Whether Trump means it or not, it’s kind of irrelevant because he’s saying the things that people who are hurting. And it’s why every beaten down, nameless, forgotten working stiff who used to be part of what was called the middle-class loves Trump.

He is the human Molotov cocktail that they have been waiting for. The human hand grenade that they can legally throw into the system that stole their lives from them. And on November 8th — Election Day — although they have lost their jobs. Although they’ve been foreclosed on by the bank. Next came the divorce and now the wife and kids are gone. The car’s been repossessed. They haven’t had a real vacation in years. They’re stuck with the shitty Obamacare bronze plan. They can’t even get a f**king percocet.--------------------Amazing video!

And there is more of the former middle-class than there are in the millionaire class. So, on November 8th, the dispossessed will walk into the voting booth, be handed a ballot, close the curtain, take that lever — or felt pen or touchscreen — and put a big f**king X in the box by the name of the man who has threatened to upend and overturn the very system that has ruined their lives: Donald J. Trump.-----------------Amen!

It is an amazing portion of his movie....However, beware.
I saw Trumpland on YouTube last night to see the rest of it (h/t Chode for the link)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1EnRLZ3p4o
....it is extremely anti-Trump.

Utilize the snippet - but be cautious of the rest of it.

It bothers me people are excited by this bit of comment from Moore. Yes it sounds great for Trump but Moore’s heart and vote are not in sync with it, so anyone excitedly thinking Moore has seen the light or this helps Trump is sorely mistaken - It’s just some of Moore’s words taken out of full context. Same thing FRs don’t like when Dems do to Trump or others we like.

YALL SEEN THIS? YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH IT!

NBC, Chuck Todd Hide Wife’s Kaine Donation, and Her Firm Getting Millions from Bernie Campaign
By Tim Graham | October 26, 2016 | 9:57 AM EDT
Share it
Tweet it
NBC Meet the Press host Chuck Todd has a wife who’s active in Democratic Party strategic communications, and sometimes donates to Democrats. In 2012, Kristian Denny Todd contributed $2,500 to Sen. Tim Kaine. Todd never felt any need to disclose this during his three recent Kaine interviews on NBC (August 7, September 18, and October 23).
But Maverick Mail & Strategies, the firm Mrs. Todd founded in 2007 with fellow James Webb aides Steve Jarding and Jessica Vanden Berg, did heavy lifting for openly socialist Bernie Sanders for President this year. Open Secrets shows a bill for $1.992 million made in ten payments to Maverick from January to April. Todd has never disclosed this business relationship in 11 Sanders interviews this year. (If the work began in 2015 before the payments, Todd failed to disclose any tie in six Sanders interviews in the second half of 2015). We didn’t even count any Todd interviews with Sanders on MSNBC.
This isn’t meant to suggest Todd’s interviews have gone soft on Sanders, or at least softer than he was with Hillary Clinton. (Although there was this May 29 Meet the Press introduction: “This morning, my interview with the only candidate still viewed favorably by the voters, Bernie Sanders.”) It simply means there’s a significant conflict of interest that Todd and NBC News have never found necessary to mention. Transparency isn’t really in their interests here. 
 
<<< Please consider helping NewsBusters financially with your tax-deductible contribution today >>>

