HBO Max..

I had to change the provider for my cell service because my reception with Consumer Cellular has been HORRIBLE through out this entire pandemic. So, I switched to AT&T. Plus, I dropped my Android phone and the screen was cracked.....sooooo -I had to get a new cell (at Target) while changing providers....I won't get into what an ordeal this turned out to be...

I was told at the store I would have one year free of HBO Max. It turns out it's a week. Having said all of this, I have NO idea how to access this channel. Apparently, I can't access it on my Roku. I think I have a smart T.V. but it's not a new model. I've tried to call, email, etc. and I get nowhere.

Can anyone give me some input? (I have to back off from the news cycle every so often for my mental health).....Thanks....

Val Demings....

She's been one of my top choices ever since her name has been brought up as a possible running mate with Vice President Biden. I just saw her on The View and she's now my #1.

There's no link that I can post (probably too soon) of this specific appearance. Having said that, I encourage you guys to check her out if you haven't.

I'm trying to find out if President Obama, Michelle, and others are

giving a commencement ceremony online today? I may have gotten my dates wrong. Does anyone know if this is happening and if so, where I can find a thread? Thank you.....

Twitter suspends White Nationalist group posing as Antifa.. ..

https://www.cnet.com/news/twitter-suspends-account-white-nationalist-group-posing-as-antifa/

My roommate, who's a progressive but doesn't go further and misses words...I know that doesn't make sense.
Here's what happened. I walked into the kitchen and she's at her computer in the dining area where she spends a lot of time. She tells me, "Antifa is calling for violence." So immediately I ask to see what site she's on and it's AOL. We kind of read the headline together and she goes, "Oh, group posing as Antifa......Jesus, f'ing Christ! She kind of left out an important part of the headline.....

Anyway, I posted the story above.

Steve Schmidt will be on Stephanie Milller's Happy Hour

today. I don't know if you guys are able to access Stephanie's show but I don't have a problem at all.

You should just be able to go to her website:

stephaniemiller.com

Scroll down to the Happy Hour section and it should just come up.

I don't know exactly when the Happy Hours are recorded or posted but it'll be sometime this afternoon.

Right now Val Demings is on - she may be my top choice for the V.P. choice.

Below is an excellent interview and discussion with Lawrence Wright

He's a wonderful writer and journalist. Last year he wrote a book called The End of October. I haven't read it yet but I'm going to. It's prophetic. This is a great interview/conversation:

About Upthevibe

I've been a member of DU since the very beginning....after that horrible fiasco - the sElection of 2000. My first user name was Lindsey, then I changed it to Nirvana555, and now it's Upthevibe. I had devices crash and I ended up having to change my user name. I've never been one to make a whole lot of original posts, but I consider myself a very active member in that I come to DU almost every day and read the wonderfully informative threads. I can't imagine what life would have been like over the past two decades without DU!
