I voted in north Georgia and it was hard, In that I felt everyone around me was a Trump supporter, but I did it, ha! We wanted to do it in person, just to make sure✌🏼😁
Thank you kindly❣️❤️ I have seen a large Republicans for Biden Sign at the major intersection of my town so - a bit of change maybe?? Good luck to you all and be safe and well As we go through these next months🗽
I swear they rang here in Germany too soon after the results came out. We were all at the edge of our seats stress eating American candy and staying up until 3 to check the results. Still have some hope for the senate, but it is definitely sweet that Trump is gone.
I backed Elizabeth Warren in the primaries, and the saddest part for me when she withdrew was when she said, “I’m so sorry for all the young women and little girls I met during the campaign, to whom I promised we would see a woman in a position of leadership in the White House. I guess we’ll have to wait a little bit longer.” I watched Harris’ speech with my two young daughters, and thinking about Warren’s words made me choke up. Harris may not be president, but in the end we DIDN’T have to wait longer to see a woman in the White House.
I cried when she ended her campaign, too. And then I cried again with tears of joy when I heard wolf Blitzer say the magic words on Saturday. My heart had been filled with hope again!
I’m almost in my 30s and I cried when she apologized to all the little girls she had made pinky promises to. It was like she was apologizing to my inner child who had been waiting for a woman in the White House forever. I’m so glad that Kamala Harris is making that happen.
I feel exactly the same way and was in tears watching that beautiful speech by Kamala. I hope Liz can stick it up those rich crooks in the new administration! Thanks for restoring my faith in people again! Love from Australia
Sadly, people like Warren will more than likely have little influence on federal politics with corporate centrist like Biden in charge and GOP controlling the Senate. Biden seems more interested in filling his cabinet with right leaning repubs, liertarians, centrist, lobbyist, wallstreeters and war mongerers like Dick Cheney, while at same time having little nice to say about progressives, progresive movement and folks left/far left of Biden.
'They' would rather give up democracy than accept a win by the Democrats. That's the sad reality. What in the world are they so afraid of? Health care for all? Racial justice? Climate protection? It is so sickening.
@Nikki Willis-Somerset I thought the same thing, they will accept Mitch, Lindsay as winning but not Trump losing and Joe Biden winning the Presidency - (I am not tired of saying that or writing that) Joe Biden is our President elect and Kamala Harris is our Vice-President elect. :)
Because they misspelled the name on the top. If it was Trump's name we'd be called sore losers, snowflakes and liberal tears and ivanka would be ordering new curtains. They certainly wouldn't wait until December.
You guys made this victory happen, each one of you and everyone who participated because of you.. I participated more than I would have because of vote save america and crooked.
You wonderful, wonderful boys...it's so good to see you all looking so much more relaxed, a twinkle in your eyes & those horrid Trump induced stress lines gone from your cherubic faces! I'd dance with joy but it's 3am here & I don't want to wake the downstairs neighbours! 💖💖💖
None of THESE guys are activists. They're the architects of the lies Obama delivered from his speeches, especially his campaign speeches. But I agree with you--the REAL activists out there are gold.
Ruth Harris Right. Doubt SM will provide credible proof, but in addition, THESE guys are responsible for building a community network that raised millions and millions of dollars and secured hundreds of thousands of volunteer hours, so yes, OP, they are activists and I’m glad to hear they’ve had a positive effect on you. They have on me as well, and undeniably on the effort to oust tangerine idi amin.
I'm in Korea and I remember waking up around 3 am, during the counting before it was called, and seeing Joe Biden in casual dress speaking about the process and his optimism for victory. The thought that went through my mind was, "Grandpa's home. The bad man won' t hurt you any more." But seriously, I felt safe and cared for for the first time in four years. And regarding Kamala Harris' speech. My mother is someone who was skeptical of her as a VP, but even she was moved and said it was a "great speech." Indeed, the bad man is fading away and we should just look forward to an era of good, compassionate and competent government.
If you want to chat about that whole debacle in these replies please feel free, it has brought me such joy to learn about each new detail of it. Easily funnier than most political satire. 🤣
I read a comment earlier...full disclosure, I'm stealing it. It said that Giuliani was between a porn shop and a crematorium...he didn't know whether he was coming or going!!
