Her mental health issues are well known and she has usually gotten cut some slack around her outbursts-- but this one (yay!) ... too much to stomach. And a healthy light shown (media) on the frequent SLANT of the outbursts. Not cool, Rosie! BuhBYE!

I can't muster any sympathy for someone who hitches their wagon to a racist, whackjob, T***p supporter like RB.

It does Dave, you're quite right, but only by certain individuals, and only on certain types of threads, thank goodness.

I wondered about that too SPB. She's managed to bring the whole edifice down with her hasn't she? I bet her colleagues are hopping mad!

So will ABC continue to pay the salaries of everyone else employed on the series who have nit engaged in such behaviour?

Well done ABC for reacting as they did.

So many people nowadays attempt to look 'smart' by making inappropriate/racist/sexist etc comments on social media.

It's just about at the level of school bullying - trying to make one's mates laugh by saying cruel things about another pupil. Totally pathetic.

She should have engaged her brain before typing, and now she looks an absolute nitwit in her frantic attempts to backpedal.

Trump models the behavior, other bigots think their time has come and they can do it also. And though Trump is still in office, most of the rest of them get what's coming to them. Swiftly. He will get his comeuppance also. It's just taking a bit longer than we hoped.

There is a thing that happens, particularly in the South, but not exclusively. It happened again last week - I was in a store looking for something and realized they only offer it online, to order for pickup later. "Would you like me to order it?" the clerk asked. "No, I know that Walmart has it in stock, though I hate to shop at Walmart." I had a couple of other stops and would look there first. I made some further remark about Walmart, to the effect that any time someone drives onto the property their IQ drops 20 points. All of us - it's just that kind of place. The older man next to me leaned over as a confidant and started to quietly tell me about something "black people do" at Walmart. The question is - to be polite to this old bigot? He thinks he sees a like-minded individual in my white face. "I'm sorry, I wasn't talking about race." I should have told him to shut it down, he was being a racist.

The sludge always sinks to the bottom. This is indicative of the warped culture T***p has been cultivating and trying to exploit with the help of useful idiots like R.B. It's good to see a big corporation doing the right thing for whatever the reason.

There's a chantey by a similar name, isn't there?
What was Roseanne Barr thinking?
Did she want to see how far she could push it
before ABC pushed back?
