He just tweeted a news paper headline of Bill Clinton.

(112,202 posts)Just because he directed a couple of movies that Democrats liked doesn't make him a great visionary or even intelligent. I'll take a delayed sense of satisfaction knowing that I never upheld him in any way.

(58,785 posts)I remember his coming on one of the late-night comedy shows on election eve to supposedly tell young people to vote. He started out "agreeing" with the young people of America that they had no one to vote for, but even though both options were bad they needed to vote against the Republicans anyway.
He's poison. That's why the fable of the scorpion and the frog was created about people like him. It's his nature to be poisonous. Like drawing this equivalence with Trump's insanity.

(15,330 posts)His Bernie Bro bullshit and wink and nod to Jill Stein gave Donnie Shit for Brains the few thousand votes in 3 states that enabled him to win.
Michael Moore is the kind of guy that would start a barfight with a biker gang, and then when you got your ass beat, he'd come out from hiding under a table to tell you how you "could have beat that gang", or point out that at least he didn't start a barfight with the accountants, because that would have been "worse then the bikers".
Of course, then he'd go on TV to point out that the biker gang and accountants are "just the same".
He's not so much a fucking has been... he's more like a "never was".

(1,184 posts)The 1998 campaign had been planned for sometime, we had the help of allies, and it didn't aim to kill a high ranking military person of a legitimate government.
For what it's worth, I don't think today's operation had anything to do with Trump wanting to distract from the impeachment process. It's just something he pulled out of his ass to show how tough we are. I hope Michael Moore is just saying that it's interesting how history repeats. If he's truly trying to conflate Trump and Clinton's leadership on foreign policy, he is ridiculous.
Many of the ideas presented in Michael Moore's documentaries and books are half-baked. He has a fine body of work, but many of his thoughts are cartoonish, and increasingly so. I'm over him.

Yes, he sucks. He is out for no one but Michael Moore. He got one election prediction right (after many that were wrong) and now thinks he's an analytical genius.
He is one of a legion of consummate self promoters.
