    for a party chock full of “tough guy” personas, the republican party as a whole sure does love to play the victim card for every single problem they caused for themselves

    It’s genuinely sad that our political discourse has been manipulated by the GOP to the point that families are torn apart. They claim to be all about families and family values and shit, but they care only about destruction.

      Not destruction. Control. They want CONTROL of the country, and they’ve had many, many wins over the last decade.

      They don’t care if all they’re ruling over is ashes so long as they are ruling it. They’re tiny-brained morons that LITERALLY do not understand government.

    "They’re my kids. I still have Democrat kids, oh God, help me, and my mom too is still a Democrat,” she wailed. “We’ve gotta convert ’em, Roseanne,” offered the host.

    “I have tried like hell — and my brother, my gay brother, my gay sister. They’re all, you know — I tried like hell and now they don’t even talk to me. I try to text them and they don’t take my texts.” Remorselessly, she sneers, “Whatever!”

    “Roseanne, we still love you here at Newsmax,” replied the host.

    The cult still loves you, even after the family we helped you alienate is gone

    The only part about this I feel bad about is that she was actually funny in a unique way, and now I can’t watch her Portlandia episode without thinking she actually means everything in it… Though I suppose it’s just funny in a different, real crazy instead of pretend crazy way

      She could have been a real powerful voice for working class and the very real problems they have thanks to both parties’ policies.

      Instead, she jumped onto the crazy, bigot train.

    Why does she keep letting the world know this stuff? Why not just shut up and make some money and friends again? Or even better, evaluate why they won’t talk to her, make changes, and then let the world know about that!
