Cue idiotic Trump tweet in 3...2...1... Not to mention the idiotic tweets from the base that this violates Roseanne's first amendment rights, and they should boycott ABC. FWIW Sara Gilbert spoke out against her, too. Ok but if they are boycotting ABC, that means they are/should be boycotting ESPN, and how are they going to get their football now that the players can't kneel. Its a conundrum

The governor of Missouri resigned FINALLY I guess with the groper in chief we have, he thought he would be able to ride it out, too. ETA: Good he resigned. It is ridiculous it took so long.

Cue alt right meltdown about free speech 🙄 The Constitution gives you a right to free speech. It doesn't protect you from consequences of your words. ROFL it happened on Twitter but the overwhelming response from support of ABC kept her show cancelled. The deplorables didn't scream loud enough. People in my office say its stupid. There needs to be a ALOT of change.

The deplorables are hysterical with their salty tears. I do enjoy this part about their subreddit though. It shows where the echo chamber is. Attachment Deleted

Re-Roseanne
I honestly wonder what people like Gilbert and Metcalf were thinking coming back to the reboot. I mean $ talks I guess but I can't imagine having polar opposite views of someone who spews hateful bullshit and then being comfortable associating with that. I'm side-eying them.

White women that don’t practice what they preach in exchange for more $$ in their pockets. Not surprised. I was disappointed though.

I mean, sure, Roseanne was "one cast member" and, if it were a feasible alternative, I'm sure ABC would have fired her alone rather than cancel a highly rated show. But she's the creator, title character and archetype upon which the entire show is built. They couldn't keep that show on air as is.

I’ve never seen Roseanne, either the original or the reboot, but I’m still glad it’s cancelled based on her tweets (both current and historically). 🤷🏻♀️

Fuck Arkansas. I'm so sorry for all of the pregnant people whose bodily autonomy has been deliberately stripped away who have no way to escape.

Gowdy agrees? Gowdy the Toady? Is today bizarro day? I was just soapboxing about this on Twitter and I'll do it here too (aren't you all lucky?) Howdy, as much of a pain in the arse as he often is, HAS stood up to Trump a few times when it mattered. He clearly does have a limit. I'm not defending him but what disturbs me is the number of people calling for his head bc he didn't take their side at every single turn. That's why politics is broken in America. This expectation that every person pick a side and always are in full throated, sign waving agreement with that side 100% of the time. That's absurd. And it's even more absurd to hurl vitriol at someone who supports your causes 95% of the time bc they did one or two things you disagree with. I don't like it from the Right and I don't like it from the Left.

Huh. There’s that obstruction of justice again. Hasn't he done this numerous times? Publicly? No I don't think so? He vented his frustration that he recused himself in the first place I thought and that he didn't agree with the decision.
Either way, asking him to reverse the decision, and take back over, is pretty fucked up. And another case for obstruction.

Lololol the MAGAtrites think they're going to avenge Roseanne by getting Bill Maher fired.
1. No. 2. Bill Maher's comment about Trump wasn't good comedy, but it also wasn't racist. 3. Go ahead. Fire Bill Maher. I sincerely doubt it will provoke the coveted liberal tears.
