Inaguration...and everyone loses their minds!

I just read about Rosie O'Donnell calling for the imposition of martial law to stop the inauguration of Donald Trump.  Aside from committing a felony (ie advocating the violent overthrow of the US government), she is showing how unhinged and insane some people really are.

Elections come and elections go.  Presidents come and go.  You don't win them all.  Just because your guy loses does not mean you go into psycho mode.

That is what separates us from most of the world--and orderly and peaceful transition of power after an election.  We have been doing that since 1800, when George Washington, after two terms in office, handed off to John Adams in a boring inauguration. 

This is not the Third World where there are military coups and revolutions after an election. In this country, one guy wins and the other guy hands off and we have an election in four years.  In the meantime, there are two other branched of gov't to keep the executive in check just in case.

Rosie should be proud that the worst thing that will happen on January 20 is that President Obama might steal all of the pens out of the Oval Office desk....maybe leave a whoopie cushion for President Trump.

If you don't like it Rosie, move.

We don't do military coups here.
