Roseanne has been playing that card for decades.

Jesco goes to Hollywood.

Could she sue ABC’s breech of contract based on Americans With Disabilities Act? She said the “tweet” was an adverse reaction to a prescribed medication - Ambirin. Also heard on radio she acknowledges psychological illness — multiple personality syndrome... Did ABC make sufficient accommodation to this known medical condition?

Love to see liberals being beaten up with their own legislation!

Oh No She Didn't. She played the Jew Card?

If they are playing the race card, she might as well play the Identity group card too.

Who said anything about fighting fair?

Actually we are running low on spies right now and there were none with a sense of humour the deep state could squeeze into the writers office at at ABC. They were already thin with lesbian suprgirl and climate change shows.

Nope. Rosanne had to go if control was not possible.

......if R/B fights on “breach of contract” (winning depends on how strong the morality clause is)......

Morality clause? That's gotta be a joke. Since when did the marauding liberal media give a fig about "morality?

...ABC will probably throw a few million at her to make her go away, ...

Demand a public apology also.

Reminds me of the Don Imus case where he was thrown off the air and had his radio show canceled over his infamous "nappy-headed hoes" comment about the Rutgers University women's basketball team.

He sued CBS for breach of contract, and they settled out of court. Terms of the settlement were not disclosed, but the rumors are that Imus did very well at the end of the day.

She is very far from one of us. Starting with abortion. But she’ll do. She should fight back.

She’s a comedian. Jokes/humor is protected speech. Now if Roseanne had called Ivanka Trump a “cunt” THEN they would have grounds.

Google search headline

“Samantha Bee calls Ivanka Trump a ‘cunt”

She’s not a racist. Time to double-down and fight back — for the good of us all. Stop the PC virtue signaling.

I’d like to know how what she tweeted is considered racist. Seems to me that being Muslim is your religion not a race and the planet of the apes references a series of movies that featured fictional characters. Appears to be fake outrage on the left as usual.

[[(just kidding, but how do I unsee it?)]]

Considering the vile nasty crap that liberals say about trump- evanka, Melania etc, and no one getting fired for gt them- I’d say the morality clause isn’t very strong- used to be there were certain words you could not say on TV- single beds were a no no between married couples- (had to have to separate beds) men could not kiss women that weren’t their spouse in the movie- etc- Now we have ‘comedians’ holding up bloody heads and using the most vile disgusting words imaginable as common every day language on their shows

ABC is just playing the selective moral outrage game because a black person/muslim was involved as the ‘victim’- Had it been said about a Christian black conservative person- ABC would not have canceled the show

Yep. The other cast members, writers, producers, key grips and such will want theirs as well.

Either way, my guess is that ABC will probably throw a few million at her to make her go away, the last thing they want is this fiasco to drag on in the courts....

She has to do something to get into court first. Right now it's just talk.

“I’d like to know how what she tweeted is considered racist.”

Uncle Tom Obama’s Iranian master ValJar has some black parentage.

It became unacceptable during the Fraud’s reign for a publication to include anyone who might be “black” in the same edition as any simian.

Here’s what will happen.

Sara Gilbert is not only an actress on the show, but the producer. How she convinced the network and the production company for this position....is an unknown. But in this process....she hired up a number of SJW writers for the show. To some minor degree....she did allow Roseanne some moments to press on stories, but if you notice back four weeks ago....Sara mandated that NO Trump mention would occur in the 2019 season. She was already modeling the show to be a SJW concept.

So I think Roseanne figured all of this out, and did the correct thing...faking out ABC enough on fake racism stuff, and getting the series cut. Or...did they just invent the creation (the “Jackie” show)?

Rumor has it that talks started up yesterday on Jacky, Dan and producer Gilbert moving onto a series without Roseanne. I don’t think John Goodman will agree to the angle, and he will be killed off as well as a character.

But I think Roseanne already has a new show idea in the making and likely talking to Fox. My suggestion? Make it a show about a dead mother from the heartland area (yeah, like the Roseanne character) who has died but God won’t open the gates for her, and she has to return...probably in the form of some black mother who has four kids who need mature leadership. Yep, Roseanne emerges and the second Gilbert creation flounders.

That’s my prediction. ABC took the bait, and lost their big chance.

Other ABC employees have said worse things both on and odd air and they weren’t punished. Her suit would be disparate behavior by ABC in her punishment.