I'm yet to come off my high from Saturday. This election was the most monumentally important and consequential in my lifetime and possibly in history, and I had the incredible privilege of participating in it. Joe Biden deserves this so much. So much. His dreams have finally come true, and not a moment too soon. I love that man. And as an Asian-American woman, I can't tell you how proud I am that my country has finally elected a woman of color to one of its highest offices. I feel represented and heard.
As people were celebrating I saw three children (7,8,10 years old) with a Biden/Harris sign on the street corner. It brought me so much joy and tears because they were so young and already participating in democracy. Tearing up just thinking about that sight and hearing all the horns honking.
Jaysus. Weird to see another Irishman here haha, nobody I know gives two fucks about this stuff lol. Even weirder that you were the first comment on the video for me.
It would be two new Senators for each of them & several Representatives, hopefully all Democrats, BLUE WAVE CONGRESS, include the two Democrats from Georgia when they win the Georgia RUNOFF elections, donate some money to them, I have donated $45 of my Social Security Retirement check & I live in Nevada.
Born in California, been living in Puerto Rico nearly 45 years. What Puerto Rico needs is Independence, not Statehood. We are a latin/Caribbean country with a unique culture. We are also an island 90 miles long and 45 miles wide. At that size we would be sliced and diced into vacation homes for the wealthy who would love to buy a piece of a Caribbean US State, but who are leery of trying to live in a foreign Latin nation. I spent a year and a half in Hawaii, and I saw what the US has done to that former Pacific tropical nation. Yes, Hawaii had its own culture and language for thousands of years. It was very unique. There was no concept of land ownership. The land was revered and living on it was considered a privilege. One's duty was to care for nature and respect it. Then the Dole family decided they wanted to make a lot of money raising pineapples, and convinced the US government to back them up. The Hawaiian leaders were oppressed and imprisoned, and their land confiscated. Their culture was almost totally annihilated, and their language was nearly destroyed. Land prices there now are so high that the remaining native people are forced to live in marginal conditions and most of them have moved to the US mainland. In 1898 the US decided it wanted a coaling station for ships on the way to Panama. Puerto Rico had a good harbor, and abundant natural resources. It was a logical spot to make money by a massive land grab and solved the coaling problem. Puerto Rico, like Hawaii, was invaded by the US military, and seized. It didn't matter that Spain, the former Colonial power, had finally granted Puerto Rico its independence less than two years before. Puerto Rico became a Colony again. Now the people of Puerto Rico, who were forced to accept US citizenship, have been programmed to fear independence. There are rumors that under independence Social Security payments would be confiscated by the Independence Government. The education system has never been allowed or funded to grow properly. English is mandatory in a fully Spanish speaking country. The abuses of land ownership and profiteering on all levels has been staggering. Everything in Puerto Rico is around 40% more expensive than necessary because all imports are forced to be transferred to US flagged vessels in US ports before being shipped on to Puerto Rico. That abuse is a huge cash windfall for US shipping companies. With that extra money alone available to Puerto Rico, independence becomes viable. Thus far Puerto Rico has clung to an intermediate status, Commonwealth, which is halfway between Statehood and Independence. It is hard for many here to realize, but Statehood would be a disaster. It would spell the death of Puerto Rican Culture.
Lovett, you made me cry! I live in Southern California & hearing you describe the victory from a state that has been pissed on by the guy in charge, was so cathartic & restored a brevity in my world. A huge shot in the hope vein. Thank you for keeping hope alive everyday. 🙏🏽💞🤩👏
I was soo depressed on Tuesday night didn’t sleep for a minute, Wednesday gave me a glimpse of hope I slept better, by Saturday I was at driving and heard cnn declared Biden Harris victory. I turned around and wanted to be home soo quickly I wanted to watch the whole thing unfolding it was very satisfying.
Yes! I had the same reaction as Lovett and it took me a second to realize what had happened and what an amazing peaceful feeling it was! I just happened to glance at yet another idiotic violent comment from Trump and I didn’t even pause to read more, it (he) just suddenly seemed so irrelevant :) What a feeling! 😍
Brought it home in his basement? I'm tired of reading these ridiculous uninformed comments like yours, as of now biden won shit. No one will get to declare either sides victory until the Courts decide. Trump still has a very good chance of winning another 4 years. Stay dumbed down with these crazy videos.
@@dickdomain719 I think you're being a dick but you're technically correct. I don't think we'll ever see another election where the projected loser concedes. They'll all be litigated from now on.