 
NBC and Todd would not go on the record in response to my requests about this information on the public record.
Nevertheless, Todd on Sunday mocked the idea that political reporters were too close to the Democrats, despite the report that WikiLeaks included the fact that Mr. and Mrs. Todd hosted a dinner party in 2015 honoring Clinton communications director Jennifer Palmieri.
Todd has made disclosures on other Maverick matters. On October 5, 2014, Todd interviewed former Sen. Jim Webb as a potential presidential candidate. He said Webb was “a successful author and screenwriter and has written eight books over the years. And I do want to mention that my wife helped Jim Webb in his 2006 Senate campaign.” Months later, Mrs. Todd was traveling with the short-lived 2016 presidential candidate as an aide.
On January 4, 2015, The Washington Post reported an interview Todd did that included Muriel Bowser, the Democratic mayor of the nation’s capital:
Early on in the seven-minute Meet the Press interview that followed, Todd paused to note that his wife, Kristian Denny Todd, worked for Bowser’s campaign.
“Full disclosure, my wife worked as a paid adviser to Muriel Bowser’s mayoral campaign in 2014,” Todd said.
Denny Todd’s name does not appear separately on Bowser’s campaign finance reports, but Maverick Strategies and Mail LLC, a firm she founded and where she was formerly a principal, was paid more than $634,000 last year by Bowser’s campaign.
Other Sunday-show participants have made disclosures over the years. George Will has disclosed on air at ABC (and later at Fox) his wife Mari Maseng’s work with Michelle Bachmann in 2011 and Scott Walker in 2015. On Fox, Nina Easton mentioned in the last two election cycles that her husband Russ Schriefer worked for McCain and Mitt Romney.
How would liberals feel if Fox News insisted its pundits refuse to disclose their spouse’s professional ties to a presidential candidate? NBC News bosses should have made Todd disclose this business relationship and let someone else do Sanders interviews. They knew it would look bad if their newly minted Meet the Press moderator — covering his first presidential campaign in that powerful chair — had to step back from interviewing Sanders or Kaine.
Instead, NBC looks like they’d rather just hide these lucrative family ties to Democratic campaigns. They obviously hoped no one would dig this up. But we did.

Moore appears to be in the middle of his epiphany.

Trump has articulated what Moore tried to, a quarter century ago, in his “Roger and Me” bag of lies and half-truths.

If we left it to some of the geniuses here, it would have been ignored because some were so sure that it was “fake” and a trick, or that they rather keep a stick lodged up their rear about the guy rather than spreading around the only sane thing he has likely ever said, at the best time to have ever said it!

Moore is demonstrated that he understands what’s going on in this election, which is beyond most “progressives.”

He is warning the progressives, far from advocating Trump.

Most folks who are voting for Trump already understand where their frustration with government comes from.

I doubt it will have much impact if this goes viral.

Here’s the rest of that video. His next words are “for a day, for a week”.

https://youtu.be/q1EnRLZ3p4o?t=1532

Moore goes on to utterly mock brexit, brexit supporters, Trump, and Trump supporters. He very clearly thinks we are all idiots. He’s an elitist, therefore he acts like his opinion is superior and automatically interchangeable with absolute objective fact. The audience doesn’t seem to realize they are being played.

Moore doesn’t believe for a second the reasons people are voting for Trump are coherent and rational. That fact is the fatal flaw hidden in what he’s saying.

Moore has 100% scorn and disrespect for why we are voting for Trump. That’s evidenced by his description of us - legal terrorists. In other words what Trump will do to the US is legal terrorism and Trump supporters by default are supporting legal terrorism.

Moore holds ZERO respect for Trump supporters, Trump, and Trump’s policy positions.

“They’re not racists or rednecks, they’re actually pretty decent people."

And just what is wrong with being a redneck? A redneck is simply a poor white person who has to work outdoors under the sun for a living . . . nothing more, nothing less. And notice Moore makes a distinction between "racists" and "rednecks," as if being a redneck in itself, even without racism, were some sort of shame!

I don’t trust Moore any farther than I can throw him. However, there are a certain percentage of liberals who aren’t going along with Hillary’s and Obama’s unholy alliance with crony capitalists.

Moore wants more people to watch his movies.

He is trying to de-alienate the tons of potential viewers who find him repulsive and irrelevant.

This clip has been on my Facebook page for the past 16 hours. Folks on FB are not going to watch the whole movie. 2 lines of text, and short clips, that’s all they ever look at. The rest of the movie sucks, but who cares. Few will ever watch it.

I was ready to blast Moore, like I would that sniveling POS Maher, but I listened.
What he said was true, and perhaps it would help. He’s more or less simply stating the obvious. But if it helps get people out to vote for trump, good.
I still don’t think much of him but he told the truth.
