It was very easy. It just comes down to having an Amazon account and a streaming service. Type in passwords with the little FireTV controller (that hardest part of the process) and it was on and working.

DirecTV Now has some issues, but it has gotten better since I’ve had it about 4 months now. When it works 100% it is very good. Sometime you get 80% and frustrated. But that isn’t happening as frequently.

Strange thing…NBC related properties seem to be their biggest problem network to stream. For some time people all over the country were throwing a fit about not getting MSNBC.

Public Service Comment: If you type in the name of a service provider into Google followed by the word ‘down’ you will get a link to downdetector. com and you can see how many others are suffering and what they are saying. It even maps the area of the country/world affected.

Shared anger as it were. I learned that with ATT Yahoo Email Down. It was a sure way to know it wasn’t my connection. One thing about digital and the ‘net. If you are having a problem others will be too.

I have a Firestick (bought it before they even came out—sounded like something I HAD to HAVE)—never used it till a few weeks ago when my BlueRay, which I use to stream, borked. But the BlueRay is working again. But now I have to hook up the FireTV—such fucking first-world problems!

Anyway, to spare you watching Tweetie screaming, here’s a synopsis.

“What is the best argument Democrats would have for picking off [Republicans],” Kornachi asked about the GOP’s 51-seat majority.

Matthews said that the only argument or best tactic was survival of the Democratic Party, something the GOP members probably aren’t likely to be interested in…

“But what is the tool? What is the instrument?” Kornacki tried to ask again. “I understand what you are saying about the base being fired up. “

“It’s Chuck Schumer’s job!” Matthews screamed, seeing irritated.

Kornacki kept trying to ask the question every way he could, and no matter what, Matthews went off and ranted about his own talking points, regardless of the question.
