“Roseanne” fans have called on HBO to fire “Real Time” host Bill Maher in response to the comedian’s jokes that President Trump was part orangutan.
ABC quickly canceled the successful “Roseanne” reboot Tuesday hours after its star, Roseanne Barr, posted a racist tweet about former President Obama’s aide Valerie Jarrett. The tweet said Jarrett, who is African-American and born in Iran, is like the “Muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby.” Barr apologized for the tweet before her show was canceled. The next day, she appeared to blame the prescription pill Ambien for the tweet.
Following ABC's announcement, Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA, a right-wing nonprofit group, tweeted, “Wait, Bill Maher makes comparisons to Trump being a gorilla all the time? They get classified as ‘jokes’ by the media and he is of course allowed to keep his show and not have his life ruined. The difference? Bill Maher is a liberal, Roseanne is a free-thinking Trump supporter.”

Lol! Does to me, too.

It doesn’t work that way. You have to be part of the minority victim set to get people fired. Black victim privelege, etc.
Does Disney own HBO?
From what I've gathered, seems to me her support for Trump was more out of a personal distain for Hillary than true support for him. The woman is a pig. She has no genuine morals. Just 6 years ago she chose a leading figure in the communist movement to be her running mate. She also came out in support of communist-driven Occupy Wall Street. She's always saying and doing crazy or disgusting stuff. We don't need people like her on our side. Having that mindless nut as a prominent proponent for Trump will do nothing but make us look bad and give his critics more ammo to go after him and his legit supporters, claiming she is a "typical" supporter, which she certainly is not.

Right turn, Clyde!
I see you saw...
There was an old girl named Roseanne;
Whose reincarnated show got the can.
She could have stayed funky,
But instead, refed a monkey.
Just LOOK at what’s hit the fan!!
“But do you remember anything about the ‘Peace and Freedom Party’?”
But do you remember when Reagan and Trump were Democrats?
Do you remember when Reagan and Trump were Democrats?
Well heck if that’s the case, I better never get insulted because it’s not fair, as my people the Irish were discriminated against when they came here and some were slaves I think. Also my Jewish side what about all the anti semitism my people have endured? They were not only made slaves but slaughtered by the millions. Damn. Why aren’t I protected from criticism? Phk this society.
Of course. But they were never intimately hooked up with the communist left like Barr was, running for president with a leading member of the movement as her VP pick. In any case, she's too stupid to have any serious, thought out positions. The lunatic idiot actually wanted to legalize ALL drugs. Besides that, she's a volgar, disgusting pig, who will do nothing but make it easy for his critics to attack him and his legit/rational supporters, claiming she's a 'typical' supporter of his.
I think that’s true of bananas as well..
I remember old Southern whites had a thing about how just a little bit of black blood in your family history was a scandalous thing. VJ, if I understand correctly, has one black grandfather in her genealogy. She really doesn’t appear “black”, but the modern day racists have a new take on the “one drop of black blood” way of thinking.

If memory serves, Lady Macduff's career came to an abrupt and unfortunate end as well.
