What did Allen do?

Nothing illegal or racist or anything. Just found out he’s another trump nut. Disappointing because I’m a big fan. He also said he’s planning on doing some big pro gun episodes now that the show has been revived :noway:

It's one of the reasons they pulled Last Man Standing, even though it was their most successful comedy at the time.

--Mags
Wait, what? Last man standing wasn't doing great in the ratings for the time slot, that's why they pulled it. I dont think Tim Allen said or did anything offensive


Nope. It was pulling 7+ Million with ease IIRC. It was the leader of their Comedy block on Friday nights.

They changed up their Friday format and used that as a main reason for suddenly canceling it. The other being they didn't own the rights. They were long rumored to not be happy anymore with the edgy show and wanting to distance themselves from it in the "new" Hollywood.

Yes, that's right. The TOP man who green lit Black Panther is an even BIGGER supporter of Big Mouth Donald Trump.

This is why, I don't like this left wing fascist attitude of chasing and punishing anyone who says anything out of line with political correctness. It makes it too easy and accepted practice of punishment that can go further and further.

Also don't be so sure that the person doing it is the kind person believing it's right. You'll find the most EVIL people are the ones agreeing with the public to garner/solidify their power and control.


yeah, so... none of this has anything to do with supporting trump or not. no one had a problem with roseanne having a show and being who she is.

It has everything to do with being a Trump supporter, because she showed that when given a platform that requires at least a bit of emotional discipline and intellectual integrity you are not going to get that from a cosmic pizza, george soros hustling Trump supporting fool

And because the most rabid Trump supporters are just as brainwashed with toxic BS and lies, she was a test case for the normalization of Trump support at the highest rung of the entertainment media complex and the experiment failed with a giant thudding crash

So, no, it is not a singular incident that merely shows she is mentally ill and deranged. It is an indictment of the practice of giving a public bullhorn to Trump supporters who spread lies and have zero capacity for engaging in fact-based debates.

Roseanne is THE BASE and that Trump base has repeatedly been exposed as having a rotten racist heart at its core. This just a stake right into the heart of that kind of evil BS

And typical of racist MAGA types is the self-defense that they are not racist. Well, ask Wanda Sykes how that works, because you can be fine one day with your co-worker and then have to deal with these racist hatreds that are bubbling underneath the next. I'm sure Roseanne will try to defend her racism somehow. Or perhaps she'll say I'm sorry I was being racist. And that won't really change the core problem is that having a bad day at the office doesn't make you tweet that people are from the planet of the apes.

She's got issues that have everything to do with the same issues that all die hard Trump supporters have. If they don't say a black person is a monkey, they are perfectly OK with it being said. She has no filters and you don't let her become a spokesperson for the crap sentiments of the Trump base she wedded herself to. If she wants to self-destruct, let her do it on her own dime. You don't subsidize Trump spokespeople like that if you are a respectable media platform and that is exactly what she was

That is such a broad stroke that it makes your point useless.

Yes, people are more easily offended, but how is that relevant?

The only logical conclusion to derive from your post is you think her free speech rights are being trampled by the easily offended.

I guess it doesn't offend you that the # 1 public face of Trump MAGA in the entertainment world is calling black people monkeys. So are you saying we're just touchy little social justice warriors?

Are you also saying you support Trump?

Because if all you got out of this is people are touchy, then maybe you don't think she did anything wrong. And the only person I could think of as having that POV is a die hard Trump supporter.

I don't know if you've already figured out Donald Trump is a white supremacist. Did you know his father Fred Trump was once arrested at a KKK rally in Washington DC?

Perhaps that doesn't matter to you, but Roseanne seems fine with it.

there are trump supporters everywhere. they don't all say things like this. roseanne's action got her show canceled, not her support of trump.

i live and work among trump supporters all the time. they're not my cup of tea. we don't hang or anything, but they also don't say things like what roseanne did in public. any who do would suffer the consequences.

as has been pointed out, there are trump supporters bankrolling abc right now. progressive-ass abc with the black female network president and mad shonda rimes shows keeping the lights on. they're not tweeting racist things though.

You're being very compartmentalized about this. That trait is what allows good people to tacitly accept insidious support of toxic lies until it is too late to fight back. Like I said, those people you work with that you are tolerating because you probably don't have a choice as it is your livelihood are perfectly OK with the monkey talk whether they say it themselves or not.

This nation is full of closet racists and Trump is so obscenely racist that supporting him now can no longer be compartmentalized as liking some things without being a racist. You are what you eat and your beliefs are what you support.

If Trump were not a fascist and a racist then there'd be some grey areas left to allow for people to support someone they don't fully abide by, but this administration has scorched the earth of the body politic and forced people to take sides.

Saying Roseanne's statements got her fired is true. Saying it has nothing to do with being a MAGA POS person is completely false. They are inextricably entwined and compartmentalizing the truth does not explain this one bit.

No not really, but to sum it up in one sentence for you in layman's terms, since the pictures didn't work, maybe if things offend people so easily they should grow a thicker skin.

k? ok. im done. And not getting into a political discussion that always never ends well.