@@dickdomain719 I agree. The results aren't official until certified by Congress in December. Being called president-elect is a really more of a norm in a country where being called one after election night is primarily about investing legitimacy in the eventual peaceful transfer of power. It's so that the public gets used to the changes coming. Not gonna get into the GSA formalities but that's the primary goal - legitimacy. But the numbers just aren't there for Trump to catch up in the states where he needs to catch up. Every day Biden's lead increases in WI, PA, MI, and GA. Look, I felt the same when Hillary lost and could've easily demanded recount after recount and court filing after court filing, but the numbers just weren't there for her either. So she lost. And Trump was deemed president-elect by the media that night and the public even before Congress made it official. Regardless of what the "not my president" protesters said then. And with smaller margins than Biden now. Trump won MI, WI, PA by around 70,000. Biden's winning them by 160,000 and counting. But Trump legitimately got the votes to reach 270, so has Biden now. Hope we can agree on that.
me, too! day and night endlessly refreshing and then forced myself outside and do some cooking and missed the moment! whooped it up in my sadly quiet neighborhood of hiding Trumpers. Had to go drive through downtown to see the tribe.
can we just acknowledge that Lovett referred to the greatest nerd movie, The American President, when he said “the people drink the sand.” as a fellow polisci nerd-i felt this in my soul. ❤️❤️❤️
Except Hitler and Mussolini were dead and the Germans (most) were ready to put down their weapons. I feel like we're still at war and I know the Trump supporters think we are. This feels more like the Korean war to me. A stalemate but we saved half the nation.
I wanted to slap myself in the face when I missed it. After refreshing my phone every 5 seconds and sleeping with the news on, my brother called me to say that we had won. In my dorm, a bunch of people ran out of their rooms screaming that we had won a few minutes later! It still hasn't sunk in. I catch myself crying every once in a while! 💙
I'm in Indonesia and because I'm one of only a few Americans here it feels surreal. I feel I'm not seeing what you guys are seeing. I think you're ignoring the fact that many of the counties that gave Biden a victory were very close and are under attack. The election isn't over for Trump's supporters. I understand that everyone needs to believe this is real but I'm going to need something real before I can relax. Someone commented that a glitch in one Michigan county had been cured and the 3000 vote Biden lead was flipped to a 2500 Trump lead. Yes, it would take 50 other counties to flip the lead in Michigan but in Georgia and other states it wouldn't take much at all to give Trump the lead. We need to stay focused until the election is confirmed in December. This is too important to dance in the one yard line and that's exactly what I'm seeing.
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS PODCAST! I’m finally sleeping and have stopped crying (tears of joy) Thank you for all you do, I look forward to the next drop💙💙💙💙💙💙
15 minutes in, I’m crying... I’m Australian, but I’m way too invested in US politics and well-being. I was so (tentatively) relieved, as everyone else paying close attention. This podcast though, the message conveyed, the shared relief articulated... the eyelash in my eye. All leads to a flood of tears that won’t stop. Phew.
I hope you're paying as much attention to Australien politics. I've been just as shocked at how far right Australia is headed on many issues. But hopefully soon everyone everywhere can stop the global march to fascism.
@@pakde8002 we’ve just had a state election here in Queensland: fortunately the Labor party won. One Nation party is a pebble in our shoe. But, there are up and coming smaller parties that hopefully die in the sun: Clive Palmer’s UAP and Katter They’re embarrassing and frightening. They’re the racist misogynists of old. We too are a painfully racist country. But I think of Egg-boy. Bless his cotton socks. And I keep the faith.
As a fellow Australian, I was also knuckle biting on the outcome of this election. I am so relieved that the USA has elected a party that takes climate change seriously and personally loathe '45 (who's name shall never be spoken again). We need to also look at the parties that represent all of the people and our environment effectively and call them out when they fail to do so. I look forward to seeing this Biden Presidency kick some goals for the future of our planet. Thanks Crooked Media for making sense in a time of nonsense.
This podcast is one of the most thought provoking, informative and/ yet entertaining peices of information I regularly listen to! These guys are fantastic and reassure me that smart talented people work in the government
If they had actual evidence, they would submit the legal complaints and not go into detail. But they want to spread any baseless claim they can because they know some will stick in their supporters minds.
It broke my heart when that blob would humiliate the press at press meetings. The ridiculed pick of his acrimonious comments just kept on and ignored it. Class. Nothing he recognizes. Out with his trash!
