She’s a 9-11 truther who believes that “Bush did it,” and she has called the Boston Marathon bombing one of many “false flag terror attacks” perpetrated by the Obama administration to “remove” the Second Amendment. For good measure, she also believes that the old man Bush killed JFK.<br /><br />You can find YouTube videos of her rambling about “MK ULTRA Mind Control” on RT, and she seems particularly fond of the notion that the American ruling class is running some manner of pedophile sex cult. Her views on Jews and Israel fluctuate wildly — in the past, she has called Israel a “Nazi state” and alleged that Zionism was created by the Third Reich (or something — I challenge you to succinctly summarize the opinions expressed here), though more recently she’s taken to accusing Hillary Clinton of plotting Israel’s destruction and labeling aide Huma Abedin a “Nazi whore.”Anthonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16124128949343301445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-31682069379213499742018-04-04T10:25:54.631-04:002018-04-04T10:25:54.631-04:00Tryanmax - I agree that the first version years ag...Tryanmax - I agree that the first version years ago went on too long as most shows do eventually. And I doubt this new one will go on as long. It's just fun to watch a PC-breaking show that everyone is freaking out about because it's more honest. And as Stacy brings up, it's a pleasant surprise to see the grandparents adults schooling the grandkids in manners and gratefulness and the parents doing a bit of "okay, I understand now, Mom. Kids need boundaries"-ness.BevfromNYChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14953050916932306270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-78632136949559189242018-04-04T09:58:17.939-04:002018-04-04T09:58:17.939-04:00I may give the new Roseanne a watch (thank you, st...I may give the new Roseanne a watch (thank you, streaming). I remember watching the show as a kid, back when weekly family viewing was a thing (no longer, thanks to streaming). I also remember the episodes falling off in quality as they entered the "very special episode" phase about 5 or 6 years in.<br /><br />Here's what's funny, if you think about it. The show purportedly catalogs the struggles of a working-class family, but Roseanne and Dan are actually serial entrepreneurs. Dan just had a penchant for going into business with crummy partners. tryanmaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09881154741574720094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-61947493954290562018-04-03T21:47:14.117-04:002018-04-03T21:47:14.117-04:00I haven't been a fan of Roseanne in recent yea...I haven't been a fan of Roseanne in recent years, but was curious enough to watch the show and was surprised. Other than the over-the-topness of having literally EVERY hot button topic represented in a single family, it is as you said, real. They are flawed and trying to survive in a world that doesn't care much about the white working lower middle class. <br /><br />The same irreverent humor is there and it's balanced...everyone and everything is fair game. I had honestly expected the show to be a liberal lovefest, to find it otherwise was a pleasant surprise. It's also nice to see a comedy in which the adults are in control and the kids are held accountable when they are disrespectful.Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06316595488903619354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-51258829221260750002018-04-03T20:53:52.842-04:002018-04-03T20:53:52.842-04:00It’s devoid of random idiocy, outlandish conspirac...It’s devoid of random idiocy, outlandish conspiracy theories and theatrical cruelty? Huh. Be interesting to see how well ratings hold up. <br /><br />I lost my appetite for sitcoms two decades ago but it’s nice Roseanne is doing well.Anthonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16124128949343301445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-58868333254520526672018-04-03T17:22:27.820-04:002018-04-03T17:22:27.820-04:00The fact that it's not mean will disappoint th...The fact that it's not mean will disappoint the progressives.LLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05538854359365988863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-62497962520029513682018-04-03T16:09:26.753-04:002018-04-03T16:09:26.753-04:00And now a word from our sponsor...
