God, dont ask what led me here, but there is a "deplorables" FB group which is open to the public and just features a ton of disgusting memes. One of them was Whoopi wearing a shirt of DT shooting himself in the head. I believe this is one of the things the pro-trumpers are referring too with their View comments. I saw this too.
Fucking idiots will believe anything, the photo is obviously fake and heavily photoshopped.
I have seen it posted too.

This reminds me that every time I hear Tomi Lahren's voice, I feel rage. Minnesota did me proud by throwing a drink in her face. Part of me wants to say how petty and immature that is, but part of me wants to high five the drink thrower.

Typecast or lucked into their original role and their lack of subsequent work has everything to do with their talents as actors? Michael Fishmann is the first one that comes to mind. He was 6 or so when it started but he still looks the same so you think of Roseanne when you see him which is probably why he has only managed a one or two episodes of anything after the show. Michael Fishmann and Lecy Goranson fall into the "lucked into their original role" group, IMO.

Maybe it was less expensive for him to just build new than just renovate the old building? There could be structural issues or permits needed or other things like that. yea for sure. I guess it just blows my mind that a perfectly good building, which was only built 25 years ago and vacant for 3 years is MORE expensive than buying land and building an entire building. Like that astounds me if that's the case, I know moving plumbing and electrical around is expensive but it shouldn't be THAT expensive (in my eyes). My experience is more in residential but the decision typically comes to: spend $X to renovate existing building, or spend $X + a relatively minimal amount to build new. So IME (again in residential, which is admittedly different from commercial but I think the mindset is similar) the trade off for the extra planning/emotional bandwidth required to renovate, the potential compromises you may have to make, etc. are not worth the small financial savings for a lot of people. Building new is just easier. I don't agree with it but people have different priorities. Tearing down beautiful old homes to make room for a new build hurts my heart.

I didnt watch the new Rosanne because gross, but I saw a cast photo the other day and both Becky’s were in it. Were they both on the reboot?
Also, I read a click bait article about other shows that have been cancelled due to controversies and it said Wonder Years was cancelled because of sexual harassment allegations against Fred Savage. I never heard that before.

brux, right?! Ed O'Neill and Katy Segal were 2 of the most typecast people in tv history and both of them went on to have successful careers because they are just genuinely great actors.

I feel for the Roseanne cast and crew. So many of you guys work with Trumper assholes, but now HWood jobs are a dime a dozen and you shouldn’t take a paycheck if there’s one person in your entire organization that has different views than you? Come on now.

I'll admit that it took me a while to adjust to them in non-Bundy roles, but I totally agree that they've used their talents to do so much more than those roles.

I graduate high school in 2002. Today on fb, a former classmate posted a throwback pic from high school writing “Back when everything wasn’t so goddamn political people didn’t get butt hurt over a few nasty words. The good times!!” And another girl quotes 2pac and that children weren’t growing up in such a hateful world then. I needed to retrieve my eyeballs from the next state over.
Columbine happened our freshman year, kids dropped out left and right from bullying, and we were 98% white. So sure, maybe in your bubble it was all good times. It took everything in me to not respond and remembered why I’m not friends with anyone from my high school.

The people that I've seen defending Roseanne and her "free speech" are the same people that I've seen applauding the NFL's requirement to stand for the anthem. Again - defending the woman that screeched vs. sang, and grabbed her crotch while performing that very same anthem.

Actually full circle here, they wrote the role of Peg Bundy for Roseanne. But she didn't want it. So Katy came to an audition in her Bette Midler backup singer attire and they said this is perfect!

But taking a knee, GTFO of the country! What could possibly be different in these scenarios? Hmmm....

Mostly because I couldn’t get through a day without fighting. So yeah, those were the days! 🙃

I guess I just don't have much sympathy for people who want to be actors, singers or models when they find themselves unable to make a living on their perceived talents alone.
At some point, move on from the dream.

I don't give a shit if people have dirty houses. Speaking from experience you can be a private person with your life falling apart hanging on by a thread, and appear fine on the outside. Getting out of bed and getting basic shit done is a Herculean feat, with out toilets getting clean. My house is usually clean, most people consider me a clean person. Even then I'm sure there has been times it hasn't and people have seen, but whatever. I would hang out at your house any day. I’m also guessing it is cleaner than mine. It’s good to see you here. ❤️