Already donated to Jon Ossoff's campaign and will donate to Raphael Warnock's efforts as well. We NEED these two to come through for the senate in order for Biden's agenda to get as much through as possible in the next two years. Otherwise it's going to be a struggle to get anything past that monolith of a grim reaper in the senate.
Are we overreacting? I don’t understand the psyche of the nation right now. Trump is so stunningly bad for America. How is half the country still buying it?
I went to brunch with my friend the day it was called that Biden won. Literally right before she pulled up to my place MSNBC called it and I texted her that Biden won and we both freaked out. The whole time we were at brunch, we sat outside, there were cars honking as they drove by and then when we left and were driving around, more cars were honking and people yelling for joy. I was only 22 at the time, 24 now, and I have never ever seen anything like that before. What a time to be alive. I’ll never forget it.
My favorite part of Biden’s speech was: “Tonight, the whole world is watching. I believe at our best, America is a beacon for the globe. And we lead not by the example of our power, but by the power of our example.”. My disappointment was that he didn’t thank the Postal Workers. What they’ve been through...geesh.
I'm trying to figure out how to contact someone who can hook me up to do in-person GotV and registration and maybe working the polls in GA. I filled out a form at Fair Fight; any other recommendations? I'm in Maine, but I can take the time off and head down there for the next month or two.
I imagine if you contact the senate candidates’ campaigns they’ll be able to point you in some sort of a direction. That’s super cool that you’re willing to travel that far to help out, mad respect ❤️
But they need to have one essential qualification - a commitment to pursue justice against lawbreakers in the prior regime, and not just a willingness to “move on” and let bygones be bygones.
Blue wave? Where's our blue wave? We barely won and Trump isn't conceding. The GAO has not approved funds for transition. I thought that was a non partisan office? Wtf?
Lovett's crack about the dildo store cracked me up -- as does that the fact that, by stereotyping standards, Favreau and Vietor are more conventionally gay-seeming than he is (campy, pop-cultural reference-laden humor aside).
As a 61 year old womyn, that by chance found your TH-cam videos, I am loving what you all do. I love that you all have passion. It is so great to see youth doing things they LOVE. I love that mixture of personalities and interests and gifts. This adds so much interest and energy. The mixture of intellect and humour adds a space to remind us that, even in serious times, humour brings hope and relief. Your friendship shines through all this, reminding people that relationships matter, individuation is a dead end street. The content is based on education and information that adds good quality points that keep us moving in a good direction. Thanks . Love & Light
Lads, I sobbed here in Ireland with relief all day Saturday on and off. I am so, so happy for you all. I wish I could see a video of you all of when you finally found out. I'm not sure how long ago I found your videos but they have given me hope and comfort. I had already decided that I was going to have to go cold turkey on all American news and entertainment if he won again. I couldn't cope with hearing his voice, his name, his terrifying rhetoric and lies for another four years. I knew my mental health couldn't cope. I would have missed you all terribly! So glad I don't have to do that now. 😊 P.S. I am missing Dan.
Actually, Paris' church bells had nothing to do with Biden winning the election, it was just a coincidence. www.snopes.com/fact-check/bells-in-paris-biden/
So happy to see you guys on the other side!...and my parrot is busy trying to pick at Lovett's bird nest,,,she's thrilled too! Now we need two things: BOTH Georgian Senate seats AND a tough as nails new Attorney General who will investigate and dispense justice for the criminal activity of the Trump era. Let's retire the number 45, remove it from sports and building floors. Let 45 become the new "13".
The flood of emotion hit on friday morning... I woke up about 5:15 (pacific time), and Georgia had flipped. As I ate breakfast and packed my lunch, Pennsylvania flipped. I got in my truck, and headed to work... a 2 or 3 miles after getting on I-5, a live version of "The Star Spangled Banner" sung by Marvin Gaye came on the radio. I drove with tears streaming down my face.
Trump finally got his crowd size, from sea to shining sea! Of course it's to signal the first stage of our liberation from him, but okay. A lot of us are just squinting at a daylight we have not seen in 4 years. On to Georgia!
Congrats on the first step of returning to Humanity. I am a PSA Listener since the very first Episode. Nice to see true Happyness in all your Faces. Greetings and much Love from Germany (I dont work in a blade Factory) Please tell Akilah i love her wonderful laughter,in a not creepy Way.
Yeah, Jon, that's what I have been saying. The fact that VP Harris is a woman, a Black woman...wasn't like "a thing." So great. I'm sure some people were hung up on that but it was like "Ok, this person is running & is qualified." That's it.
