In a fitting epilogue to one of the year’s most grating non-scandal scandals, disgraced racist Roseanne Barr has called upon her Trumpian instincts to denounce the credibility of the mainstream media.
In a pair of tweets, Barr announced plans to tell her story in a TV interview, then canceled said plans hours later because she couldn’t possibly get a fair go in the media. Who knows? They might try to confront her with the things she’s said and done — very unfair.

“To my wonderful fans who I treasure and love-who have carried me these past weeks when I was 2 weak 2 carry myself: I will be doing a TV interview this week. I’ll tell u about it tomorrow!” she wrote.
How about we take this to the next level?

By the next morning, she was singing a different tune:
“After a lot of thought, I decided that I won’t be doing any TV interviews, too stressful & untrustworthy 4 me & my fans. I’m going to film it myself & post it on my youtube channel in the next week-the entire explanation of what happened & why! I love you all-sign up & get ready.”

What could be more trustworthy than a self-produced, self-edited, cherrypicked “interview” meant to paint her in the best possible light?
2018 needs a lot of things — Roseanne propaganda isn’t one of them.

In other words, she told them not to ask her about her show getting cancelled, and they said that was literally the only reason to have her on.
So now, like a good little Trumpster she’s playing the victim. Because in Trump world, it isn’t the rac-ist whose the bully, it’s the people who call them on it.

Or she asked them not to mention any of her previous tweets… Or her excuses for the tweet or… the list is long here.

Big surprise, a lot of snowflakery and fragility in her whining. You screwed up, Roseanne, so own it!

She was a racist long before she called a black woman an ape. She can try to explain away this one tweet, but there’s still plenty to show that she’s an all-around bigot.

If she goes away completely, we might begin to miss her. Or not.
Kangol
No one will miss her. She disappeared for a while and no one was clamoring for this anti-Semitic clown to reappear, except maybe her agent and greedy TV execs.
Bob LaBlah
By September she will be a special correspondent for Fox News. Be patient.

Well, like Trump, she blames everyone else for her losing temperament. Donnie and Roseanne will never admit to losing and being weak, even though they are. I can’t wait to find out how the Trump/Putin meeting turns out, Trump wants to keep it a secret, but he will say the meeting went very well and Vlady was Mr. Nicey Nice!

The meeting has to be secret. How else is Trump supposed to get his new orders?

She needs to go away for two years (or more) and attempt a comeback later. Right now people are still angry and the more crap she says, the more angry they get. She needs to vanish for awhile, take her meds, lose the alt-right conspiracy theorist boyfriend and get herself together. She must adore the spotlight or something. You know who that sounds like.
Tête Carrée
She’s hoping to make a new career as a YouTube star. Watch your back PewDiePie.

So Like Trump Roseanne is a fascist and wants to see Trump turn our nation into a fascist dictatorship? It seems so. Well, we KNOW exactly who she is , and she’s just another one of Trump’s uneducated deplorables !
