Roseanne Barr Is a Complete Nut; Trump supporters should think twice before applauding her.

A challenge of this populist age is separating authentic outsiders with usefully unorthodox political perspectives from rank kooks looking to exploit a moment of open-mindedness.

Roseanne Barr provides a good study.

The popular reboot of her blue-collar sitcom after a two-decade slumber has been widely heralded as a populist victory by much of the pro-Trump Right, given the decision to cast Roseanne

RE: The National Review, full of Commie NeverTrumper nuts, is one to judge anyone

That is an OVER-GENERALIZATION. Read the article and tell me which part you disagree with.

All of it is a sinister attack on President Trump by proxy. With that I disagree with you and the intent of the article, and I support Roseanne Barr and her show.

I am not so comfortable with Sara Gilbert as executive producer but, so far so good.

And oh yeah, why is this considered an anti-Trump article? It is about Roseanne Barr.

Just to make it clear. The article tells everyone that Roseanne is a crazy nut. Roseanne voted for President Trump, ipso facto, Trump voters are crazy nuts.

Reading comprehension doesn't seem to be your forte.

I think it is YOU who have a reading problem, not me. Please re-read all the nutty conspieacy theories she indulges in, including 9/11 conspiracies and re-read about the party she chose to run under when she ran for President and tell me whether or not the author is focusing on her suppirt for Trump when wethe uses the term “nut”.

The so called sinister attack by proxy is simply you imagining that the author hates Trump when the clear focus of the article is Roxanne’s past statements and behavior.

In other words, any reservations about Trump is now to be equated with hatred instead of a simple warning for supporters to be discerning.

I watched the premiere, I didn’t intend to but I turned the tv on and it was on and and I liked the original ok so I watched it.

I don’t confuse actors with character’s, Dixie Carter was a Republican who played a feminazi lib on “Designing Women”. Most actors are liberal dirt and if you focus on that there’s nothing to watch but John Wayne movies.

Barr was the extreme-left Peace and Freedom Party’s nominee for President, I’m still shocked she supported (and still does?) Trump and I don’t know what her deal is, people jumping around the political spectrum is weird. But whatever.

I think’s it pretty neat her iconic character is a Trump supporter as long as they don’t make her into a “Denny Crane” parody/fool which she wasn’t the premiere, which was ok. Female quasi-Archie Bunker would be ok. I’m glad the ratings were good and that’s something we can take as a good sign if it was indeed for the reasons we believe. I honestly can’t think of a show that has any other character (who wasn’t a cartoon villain) that supports the President.

The son has a black daughter and a wife off in the army, that was weird. And I didn’t even know there was a younger son, he’s also off in the army and unseen. John Goodman seemed like he was on tranquilizers.

“She’s a great comedian.”

From her stand-up days back in the ‘80s when she was very fat, I never forgot one line — when she said she suffered from “anorexia dyslexia”. It struck me funny.

Good point on actors. One of my all time favorites is Sam Elliot on “The Ranch,” sort of a modern day Archie Bunker.

But unlike “Archie,” Sam Elliot is just genuinely lovable.

On “Justified,” Conservative Nick Searcy played Art, the boss. But Walton Goggins, who played the bad guy, was a hard core lefty who once offered Nick an “Obama fist bump,” which he declined.

I like Goggins. I’m not surprised he’s a libtard though, he played a transsexual prostidude on “Sons of Anarchy”.
