If any person or group doesn't like the results of an election too bad, not everyone makes the same choice, that's why elections are held. Whoever comes out on top due to the voters is elected, accept that. The prior election didn't result in the candidate I had voted for being elected, another was, I accepted that and made no presumptions ahead of time what they would or would not do. I had no idea, they hadn't held the office yet, there was nothing to evaluate. I do however take exception when the person I voted for is elected and others don't like the results and now my opinion and vote don't count ? Then these poor losers decide I don't care if He won, I'm going to get rid of Him and screw all those that got Him elected to that. i'll get rid of Him even if I have to make up stories or spread false rumors to do it, I want what I want and You don't count. Well I do count and so does this country and the way We elect our leaders and We won't allow them to take over and discard our elected officials which is just what they tried to do.

Could not agree more. When I signed up for the military I honestly did not fully understand the oath I was taking, probably not to many other 17 year old's did either. However by the time I took it for a second time it started to sink in as to what it meant. I soon found out that every one that was elected president was not the individual I wanted or voted for. I also found out the biggest right I was defending was the right to everyone having an opinion. Like it or not they were right to have it. However I did learn that with my opinion came responsibility. I have to admit I am thankful we have a country with checks and balances. I find it ironic that people will complain about various folks in congress. Ironically, they normally seem to be the ones they can't vote for. I have only three that I can vote for. My two senators and one congressman. If I don't like someone else's I guess I'll have to move to oppose them, or just accept the fact that folks there must like them.

The sad thing is not one person will see the inside of a cell due to this. Not one person will face charges. Not one person will serve time for this.

I believe you are correct and it's truly unfortunate.
