   "Legally"? According to what law?

   "Elected"? Who were the other candidates to vote for? How long
did their election campaign last?

   You don't think this "legally elected", but, never the less,
done deal, looks a helluva lot like how things have always been performed
in quite a number of dictatorships in this world, do you?

   C'mon Joe! You have enough life experience to see straight through a
rigged "election" and call it by it's proper name -- a coup,
don't you? Forget for just a few seconds on what foot you're wearing the
shoe.
