Does Michael Moore work for Trump?
Oct 28th, 2016 at 8:24am
 
For eons the darling of the American left, will it be revealed that he is on the Trump payroll?

It's over a year now he has been warning that Trumpcould be elected. His warnings have allegedly been aimed at getting Dems off their butts and voting to stop him.
And he recently released a movie, again supposed to be warning of rthe danger of Trump.

But he now admits to "freaking out' that his messages may in fact have unintentionally helped Trump.

Methinks he doth protest too much.

It's a matter of pride for Michael Moore now. He watched Trump storm through the primaries and predicted a massive Trump win in the election. He's simply backing his prediction.

And yes, some of Moore's analysis has helped Trump. Moore's pitch since the late 90s has been the failure of US capitalism and the slow death of rust-belt towns like Flint Michigan, where he grew up.

Michael Moore sees Trump as a symptom of the decline of the US, not a solution. But by identifying the social problems that Trump has capitalized on, Michael Moore has fueled the Trump campaign.

With Sanders, there was some hope of a solution to these problems, but there's no longer much faith in the political process. If Obama couldn't do it, who can?

The Clintons are definitely part of the neoliberal economic system that has led to the decline of the US. Trump's a property developer. The only thing he's been a part of is funding Hillary's various campaigns.

Neither will be able to implement the change the US needs to see. The office of president is not that powerful, particularly with an obstructionist congress and senate.

At the very least, Hillary knows how the system works and what she can achieve. She has learned from her mistakes and cut her political teeth on issues like universal health care. She may well not be able to raise the national minimum wage, solve the massive household debt level, and fix Obamacare, funds that mainly go into the pockets of the health insurance companies. She may not be able to solve the national debt. She may not be able to solve international issues like the economic and military rise of China and Russia, or even problems within NATO.

But as a seasoned political expert, she is far more equipped to deal with these issues than Trump. The best Trump's followers can come up with is well, at least Trump might shake things up a bit.

The US does not need shaking up, it needs solutions to its domestic and international problems and a bi-partisan, interagency agreement to work on them.

Conservative radio host Sean Hannity heaped some rare praise on liberal filmmaker Michael Moore Wednesday, acknowledging the “Michael Moore in TrumpLand” filmmaker for his recent take on Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.

“Michael More gets it in this sense — our country is screwing people,” Hannity said Wednesday on his eponymous radio show. “Our government has screwed you.”

In a promotional clip for his movie  “Michael Moore in TrumpLand” released this week, Moore explains Trump voters as the “beaten-down, nameless, forgotten working stiff who used to be part of what was called the middle class” who are “hurting.”

“So on November 8th, the dispossessed will walk into the voting booth, be handed a ballot, close the curtain and take that lever, or felt pen, or touch screen and put a big smacking 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,” Moore says in the clip.

Hannity has screwed you. He's been the propaganda for everything that's screwed Americans for years. He supported the invasion of Iraq. He's against health care. He's against any regulation of the high-powered assault rifles that have been used to kill innocent civilians.

We have the sort of safe, supported society we have because we don't have people like Hannity standing in the way of policies that help people. We have basic minimum wages, a good social safety-net, and universal health care. We have none of the mass shootings or the gun-murder rate of the US. Okay, we joined the US in Iraq, but we didn't commit the troops the US did, and we looked after them when they returned.

Every Australian soldier's death in Iraq (about 4) was national news in Australia. In the US, this news was banned.

The US does not look after its citizens, and Hannity is the PR mouthpiece for those who do the screwing.

Another mindless thread...

Was listening to Mike Moore having a laugh over the fact that Trump called him to thank him for his latest movie 'Michael Moore in Trumpland'...

Moore speculated that the idiot hadn't watched the movie but had only responded to the movie's name...

The world once used to laugh at the gormless Dan Quayle and the mindless George Bush... Trump would have to be the must stupid of presidential candidates at least in living memory and more likely in the last 100+ years.
