    I lean right and it is complete bullshit if he doesn't have a job over this. I don't have any inside info. Maybe he is a total dick. On it's face, him losing millions of dollars for what he believes in is pretty inspiring.

    There isn't a queue. I'm just saying take away all the past and how many people have been fucked over and lost their jobs. Put that all aside and Roseanne did this to herself.

    Now, we'll never know if ABC found these words themselves if they would have covered it up to make money. Publicly they had no choice.

    >>> I think you are correct, but it pleases so many!

    >>> Perhaps you are correct, but I would not give a shit if they did not fire her. They will likely replace her with a game show no one watches, I might be inclined to let the ratings determine the fate of the show. There does seem to be a little evil in catering to this blood lust the left has for non conformity.

    Of course I could be entirely wrong. If they have a potential No 1 hit show waiting in the wings for a time slot.

    ABC already has a spinoff series with the same cast and crew sans Roseanne...the crew working the show is staffed with A list professionals...ABC would rather invest in the spinoff than pay 10's of millions for the 13 episodes they've already filmed and the writing of next season's..they'll turn this into John Goodman's show...question is how they kill off Roseanne in the series...either way I'll never watch it

    I wonder if Trump knows that this Kim isn't the leader of North Korea?

    I don't believe I was either excusing one or condemning the other.

    Don't you know, they are all clumped together now and it's called forumsplaining.

    ABC really messed up. She could be the modern Archie Bunker. She even looks like him.

    He'll probably demand she take down her missiles and expose her launching pads in exchange for protection and prosperity, but he doesn't use protection

    Let me fosplain it to ya.....

    I've been thinking about those idiotic words this afternoon. If I say something I believe to be true and someone tells me I'm mansplaining, wouldn't it make sense that I'd take that to mean women must be stupid?

    It’s kinda wild to me all the people that jumped all over Roseanne when they could. The pitchforks came out over a comment she made which was wrong but it wasn’t something that should attract this sort of behavior from “progressives”. I swear people act like they have never fucked up. As soon as somebody does the jump all over them. She already apologized multiple times, what else do you wanna do? Oh just sit and call her a racist and a bigot over and over again? Yeah that will get things done. I like Roseanne. She’s a comedy legend. She has some whacky conspiracies I disagree with. She hasn’t some views I disagree with it. At least when she has spoken out against things, she says it from the heart and it’s not some fabricated horse shit you see. Tom Arnold out here getting the most attention he has gotten out of this which is pathetic and hes just capitalizing off this. She’s a pioneer for women in general and in comedy. I’m not gonna let a dumb comment she made ruin it all. I’m not gonna try to character assassinate anybody unless they REALLY fuck up. Unfortunately the media doesn’t get that. They go for the throat. That’s fine though, she will be on Rogans podcast Friday and I will listen because I know she’s not “crazy”. Crazy is just the word to dismiss people and conversation. Much like saying somebody is a racist. It’s a way to shut down dialogue as opposed to having it. I’m not with that.

    When I say she's crazy it is because she should have known better like Tony Rockahara (spelling?) in Pulp Fiction.

    Yeah she should of but I wouldn’t call her crazy for it. I remember seeing that on twitter when it happened and she was in a heated debate about politics. I think she just had enough and said something dumb out of anger. What I don’t get is that white people can be clowned and made fun of yet nobody cares. That shit is constantly passed off as jokes and it’s accepted. It doesn’t bother me but what does are the weird self hating white people in this country. Also people who wanna just scream racism and bigot all the time. I guarantee you in the privacy of their own homes, the same people with the pitchforks have said some shit they would never say publicly. Some shit they have done or said that was wrong and they know it yet when they see somebody else make a mistake they jump on that person. That shit bothers me. It’s that morale superiority bullshit. I know damn well I have said inappropriate shit as jokes in my private life and also publicaly. I’m not gonna act fake and sit here and act perfect. Blows my mind people like to do that. The outrage groups are out and in full affect, the PC police is out, everybody run!

    Also these days too many people say what they know others will want to hear for brownie points. Fuck those people. That’s why I like Roseanne and other comics. They have kept it real through their careers. Dave Chappelle made trans jokes, some people went at him but not a lot because he’s black. Louis ck has made racial jokes. Other comics like bill burr walk on that line of saying non PC shit and I love it because it’s real. It’s not pretend. Everybody wants to act perfect these days and everybody wants to be liked and that’s what bothers me about society these days. We have no individual opinions on things. People are scared to ruffle feathers just because their true opinion might be controversial. Context and intent isn’t even a thing anymore. Back to Roseanne, what she said was a dumb comment. That’s it. After that you could see the show getting cancelled the next day. I knew that would happen because that’s how society works today. Doesn’t matter, Roseanne still has millions and these “morally superior” people like Tom Arnold will continue to be bitter for having a shitty career. So make that money off interviews about Roseanne for now Tom Arnold because that’s all you got, plus whatever you got from Roseanne when you divorced. Sorry ass dude
