Michael Moore: Do These Ten Things, and [Redacted] Will Be Toast

“The Michael Moore Easy-to-Follow 10-Point Plan to Stop Trump.”

First, let’s acknowledge what we all know to be true: Trump is in deep, deep trouble ― in the pocket of Russians, surrounded by alt.right idiots, alone in his bathrobe in a mostly-empty White House ― and caught inside a disgusting “shit-sandwich”, so said his supporter who turned down the NSA job.

Only one month into his So-Called Presidency ― and yet there is good news, as this is what the American landscape looks like:

Tens of thousands of citizens across the country have stormed Congressional district offices and town hall meetings to express their rage at the Trump agenda (a dejected Republican congressman, after a 3-hour verbal assault from his angry constituents, said on TV last night, “let’s face it - they [the Obamacare supporters] have won.”).

A federal court halted Trump’s first Muslim Ban ― actually, make that FOUR federal courts have ruled against him! He’s conceded defeat and will not appeal to the Supreme Court (though he will try a new ban - and good luck with that, you son of a Scottish immigrant).


Good article, worth reading the whole thing, and while I'm not sure what he specifically means by "Toast," I absolutely concur that if we all do all of these things, we will be doing major blocking/damage control. So it's definitely worth reading... and worth doing.

helpfully,
Bright

them all together. I have two terrific senators. Senator Wyden was elected in 1996, and he is a Jedi Knight in my mind, and very popular among his constituents (the progressive ones) with good reason. What does Moore mean by old? How old?
