Discussion: ABC Cancels 'Roseanne' After Barr Sends Racist Tweet About Obama Staffer

There were two Becky Conners. Why not two Roseanne Conners? I hereby nominate Sarah Huckabee Sanders as the new Roseanne!

Maybe, just maybe, people will understand that actions DO have consequences.

The real story will be if ABC pays out her contract or voids it and is willing to end up in court. Likely there is language that gives them paths to void the contract but no matter, for now she is gone. For now.

See ya racist conspiracy-mongering crazy lady. Crawl back under the lava rock in Hawaii you just emerged from…

What Roseanne said is no more racist and offensive than several tweets, speeches and actions of Donald Trump, Jeff Sessions, Paul Ryan and many more Trump advisors and so called establishment Republicans. Heck, Trump’s choice to replace Ryan as Speaker of the House claims to be “David Dukes without the baggage”. David Dukes without the baggage is by definition a Clansman with the hood still on/yet to reveal himself.

Or to put another way, we should not be surprised that instead of doing her show, Roseanne will have a new gig working for Trump on some commission to study racism against Whites.

She’s genuinely nuts and working with her can’t be easy anyway.

It will be interesting to see if Trump can avoid commenting on Barr. Then again, he might do it just because he thinks it plays well with his base.

This is the star of the show using the N-word with intent in public and then claiming it was just a joke. (and yes heap on a large shovel full of religious bigotry as well). It’s not political, it is personal.

True, but we could drop quite a few pounds, exercise more, eat properly, read some real books, turn off the TV, drink and smoke far less AND TAKE OFF THAT GODDAMNED BALLCAP, THIS IS AN UPSCALE RESTAURANT, NOT A FRICKING DIVE BAR!!! GRRRR!!!

Also. cilantro farmers are the Devil’s spawn. Just sayin’…

I’d love to watch a series about a Florence Foster Jenkins character, updated to the present time, with Meryl Streep playing the eponymous role.

We’ll know Trump is in trouble when he asks Rosie O’Donnell for help.

Well, Ms. Barr, now you’re free to tweet whatever you damned well please. Honestly, you deserved this – but not the other cast members.

Of course you’d have to whittle while watching.

That storm will begin with

“Tim Allen > Roseanne”

After he gave her full support I shall enjoy listening to him explain why racist tweets are OK

They asked for it. Do you feel those working in the Trump White House merit sympathy?

  1. that show is dead. Though it could be recast or shopped elsewhere, it can’t go on without her (at least not as a comedy).

  2. Kanye should call his office #ettd