Howzit guys, congratulations to you all with your contribution and achievement! Be on the other end of the world, we are just as relieved as you all are, trust me. I laughed at all the late night guys, everyone is at peace, you can actually see the tension is gone along with the persistent noise. Be safe, see some or all of you at the WH. Take care, PE, RSA

In that I felt everyone around me was a Trump supporter, but I did it, ha!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

If you felt intimidation you should write up your experience and send it to Biden's legal team.
You go Lady Liberty! ❤

don't forget how the church bells were ringing in Paris for Biden
not seeing that as significant in any way
I swear they rang here in Germany too soon after the results came out. We were all at the edge of our seats stress eating American candy and staying up until 3 to check the results. Still have some hope for the senate, but it is definitely sweet that Trump is gone.

English is mandatory in a fully Spanish speaking country. The abuses of land ownership and profiteering on all levels has been staggering. Everything in Puerto Rico is around 40% more expensive than necessary because all imports are forced to be transferred to US flagged vessels in US ports before being shipped on to Puerto Rico. That abuse is a huge cash windfall for US shipping companies. With that extra money alone available to Puerto Rico, independence becomes viable.
Thus far Puerto Rico has clung to an intermediate status, Commonwealth, which is halfway between Statehood and Independence. It is hard for many here to realize, but Statehood would be a disaster. It would spell the death of Puerto Rican Culture.
Lovett, you made me cry! I live in Southern California & hearing you describe the victory from a state that has been pissed on by the guy in charge, was so cathartic & restored a brevity in my world. A huge shot in the hope vein. Thank you for keeping hope alive everyday. 🙏🏽💞🤩👏
POD Saves my sanity once again 😅 Thank You Gentlemen
I was soo depressed on Tuesday night didn’t sleep for a minute, Wednesday gave me a glimpse of hope I slept better, by Saturday I was at driving and heard cnn declared Biden Harris victory. I turned around and wanted to be home soo quickly I wanted to watch the whole thing unfolding it was very satisfying.
Rhat sounded so wonderful!
What a FANTASTIC weekend!
Thanks guys for helping me get thru the past 4 years 💙🇺🇸
Yes! I had the same reaction as Lovett and it took me a second to realize what had happened and what an amazing peaceful feeling it was! I just happened to glance at yet another idiotic violent comment from Trump and I didn’t even pause to read more, it (he) just suddenly seemed so irrelevant :) What a feeling! 😍
Take a shot everytime Lovet says "that's all" 😅
Love from the United Kingdom guys! Well Done, sanity won!
BIDEN BROUGHT IT HOME. HE ACTUALLY BROUGHT IT HOME. WHAT A LEGEND!
Brought it home in his basement? I'm tired of reading these ridiculous uninformed comments like yours, as of now biden won shit. No one will get to declare either sides victory until the Courts decide. Trump still has a very good chance of winning another 4 years. Stay dumbed down with these crazy videos.
Lollllll stay pressed!!!!
I believe it would be more appropriate to say that 75 million Americans brought it home. For the majority of us Biden was just the bus driver.
@@dickdomain719 I think you're being a dick but you're technically correct. I don't think we'll ever see another election where the projected loser concedes. They'll all be litigated from now on.
@@dickdomain719 I agree. The results aren't official until certified by Congress in December. Being called president-elect is a really more of a norm in a country where being called one after election night is primarily about investing legitimacy in the eventual peaceful transfer of power. It's so that the public gets used to the changes coming. Not gonna get into the GSA formalities but that's the primary goal - legitimacy.
But the numbers just aren't there for Trump to catch up in the states where he needs to catch up. Every day Biden's lead increases in WI, PA, MI, and GA. Look, I felt the same when Hillary lost and could've easily demanded recount after recount and court filing after court filing, but the numbers just weren't there for her either. So she lost. And Trump was deemed president-elect by the media that night and the public even before Congress made it official. Regardless of what the "not my president" protesters said then. And with smaller margins than Biden now. Trump won MI, WI, PA by around 70,000. Biden's winning them by 160,000 and counting. But Trump legitimately got the votes to reach 270, so has Biden now. Hope we can agree on that.
Thank you guys for everything you've done over the past four years. This Pod + Stacey Abrams = victory!
Georgia! Georgia! Georgia!
