ABC bringing back Roseanne's show in the first place is one of the most large-scale "Scorpion and the Frog" analogies I've seen

If Barr's bigoted tweets weren't going to be enough incentive for ABC to cancel, the horrific optics of the FEMA Fraud season finale following the new Puerto Rico death toll sure would've…#Roseanne

I swear if Roseanne ends up president in six years I'll shit actual bees

So who owns Roseanne as a show?

Wondering because I'm curious if she can pull a Tim Allen and whine about how political correctness got her cancelled until Fox picks her show up.

WHOOOOOA ROSEANNE GOT CANCELLED

Good on ABC. I'm surprised as hell they canceled it but I love that they did.

How soon until she gets invited to the White House

If I may, Master Wayne.

It seems in their desperation to make money from division and grievance, this network hired a woman they didn't fully understand. Some women don't care about ratings, or their crew's livelihoods.

Some women, just want to watch the world burn. pic.twitter.com/ex6s0AOD06

This relaunch was intentionally poisonous from the get-go. Not to mention a betrayal of the original series' spirit of rebellion against sexism and economic inequality. Good riddance, Roseanne, and condolences to all the actors and crew who lost their jobs due to her idiocy. https://t.co/ubB2GK23KN

On the bright side, Roseanne is more qualified than ever to run for President.

I got the DM's asking me. Okay. Here we go.

For the record, I've spent 41 years on Earth not caring about Roseanne Barr's opinion of anything. The Hill Administration has no change in policy to announce at this time. Have a good day, everyone.

Let's be clear, Roseanne Barr has not been 'revealed' as a racist by that one tweet today. She's been openly racist, anti-semitic and transphobic for many years. Anyone who thinks this tweet is worse than many other things she's said hasn't been paying attention.
