    I saw that shit on Disney plus.

    What, and I mean this will all my soul, the actual fuck?

    I don’t give a single wet shit who the president is, why in the chocolate covered fuck is a streaming media content platform pushing that shit? Really glad I never gave them any money, and the subscription we had always a friend’s.

      They also live streamed the debates, so this isn’t unusual for Disney. I think they have some live channels as well, so it probably falls under that portion of the service.