I feel ya.. of all the days i was unprofessionally checking my phone for election news i missed the time they call it🤦🤣
me, too! day and night endlessly refreshing and then forced myself outside and do some cooking and missed the moment! whooped it up in my sadly quiet neighborhood of hiding Trumpers. Had to go drive through downtown to see the tribe.
can we just acknowledge that Lovett referred to the greatest nerd movie, The American President, when he said “the people drink the sand.” as a fellow polisci nerd-i felt this in my soul. ❤️❤️❤️
It felt like the celebrations at the end of WWII...
Except Hitler and Mussolini were dead and the Germans (most) were ready to put down their weapons. I feel like we're still at war and I know the Trump supporters think we are. This feels more like the Korean war to me. A stalemate but we saved half the nation.
I wanted to slap myself in the face when I missed it. After refreshing my phone every 5 seconds and sleeping with the news on, my brother called me to say that we had won. In my dorm, a bunch of people ran out of their rooms screaming that we had won a few minutes later! It still hasn't sunk in. I catch myself crying every once in a while! 💙
I'm in Indonesia and because I'm one of only a few Americans here it feels surreal. I feel I'm not seeing what you guys are seeing. I think you're ignoring the fact that many of the counties that gave Biden a victory were very close and are under attack. The election isn't over for Trump's supporters. I understand that everyone needs to believe this is real but I'm going to need something real before I can relax. Someone commented that a glitch in one Michigan county had been cured and the 3000 vote Biden lead was flipped to a 2500 Trump lead. Yes, it would take 50 other counties to flip the lead in Michigan but in Georgia and other states it wouldn't take much at all to give Trump the lead. We need to stay focused until the election is confirmed in December. This is too important to dance in the one yard line and that's exactly what I'm seeing.
It's at times like these when I am proud to be an American
Come on you can do better than that! Try this:
The 5 time bankrupt, impeached, soon to be former president.
Trump!
(Impeached, infected, ejected!)
Lol!
Fun Fact: Trump is the only president in U.S. History to be impeached, lose the popular vote, _and_ be denied a second term.
His businesses went bankrupt 6 times.
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS PODCAST! I’m finally sleeping and have stopped crying (tears of joy) Thank you for all you do, I look forward to the next drop💙💙💙💙💙💙
I think this is the first time I've seen Tommy look truly blissfully happy.
So happy! trump is our past no matter what he does.🤩🇺🇸👍
I am unreasonably excited to see who the cabinet picks are!
Same!!! This new cabinet is like the Avengers team for me! So excited to hear what powerhouse of people they can put together.
15 minutes in, I’m crying...
I’m Australian, but I’m way too invested in US politics and well-being.
I was so (tentatively) relieved, as everyone else paying close attention.
This podcast though, the message conveyed, the shared relief articulated...
the eyelash in my eye.
All leads to a flood of tears that won’t stop.
Phew.
I hope you're paying as much attention to Australien politics. I've been just as shocked at how far right Australia is headed on many issues. But hopefully soon everyone everywhere can stop the global march to fascism.
@@pakde8002 we’ve just had a state election here in Queensland: fortunately the Labor party won.
One Nation party is a pebble in our shoe. But, there are up and coming smaller parties that hopefully die in the sun: Clive Palmer’s UAP and Katter They’re embarrassing and frightening. They’re the racist misogynists of old. We too are a painfully racist country.
But I think of Egg-boy. Bless his cotton socks. And I keep the faith.
As a fellow Australian, I was also knuckle biting on the outcome of this election. I am so relieved that the USA has elected a party that takes climate change seriously and personally loathe '45 (who's name shall never be spoken again). We need to also look at the parties that represent all of the people and our environment effectively and call them out when they fail to do so. I look forward to seeing this Biden Presidency kick some goals for the future of our planet. Thanks Crooked Media for making sense in a time of nonsense.
I am starting to tear up just reading the words of support worldwide, thank you!
Kamala's speech brought me to tears, I can't even lie.
Ditto my daughters may javw a chance to see REAL change in THEIR lifetime
Same...she's my senator or she was 🙂
Same!
This podcast is one of the most thought provoking, informative and/ yet entertaining peices of information I regularly listen to! These guys are fantastic and reassure me that smart talented people work in the government
If they had actual evidence, they would submit the legal complaints and not go into detail. But they want to spread any baseless claim they can because they know some will stick in their supporters minds.
It's so amazing to have tears of joy
RIGHT?!? First time in months that something related to our government brought me tears of joy instead of tears of sadness
Someone, anyone, please make a gif or meme of the Back To The Future picture of trump fading out that Lovett mentioned!!🙏 please!
