Thank goodness that the intelligent prevailed during the election .....
Indeed ! Now that Georgia has hand counted, and examined every single ballot, and the Georgia Secretary of State has certified the results, Biden is the indisputable victor.
However, I am very much more concerned that Trump is now attempting to intimidate election officials. This is the type of thing expected of a banana republic. All I can say is, 'Thank, God, that Trump does not have the power to turn the military loose on our government.'
We have stringent laws in place, most notably The U.S. Constitution, which prohibits any president from using U.S. troops on U.S. soil except to enforce the Constitution. Example: way back in the 1950's, when the state of Alabama tried desperately to prohibit blacks from attending public schools, President Eisenhower, used the National Guard to force the racist governor George Wallace to admit blacks into public schools. Important note: the only way President Eisenhower was able to do that was because the U.S. Supreme Court had already ruled that ALL PEOPLE, REGARDLESS OF COLOR, HAD A CONSITUTIONALLY PROTECTED RIGHT TO ATTEND PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Trump, however, has no such right to use troops to keep him in office. Moreover, by attempting to intimidate election officials, Trump is flirting with treason.
