Roseanne, yes you are stupid, but we’re not. Do you really think that disowning merely one of the thousands of hateful racist tweets you’ve made over the years should just wipe the slate clean? How about you go back and reread all of them, and apologize the same way for each and every one? It will take you at least a year, and make you a little less stupid.
Someone needs to intervene and take away her Twitter account. I’m serious about this. Having Twitter available to someone with no judgement like Roseanne is as bad as dangling a bottle of vodka in front of a recovering alcoholic.
ETA: trump is a similar case. Obviously neither his family nor his party are going to stop him from tweeting himself into a stupor. Instead, they’ll just cringe a little and hand him the keys to the car.
Donald Trump is a child of Dennis Miller. They both do stand-up with a really angry right-wing twist that is slowly losing its appeal until the sudden drop-off and disappearance into irrelevance.
That just reinforces the simple truth that she has no business having a major TV show. Bipolar disorder doesn’t make her racist. It reveals her underlying convictions. I realize that going off meds creates horrible behavior. I realize the meds themselves are quite unpleasant. I also realize that the psychiatric establishment doesn’t understand as much about these diseases as they think that they do. The TV executives should not offer a major platform like this to someone who is out of control. Period. And like other people who are out of control, she will have to face consequences if and when she comes to a better frame of mind.
Sarah Sanders should treat Roseanne to a nice sitdown dinner at a restaurant that both of them would be welcomed at, like Hannibal Lecter’s Country Home Cookin’ Buffet!
Roseanne dear, you just threw away a multi-million dollar payday for a twice-in-a-lifetime gig by opening up your diseased yap. Yes! You ARE stupid for God’s sake!
