Shack offended? May your house be as good as Rosenne's. Remember the show Roseanne? The hardships facing working-class America? It's back! It's Trump!

There is a Roseanne tweet about Trump is the next Lincoln freeing the Child Sex Slaves tied to the Deep State and the Democratic Party. This is NOT a parody of a news story:

Roseanne Barr faced heavy criticism on social media this weekend after posting a tweet apparently indicating support for an online conspiracy theory claiming President Trump is involved in combating a global trafficking ring tied to the "deep state."

In a tweet posted Friday night, the "Roseanne" star alleged that Trump was breaking up human trafficking rings and freeing "hundreds" of children in sex slavery around the world every month.

"President Trump has freed so many children held in bondage to pimps all over this world. Hundreds each month. He has broken up trafficking rings in high places everywhere. notice that. I disagree on some things, but give him benefit of doubt - 4 now," the actress wrote.

"i thought today was a good day to talk about freeing kids from sex slavery, since it is Passover. I didn't realize that so many were not aware of it. Anyway, no more opinions from me on twitter, it invites bullying. Moving on," Roseanne wrote in a tweet.

Roseanne, an outspoken supporter of the president on social media, spoke with Trump as recently as Wednesday when the president called the actress to congratulate her on the ratings success of the reboot of her show, "Roseanne." The show prominently features Roseanne's politics as a Trump supporter. “We just kind of had a private conversation but we talked about a lot of things and he’s just happy for me,” Roseanne later told ABC’s “Good Morning America" of the call.

For Trump supporters who won't click the link, the bottom line is there is no truth to the rumors that Trump freed the slaves, unlike Lincoln freeing slaves.

The show was in chaos behind the scenes because of Roseanne’s faults. The White House is in chaos behind the scenes because of Trump’s faults.

The actor playing Archie Bunker was no fan of President Nixon, although Carroll O'Connor played a make-believe fan on the show. Roseanne Barr is a real-life fan of Trump, both on and off the show Roseanne.

The Make America Great Again theme song ought to be sung to the tune of Archie Bunker's All In The Family:

Boy the way Glenn Miller Played
Songs that made the Hit Parade
Guys like us we had it made
Those were the days.

And you knew who you were then
Girls were girls and men were men
Mister, we could use a man like Herbert Hoover again

Didn't need no Welfare states
Everybody pulled his weight
Gee our old LaSalle ran great
Those were the days

Is there a problem with Rosanne's house?

We all can't live in Ivory Towers like you do in your mind from your mom's basement.

6ix, why are you not planning a better future for yourself? Are you waiting for your luck to spontaneously change because this America, the land of freedom? I see that most Americans are doing the same as you: US social mobility is much lower than in other rich-countries.

tes#Comparisons_with_other_countries

www.businessinsider.com/social-mobility-is-on-the-decline-and-with-it-
american-dream-2017-7


I’ve got my own theory of why America has the lowest social mobility: too many 6ixStringJacks who think they are doing good enough. They have surrendered to a low-level fate. If they want a little better, for example a few thousand dollars more by lowering their FISA taxes on their paychecks, they think voting for a Trump will bring better. These American chumps are so easily deceived.(Sorry to tell you, 6ixStringJack, but you will have to do more strenuous things than just vote if you expect much better for yourself in next 10 years) I thank God every night in my prayers for making so many slow-thinking American chumps that I can legally cheat out of money. It's the same prayer for Trump and his American success story built upon the misfortune of those he legally cheated. One example:
www.nytimes.com/2016/06/12/nyregion/donald-trump-atlantic-city.html
"He put up little of his own money, shifted personal debts to the casinos and collected millions of dollars in salary, bonuses and other payments. The burden of his failures fell on investors and others who had bet on his business acumen."

GOP TV stations warn of the danger to democracy from watching TV not controlled by GOP

Nearly 200 television stations in the U.S. forced their news anchors to record a promo about “the troubling trend of irresponsible, one sided news stories plaguing our country.” The TV stations owner is a big fan of Trump and wanted his news people to repeat Trump’s words attacking all other stations that are not working for the Republican Party. What was the owner's reward from Trump for serving the GOP? Permission to buy 40 more TV stations.

The script and the video are available at:

Sinclair regularly runs disinformation segments favorable to President Trump: one of its staples is a recurring pre-taped segment featuring Sinclair’s chief political analyst, Russian-born former Trump adviser Boris Epshteyn. As ThinkProgress previously reported, those segments frequently include misleading talking points and misinformation from the Trump administration, packaged as actual political analysis and news coverage.

Jared Kushner, the president’s son-in-law and adviser, said in 2016 that the Trump campaign had agreed to a deal with Sinclair where Sinclair would get more access to Trump in exchange for more Trump-centric coverage.

The story in Wisconsin isn’t just about abuse of power by a Republican Governor. It’s about a political party that knows if it loses power now, it may never regain it.

That may sound ridiculous in a two-party system, but consider the example of California: once the heartland of Reagan conservatism, the Golden State is so hostile to Republicanism that the party is nearly extinct there. California had its own paroxysm of bigoted backlash against demographic change with Proposition 187 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Proposition_187 and Governor Pete Wilson, much as the nation at large has done with Donald Trump. It spelled the party’s doom.

Republican leaders can see the end coming, and they know they must keep power at all costs or potentially lose it for good. The evidence is everywhere, but no more obvious than in their tactics in Wisconsin.

nsin-are-more-important-than-you-think
/

Proposition 187 passed by 59% of the vote in 1994. It declared that illegal aliens shall not receive any public social services, shall not receive any health care services, shall not attend any school. In 1997 it was declared unconstitutional. In 1999 California Republicans gave up on appealing.

A 2006 study published in the American Journal of Political Science found that Republican support of Proposition 187 and two later state ballot initiatives—Proposition 209 in 1996, which ended affirmative action at governmental institutions, and Proposition 227 in 1998, which limited bilingual education in public schools — shifted both white and Latino voters in California away from identifying with the Republican Party and toward the Democratic Party. The authors of the study said that the "results raise serious questions about the long-term efficacy of racially divisive strategies for electoral gain."

Republican strategist Alex Castellanos on Sunday warned President Trump to "get good legal help now."

Castellanos said during a panel on ABC's "This Week" that it is hard to believe that special counsel Robert Mueller "is not going to dig up something in Trump's complicated financial history to say 'Look, the president of the United States did this and it was wrong.'"

"And it's hard to believe then that when Republicans lose the House in 2018, maybe by 40 or 50 seats, that House is not going to impeach him," he said.

"And it's also hard to believe that a U.S. Senate that's going to be scared to death, though may still be in Republican hands, is not going to take a serious look when it has to deal with this president."

He directed a warning to Trump: "So get good legal help now, because the storm is coming."

Wow, state TV is trying to rear it's ugly head here. We need to win big in 2018. We need to win big and smack down hard and regulate social media outlets. We need to take back our airwaves. News outlets like fox need to be held accountable when they spew propaganda. We need to challenge them in court.

It's one thing to have a different perspective or make a mistake when reporting about something, but to knowingly lie is illegal when you represent yourself as a news provider.
