   One of Spanky's best representatives has let her mouth overload her ass, resulting in the cancelation of the controversial remake. At least some companies have kept their integrity intact through this disastrous administration.

      I don't protest sciencteogy because I need a lawyer. I don't protest Zionist much because I need a job.

            Barr said...  muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby=vj.”
            
            I don't get it, then Barr apologies a half hour later, not worth destroying a 9 billion investment on a comedy show. Where Trump in action is facist and racist to millions of people everyday.
            
            Trump placed a lawsuit against Bill Maher seeking $5 million.  If Trump could prove he was not the son of an orangutan.

               I like the way you worded that: racist to millions of people.  Not necessarily in truth and fact, but in the perception of people too gullible to look beyond the hatred they are being fed.

                  Nothing so beautifully magical about Trumps action of Fascism. Isn't that how Hitler gained control? Don't forget that certain groups were blamed for ALL the national problems in Germany back then, like the Jews, Gypsies, the mentally ill and physically handicapped, and atheist. All while "wrapping himself in the flag and holding a bible.
                  
                  Today, Trump is blaming ALL national problems on Latinos, Muslims and other minority groups. Where's the difference, other than the groups being discriminated against?
                  Not one other race other than whites voted for him. He was selected President and America people lost by a false democracy by 3 million votes.
                  
                  Since I don't understand hate, I love to love Trump out of the majority hair. Just because he lied to them hugely.

                              Hitler and Nazi model after AMERICANS two greatest genocides in human history. Black slavery and the wipeout of American natives. Can America face up to the terrible reality of slavery and genocides in the way that Germany has faced up to the Holocaust?  - probably not and why their empire will collapse.  I know from building native history displays..
                              
                              The only reason America attack a white dominate country like Germany. Was it was America's whites job to own the world like how the British attempted. NWO has far greater reaching earth powers than any empire has ever had. It just a fun game for Bankers, oil kings hiring phycopaths police and troops. A great void of a good conscious vs a much better good conscious collective of the majority of people. NWO is destroying the planet and people lives, void of a conscious.
                              
                              Actually Germany has faced up very well, where US never has. Germany has owned up to their mistakes and one of the happiest countries in the world for it. Plus a world leader in natural environmental energy.

                                       What do you know about history? JFK was a progressive relative to the time period in which he lived. Trying to compare 1960s America to this country today is half baked. Back then, some one like Trump would have been the official court jester.

         CNN ended its deal with Kathy Griffin after she caused outrage over a video clip she posted showing her holding a fake decapitated head made to look like President Donald Trump.
         
         The news network announced the decision in a tweet from its Communications Department.
         
         "CNN has terminated our agreement with Kathy Griffin to appear on our New Year's Eve program," the tweet reads.
         
         Griffin has hosted CNN's New Year's Eve coverage with network anchor Anderson Cooper since 2007.
         
         And this?
         
         Several venues have canceled shows featuring comic Kathy Griffin in the wake of her presidential beheading controversy.
         
         In addition to being fired from CNN and dropped as spokeswoman for footstool maker Squatty Potty, the two-time Emmy- and Grammy-winning comedian has had five gigs in her Celebrity Run-Ins Tour axed following her inflammatory Tyler Shields pictorial that showcased her holding up a bloody likeness of President Trump's decapitated head.

The insurance industry was second, at $157 million. At 17.5 percent of G.D.P. in 2014.  Sorry to burst your bubble with these actual facts.

            What else could anyone possibly expect from Mr. Trump? He's a 71 year old idiot plain and simple, and if he wasn't so mentally unstable and incredibly dangerous, he would simply be ignored for the bad joke that he truly is:

               Yeah but he’s a billionaire and president - what are your accomplishments Jake?  I mean other than being able to parrot the opinions of others? And here’s more lobbying info for you - facts not opinions of course from The Hill - health-care groups remained steady in the higher echelon of spenders on advocacy last year, with the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA), Blue Cross Blue Shield, the American Hospital Association and the American Medical Association all making the top 10

                  Gee Ralph, how did you get a look at Spanky's tax returns? No one else but Mueller has seen them so far, or you simply taking lying Spanky's word for his  being a billionaire? I suspect the latter....

      Randy, a lot of these networks are not as outraged as we would think when things like this happen. Rosanne is no longer a cash cow for the network, she isjust a cow. I think that her format has lost its appeal and her days were numbered anyway, this incident just made it easier for ABC to give her  the boot.
      
      I could be wrong, ratings data seems to say something else. I just don't remember network executives not trying to blow over things like this when they clearly cannot afford to lose.

   I agree with RJ Schwartz. Simply because the most irrational and foolish voices on the left may be (in your opinion) speaking for Pelosi, Hillary or their ilk; to assume Rosanne represents Trump is just another of your ill guided opinions.

   Roseanne is now blaming ambien for her racist remarks, but the make of the pill says they make no medications which causes racism in its users. Not even a good try, Rosie!   Yep a true Spanky fan and follower.  She is a true representative of the right.

      I wonder which sleep aide she's gonna blame this disgraceful thing on: But don't cry for her Argentina, given their track record, she'll probably be a fox channel contributor soon: After all, fox viewers are her only base left and they recently reinstated hate filled creepy Laura Ingraham's show:

               Patriotism or Nationaism is way over rated.

   Spanky just tweeted about Roseanne's show being cancelled and asks why ABC hasn't apologized to him for some not-mentioned slights against him. What an ignoramus who never apologizes for any insults he has made to others no matter how bad.  Look up hypocrite in the dictionary and there will be a picture of Spanky  beside the definition.

   Roseanne Barr ,   a creation of ABC , a character of ABC creation ,   a story line of ABC ,  a revival series of ABC with a politically sensationalized storyline ,  and now an ABC cancelled primetime program ?
   
   Now ,  Question ,  How exactly is this Trumps fault anyway ? Was Kathy Griffin Trumps fault ?  Michelle Wolff,  Sarah Silverman , Bill Mahers , Alec Baldwin ,  Rosie O'donnell , Wanda Sykes , All of these two dollar comics are creations of their own Holly wood .exec's   They have brought out the worst human traits of racial prejudice , bigotry ,  rising and falling popularity in  shows ,............liberals and conservatives alike have apparently forgotten the national anthem Barr controversy, these people  are fools from and of hollywood  alone and represents no one on the right .
