Let's take a trip down memory lane with Roseanne Barr, neo-fascist con man Donald "Rump" Trump's favorite "comedian."
First, her embrace of conspiracy theories almost make Rump look sane. "Pizzagate," the lies about Seth Rich's murder, they're all there. (See update below) She's even got a despicable one about the Parkland school massacre.
Second, her cruel satire on the Holocaust, dressing up as Hitler and "baking" what she claimed were Palestinians to protest their treatment by Israel:
The photo is real. @therealroseanne burned cookies that looked like people in an oven while dressed as Adolph Hitler. I am actually crying. I think of the anguish of my family. I think of this little boy, Antosh, my sons' great uncle, murdered at 11. One of Roseanne's cookies. pic.twitter.com/rEWWk6ezfW— Kurt Eichenwald (@kurteichenwald) March 29, 2018
Third, this Trumpian über-patriot deliberately butchered the national anthem back in July 1990 at a San Diego Padres baseball game (no link, mercifully), spitting and grabbing her crotch (what, Rump wasn't available?).
Undoubtedly, her reboot show will get plaudits from the Beltway journos who specialize in interpreting the manufactured "economic angst" and mood of the goobers that voted for Rump as viewed through Barr's nasty eyes. Just as long as they give you the full picture of the low bar we're dealing with.
UPDATE: Not to put too fine a point on it, but she's absolutely bonkers.

Hmmm. I never scount on the beltway journos to do their job. Whichever holiday you celebrate, have a happy and healthy one, Hackie!
Is Disney Roseann Barr's program's parent company? I wonder if she shared this lovely event with them prior to the show's beginning. I imagine this Nazi look isn't something they want to be associated with, no matter how it was presented.
Being bombarded by Trump crap all day, I have no reason to spend my precious evening entertainment time on someone who celebrates Trump and calls him a personal friend. I didn't like the original show and I don't plan to watch the remake. I have always liked John Goodman and Sarah Gilbert, and Laurie Metcalf, too. But not in this context.
Diva -- Thanks, and same wish to you!
donnah -- We think whoever "green lighted" this nonsense was pressured by Barr to include her own personal political beliefs. However, once the non-Trumpist audience gets the drift of her messaging, she'll lose a goodly share. We found the old show mostly distasteful simply because of her ever-present obnoxious personality....
What unbelievable shit. Reboot? It needs to be canceled right away.
I just read that ABC renewed it for a second season already. Guess Mickey Mouse is okay with Nazis.
