Hi how are you doing today

[@drewski1535]

I can't get over how Stephen's anger really hits you hard I feel his words

[@SuperSpikejack]

lol

[@RxanDz]

Gayyyyyyyyyy

[@LeethLee1]

Bahahahaha

[@JohnE9999]

Aw, losing is that bad?

[@abrahamrivera6298]

Get off your knees for him

[@maitaizzzz]

Stephen, I'm not an American, nor do I live in the states. But like most people globally, have been following this election. Seeing you get choked up due to actions by a big dangerous baby, because of the damage done to the country that you love broke my heart. Hang in there, it looks like things are about to turn up. Love the show.

[@emilynewton1921]

Robin, I am devastated. If you pray. Pray for us, please. Stay safe.

[@winstonthespartan5593]

Same thing as a Canadian,

[@anambelle]

Every American who voted against Trump feels the same. I think many who voted for him are probably disappointed but there is no leadership on that end to decry these trash lies.

[@Dionysus3883]

@Doomsurfer good question. Another good question is why the Democrats didn't get those same dead/out-of-state people to vote for Democratic senators so they could take back control of the Senate instead of setting Biden up to be completely unable progress any of his plans through legislation. Seems like they would have done that, being smart enough to steal the election and all.

[@tinabean713]

@Doomsurfer And they'll find nothing but nonsense lies and allegations, just like the President's last commission on voter fraud. Do you remember the one taxpayers funded to find nothing when DJT's ego couldn't handle losing the popular vote by 3 million and he claimed there were buses of illegals counting millions of votes. Everything you listed just now is just as BS as the allegations were then.

[@robertmarkabbott8379]

Instead of laughs, tears came from my eyes when Stephen sat and watched "Beer, BBQ..." Trump yelling Biden crime family. THANK YOU Stephen for being a catharsis for us during this American tragedy.

[@plumpub]

You have helped me get through these last 4 miserable years, and that would have been enough. But seeing your courage in calling the orange pretender a fascist just doubled my respect and admiration for you.

[@dionnemcdonald7678]

I could not agree more. He speaks truth with courage ❤️

[@Yosemite25]

Courage... LOL. I like the fact that the USA is near equally divided. I will miss the Democrats bitching and moaning. Now Biden is in .... now it’s the Republicans turn. I find absolutely hilarious that anyone thinks their voice or vote counts. Life goes on. If you can’t figure out how to succeed under either party ... you are an idiot. Morals , green deal... whatever. I have made more money just playing each regime. The country of “all about me”

[@mainemceachern1521]

Yea now that Biden won yall niolibs can go back to brunch and keep ignoring all the corruption of the DNC. Both parties are a corporate mirage when are you people going to see through this?

[@JaguarRVP]

Stephen, thank you for all you do, i find myself laughing and crying and laughing again through all the bullshit we have had to go through these past few years! But your shows help!!

[@rw218]

I don't think I have ever seen him so impassioned, angry, and sad. Honestly, I almost broke into tears when he paused in the beginning. His wife's laughter has done a lot to help me get through the pandemic. But I think it was the only thing that got me through that monologue without breaking down. Proof that despite all the horrors that he had to report, there is some hope left in the world. Stephen, buy that woman some flowers for all of us!

[@clarepurcell8399]

I teared up too.

[@caliwagg1898]

It was genuinely distressing to see him look so upset.

[@Chaoticbunnii]

Broke my heart too. Now I’m crying, and I haven’t even finished the video.

[@christopherbronson3275]

You obviously didn't watch Trump get declared winner in 2016. It was pretty bad then

[@Chaoticbunnii]

Christopher Bronson I was just talking to a friend yesterday about how we can barely remember anything since before this presidency.

[@SGGCREATIVES]

@@jj7546 I know a few. Unfortunately for me.

[@nem0763]

@@jj7546 I know a few, and I'm Canadian. There are things to like and admire about them. That's not the point. If you refuse to condemn aggressive anti-democratic behaviour, it's not about your political values anymore. Political values are moot when Trump holds democracy itself in contempt. Not just Republican officials, but citizens too, should be able to agree without hesitation that it is a dangerous and repugnant thing to do. Support Trump's policies and achievements in office if you want, but this one is not negotiable. It cannot stand.

[@infinitelovelightenergy8586]

Stephen has SERIOUSLY reached his limit with DT. He can’t even sit anymore...So sad it’s come to this. But Stephen is right, it’s time for Republicans to speak up against this insanity or they ARE THIS. Period.

[@pauls4742]

Its WAY past time for the Republicans to speak up... they're a bunch of gutless cowards who don't care that the US is turning into a banana republic.

[@alkiebythesea]

My sentiments as well. The fact that other Republican candidates regained positions in Senate & House, speaks volumes of Vote Electoral transparency. Also the States that got flipped has Republican Governors....for Trump to want to sue them, speaks volumes of his integrity. The citizens had enough & also rest of the world as it affects us all. I luv Stephen to say it as is.

[@kekwayblaze3176]

They are afraid of the Trump base and are probably thinking forward to the 2022 mid-terms and want to keep those seats as it looks like they will regain their majority in the Senate this time and are hoping to flip Congress and they will do it by blocking Joe's agenda and then blame Joe for not getting anything done. If that sounds familiar it's because Republicans in the Senate did the same thing with Obama. We could be facing a global economic meltdown soon and Joe will have to inherit that as Obama did and if Democrats are blocked because the Senate won't pass anything that anger will arise once again and there will be a Trump 2.0 waiting in the wings to run as the GOP candidate for 2024 and he or she could be worse than Trump. You think those Trump supporters will go away quietly? No they won't. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that base will be up for grabs on the right and this where a Trump 2.0 could emerge and make Trump look pale in comparison. If Biden ignores the working class, young people and does not fix what went wrong with him losing support among blacks and Hispanics and Latinos then the danger is a Trump 2.0 could win the White House in 2024. I have no confidence in Biden even acknowledging what the Dems did wrong this time and why that landslide victory never came to pass and why the blue wave that would supposed to sweep the country never came to pass either. Remember Dems wouldn't even do an autopsy report of what went wrong in 2024 and instead blamed Russia, Jill Stein and Bernie for Hillary losing.
