She’ll leave Twitter to work on her rendition of The Star Spangled Banner. That will please the rubes.

Go away.

You were funny once but not that funny even then and you have lost what tiny little fucked up mind you used to have and now most of us just want you to go away.

And shame on you John Goodman, for being part of this mess.

I’m sure the mainstream media will be all over Ms. Barr for going after Ms. Garrett’s looks and race after attacking Michelle Wolf, who actually did neither.

“Barr tweeted in response to a thread of comments about the article saying: ‘muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby=vj,’ a clear attack on Jarrett’s race as an African-American.”

Oh, please TPM – stop seeing racism everywhere!

Poor Roseanne’s tweet simply voices her “economic anxiety” as a “White working class” voter.

Just imagine if an AA celebrity called white people some incredibly offensive term … gee, it would probably have a similar backlash to an AA athlete quietly taking a knee in a football game. That is, barely any reaction, right?

I don’t want to say her rendition is bad, but when I heard it, I couldn’t tell what it was to know if I should kneel. Plus I was busy covering my ears.

Like when Kanye West said W doesn’t like black people. Nobody blinked an eye…

You weren’t joking about her looks, Rosanne, you were denigrating her race with one of the oldest of racist dog whistles.

Please, do quit Twitter. And quit the rest of public life as well.

Any moment now, Trump will defend her by calling her a very fine person.

Has Barr’s rebooted show been picked up for another season?

Yes. They gave it two seasons to begin with from what I can tell.

Is it possible to boycott a show I’ve never watched?

“Bad joke?” “Bad joke??” C’mon, it didn’t even resemble a joke! It’s a non-apology apology. Typical for their ilk, won’t own their responsibility.

She’s a dumbass. Period.

She’s a vulgar dumbass and always was.

What’s even better are the media outlets who are reporting that “many feel this was a racist tweet.” Who the hell (besides racists) doesn’t think that?
