I think not letting him take the seat he is lawfully elected to (again, if that happens) would set a dangerous precedent. If we think back on our history, there have been many times where we have lost our moral compass (not outlawing slavery at the moment of our country's birth, as one example). It's not to minimize what is happening now but one can only hope we survive to recover from this Presidency with an intact democracy. If we don't, it is the fault of many of our citizens. We would have rotted from within.

As long as they live above the law, they are not governing, they are dictating.

I feel bad for minorities including Democrats, Women, Hisbanics, Muslims and Jews in Alabama! A perfect example of not enough people voting down the ballot in the last election and new people not getting into state politics. Chocolate covered toffee baking chips?

We also need to stand by the standard that says innocent until proven guilty. It feels like many women are screaming sexual assault only to later be found to have been paid to say so in an attempt to ruin someone. When the charges are proven in a court of law, Then the accused should pay for their crimes. The women who are proven to be dishonest in their accusations should also pay for their crimes. The Government Officials who commit crimes should also be officially charged, tried and if proven guilty, should pay for their crimes. As we all have been told, no one is above the law, yet it seems that many people are, in that charges are never brought against them. Then there are others, like the Bundy's, who are charged for taking a video of law enforcement officials (BLM) and they spend 2 years in jail before even being tried. Our world has definitely been in a downward spiral, and we all need to work together to try to get it upright again. Do I approve of the sitting President tweeting and causing so much turmoil? No. But do I approve of him standing up for the America we all grew up in? Yes. It is scary out there right now, and I pray that We the People can prevail. I pray that we can find our moral compass again!
