00:02 - Yes, dear friends, it's time for Dancing on the Grave,
00:07 starring Donald Trump and pretty much
00:10 all of Hollywood, really.
00:11 - Kathy Griffin was crying tears of joy
00:14 over this Donald Trump conviction.
00:16 - Yes, Kathy, who's had her issues with him in the past,
00:19 writes tears of joy.
00:21 John Cusack says the dumb, treacherous criminal
00:23 is now a convicted felon 34 times over.
00:26 George Takei says we should start referring to him
00:29 as 34 instead of 45.
00:32 - But a lot of people are standing by him.
00:34 - Sure, Caitlyn Jenner writes,
00:35 the only verdict that matters is the vote
00:37 of we the people of the USA on November 5th, 2024.
00:40 And yes, while reaction from Trump supporters
00:42 has been mostly subdued.
00:44 - You suck, there is no such (beep) country.
00:46 - Guilty!
00:47 - Plenty of Republican politicians have been quite vocal,
00:50 repeating Trump's usual stuff.
00:52 - There's a rigged trial, a disgrace.
00:55 - I don't know which way this cuts, frankly.
00:56 I don't know that this hurts him.
00:57 - It could help him.
00:59 And I was watching MSNBC last night,
01:01 it was really interesting.
01:02 They were just railing on Democrats
01:04 for being timid about expressing their feelings.
01:09 - The entire Republican Party is running around all day
01:12 saying this is rigged.
01:13 And largely the Democrats are just saying like,
01:16 rule of law.
01:18 Your opponent got convicted of 34 felonies.
01:21 - Yeah.
01:22 - You can, it's okay, guys.
01:23 - They don't want the legal cases
01:25 to be the base of the campaign.
01:28 They want it to be about abortion rights and other issues.
01:31 - But take a win where you have won.
01:33 Where's the street fight?
01:35 - Because a lot of Democrats feel that this was
01:37 the right verdict, but the wrong case.
01:38 - Two things can be true.
01:39 It can be a crime and it can be a witch hunt.
01:43 They've never used a federal law to bootstrap.
01:46 - Because nobody has ever paid somebody
01:49 to be quiet before a presidential election.
01:51 (laughing)
01:52 That we know of.
01:53 - In any event, maybe this is that moment in history
01:56 when all Americans, Republican and Democrats,
01:59 can come together and, ah, screw it, go nuts.
