How did the Populism virus get over here and infect the Left?

A lot of far left “thinkers” are still enamored with “the dictatorship of the proletariat”. Problem is. That’s essentially what we have now.

Fox is already dragging out their imaginary first amendment, which says they can say whatever pops into their heads, and everyone has to just leave them alone, dammit! I

Then they shouldn’t mind when I insinuate that they are brainless monkeys whose major skill is flinging feces

I hope she is happy with her tweet.

She knew exactly what she said or she wouldn’t of apologized.
Too bad so sad Rosanne you female MUNT

Were he around today, Karl Marx would say “evangelical Christendom is the opiate of the American masses”.

Remember him as Moses on SNL?

OMG! Just imagining the two of them out stumping for Trump makes my head hurt.

[darrtown]

Some people are held to account for their stupidity (Roseanne) …others not so much (you know who I mean) because Lord knows he has tweeted and stated a lotta cringe worthy and cancel-worthy comments.

[tena]

Yeah most of his choices have been really good ones and he works steadily. I was puzzled when he decided to go back to the show.

[tena]

I think I remember parts of it. He’s hosted SNL umpty-nine times over the years.

I might point out the fact that pretty much everyone ELSE on the show are liberal. If a conservative network tries to pick it up, it’s going to have a a cast of one.

Rosanne, divorced, disowned, her family unable deal with her support of Trump, makes a fresh start in a new world on her own. How will her working-class mores stand up to a demeaning, know-it-all latte-sipping boss? How will her tentative forays into the dating world fare when met with tendentious lectures from bitter Hillary voters? How will she deal with her room-mate’s continual assumptions of base motives when all she wants is for Trump to Make America Great Again? Tune in to this new chapter in the life of the feisty, forthright, yet often misunderstood woman, a real American just trying to make it after all!

NO, I got a great idea: Roseanne Barr and Mel Gibson and Chevy Chase and Steven Seagal can make a movie called The Deplorables with Ted Nugent composing the rock score. They can save America by fighting Political Correctness.

OH she just got fired by her agent (ICM – which is a HUGELY important agency). Wow what a fast-moving story!

[matthew_tanner]

That’s her patented “I got drunk and fell asleep with my head in the toilet” hairstyle.

[yskov]

I suspect that the three-hour lag between the tweet and her cancellation was just the lawyers’ dotting the i’s and crossing the t’s. She was already on thin ice.

@evave2

OH she just got fired by her agent

Whoa! That Is huge.

[evave2]

I just turned on MSNBC and they announced it like a minute ago.

@birdford

Oh and also, don’t be a racist asshole.

Right. There’s no walking this one back or apologizing. It’s not a misstep or ‘I misspoke’(or mistweeted). Straight ahead in-your-face FU racism. If she was being honest she would have doubled down.

[mike_in_houston]

So fast that the Russian trolls have had a hard time catching up…

[evave2]

ALSO this was Sara Gilbert’s show. She got the band back together so to say and now she is out over 1yr of planning.

BUT saying that Gilbert should’ve known what Barr is like (of course, what was it 10yr they worked together) and they could’ve done a show that was about the family after Roseanne died or something.
