defeated President Trump, suffering a clear defeat in both the popular vote and the Electoral College vote is not going to go willingly. The question is: How much longer must we as citizens be denied our rights as a majority of American voters?
How much longer must we put up with this ridiculous and corrupt man who has in his presidency made fools of the entire Senate, corrupted federal law scholars and committed several federal offenses? What offenses, you ask?
