In my opinion, we definitely need a better education system in the US. Some of the nonsense people believe is embarrassing.

[LahainaStrong]

the hypothetical example of a fake university is quite stunning.

[cherylclark]

No, this is not a sad day for America. This a great day for America.
NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW

[MrMelmott]

Will he still call Biden “Crooked Joe “? He’d be better looking in the mirror

[consciouschrysalis]

idiocracy is not just a movie its a documentary

[LittleHammer_]

It is what it is. Everyone is supposed to be accountable to the rule of law. If you break the law, you should have consequences. Trump is not a victim of anything other than his own actions and words. Honestly, it’s about time.

[jackie-seyx]

thank you alvin bragg, team and the amazing 12 ny jurors. you are all true american patriots

[Lion-xmxp]

Danny is sickening.
Why is Cevallas talking. Hope the jurors never talk to Cevallas.
Lisa Rueben is the best!!!!
Don't care about cevallas view.

[sandrabryant]

The party that has literally spent decades going after the Clintons now crying when the actual law catches up with their incontinent leader. 😂

[jimmieeddieschwenk]

He DESERVES at least 60 days in the slammer...

[mathieucoffyn]

jump to 8:08 : "I give you an example, let's say, I'm making a fake university"
Best quote ever

[Titanticore]

The dollar amount of loss is infinite. He should not have been president and damaged the country immensely.

[kevinreid]

This isn't a Gut Punch to America! My Guts are fine.

[ydoucare]

If you advocate for the destruction of the standards of justice because it's against somebody you don't like, don't complain when the standard is later applied to you.

[brendaschmidt]

Excuse me this was not a victimless crime. He won in 2016 from these action. This entire country was victimized by these crimes.

[MrNobodyJones]

I wasn’t any more sad to see Donald found guilty, than Donald would have been sad to see me found guilty.

[ghernz]

Trump should not be allowed to be free to continue the mayhem after being convicted of the 34 felonies .

[MrMelmott]

The real danger is that millions of Americans still believe this man can be president !!

[mistertwisty]

The courtroom sketch guy was definitely having some fun with that one 😂

[ronitknight]

Todd Blanche proved beyond a reasonable doubt that he's not worth $7.25 an hour (yeah, MINIMUM wage).
