Bill Maher's message to Roseanne from his show ...

I kind of respected Roseanne Barr doing this series, but I never watched it habitually. It is too low life and depressing, but I liked and respected the realism and creativity of it as well as the humor.

Now that it came back, and with the subtext of Roseanne's weird support for Donald Trump, I feel like I have to watch it to see it is serious or what. I can't say I really like it or dislike it. It has the same topical quality to it, which I like, but it's not that funny, and kind of overly politically correct.

To be politically correct is interesting in that, it kind of has to be because if the sexually confused son was not there and the mixed race daughter, and the poverty it would have no sympathy at all .... so of all things, this show to be so politically correct makes it feel fake and unauthentic to me.

On the other hand as Bill Maher pointed out, the show pretty much turns anyone watching it with half a brain against Trump.

Here is some of what Maher said via his show to Roseanne Barr ... ( they were friends apparently )

“You’re now the face of the Trump supporter because you really do speak for a certain kind of American who knows they’re being screwed by someone, they just don’t know who. But here’s what you’re missing about Trump: when he says he’s ‘looking out for the little guy,’ he’s talking about his d*ck,” said Maher.

“You’re a socialist! You’ve been one for 30 years!… You said ‘all of my ideas R based in socialism.’ How does that intersect with Trump? All his ideas are based on national socialism… I’m kidding, he doesn’t have any ideas,” said Maher.

He went on to mock the thousands of dollars that Trump made workers with his tax cuts. “The top 1 percent walked away with 83 percent of the benefits. The elites he rails against on Twitter got billions, forever, and Roseanne Conner got peanuts with an expiration date,” said Maher.

“So, here’s the deal. I get that you were mad as hell and wanted to throw a monkey wrench into the whole works, and I won’t judge that. But if in the next six months you don’t see Trump’s magic starting to work for you, if you’re still trading pills and driving an Uber, wouldn’t the more realistic plot line for season two be your disillusionment with Donald Trump?” said Maher of the character in Roseanne.