It broke my heart when that blob would humiliate the press at press meetings. The ridiculed pick of his acrimonious comments just kept on and ignored it. Class. Nothing he recognizes. Out with his trash!
We have lots of crooked media bots!
(Putin cried, his puppet lost!)
Lol!
The blob. Perfect. 👍🏻
Already donated to Jon Ossoff's campaign and will donate to Raphael Warnock's efforts as well. We NEED these two to come through for the senate in order for Biden's agenda to get as much through as possible in the next two years. Otherwise it's going to be a struggle to get anything past that monolith of a grim reaper in the senate.
Same, as well as Fair Fight because boy, did they earn it!!!
I donated to both campaigns on Sunday. We have to make this happen for Biden and Harris, for us.
@@sedonasky7314 Yes, for all of us.
thank you
Absolutely
Um, excuse me? $50k of student loan debt forgiveness? What? Seriously? DON'T PLAY WITH MY EMOTIONS LIKE THIS!!! 😲
Are we overreacting? I don’t understand the psyche of the nation right now. Trump is so stunningly bad for America. How is half the country still buying it?
YES! We are having "A spell has been broken moment"! Well stated. Thanks so much you guys.
Love You Guys!!!
Can I adopt you?
So Happy! Thanks So Much!
I went to brunch with my friend the day it was called that Biden won. Literally right before she pulled up to my place MSNBC called it and I texted her that Biden won and we both freaked out. The whole time we were at brunch, we sat outside, there were cars honking as they drove by and then when we left and were driving around, more cars were honking and people yelling for joy. I was only 22 at the time, 24 now, and I have never ever seen anything like that before. What a time to be alive. I’ll never forget it.
I was just at your site and donated already.
Georgia is everything right now. "Georgia".
" Georgia On My Mind."
I teared up with Kamala's speech 💕 ☀ 🌈
I watched with my two young daughters, and I cried.
I loved how there was no negativity in Joe's speech. There was hope in his message, and I think that's what everyone needs right now.
The ending about spreading the faith was FANTASTIC!
@@debbiedoodiedandi yes! That was a fantastic ending.
Just the feeling of having a classy, well spoken adult in that office again. No more BS via early morning tweet.
My favorite part of Biden’s speech was: “Tonight, the whole world is watching. I believe at our best, America is a beacon for the globe. And we lead not by the example of our power, but by the power of our example.”. My disappointment was that he didn’t thank the Postal Workers. What they’ve been through...geesh.
call Fiona Hill. She knows how to deal w/ the R Gulianis n gop types
YESSSSSSS!
Or Glenn Kirschner. See his great YT channel where he explains the law for non-lawyers and exposes the Trump administration criminals.
It was the longest Tuesday of my entire life. I'm so happy with the result and just relieved Trump's presidency will be finally coming to an end.
I'm trying to figure out how to contact someone who can hook me up to do in-person GotV and registration and maybe working the polls in GA. I filled out a form at Fair Fight; any other recommendations? I'm in Maine, but I can take the time off and head down there for the next month or two.
I imagine if you contact the senate candidates’ campaigns they’ll be able to point you in some sort of a direction. That’s super cool that you’re willing to travel that far to help out, mad respect ❤️
@@mrsb50 Oh, of course! Duh.
Good on you!
"in that case the fascists did surrender"
Woah
always amazes me how many people don't know how to spell whoa
He’s really quick witted isn’t he!
@@kylielawrence1283
shut up bot!
As usual, great video. You guys are my political brothers.
But now we fight to keep Biden/Harris to their word. It's easy to say something, but hard to make it real. Let's keep things moving Left
Neil Katyal for Attorney General - Pass it on.
Or Preet Bharara, or Glenn Kirschner - lots of excellent candidates.
But they need to have one essential qualification - a commitment to pursue justice against lawbreakers in the prior regime, and not just a willingness to “move on” and let bygones be bygones.
@@andrewmastin4312 I don't think any of those three would have the slightest hesitation to do exactly what you're asking for.
RIGHT ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I cheer for “team manager” Biden and “head coach” Harris to field a team of superstars. There is so much work to do. Blue wave continues 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊
Blue wave? Where's our blue wave? We barely won and Trump isn't conceding. The GAO has not approved funds for transition. I thought that was a non partisan office? Wtf?
