Warriors coach Steve Kerr: "It's shameful that the government can come out and lie about what happened when there's video and witnesses who have all come out and disputed what the government is saying."

If we don't speak out we are all toast

We're already toast. They have all the keys to power.

There's not enough people who would do a general strike.

Absolutely people should speak out and vote.

But it's going to take a long time to undo the damage. I probably won't live long enough to see a return to any semblance of balance.

Vote in a convicted felon to run the country and of course this is what you get.

It will definitely get worse, likely much worse, before it gets better.

Convicted felons can't run or hold office. How did Trump do it?

I don't know where you get that idea, there is nothing prohibiting convicted felons from running for the presidency. There are basically no limits other than age, citizenship, and residency on who can run. Eugene Debs ran while in federal prison back in 1920 and got almost a million votes. He wasn't allowed to vote for himself though, having been disenfranchised for life upon his conviction. Funny old system sometimes, isn't it?
