1. yes Michael Moore

is spot on, but Trump keeps getting away with it...

Congress is the problem here... all the while Trump is having the time of his life while the U.S. is suffering...

[pangaia]

38. "Congress is the problem here."

That is it exactly !
Sure trump is a sick evil human being, a destroyer but....

It is republicans who must be held accountable at some point, jailed, voted out, whatever it takes.
And the entire country MUST KNOW have that beaten into their heads.

Not, 'whew trump was just mentally ill so it wasn't his fault.'

Because THEN, everybody just goes back to sleep and the repubs continue to destroy,,,

[Gothmog]

2. Moore is correct here

[onit2day]

22. Do a documentary on him to keep him focused on domestic problems so he doesn't start a war

[SunSeeker]

3. I will never get over the horror of this madman being President.

[Alice11111]

16. I've been shell shocked for over a year now.

[SunSeeker]

20. He's only been President 349 days, but it feels like a lifetime of horror.

[Alice11111]

25. Yeah, but he won in November 2016...or was it 2000.

I'm in a horrow movie time warp. The most exhausting political year ever. It was bad when Clinton got impeached, but this is worse.

[SunSeeker]

27. Yep, put a pall on two Christmases now.

[Alice11111]

28. Family tensions, starting Thanksgiving of 2016, even before,

the whole campaign season.

[SunSeeker]

29. Your house too, eh?

We've been fighting a lingering shock/anger/depression since Nov. 7, 2016. It really has sucked.

[Alice11111]

30. Yep, we try to avoid politics, but there are angry barbs

about other things, sublimation. We don't always avoid politics anyway.

[onit2day]

24. most of us have been

[leftstreet]

4. That says more about Congress than it does about Trump

5. Louise Mensch got it right too.

But, does Louise actually give up, or is the "bigger button" temptation too great?

8. Epic.

n/t.

[Scarsdale]

33. Same size as his

tiny, orange brain.

[LakeArenal]

6. Sad small button...

[calimary]

7. I keep playing that "what if" game - what if Hillary Clinton were behaving this way as President?

What do you think the GOP would be doing?

Probably building a gallows in the middle of the Washington Mall, from which to hang her by the neck, in public, for all their little deplorable and yahoo and dim-bulb fans to savor.

What do you think the GOP would be doing if it was President Obama pulling all this shit?

Probably some version of the same idea.

But because it's THEIR guy, they're gonna build their own wall to protect him.

[questionseverything]

10. all the repubs care about is trump has 5 working digits to sign their god awful bills

I remember when repubs had the vapors ovr Michelle wearing a sleeveless dress for heavens sake

[Alice11111]

17. !!!

[IronLionZion]

34. Yeah, but her emails

[peggysue2]

9. On this one, I give Michael Moore . . .

a major A bullseye, sir!

Not a Nixon, not anyone would get away with this totally deranged behavior. If we have a catastrophe, the blame will rest squarely with his enablers and Washington sycophants willing to scape and grovel to crazy.

The man is unfit, a danger to us all.

[Alice11111]

18. Moore is softening his cabinet and base up...getting

them used to the idea, rather than letting them think it can't happen.
Politico raised it today too.
People should.put it everywhere.

If DT wants to avoid the humiliation, he could have a medical event of some sort, and his.phoney doc could recommend he take a year off. Then, he just doesn't return.

[Laffy Kat]

31. That's what I'm thinking...a medical event.

Although at this point, it would look worse for the GOP if he continued to bloviate his gibberish for a while longer. It's not enough to remove 45, we have to bring down the GOP.

[Stellar]

11. ... "have his Doctor declare him temporarily unable" ...

Have you seen Trumps Doctor? I've always had my concerns about his Dr too.

[Alice11111]

19. Oops, just said that above before I read your post.

I think that is our best hope. Allows him to save face and get the hell out.

[Demoiselle]

12. Yup.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

13. Nixon didnt have fux spews et al saturating our culture in over the top snark

And schoolyard mentality threats.

[mr_lebowski]

14. Yes, well ... this Nixon fellow sounds like a BIG LOSER if you ask me ...

Guess what he needs is to watch some Fox & Friends (the only real news!), get himself some good advice from Frederick Douglass (great guy!), and a much bigger button! Like MINE!

[Alice11111]

21. LMAO

[PatrickforO]

15. This is pretty fucking scary.

Just nothing.................NOTHING..................good to be said about this sick, sad man squatting illegally in the WH.

Traitor.
Crook.
Psychopath.
Money launderer.
Possible rapist.

Until we flip the House and Senate, we won't be able to get this fuck out of office and have him quit doing so much...

SO MUCH....

damage.

[Alice11111]

23. ...just for starters

[certainot]

26. moore has followed the rest of the left leaders in ignoring talk radio

and that's why what he suggests is now impossible.
nixon didn't have 1500 radio stations getting his back
even suggesting it seriously for trump by anyone with stature will get them tarred and feathered by radio and that means a lot of death threats and screaming

[orleans]

32. k&r n/t

[Nitram]

35. Yes, this is true. but we had a Democratic majority in Congress.

That's also how the Clean Water Act passed.

[Oneironaut]

36. Yup. Trump is a lunatic who is acting like hes playing a table top board game.

He needs to be declared insane and removed from the Presidency. At least Pence has a completely functioning brain.

[melm00se]

37. While I would love to see Trump go

I have to say

"Michael, you are soooo wrong as Congress, then, just like now, does not have the unilateral power to remove the president except in the case of impeachment".

Go and actually READ the 25th Amendment (particular Section 4) and ask yourself how can Congress act except in cases of impeachment.

[Plucketeer]

40. Proper powers or no

Have we seen a physical crowd of reps on the capitol steps or in the rotunda - staging a sit (or stand)-in for us? Desperate times call for desperate measures. The god-offal corrosive meltdown that's eroding OUR federal manor is not going to be impeded by clever tweets or E-mails or late night show mockings.

We HIRE these reps, pay them - give them health care like we don't have access to, and then send them to DC to (supposedly) talk and deal for us. Don't they have to recite an oath too? Echo an oath to uphold the constitution and protect it against ALL threats - foreign and domestic? Where are those elected voices now? Democrats, Republican, Independent - they ALL HAVE TO KNOW we have a bogus leader in the Oval Office. Yet the clock keeps ticking away while the things we've taken for granted are trashed by this orange steam roller and his criminal crew.

We have Moore & Mahr & Rachel & Tom & numerous others who make a decent (or more) living by telling us how crazy our sleaze-ball leader is, but NO grand march of our reps to corner and confront those who COULD put a stop to all this in an instant. I physically can't go to DC and even if I did, I'd get laughed at IF anyone besides the Capitol police happend to notice some limping, yelling old jerk. But that's why I vote to select a spokesperson to be there for me. Even if my spokesdunce IS Devin Nunes, there's lots of others who supposedly would speak on my/our behalf.

Of course, my keystrokes here mean not one god-be-damned thing because I call for ALL reps - not just the ones "in charge" to stand up and take action. And that "ALL" word is a sad cover for the Dem side of the Aisle as well. And I'm breaking the rules of DU by doing that. Heh - and we lament the gridlock in congress. And so again, I ask: Where ARE our reps in DC? We're on the cusp of being decorum'd to death and all we get is "how shameful this all is".

Michael Moore, you are right on, as usual. I always treasure and respect your ideas. Thank You.
