"Roseanne" cancelled.
 
Death by Twitter.

Good riddance.

Chicks 05-29-2018 01:11 PM

Not unexpected. What sort of conspiracy theories will Whell’s wingnut media friends come up with as the “real” reason for its cancellation, I wonder? No doubt something to do with George Soros and Hillary, lol.

A Trump-enabled racist bites the dust - a good start.

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—The White House was reportedly in panic mode Tuesday afternoon, shortly after news broke that a television star with a racist Twitter feed had been fired.

According to a White House source, Donald J. Trump immediately huddled with close advisers to discuss the firing, which, staffers agreed, “set an ominous new precedent.”

“We’ve been living under assumption that a TV personality could tweet out as many racist things as he or she wanted with no consequences,” the source said. “Now, all of a sudden, our worst nightmare has come true.”

White House staffers are reportedly combing through Trump’s thirty-seven thousand tweets, searching for ones that could be deemed fireable offenses, and have so far flagged more than thirty-six thousand of them.

Many on Trump’s team are urging calm, however, claiming that the dismissal of one racist TV star could be an “isolated example.”

“The only people who can fire Donald Trump right now are congressional Republicans, and they don’t have the high moral standards that TV executives have,” the source said.

A skeptical person may well believe the potential loss of the valued all mighty sponsors was behind this move. Or at least a major part of the discussion. Until the loss of sponsors IE donors to republicans little fear of similar action in politics.

So funny, yet sadly, so true. Borowitz is today’s best satirist.

Bob Iger of ABC called Valerie Jarrett to let her know that “ABC does not tolerate comments like those” made by Roseanne Barr. Gee, he never called President Donald J. Trump to apologize for the HORRIBLE statements made and said about me on ABC. Maybe I just didn’t get the call?

Once again, Trump makes it about him somehow being the victim. Classless scum.

Pio1980 05-30-2018 12:10 PM

Can Bob Iger fire DJT (please, God)?

Roseanne blamed the use of Ambien for her racist tweet, to which the maker of Ambien responded:

People of all races, religions and nationalities work at Sanofi every day to improve the lives of people around the world. While all pharmaceutical treatments have side effects, racism is not a known side effect of any Sanofi medication.

WTF right back at you I challenge you to go on the search engines and this cheap website and find anything that I ever said that was demeaning to women or any conservative. Look up what you guys said about Megan Kelly or Sarah Palin and you will see the liberal true colors that you are or if not liberal what you stand with

They are. They also think that Sarah Hillbilly Sanders is a despicable liar. Her willingness to serve someone as vile as Trump demeans women.

I got what you wrote, but you didn't get my reply. To make myself clear, we acquire our biases from others. A good example of how we acquire them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnY-Ft7F9eo.

If I believe that Sarah HS is butt ugly, how does that make me a hypocrite?
BTW, what do you think of Carly Fiona's looks?
(Hint": "look at her face")

A list of Trump's attacks on prominent women

Ugly Sara defends this ass every day. Her ugliness isn’t just skin deep.

Pio1980 06-02-2018 12:27 AM

I don't comment on appearance as a general rule unless someone opens a hypocritical attack unrelated to the facts. Being physically superficially attractive or unattractive doesn't convey veracity or otherwise by definition.
However, some folks become repulsive by exposing their interior nature. Likewise their attractiveness.

Rajoo 06-02-2018 07:59 AM

SHS is a lying sack of shit. Lying brings out the ugliness in a person.

Sigh.

Alex Jones always lashes back when a disgusting, racist pig like Roseanne is outted and accuses "the left" of stifling the free speech of "Patriotic, Freedom loving Americans". In fact, this is what the alt-right in general has been doing for a while now. Sorry, but they can waive the flag around and declare their supposedly exclusive love for America all they want. A pig wearing lipstick is still but a pig. Okay, so these people are racist pigs who love America? Very nice, everyone should love America. But they're still racist pigs. :rolleyes::cool:
