Agreed. This really was one of the most predictable melt-downs of the Trump Era (perhaps the only thing more predictable is that Trump himself will melt down three times a week). I saw two or three stories today about why ABC was able to move to fast on this - they all implied that they had

What Roseanne has said and done in recent years has been consistent... her Tweets today were neither new nor worse than things she’s posted prior. This is who she is, emboldened — maybe — by the racist in the White House, but this is who she is. What is going to suck is ABC will be forgiven for

Being racist doesn't qualify you as mentally ill, but my sense is Roseanne is not racist 24/7. It oozes out of her when she cycles into a mental illness phase. Like maybe she is off her meds or developed resistance to them. On Tue, May 29, 2018, 10:34 AM Kevin M. wrote: > Racism is better
