The Robert Mueller Investigation
I feel like things have reached a turning point. And the Rosanne conflagration is what did it. It really proved, in a nutshell, exactly what the Trumpian psyche is made of. Vitriol, bigotry and delusion, which are characteristics absolutely bad for business. Trey Gowdy also impressed me. It's nice to see respect for the FBI for once. Moreover, I think Trump has played all his cards short of firing people, which is, at this point, too late in the game to save him, as well as abject proof of obstruction. The Cohen tapes will probably eviscerate the rest of Trump's case. Anyway, R2D2 is a Disney character (at present) and so is Roseanne, and Disney is big on the "you can be anything Princess" motif, and I have a feeling that it'll be a Disney moment which shall take him down for the count as the villainous archetype he is, and shatter that glass ceiling once and for all.

Media Bias Thread
The right wing media jumped for joy. By any account though, Trump is a corrupt, duplicitous thug. The Republican FBI has corroborated that. I'd expect the watchdogs of democracy would be pissed at such a dangerous farce overlording the country.

Active Measures, Disinfo, Propaganda
Hillary was right when she said the issue in this election was democracy itself.

Active Measures, Disinfo, Propaganda
The fucking Trump movement is part of a grand global assault on democracy itself, and this will "make america great again". What a bunch of grotesquely stupid people these Trumpians are. Total stooges for fascism.

Media Bias Thread
The Facebook fake news was implemented by Russia and they did it for Trump, and it worked, and nobody on the right gives a shit that they were lied to (by an enemy state). That's proof right there who "peddles" in fake news. That it overwhelmingly worked upon one side vs the other tells all.

Media Bias Thread
The Truth leans hard left. The left deals primarily with facts, which they sometimes get wrong. However, the pursuit is an honest one. The right deals primarily with emotions, which are factually indifferent. I feel, therefore I'm right. Thus they continue to believe in falsehoods till the end of time, while the left (much as science does) corrects its inaccuracies. Whereas the right never does. Birtherism, Bengazzi and Spygate are prime examples of this. Truth has a bias away from the past. The right romanticizes the past and it lies accordingly to preserve it. It's why the right abhors the educational system, especially science.

Roseanne
Exactly. Otherwise they would have just fired her, like they did with Charlie Sheen and Jeffrey Tambor.

Donald Trump 2018
I saw this. She was atrocious. I just wrote about false equivalency as an insidiously oft-used propaganda hallmark in the Roseanne thread, and how that and an assortment of other propaganda cheap tricks are so pervasive in the fringe right rhetorical mindset, and there she goes, proving my point. Everybody thereafter called it out as a rank propaganda tactic. But to what end, because they never stop doing it. Fox news blatantly STUDIED Nazi propaganda in order to hone and deploy it. The revolting Frank Luntz considers himself a guru of the practice, and he praises and teaches it all the time. The Newt Gingrich congressional caucus swore by it. Well this is what you get when you imbibe in Nazi theoretics. You get the downfall of your country and the subjugation of you to Russia. idiots.

Roseanne
Nothingburgers are = to 9/11burgers is an example of a false equivalency

Roseanne
Fox perfected the false equivalency gambit, the design of which is to literally excuse everything the right ever does without taking any responsibility or corrective action. It's a staple of propaganda, and a nefarious one, because it assigns blame to the opposing side quite leisurely, while unforgivingly indulging in hypocrisy. It also destroys proportion and context, which creates boogyman out of the innocent. It's how you can equate two emails to wholesale gangsterism.

Anyway, I'd say the witch hunt has found its witch.

Roseanne
She had to go under anesthesia for knee surgery so it would have been an easy kill off. They maybe oughta consider this when things cool off.

Make a sitcom called The Goodmans and hire everybody fired from the Roseanne show but Roseanne. Any story line whatsoever will work.

Roseanne
They should have put Blackish or The Goldbergs in the Roseanne slot.

The Robert Mueller Investigation
Well, spy gate was a monumental lie, huh. Which he's STILL repeating ! It's the Fox News way. Roseanne is a product of that.

Roseanne
Obama seemed pretty good and noble. Bush seemed bad, Trump seems evil.

Roseanne
Trump said the show was all about the both of you. Trump is bad and evil. If you defend him, well, so are you.

Roseanne
You're a racist antisemite, so wherever she lands, her show will be all about you.

Remember when the NRA killed Trayvon Martin, and they said he deserved it on account of his Facebook page ...
