Re: Roseanne returns
I thought it might be that theme, but it almost seems too reckless for any celebrity to suggest such a thing, almost beyond comprehension. Not that there's anything wrong with actual apes? 
I have subsequently heard that her outburst was more than a short tweet, and included a number of derogatory swipes. Anyway, good riddance Roseanne. Who is the woman that Trump despises? Someone like Roseanne, but can't recall. Like on the tip of my mind all evening...

What I don't get is the people who are also blaming the other actors on the show for what she said.

Re: Roseanne returns
I personally don't care what someone'spolitics are. However if you're in the public eye you should be able to present your views in an appropriate way without resorting to name calling and the juvenile behaviour. This kind of thing is one of the reasons why I dislike social media so much. If so-called leaders and people in the media behave this way what is it teaching young people?

Re: Roseanne returns
Rosie! Thank you. Have been racking my brain trying to remember who it was, I knew it sounded like Roseane. That makes sense now. Not a fan of either, in fact don't think I could even differentiate. Although politically, Rosie appears to be the brighter of the two!

Ambien's manufacturer tweeted a superb response to that bizarre claim:

Re: Roseanne returns
Ah...I just read her account. I find it hard to follow twitter - I can rarely work out who's saying what to whom
but I found this snippet after someone picked her up on the earlier comment - "The people that signed on knew she was a racist and it didnt bother them at all." So it's more the tweet saying she has no sympathy for their loss of work.

Re: Roseanne returns
I always liked the show and if the revival worked, it seems a shame.
In the spirit of the opening post on this thread, how about replacing Roseanne with someone else? It's been done.
