It’s not exactly a “Let’s Move” campaign, but it’s about as close to one as Michael Moore is ever going to get.
Moore pushed away from the buffet table long enough to make an appearance on “The Late Show” with Stephen Colbert Thursday night to promote his new film “Fahrenheit 11/9.” In his appearance he implored members of the Trump ‘resistance’ to get active.
Irony abounded as the film director ticked off several examples of how anti-Trumpers could mobilize in the fight against the President.
“Get off the couch,” “rise up,” and “put our bodies on the line,” Moore insisted, unaware that he’s done none of these things in recent memory.
I cannot begin to describe the emotion I felt during the segment I just taped with Stephen Colbert tonight. It will air in an hour on the east coast on CBS. We talked about the deep despair tens of millions are feeling &what we’re going to do about it. We went long. Hope u see it

Moore described the segment with Colbert as emotional, citing the obvious despair many liberals have felt as they watch Trump’s approval ratings rise, along with suffering several major setbacks in the Supreme Court this week, culminating with the retirement of Justice Anthony Kennedy.
So, how will they fight back? By lining up behind the rotund filmmaker urging them to stop sulking and being lazy!
“The despair that I have in going forward and making this movie is when are people going to get off the couch and when are we going to rise up?” he asked while sitting on a plush chair across from Colbert.
“And I’m telling you folks, to answer your question, the end game sadly is going to be Trump is not going to leave, he plans to be re-elected, he loves the term ‘president for life,'” Moore lamented.
“The only way that we’re going to stop this is eventually we’re all going to have to put our bodies on the line.”

Conservative actor James Woods, as he is known to do, offered the perfect retort to Moore’s ‘bodies’ line.
“Yours is probably enough,” he wrote.

For Moore’s part, his latest attempts to “get off the couch” have been many, but yielding little success.
He produced a website called ‘Trumpileaks,’ a site allowing “patriotic Americans” to anonymously notify Moore and his team of “crimes, breaches of public trust and misconduct committed by Donald J. Trump.”
Thus far, nothing has come of that.
Then, of course, there was his failed Broadway show, “The Terms of My Surrender,” billed as a one-man attempt to bring down the president.
Now Moore is putting his body on the line by producing a film titled “Fahrenheit 11/9,” about Trump’s presidential election, which was originally announced by Harvey Weinstein.
Weinstein won’t be rising up anywhere for quite a while, having been arrested on rape charges.
Moore’s ‘rise up’ campaign isn’t exactly batting 1.000.
By all means, we encourage Moore’s followers to get off the couch and do something. Maybe even get a job. Of course, the problem with that is, working would mean the unemployment rate would drop even further than it already has under President Trump.
It’s a bit of a double-edged sword.
THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY TO DEAL WITH DEMS,LIBS, COMMIES AND ALL THE REST OF THE IDIOTS BECAUSE YOU CAN’T REASON WITH THEM. IT WOULD BE ON THE END OF A ROPE!!!
Moore is every bit as stupid, and misinformed and radical as Mad Maxine Waters! Anything either of them says is likely to be either a lie, or completely unformed, or more likely, BOTH. Ignore them.
Notice, he doesn’t say his body, always someone else’s.
Has there ever been a more unpleasant, hideously abominable, perverse, retrograde individual on the face of the earth? He uses the left’s favorite miscall, “emotion,” to depict his appearance on colbert’s fecal hour as though lefty’s are actually capable of genuine sympathies and even less likely in his case buried under tons of noxious, bubbling fat. What a pig!
If Michael Moore puts his body on the line I pity the line.
He should’ve told himself that years ago.
I’m a wee bit confused here.
Exactly WHAT qualifies a fat toad who’s only real claim to fame was to write a couple of stories that were made into movies, as someone who should be listened to regarding matters political?
Mr Moore, stuff another dozen donuts and shut the hell up about matters you’re not qualified to discuss.
WE THE PEOPLE’ HAVE THE POWER OF OUR VOICES AND OUR VOTES, TO VOTE OUT THE ENTIRE LYING,CORRUPT, TREASONOUS DEMOCRAT PARTY COME NOV 2018, VOTE TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN AND TO END ALL CORRUPTIONS IN WASHINGTON GOVERNMENT SHARE WITH OTHERS
Who the F__K does that very large and fat douche bag Michael Moore think he is? He’s just another libreal NOBODY that nobody pays any attention to, because who the hell listens to any of the liberal scumbags anyhow? NOT ME or anyone I know! Michael Moore why don’t you jump upon that double edged sword.
If anyone needs to get off the couch it’s Michael Moore. That enormous couch potato fool will be on My 600lb Life soon.
Would love to get your fat body in front of my truck–it would sure make a big mess
And then you’d have to clean up that oily fatty mess – yuck
Michael Moore will see his movie fail just like his Broadway Show.You would think by now that he would learn when to keep his big mouth shot. Has he seen the ratings on the Late Night T.V shows?
Moore, Waters and all who take to their stages to call on their weak minded sheeple to go out and do what they are telling them to do never actually do these things themselves…they don’t intend to get their hands dirty—they have people for that! Cheap, expendable, replaceable pawns! If any type of retaliation turns on them—they scream for protection and call themselves victims!
I suspect his daily activity consists of going between the couch and the refrigerator. He should be very, very careful about calling people to arms. They will lose big.
Hard to imagine just who in the world this puke of a loser could inspire to do anything but take their own life. He would be the only legitimate reason for Conservatives to support abortion!
Well maybe him and Whoopi Goldberg.
Gosh, that’s gonna be a wide line! Hey Michael, you first! Oh, and where do you want us to stack’um?