@@pakde8002 There are no 'non-partisan' offices - Trump has gotten rid of any honest person and filled all the positions with his own loyal toadies.
It’s so great to hear from you guys post confirmation Stay blessed! Love from London
PA/GA!!!
Can’t wait to Adopt Georgia!!!!
Lovett's crack about the dildo store cracked me up -- as does that the fact that, by stereotyping standards, Favreau and Vietor are more conventionally gay-seeming than he is (campy, pop-cultural reference-laden humor aside).
"Incredible sense of relief" we all felt it!
As a 61 year old womyn, that by chance found your TH-cam videos, I am loving what you all do. I love that you all have passion. It is so great to see youth doing things they LOVE. I love that mixture of personalities and interests and gifts. This adds so much interest and energy. The mixture of intellect and humour adds a space to remind us that, even in serious times, humour brings hope and relief. Your friendship shines through all this, reminding people that relationships matter, individuation is a dead end street. The content is based on education and information that adds good quality points that keep us moving in a good direction. Thanks . Love & Light
Thanks, Lauretta!
Great job fellas.
Great job guys. ❤️💕❤️💕🎈You taught me a lot over these months of insanity.
Lads, I sobbed here in Ireland with relief all day Saturday on and off. I am so, so happy for you all. I wish I could see a video of you all of when you finally found out. I'm not sure how long ago I found your videos but they have given me hope and comfort. I had already decided that I was going to have to go cold turkey on all American news and entertainment if he won again. I couldn't cope with hearing his voice, his name, his terrifying rhetoric and lies for another four years. I knew my mental health couldn't cope. I would have missed you all terribly! So glad I don't have to do that now. 😊
P.S. I am missing Dan.
Church bells in Paris, Fireworks in London and party's in the USA streets....during a pandemic.....
Actually, Paris' church bells had nothing to do with Biden winning the election, it was just a coincidence.

So happy to see you guys on the other side!...and my parrot is busy trying to pick at Lovett's bird nest,,,she's thrilled too! Now we need two things: BOTH Georgian Senate seats AND a tough as nails new Attorney General who will investigate and dispense justice for the criminal activity of the Trump era. Let's retire the number 45, remove it from sports and building floors. Let 45 become the new "13".
Awww, I love the Dennis the Menace reference. LOL!!
The flood of emotion hit on friday morning... I woke up about 5:15 (pacific time), and Georgia had flipped. As I ate breakfast and packed my lunch, Pennsylvania flipped. I got in my truck, and headed to work... a 2 or 3 miles after getting on I-5, a live version of "The Star Spangled Banner" sung by Marvin Gaye came on the radio. I drove with tears streaming down my face.
Lovett relates everything back to scenes from movies and TV. Same.
I feel seen and I am here for it. 💖
Trump finally got his crowd size, from sea to shining sea! Of course it's to signal the first stage of our liberation from him, but okay. A lot of us are just squinting at a daylight we have not seen in 4 years. On to Georgia!
"What comes next? You've been freed. Do you know how hard it is to lead?..."
Congrats on the first step of returning to Humanity.
I am a PSA Listener since the very first Episode.
Nice to see true Happyness in all your Faces.
Greetings and much Love from Germany (I dont work in a blade Factory)
Please tell Akilah i love her wonderful laughter,in a not creepy Way.
Yeah, Jon, that's what I have been saying. The fact that VP Harris is a woman, a Black woman...wasn't like "a thing." So great. I'm sure some people were hung up on that but it was like "Ok, this person is running & is qualified." That's it.
Yes a great historic moment, taken in stride..... i love it!
I want interest ended on student loans. That is what is killing us, no way to get ahead!
Counting on the GOP growing a spine is a losing proposition if the last five years are any indication
The White House on January 20, 2021 is basically going to look like the ending of Scarface.
Thanks, "...tiger right behind you!" actually made me jump. How much coffee is too much?
Is Lovett glowing or is it just me?
Lovett's definitely glowing
I appreciate you guys so much.
And we appreciate you! :)
Howzit guys, congratulations to you all with your contribution and achievement! Be on the other end of the world, we are just as relieved as you all are, trust me. I laughed at all the late night guys, everyone is at peace, you can actually see the tension is gone along with the persistent noise. Be safe, see some or all of you at the WH. Take care, PE, RSA
I dunno about all these Republicans suddenly getting the 'Rona. Could "Sorry, I'm positive and need to quarantine" be the new "New phone, who dis?"
Lmao! You might be right
