Michael Moore: I'll surround the U.S. Capitol to stop Trump's SCOTUS pick |
2018-07-02 |
Appearing on HBO’s "Real Time with Bill Maher," the liberal filmmaker and activist said he’d participate in a wide-scale protest to prevent the Senate from approving the president’s second Supreme Court nominee, assuming Republican leadership schedules a vote before the November midterm elections when Democrats risk gaining control. "We’ve got to hold the Democratic seats we have, but look, 90 percent of incumbents are always returned," Mr. Moore. "The Democrats in Montana and North Dakota, West Virginia, they’ve got to do their job, they’ll do their job. Our job is to win Nevada, Arizona and Tennessee and they could all be won!" "But the vote’s going to take place before then, no?" responded comedian Bill Maher, the program’s host. Nearly four months until midterms, Mr. Moore said Democrats "have to find ways" in the interim to stop the Senate from voting on whoever Mr. Trump picks to replace Justice Kennedy, who announced his retirement earlier this week. |

#21 Does anyone know if tazing him will help him lose weight? Posted by: Frozen Al 'Tazing" in the 80 to 100 milliamps range should eventually lead to weight loss. |

#20 Hopefully tazed as well. Does anyone know if tazing him will help him lose weight? |

#19 He is beautifully marbled, and so should become wonderfully tender after long exposure to the heat of a Washington, DC summer. May I suggest adding a strong red wine and packing him with root vegetables? |

#17 The muscles of Michael Moore's jowls Are naught to the brawn in his bowels That can crush -- do you hear? -- Every part of a steer And expel it in pellets like owls'. |

#13 At least his jowls appear to be well exercised. Not certain what impact that may have on this cardiovascular health, if any. |

#12 I make my girlfriend laugh every time I point out a grossly obese person and say "How do they know when the right part of their ass is over the toilet?" |

#11 Has it occurred to anyone to notice or suspect that MICHAEL MOORE has no Faith or respect for the American Constitution ? Perhaps he never read it or even knows it exists. Michael, honey, put down the Sandwich and pay attention. The Constitution is the Rule Book for the effective maintenance of the United States. You are a citizen of the United States and you have a National Flag, you know that Red White and Blue thing? You are not an elected Official, you are a man far too ginormous to sit on a conventional sized toilet. You are in over your head. The Constitution WILL win and you...well, you will have to buy a custom made toilet. Some thing with a bigger... .how do I say this...a much bigger HOLE. |

#9 When we're talking about replacing Justice Kennedy, we ought to remember what Trump said about him in a June 27 press release - In 1987, President Reagan nominated him to the Court, and he was swiftly confirmed without opposition. A Californian — like the President who appointed him — Justice Kennedy is a true man of letters. During his tenure on the Court, he authored landmark opinions in every significant area of constitutional law, most notably on equal protection under the law, the separation of powers, and the First Amendment’s guarantees of freedom of speech and religion. Justice Kennedy has been a tireless voice for individual rights and the Founders’ enduring vision of limited government. His words have left an indelible mark not only on this generation, but on the fabric of American history. Sounds like one o' them right-wingers. SO he should be replaced by another right-winger. |

#5 Suddenly the Left is all about anti democratic tyranny. Not sudden at all. Just much more visible since Trump pulled the masks off them. |

#4 Yeah, you do that, fat-so. BTW, how's your Halliburton investment doin'? |

#3 Suddenly the Left is all about anti democratic tyranny. It's OK because they're the ones doing it. |

#2 For the Left, its only about one thing - power. |
