Meh, not really. Not many people pay attention to Moore anymore.
I wish that were true (I hope it is true).
I’m a proud libtard but I think Moore is shady and phony. ‘Borat’ was a more honest documentary than ‘Bowling For Columbine’ as far as I’m concerned.
But I’m pretty sure lots of liberals still give him credence - and I see his quips and claims being shared on social media noticeably-enough after he makes some noise.
The Republican party is going to have to invent a new way to scrape this episode off. Their endorsement absolutely defines their values.
Yes, you are special.
Somebody responded to something you wrote on the internet.
But I’m not sure you understand what an “opinion” is.
I read elsewhere that the President has to pay for his own food.
Maybe that explains both the Big Macs and why Presidents are constantly visiting other countries – to mooch off their leaders!
If Trump had ever wanted a job, he would have been working all along.
It’s so painfully obvious that he would detest being president because it’s work.
I’ve started to wonder, maybe Trump is broke? He hasn’t shown his tax returns and estimates of his net value fluctuates wildly. Maybe that’s why he is running for president, to get a new job fitting for his ego or a publicity boost for his brand name that makes up a lot of his value.
FLAME BROILING, dude! 
I don’t think fact and Michael Moore should ever be used in conjunction.
The President certainly does have to pay for his family’s food and for any of his personal guests. State dinners and public events are paid for out of the White House budget.
That movie is dating backwards. Full idiocracy in T minus 10… 9… 8…
I can tell you from firsthand, personal knowledge that Michael Moore loves fast food, despite himself. At least, back in the days when he wrote Dude, Where’s My Country? he was sending PA’s out on a daily basis to bring him back fast food lunches, even while making great television that criticized our corporate world.
I wouldn’t be surprised if, now that he’s older, he’s had to change his eating habits somewhat, but being rich had nothing to do with it. The guy loves his blue-collar lifestyle almost to the point of stubborn schticky pride.
A lot of Boomers in that age block were growing up or hitting their teens/20s at the same time as fast food was first becoming a thing. So it seems to have become a massive point of nostalgia. I meet a lot of people in that age block with huge attachments to McDonald’s. Retirees who just want to spend their dotage working at McDonald’s. Older guys who absolutely must drive their vintage car to McDonald’s once a week to meet with their vintage car and McDonald’s buddies. People who will go on and on about the perfection of the McDonald’s fry. People who will spend out the ASS for McDonald’s collectibles, or paint their PT Cruiser in McDonald’s Livery (no shit, an older woman here actually did that) etc. It makes a certain amount of sense. When this age group was young, cruising around and visiting places like McDonald’s was not just appropriate. It was the thing. Think about the irrational love many younger people have for Chipotle these days.
For my age group (30’s) the connotations seem a bit different. There’s still something of a nostalgia kick to it. Fast Food was already ubiquitous by the time we were children. But it was very much about the kids meal toys and the marketing gimmicks. A cheap treat we got for being good, like candy. As we grew older it was more about it being the cheapest, easiest thing you could lay your hands on. To say nothing of fast food’s shift from afternoon activity for the white and upwardly mobile, to staple food for the urban poor. As such most people I know seem to consider fast food as an over the top stunt (see the KFC double down, and Epic Meal Time), or a sort of self loathing binge/hang over cure. The comfort food aspect is still there, but I wouldn’t call it positive or warm.
It appears that there’s also an article called 5 Ways To Make Sure Trump Loses, they just got the link wrong. Which kind of just proves your point.
I twatted at him about it, because of course nobody has email or feedback forms anymore. All I’ve used my Twitter for in years is contacting public figures.
Waitaminute, what? That’s a thing?
Dude, they opened one near me recently and people took off work to eat there day one. There are thousands of articles constantly floating around social media about how to make their barbacoa, which is neither good nor barbacoa. Its even most of the top search results for barbacoa.
Its bizarre. I can’t fathom it. Chipotle is literally identical to every other fast casual burrito place. Except with added food born illness. Even in NY, where Mexican food is generally blah, you can get a better burrito for 5 bucks or less at any deli with Latino staff. But my generation, and especially those one step younger have decided Chipotle is the best food. I’ve been invited to fucking work\business meetings at Chipotle. I know people who have fucking family functions there. I’ve had friends invite me to go have drinks at Chipotle.
And yet its organic burrito McDonald’s.
Even now?
Don’t they keep poisoning their customers?
The same week the illnesses peaked my teenaged and college aged coworkers were driving an hour and 30 minutes to get to the (then) nearest Chipotle after work. So post 10pm because I work in a restaurant currently. They did this 3 nights a week. There are at least a dozen actual Mexican restaurants with late kitchens between here and there. And any restaurant with at least 1 Mexican in the kitchen (ie all of them) is fully capable of making bad ass Mexican food for the employees. You just gotta ask the cooks real nice.
When I questioned the wisdom of this cockamamie practice the response was “oh my god its Chipotle”!
I have seen similarly brain destroying behavior among people my own age. Residents of San Francisco, with all its burrito fame. In major cities, in rural towns, north, south. You name it.
30-40 years from now aged millenials will be painstakingly restoring Chipotle signs and corporate " art". And making weekly trips with their buddies to reminisce about the old days over mediocre burrito bowls. And young people will be like “What the fuck is up with grandpa. I mean chipotle’s alright when I’ve got a hang over, but he fucking loves that slop.”
I never looked it up before but it turns out that there are a full dozen Chipotles here. In San Francisco. That’s like opening Pizza Huts in Naples.
And upon looking that up I found: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/food-and-drink/news/domino-s-is-selling-pizza-in-italy/
