As they say in Turkey : "When a clown moves into a palace, he doesn't become a king. The palace turns into a circus.".

"I don't really care why she lost, I care why he won" - THANK YOU. This is the only issue I see. How in the F can anyone even consider him as an option? I don't understand how so many people are so ignorant to the world they live in.

[jamesmathews]

I so appreciate Desi not giving us the whole "stay hopeful" song and dance and just admitting how a lot of Americans feel right now

[IggyBing]

It may be comedy but they nailed it on how ridiculous the 'blame game' is and how 'why he won' is the more important question.

[mikethomas]

We all lost. Some just don't know it yet.

As a Russian, I am just shocked. We’ve had our own dictator here for decades and there’s no chance to get rid of him ‘cause we have no democracy. But you, America, you do have democracy, and you choose a dictator. Moreover, for the second time! If I am so brokenhearted, I cant imagine how devastated American Democrats are😢

[emmaevans]

Time to remove that box from job applications that ask if you have a felony conviction - it obviously means nothing anymore!

As soon as Ronnie said reach for your heart I KNEW he was gonna pull out a passport. 😂

I'm from Italy....depressed, speechless, astonished as you are. I don't understand how this is possible

[jasonmcelroy]

Thank you folks so much for this. I haven't spoken to an adult (with the exception of my wife) since the _verdict._ I'm a 41 y/o retired/disabled veteran, with 3 daughters, and in a DEEP red state. It is reassuring to find laughter and peace in part of my nightly routine before I go to bed in the late night shows that I discovered during covid lockdown. You guys are part of my family. I sincerely mean that.

[lofilipeta]

I feel bad for Desi. All the time, her eyes had that glint of someone holding back tears. You are strong, you are amazing.

[stephaniejamison]

I’ve been avoiding news all day, but when I saw Desi I knew I HAD to watch this. Thank you for putting into words how half of America (and more around the world!) feel right now.

[yuen-lichan]

Hey Ronnie. Fellow Malaysian here. I don't know whether to laugh or cry that we jailed our felonious Prime Minister whereas America re-elected theirs. Sad day for the world.

[josvandencamp]

Love your show, Desi. Warm regards from the Netherlands.

[Carlospjr]

In 2016 I was devastated, now in 2024 I’m demoralized and depressed. I can’t watch the news, but I love Desi, Jordan and this show, I needed a laugh.

[Resonait]

Desi’s eyes… seeing the heartbreak in her face makes me feel like I am not alone in how I feel.

[maddiek]

Watching from New Zealand, we all knew this would be the outcome, but it’s still disappointing.
Tens of millions of Americans showed their true colours, that notions of the ‘economy’ come before basic human decency.
Americans vote based on soundbites and lies, not on actual knowledge. They’re a socially and politically immature society and it shows.

[Poemi]

Funny how The Felon can do no wrong, but the female is accused of doing everything wrong.

[slimjim]

You can hold office off the president with several felony convictions but can't get a normal job with one felony conviction, somethings terribly wrong with the fairness of punishment
