I think Jan 20 should be a day of mourning rather than celebration...<br /><br />And I know some would like to see Trump impeached or brought Have Gone Veganhttp://www.havegonevegan.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7688566476953748496.post-89478435831089957172016-11-20T05:28:53.707-06:002016-11-20T05:28:53.707-06:00Thank you for commenting HGV.

I would point out to you that, due to our system, Mr. Trump is not yet the president...that selection will occur on December 19th when the Electoral College votes. Those electors can, according to the constitution, vote for anyone they choose.
