Michael Moore, who used to make some pretty good movies, has some thoughts on Brett Kavanaugh's nomination to the Supreme Court. Those thoughts are stupid, and in fact, enraging, and would you have guessed those thoughts are that "Democrats are to blame"?
5 days ago Dems & “liberals” did the same old thing, claiming some empty “victory” when Flake feigned “shame, and t… https: //t.co/0BsIrO1jxE

Some of us have been doing more in our "FIGHT" than starting film festivals and then trumping off the vendors. I, in fact, have been knocking on doors in Polson, Montana, asking old white Republican men to vote for Jon Tester (and Kathleen Williams!). Do you know what those old white men told me (very nicely!)? That the Democrats pushing against Kavanaugh were "a disgrace" -- and I'm talking about before the sex assault stuff came out, back when they were just filibustering all over Chuck Grassley's face. Kamala Harris, Cory Booker, Mazie Hirono, et al., were waging an UNPRECEDENTED WAR on the nominee back when all we knew about him was that he loves carpooling and also telling reporters Hillary Clinton fucked Vince Foster to death, in her usual lesbian way.
Here's the thing, dickrag. It's a thing called MATH. Right now, there are fewer Democrats in the Senate than Republicans, and the GOP killed the filibuster for the Supreme Court the second they got the chance. Democrats can't actually stop Brett Kavanaugh's nomination without some help from a minimum of two Republicans still in possession of their souls, no matter how much you victim-blame them. They can YELL and CATERWAUL and FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT ... AND THEY FUCKING HAVE BEEN.
This reminds me of nothing so much as Moore's fellow know-nothing, Jill Stein, blaming Betsy DeVos on the Democrats -- when literally not a single Democrat voted to confirm her.
I am going to assume for the purpose of not stroking out that Moore is ONLY discounting the Democratic and "liberal" senators, and NOT the people who have been getting their asses arrested in the rotunda all week, or the women who made Jeff Flake actually recognize his conscience when it bit him in the ass. But you know he's talking about them too, and all of us, our silly Resistance that isn't Michael Moore-led.
Go the fuck away, Michael Moore. Or back to Chris Hayes's studio again, I guess, it's probably been at least three days.
