Michael Moore enjoyed an extended moment following Donald Trump’s unexpected election victory. He had predicted a Trump win, which gave folks plenty of reason to listen to his future recommendations for Democrats. Now, Moore has had it up to his baseball cap with all of the Russia developments, which include National Security Advisor Michael Flynn’s resignation after reports that he was vulnerable to Russian blackmail. Late on Valentine’s Day, the New York Times reported that Trump campaign aides were in direct communication with Russia before the election.
Whew. That’s not even all of the past 36 hours of developments, but Moore also tweet-ranted all day and night. The Russia mess swallowed his entire holiday, but no matter. First up, he demanded the arrest of Flynn before placing the blame largely on Trump and demanding his arrest, too. And then there was some impeachment talk.
Flynn was colluding w/ a foreign gov't accused of helping throw the election 2 Trump,promising them they would be taken care of. Arrest him.

Let's be VERY clear: Flynn DID NOT make that Russian call on his own. He was INSTRUCTED to do so.He was TOLD to reassure them. Arrest Trump.

The Washington Post & NY Times now reporting Trump HAS KNOWN FOR A MONTH Flynn lied about the Russian call – and Trump did nothing. #IMPEACH

Soon enough, Moore’s rant began to warm up as he called Trump “traitor” and “squatter” and demanded his presidential resignation. And yes, he dropped a “vacate you Russian traitor” along with the word “impeachment.”
Hey @realDonaldTrump-1hr after Obama put sanctions on Russia YOU told Flynn 2 call them & promise em it'll be OK. Traitor!Resign by morning!

Um, @realDonaldTrump — It's now noontime in DC & it appears you are still squatting in our Oval Office. I gave u til this morning to leave.

What part of "vacate you Russian traitor" don't you understand? We can do this the easy way (you resign), or the hard way (impeachment).

At that point, Moore paused and penned a Facebook post, in which he argued that people cannot be satisfied with mere impeachment because then Mike Pence will be president, and Moore believes he’s just as corrupt (electionwise) as Trump. He ordered an election redo before returning to Twitter.
Moore then put Iran “on notice,” just like Flynn did, but his wrath soon turned to Congressional Democrats, who he called “spineless” for not filing impeachment charge yet. This is getting ugly.
Michael Flynn: I AM OFFICIALLY PUTTING IRAN ON NOTICE that I need a good lawyer. (thx @tinyrevolution)

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what was going on: TRUMP COLLUDING WITH THE RUSSIANS TO THROW THE ELECTION TO HIM.
— Michael Moore (@MMFlint) February 15, 2017
We demand that the weak & spineless Democrats bring Congress 2 a halt until investigative hearings are held & impeachment charges are filed.

Flynn also paid lip service to the GOP convention speech that went viral, but he didn’t quite touch upon Russia’s reported heavy regrets over Trump. Well, there’s always tomorrow! See you then.
