Michael Moore: We Have to ‘Put Our Bodies on the Line’ to Stop Trump
Daily Beast ^ | June 29, 2018 | Matt Wilstein

Posted on 06/29/2018 6:44:34 AM PDT by EdnaMode

In 2004, Michael Moore released his documentary Fahrenheit 9/11 about the run-up to the Iraq War. This September, he will premiere his latest film: Fahrenheit 11/9.

As the liberal filmmaker told Stephen Colbert on The Late Show Thursday night, that date represents the night Donald Trump was elected president. “This is about how the hell we got in this situation and how we’re going to get out of it,” he said.

After playing a clip from the film in which he tries to infiltrate Mar-a-Lago, Colbert asked him if he was “civil” to the people there. “I was as civil as any Eagle Scout Catholic altar boy could be when confronted with the devil,” Moore answered.

Speaking to the great civility debate happening in America right now, Moore continued, saying that Democrats have traditionally been “so wimpy and weak” but now “a few people want to stand up and say, I’ve had enough, that’s it.”

“We don’t have to be violent, we have to remain non-violent, but if the worst that happens to anybody in the Trump administration is that they don’t get to have a chicken dinner in Virginia, I mean, I don’t know,” he said. If it were just basic political differences, Moore said he would not be in favor of throwing Sarah Huckabee Sanders out of a restaurant.

“But that’s not what’s going on now,” he said. “We’re not talking about political differences. We’re talking about thousands of children being kidnapped and put in jails.”

Given how divided the nation seems to be at this moment, Colbert wondered what kind of “endgame” Moore had in mind. “Because you don’t want to end this in violence or any sort of really revolutionary confrontation, you want a political change at the end of this,” he assumed.

Wealthy socialists have already made their pile, like Bernie, another hypocrite.

That would just make it that much easier to live in luxury in one of those countries. But I suppose at many levels, the hypocrites would miss the first world amenities every time they left their secured compounds.

I noticed that too. I suppose they thought that this would flip the media into being figures of sympathy, but that’s not working either.

What a hypocrite. I doubt that he has crossed the entrance into any church for a long, long time. He is filled with hatred towards those he disagrees with politically.

Is it possible to get those big police car bumper guards at state auctions? I may be in the market for one.

he will premiere his latest film: Fahrenheit 11/9. . . . that date represents the night Donald Trump was elected president.

Uh, Mike, Trump was elected on 11/8, not 11/9.

“I was as civil as any Eagle Scout Catholic altar boy could be when confronted with the devil,” Moore answered

This is a very weak attempt to peel the Catholic vote away from Trump. I've noticed this xonspicuous self-identification before. . .usually from Colbert himself.

Someone joked that a Jackass TV contestant made an ill-fated decision for his stunt to be stationing himself between Michael Moore and a buffet table. Seriously injured.

If you’re on an elevator and Michael Moore gets on, no matter which buttons you push , it is going down.

Peter Griffin/Michael Moore probably needs to worry about his risk for sudden death due to a heart attack.

Poor fella look like a beached whale.

Considering the size and weight of Jabba the Slobba, they won’t need as many bodies as Jabba thinks; he takes up the space and weight of at least 100 people.

I’ve watched these bullies pretend to lead mob action, only to watch them melt into the background when things get hot.

They “lead” from their keyboard in the basement of their walled and guarded mansions. Neither this blob nor Mad Maxine will ever see the people they are inciting.
