Michael Moore in TrumpLand

October Surprise!!!  Michael Moore in TrumpLand is a documentary on Donald Trump that Michael Moore has been secretly filming.  Its debut will be tonight at New York City's IFC Center.  And it's free!

The documentary's description includes:

“See the film Ohio Republicans tried to shut down. Oscar-winner Michael Moore dives right into hostile territory with his daring and hilarious one-man show, deep in the heart of TrumpLand in the weeks before the 2016 election.”

Give 'em Hell Michael!

Vladimir Putin Distances Himself from Donald Trump; says “Trump's Behavior Completely Indefensible.”

Vladimir Putin told reporters:

 “As the father of two daughters, I cannot condone or defend Mr. Trump’s behavior.”

Putin said he had been planning to contribute 31 million Rubles to Trump's election campaign, but now he plans instead to “focus on down-ballot races.”

Who Won The First Debate?

From the Huffington Post:

“Had the debate been a prize fight, it would have been stopped in the third round. Donald Trump turned in the worst ― and I mean worst ― debate performance in modern times. It was so bad that in a normal year, it would disqualify him from getting anywhere near the White House.  But this is 2016, a year so weird, unsettled and unsettling, that even the spectacle of an unprepared and almost incoherent Trump, reeling from blow after blow from Democrat Hillary Clinton, may not be enough to slow him down.”

That's about it.  Trump kept spewing out lie after lie, and the Trumpanzees didn't care or didn't notice.

Lester Holt had to keep fact-checking Trump, repeating over and over that being audited by the IRS would NOT prevent him from releasing his tax returns; and Trump kept insisting that he can't release his tax returns until the IRS is through with their audit.  WTF is he hiding?  A Russian Mob connection?  The fact that his net worth is closer to $300 million than the $20 billion he keeps implying?

He was also fact-checked again and again over his claim that he was against the Iraq War from the beginning.

And let's not forget:

Donald Trump Promises to Get the Food Police Off Our Backs

If you have any household pets — for that matter, if you're generally concerned about knowing what's in the food you purchase — here's one more reason to NOT vote for Donald Trump (as if there weren't enough already).

“The FDA Food Police, which dictate how the federal government expects farmers to produce fruits and vegetables and even dictates the nutritional content of dog food.  The rules govern the soil farmers use, farm and food production hygiene, food packaging, food temperatures and even what animals may roam which fields and when.  It also greatly increased inspections of food 'facilities,' and levies new taxes to pay for this inspection overkill.”

Damn those faceless government bureaucrats!  So, let's say you have a lethal allergy to peanuts, and you've just had a seizure because you ate something that contains peanuts — after the ingredients label assured you that it doesn't — be grateful that we got the government off our backs.

Ditto for your dog or cat that got poisoned from contaminated pet food.  Etc.

The Truth about Donald Trump's “Basket of Deplorables”

As you've probably heard, the Trumpanzees are having a sad because Hillary Clinton said mean things about them at a fundraiser:

“You know, just to be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right? The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic — you name it.”

While the Trump Klan is shedding crocodile tears, here are the facts.

Among people who say they're voting for Trump:

65% believe President Obama is a Muslim;

59% believe Obama was not born in the United States;

40% think Blacks are more lazy than Whites;

50% think Blacks are more violent than Whites;

In a different poll, conducted only in South Carolina among Trump supporters:

31% believe all LGBT people should be banned from the United States;

16% said “whites are a superior race;” another 14% answered the same question with “not sure.”

Deplorable indeed.

Donald Trump Nominates Vladimir Putin for Supreme Court Justice

Donald Trump: Who is John Miller? Don’t Hang Up — Answer the Question!!!

We might have found Donald Trump’s Achilles’ Heel:  Ask him “Did you ever employ someone named John Miller as a spokesperson?”   A caller asked him that question during an interview, and Trump went ballistic and hung up.

It turns out, “John Miller” was an alias Donald Trump used.  He was pretending to be Donald Trump’s publicist — “John Miller” — and “John Miller” turned out to be Donald Trump, singing his own praises in the second person.  “He’s gonna make America great again!!”  “Why should he reveal his tax returns?  None of your business!”  “His hands are huuuge, and so is his you-know-what!”

First there was Harvey the White Rabbit; now there’s “John Miller.”

Aside from the sleaze factor, isn’t this sort of…creepy?  Not quite in the same category as Norman Bates getting into a shouting match with his dead mother, but still…

But best of all, Trump lost his cool when he was asked about John Miller.  All of his calculated soundbites, choreographed moods and personas — down the tubes.

So keep after him, damn it!  Make him get rattled in front of his worshipers.  Who is John Miller?  What else are you hiding?  Got any other imaginary friends you’d like to share with us?

And now, an even scarier thought:  Who will be the GOP's next De-Evolution specimen after Donald Trump?

Any guesses?
