Trump has placed Iran deal in the news. Valerie Jarrett is the #1 driver of Obama’s Iran policy ... for obvious reasons... she is Iranian ... Shia Iranian.

I don’t know if this was Roseanne’s thinking. But it is the thinking of anyone who knows anything about the Iran deal.

These companies are just letting us customers know who the hypocrites are.

I guess the truth hurts perhaps if she picked a horse’s ass that would have been acceptable also appropriate by the way but I guess it’s okay for them to call our president a Nazi that’s okay that’s not racist

So will Hulu, and co stop showing us programs with certain racist words in them regardless if they are said by a black man to another black man, ? Will they stop showing us sex, and nudity too, or does the left yet again decide what is insulting when it suits them?

VJ’s response “this should be a teaching moment”
Spoken like a true dictator, more like a warning to whoever might dare do anything similar. The democrats/media will make you disappear.

Fight back.

Demand they reinstate.

This is fascism on steroids.

* Paramount Network - dead, dying, never watch, ruined by Viacom

* TV Land - dead, garbage, couldn’t pay me enough to watch, another product turned to crap by Viacom

* CMT - dying, viewership declining, worthless, no longer Country Music Television, ruined by Viacom takeover

Who runs Viacom? Sumner Redstone, a LIBERAL DEMOCRAT.

Liberal democrats are dying, they have nothing of value to offer. Social Media and internet platforms are causing a historic decentralization of media and entertainment. Redstone democrats are on their way to extinction.

‘...after Racist Tweet’? - was not a racist ‘tweet’. Planet of the Apes is about a society that was stuck on stupid. That parallels Islam.

Roseanne will get a much better offer from a much friendlier venue. Americans want Roseanne back in their homes. She’s willing to commit and go back to work. A way will be found. I am not worried in the slightest and look to the recent action by Viacom as a blessing.

It was not a raciest tweet, valjar is not even black.

Yes she is. She was born in Iran, but both her parents were black.

Yes it was Michael Richards but he is a key figure in most episodes.

And Jerry said he would no longer perform at colleges because kids were overly sensitive about things he joked about.

Next, cities will make it illegal to own them.

Sitting and staring out of the hotel window
Got a tip they're gonna kick the door in again
Like to watch 'Roseanne' before I travel
But if you got a warrant I guess you're gonna come in.

You have to give it to the left. When they go in for the kill, they move quick and completely.

Yep and the right still plays by Queensbury rules and expects equal treatment ("What about Joy-Ann Reid? What about Michelle Wolf?")

There are no rules that the left honors and there is no equal treatment so do not expect any. I knew Roseanne was f***ed the moment I read her tweet.

I think Antenna TV or one of the other retro channels was broadcasting the Cosby Show a couple months ago. His crime was far worse. In fact, it was an actual crime, not saying something mean.

Yes she is. She was born in Iran, but both her parents were black.

In addition, she has a LONGGGGG family tree of radical leftwing communists including parents, grandparents, in-laws, ....

It’s an insane overreaction. Like Soviet Union. The tweet was her personal comment. It shows how much we are like “1984.”

It’s playing for free on Roku’s “Filmrise” service.

Filmrise is also free, and offers that as well as many sitcoms in their entirety. And most important ? It plays “Single Handed” the Irish Garda drama that is visual CRACK.
