Don't buy the movies "#f1" or "#greenland" on #4kuhd if you're not bought into Apple TV.

Unlike EVERY other publisher, the discs for these movies come bundled with digital movie codes that ONLY work with #appletv.

Not "MoviesAnywhere".
Not "Fandango at Home".

Watch Senator Schumer’s explanation of Trump's shutdown of the Federal government. Plain spoken, Chuck gets out of the Capitol & makes the issue about YOU, the voter.

Overamplifying the audio track of streaming ads was one of the more nefarious (& annoying) ways to grab viewer's attention.

I guess now they'll simply have to rely on creating a good ad & a good product. 🙄

The horror I have for the delight & passion that #trump & #maga have in freely assaulting American citizens...

...is only eclipsed by the complete lack of justice & accountability applied to these crimes against humanity.

Now Mike Johnson is refusing to swear in Arizona congresswoman elect, Adelita Grijalva (D), because she could unblock the release of the files.

Any fool that believes Trump when he says the Democrats are shutting down the government... take it from Fat Putin himself:

Trump: “If we don’t get what we want, I will shut down the govt.”

The overwhelming immoral & criminal activity happening without consequence from the White House has been happening for 9 months now.

The Supreme Court was bought & Congress failed us. The only power we have is to VOTE.

Don't let them numb you. Never, ever get used to this injustice.
