I don't see that as blaming Ambien. If I said I was drunk texting and am an idiot for doing so would your takeaway be that I was blaming alcohol? It read like she was giving context to her ridiculously poor decision making. I don't know honestly I don't really care enough to continue on discussing it. She was an idiot, paid the price for it, and now can fade back into obscurity. I more was commenting on how every company has to have a social media manager who likes to be edgy. This is one of those moments where I feel old as I just can't back social media. It brings out the worst in people especially twitter where they can hide behind an alias and throw pot shots at everyone. I am amazed though at how many people can stick their foot in their mouth in less than 140 characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDBillzFan Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 23 hours ago, DrDawkinstein said: The original show back in the day was great. Hilarious, and pushed a lot of progressive/liberal boundaries. I was looking forward to the reboot, even with her red-hat character, because I figured she would once again do a decent job of bridging that divide. Maybe show that the extremists on the right could come back to earth on some things, while also showing their point of view. Especially with folks like John Goodman, Sarah Gilbert, and Wanda Sykes aboard. But, NOPE. The whole new season sucked, and Roseanne has gone fully off the rails. Instead of subtly bridging any gaps, she merely widened the divide. The only thing funny about this entire debacle is the irony that she said she was doing this season to prove that Trump supporters werent racist bigots, and then lost her show for being exactly a racist bigot. Good riddance, you disappointment. Interesting take. I think you and I were watching two different shows. Yes, she did the stupid kitty hat thing with the over-the-top character of Laurie Metcalf, but in spite of her character being a devout Trump supporter, she had a black granddaughter, and a grandson who dressed like a girl and wore makeup. Not only did she go to bat for the boy at school to dress as he wants, but she took a racist grocery store checkout girl to the shed for mocking a Muslim woman on food stamps...after paying for the woman's food when she barely had money of her own. If that didn't show you 'extremists on the right' coming back to earth on some things, it may be you just didn't see what you wanted to see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keukasmallies Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 But the late night mumblers can deride, insult and mock Trump and his family night after night with no reaction from the MSM, nor the networks that promote the nightly attacks.

IMO, Bee's comments are grounds for getting canned too. If a man called any woman a C*** on television, not to mention it's the POTUS daughter he's directing it at, not only would that show be cancelled but his career would all but be over. I have no idea why any woman would call another woman that name, ESPECIALLY in this alleged #metoo climate we're all marinating in. It's harassment all the same. I used to like Samantha Bee when she first started out but she ended up like Colbert where the only shtick they have (or want to have) is politics and if everyone is doing politics, you keep crossing lines to remain relevant. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other thing that kind of goes in the face of the #metoo movement is that she said something to the effect of put on a low cut top and waltz if front of your dad, which objectifies women terribly. Here's the actual quote: “He listens to you! Put on something something tight and low cut and tell your father to f*cking stop it! Tell him it was an Obama thing, and see how it goes!” Bee suggested.
